OLD PSALM TUNTs.--There is to US,
more Of touching pathos, heart. Thrilling
expression in some Of the old psalm tunes
feeingly displayed than in whole batch
of modernisms. The strains 60 home,
and the 'iountains Of the great deep are
broken up"-,he great deep of unfath-
enable feeling that lies far, far below the
surface Of the world hardened heart; and
as the unwonted yet unchecked tear starts
in the eye, the soitened spirit yields to
their influence. and shakes off the load OF
earthly care, rising purified and spiritual
lzed into clearer atmosphere. Strange
inexplcable associations brood over the
mind, "like the far off dreams OF para
disc" mingling their chaste melancholy
with musing Of still, subdued, though
more cheerful character. How many
glad hearts in the olden time have rejoiced
in these songs of praise; how many sor-
rowful ones sighed out their complaints
in these plaintive notes, that steal sadly
yet swee;ly on the ear, hearts that now
cold in death are laid TO rest, around that
sacred church, within whose walls they
had so often swelled with emotion -

was soon recognized that accomplished
musiclan and vocalist, John II. Blondel,
whose bugIe notes never fail TO wake up
patriotic emotions in the bosoms Of Amer
leans. Mr.. B. and some other gentle
men OF the Martinsburg Glee Club were
soon found in harmony with the Charles
town GIee Club, and during the festival
added much to the JOY Of the occasion.
The Darkcsyile delegation, on wagons,
comprised shoemakers, tailos, coopers,
harness makers and fullers, all busily at
work, exemplifying that by industry we
thrive" Our opportunity at this point
was somewhat limited, and our notes were
not as iuIl as could have been desired.
The Hampshire and Hardy Wings were
mingled with their brethren in different
parts Of the procession.
Delegates from the Tenth Legion were
also among their brethren--ful OF the
.'fire of the flint" and hearty ia the
cause Of their country.

The spirited corps Of Wings, who had
come up from the Metropolis Of the Ma.

with almost unrivaled ability, accom-.
panied by the violin, flute. &c. We re.
gret that we cannot enumerate their songs,
or do Justice 10 their efforts. They were

seemed untiring in their exertions to
please. II may be but faint tribute TO
say, that they were the theme Of admira.

on an excursion Of pleasure, where mirth
ruled the hour" their department as gen.

of our citizens. Their visit will long be
remembered, and we hope they have had
evidences of kindly appreciation oftheir
efforts to give pleasing variety 10 the
scenes Of the memorable two days.

are objects for which the Wing Party
will increasingly strive, until the efforts
are crowned with signal and permanent
success.
Resolved, That the disorganizing and
revolutionary spirit, which has again ap.
peared in certain portions OF our country,
calls for the indignant rebuke oil every
genuine patriot of the land--that we view
with Unqualified adherence the unworthy
and traitorous sentiment, which presents
the annexation of Texas as a question
paramount in importance 10 the preserva-
ton of our glorious Union--and, approx
ing the stand taken by our Wing breth-
ern of the City of Richmond, we cordial.
y join them in protesting against the des'
ecration Of the soil Of Virginia, by conve.
ming anywhere within our borders the
proposed Southern Convention.
RESOLVED, That we have listened with
great satisfaction, pleasure and profit, to
the able and conclusive defence Of Wing
principles and policy by the Hon. WILL
LIAM C.. RIvEs--one of whom Virginia
may well be proud, for (next to Henry
Clay,) he has proved more strongly than
any living statesman, that he prefers the
interests of his country over party or per-
sonal claims.
ReSolued, That we tender the thanks
of the Wings of this district to Messrs.
Reverdy Johnson, Alexander II. II. Stu.
art, John Janney, DR.. G.. McClelland,
and our other Wing friends, for their
able assistance to us, in the advocacy OF
true Wing principles.

are also due and rendered to the members

From the Boonville Observer.

