FIFTH ELECTORAL DISTRICT.

A Convention Of the Wings of the Fifth
Electoral District Of the State Of Missouri,
was held at Bolivar, in Polk county, on the
25h Of March. William L. Vaughn, Esq,
of Benton county presided, assisted by six
Vice Presidents.
John s. Waddill. Of Greene county, was
appointed Elector for the District, and
Thos. Mosely, Of Jasper county, Dele
gate to the National Convention: Joshua
Jones alternate.
A delegation Of two persons from each
county in the district was appointed to the
Young Mems Convention of Ratification.
The convention adopted an address and
series of resolutions, setting forth the
principles and objects Of the wings, and
expressing preference for Henry Clay
for President.
An assistant Elector for each county in
the District was also appointed. Organ-
cation was recommended to the Wings Of
the different counties, and resolution
adopted in favor of a mass convention at
Lexington, some time during the summer.
Not within our recollection of political
events, have the wings of Missouri evnced
so much enthusiasm and determination
Every where are they making active PREP
ar,ons, and no pains will be spared to
place their principles fairly before the peo-
pie, We rejoice 10 see this--for as ma
tive of the State, we desire most earnestly
to see her governed by what we conceive
TO be correct political principles, and TO
throw off the yoke of bondage and obei-
sance which so long has held her under the
thumb of a single individual, who cares
nothing for her interests, except as they
advance Ills purposes. And we think
we see the dawning of brighter days
though dim as yet-but steadily increa-
sing, and the day is not far distant, when
Missouri will right herself, and come to the
aid of those who have ever been her true
friends.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Just as our paper was going to press,

ferson, the following particulars of the pro-
ceedngs of the Democratic convention,
which was held at that place on Monday
last

and DR.. Cannon, of Cape Girardeau, with
assistant electors in each district--names
not known. -,H r..
Three Delegates were appointed to the
Baltimore Convention from each Electoral
District in the State.
The Convention was composed of li2
Delegates. Messrs. Hudson, Treat and
Ranney. Of 81. Louis, and B. +. Robinson
of Benton, withdrew from the Convention,
in consequence of the adoption of reso-
luton to the effect, that in cases where two
sets of delegates appeared from the same
county, their claims 10 seats should be re.
ferred TO the Convention, they pledging
themselves to abide its decision, and also 10
support its nominees. ..r ..
For or against Benton! was the SUBJ
stance Of the question asked when nomi-
nation was submitted, and several aspirants
were defeated, in consequence of suspicion
that they were somewha, soft. We admire

TExAs.--The question of annexation of
Texas to the Union is beginning to be pref.
ty warmly discussed through the public
prints. The northern papers, as might
naturally have been expected, generally
oppose any such movement. The Nation
al IntelIigencer has taken decided grounds
against annexation. The Baltimore Clipper,
a neutral paper, says that the project will
meet with but little favor in Maryland
The Baltimore American deprecates it as a
dangerous measure. The Madisonian is in
favor of annexation, The Lexington En-,
quirer, KY, condemns annexation, and the
Louisville Dime says it will convulse the
country, President Tyler favors the mea.
sure, and Mr., Calhoun is also understood
10 be in favor Of it.

An INTELLIGENT SENAroR--The fol-
lowing scene, which occurred in the Mas
sachusetts Senate the other day, is decided
Iy too good 10 be lost: We copy from the
Boston Courier:
The Senate was indebted yesterday for
a hearty laugh to the gentleman who had
previously informed members that Louis
Philippe was a son of Napoleon; DR..
Gardner of Bristol, the Chairman of The
Committee on Education. was this eurodte
individual. In the course of the debate
upon the Agricultural Resolutions which
he had introduced, the subject of the du-
ty upon soft soap was brought into notice
and Dr. Gardner stated that the duty on
this article was fifty cents per pound. He
was corrected by several Senators, and
among others by Mr.. Livcrmore of Mid.
dlesex, who stated that the duty on the ar
ticle was fifty cents barrel. DIR. Gard
ner was highly incensed at this contradic-
lion, and appealed to the Tariff itself, from
which he quoted the provision establishing
the duty on soft soap at so cents per Dbl
Now" said the Doctor, IF bbl. does not
mean pound, will thank some gentleman
tell me Wh0t IL does mean !" A general
roar from all parts of the board was the
response to this inquiry, under cover of
which the head of the Committee on Edu.
cation sat down without insisting on the
information he had requested.

WInformation has been received at
Washington that Mr.. Calhoun has accepted
the appointment of Secretary of State, and
may shortly be expected in that city. A
rumor is in circulation 10 the effect, that he
only accepts until the Oregon and Texas
difficulties are arranged--whethcr true or
not we have no means of determining.

WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR.

THOMAS MARSHALL, of Lewis county,
Missouri, announces himself candidate
for Governor, in an Address "ro the Inde-
pendent voters of Missouri" published in
the last Paris Mercury. Mr. Marshall, we
learn from his Address, is a wing, and in
favor of wing measures, follows farming
for living, is cousin of Chief Justice
Marshall, and says "unsolicited, uncaucussed,
and untrammelled," he announces himself
candidate for Governor. If solicited or
caucussed over, it must have been by
democrats, as the wings long since an.
nounced they deemed it inexpedient TO run
candidate for the office of Governor at
the approaching election. Somebody will
be elected, doubtless, and Mr.. Marshall
we suppose, thinks he stands as good q
chance as any.
