The present condition Of the Loco Foeo party
Of this State, presents a crisis IN the affairs Of
the Wings, which, If used with spirit and ener,

dscord and confusion, that prevail among the
Loco Focos, the fierce and angry feelings, which
have arisen in their ranks, and tie jealousies
and dissention, which have split them into fac
tons, together with the exposure, which they
make Of their own proaigacy and corruption,
give assurance that lheiI complete overthrow is
near at hand. Their corruption and abandon
ment Of principle are rapidly working their own
cure, and public sentiment Is again assuming a

duty ofthe Wing party to speed the progress Of
this political and moral revolution 70 pros

WING MEETINGS.

were held in tae counties Of Noxubee and
Kinds, for the purpose Of appointing delegates
to the Jackson Wing convention. Al the
Noxubee meeting resolution was passed IN
structing the delegates to vote for none bui
Wings in the convention. A more liberal
sentiment was adopted by the Kinds county
meeting. They resolved That those gentle

This is the proper spirii,in which Wings should

disposed to unite with the Wings in their op.

As no day has yet been suggested for hol-
ding meeting Of the wings Of this county, we
will take the liberty Of proposing the SECOND
MoSDAT N MAY, as a suitable occasion for
that purpose. Should this day be generally
approved of BY the party, It is hoped that there
will be a foil attendance Of the wings at the
Court House in Columbus az II o'clock A. m.
to appoint delegates TO the convention propOs-
