EXTENSION OF THE SUFFRAGE.-Ihe bill to IN
crease the revenue of the State and impose
capitation tax came up yesterday in the House
as the special order Of the day. Violent and long
continued efforts were made by the opponents of
the bill to defeat il by indirectlon, but in vain
and, after world of argument and discussion,
the first section of the bill was adopted. This
section imposes tax Of SIS on physicians and
LAWYERS, and tax of S on all housekeepers and
their sons above the age of 81, on all mechanics,
editors, cultivaters Of the soil, &c. We have
little doubt that in this form the bill will pass.

Great Wing State Convention I'm
Louisiana.

For several DAYS we have noticed in those
.taunch audable Wing Journals, the Bee and
Tropic that an unusual degree of excitement ex-
listed in various parts of the State on the subject
of the great Wing State Convention to be held at
New Orleans on the Birthday of Washington.
By Yesterdays mail we received the New Orleans
papers of the 3d. (the day Of the Convention,)
and the Picayune, only, of the 23d Thus pro-
vokingly deprived of the official accounts from
the Wing Journals, we must content ourselves
with the following brief sketch from the excellent
Picayune The mail to night if should come
through will bring us further accounts.

THE WING CONVENTION.
The Wing Convention yesterday was large,
very large-respectable, very respectabe-and
imposing, very imposing. 1t could not have
numbered less than three thousand persons from
the country, who came from every parish and
every point of the State 1t formed at the
foot of Canal street, the members from every dis
trict taking their appointed place in the process
sion. 1t then marched up Magazine street to
Povdras, down St. Charles and Royal street TO
Esplanade street--from Esplanade to Condo St,
and ND Condo street to the Place d'Armes, with
martial music playing, and banners floating IN
the breeze. A platform was erected in the Square
from which the meeting was called to order. a
President, Vice President, and Secretaries were
appointed and the Hon s. S. Prentiss of Mlssls-
sipp, stepped forward, or as he expressed 1t, was
put forward to address the meeting. He spoke
long and eloquently, eliciting as he went on, the
warm plaudits of the meeting. His speech was
thicky studded with brilliant metaphors, it glowed
with tropes Of classic thought and poetic imagery
When Mr.. P had finished his speech, resolu-
tons were passed providing for the appointment
of a committee to nominate President, Vice Pres
idents and Secretaries. Gov Poindexter then
addressed the meeting in an able speech, after
which it adjourned.

obedience to instructions from the late acting Sc
retary of State, Mr.. Legare, respecting the visit
of Mr. Cushing, upon his arrival IN China, to Pc

with evident disquiet, although he very politely
undertook to transmit it to the Emperor and send
Mr.. Forbes an early answer. Mr. Forbes and has
party were received by Keying with the utmost

IT Gen. HENRY FR1cK, Member Of Congress
from the XIIIth District Of Pennsylvania, CON-
posed of Union, Lycoming, Northumberland and
Clinton Counties, died at Washington at noon on
Friday. lst inst. in the 49th year of his age This
is a melancholy loss. Gen. Frick was for many
wears Editor of THE Miltonian,' Northumber-
land Co. Pa. and was for years active in the sup
port of Gen. Jackson but, when the latter aban.
doned the great Measures Of Public Policy with
which the interests of Pennsylvania are so closely
Unidentified, Gen. F. and his paper separated from
Gen. Jackson TO stand by the Public Welfare
He had before been Member of the Legislature
and held several responsible stations but this
course threw him into the background-Nor
cumberland being still strongly for Jackson. But
last year he was brought forward for Congress by
the Wings, and, through his own popularity and
the general dislike of his opponent, John Snyder,
he unexpectedly slipped in by 249 majority,
though the District is badly Loco-Foco, giving
go for Van Buren, even in l840. We apprehend
his death will weaken the Wings in the Delega-
ton.

JOHN LoR1MER GRAHAM appears in our columns
this morning in full and circumstantal vindica-
ton of his conduct in connexion with the North
American Trust and Banking Company. We
are by no means familiar with the merits of this
controversy, yet we believe it one on which two
sides are to be heard before pronouncing juds-
ment. Asin the case of the late U. S. Bank and
others, there are men in abundance among us
who contributed or consented to the open or vir-
tual Reputation of State Debts, which struck
dead the best part of the assets of these lnstltu-
tons, and then abused their officers roundly as
swindleys because they could not perform impos-
sibihties and pay in full when the means OF pay
ment had withered in their vaults. Read Mr..
Graham's vlndication.

long since retired from active business, with cn
ample fortune His memory was perfect store