The 10th of October is now almost upon
US, inspiring lively and enthusiastic spirits
and busy preparations. Our mechanics,
farmers, and professional men, are hurry
ing forward the work. Already have we
cleared out all the polk.stalks and rubbish
from the ground selected for the great wing
council gathering, and the green sward
even looks more beautiful as if enjoying
a foretaste of especial duty, to enhance
the pleasure of the wings of old Cooper
to greet here her brethren throughout the
State. We have been busy with our axes,
hoes, hatchets and saws, and every crack
of the hammer gives thrill of joyous
greeting to all who shall visit US, and hail
the national flag that is nailed to our mast,
inscribed thereupon the names Of Clay
and Frelinghuysen. Ample arrangements
are made for your accommodation, and the
wings of our county await the glorious day,
to dispense their hospitality to the greatest
concourse that will have ever assembled
in our State. Several fields of pasturage
for those who come with camp equipage,
are provided for their horses. Lieut..
Brady's fine brass band has been procured
to regale your taste for national music, and
we will add the services of the Cooper
Glee Club. With sanguine hopes and proud
and buoyant hearts we read the almost innu.
merable accounts of gatherings in mighty
masses, of the wings throughout the Union,
and ambition fires our bosoms to herald
forth to our sister States, as worthy of
record, the spirit of the Wings of Missouri.
Let every county do its best, yea, if posi-
BILE, let every wing in the Stats represent
himself upon the spot; and as many of you
as can, bring with you your married ladies'
and your single ladies'. Although we have
for so long struggled under the rule of an
oppressive majority, we have not struggled
in vain, and let US press forward under the
cheering advances already made, and a
glorious triumph of our principles will
finally, like the light of heaven, burst upon
our adversaries, and crown our untirng
exertions with success

A LITTLE AWKWARD.

A convention of Locofoco delegates to
nominate county officers met in Clinton
county, Pennsylvania, last week, and in
the course of the deliberations it was dis
covered that several members of the con-
vention intended to support Mr.. Clay, but
would adhere 10 any resolution to support
the ticket excerpt for President. This
caused some Excitement and motion was
made TO exclude the Clay men, but the
President of the meeting in the course OF
remarks upon the subject observed that he
was also Clay man, that if the other Clay
delegates were to be turned out, he would
also retire; whereupon they concluded to
let all remain. We think it likely that, if a
true expression were to be given, a good
many Clay men would be found in all the
locofoco conventions throughout the coun-
try. Whether they express themselves be-
fore or not, however, their votes will tell in
November for Mr.. Clay.-Republican.

CHARACTERISTIC MEANNEss
From the Boonville Observe

A number of our citizens recently formed
volunteer Artillery Company and after
adopting a Constitution, selecting their
uniform and eecting their officers, sent to
Jefferson City for the cannon 10 which
they were justly entitled by law. They
had strictly complied with the law regulat-
ing the organization of volunteer compa-
nies and did not dream of there being any
difficulty in their obtaining the cannon; yet
when they sent for it, 10 their surprise they
found that some busybody had prevailed
with his accidency to withhold tie cannon,
lest il might be fired at The wing conven-
ton TO be held here in October, and he
absolutely refused to let it be surrendered
to them until the General of the battalion,
to which the company was attached, prom.
Used that it should not be used on that occa-
sion. This is decidedly the most pitiful
act of malignance that we ever knew any
one occupying, even accidentally, the dig
nitied station Of Governor, to be guilty of.
The company did not ask any fauOr of
Governor Marmaduke; they only asked
what they were by Law entitled TO, and
which he had no right to withhold and
could not withhold without violating the
duties of his office; nor had he right to
extort any promise as TO how it should be
used; this was none of his business. They
had right to it and if they use it i'm
properly and it should be injured thereby,
they, and not Gov. Marmaduke are re-.
sponsible. While he is so fearful that this
cannon will be fired by the Wings at their
Convention, one of the Government can
mons is kept at Jefferson city for the spe-
cial accommodation of the Locofocos, and
no one ever yet heard of his accidency's
prohibiting its use at Locofoco conven-
ton.
1t so happens that the 10th of October
is the regular muster day and the law re.
quires the company to exercise with the
cannon on that day, SO that they will have
10 either disobey the injunctions of Gov.
Marmaduke, or fail to discharge a duty
that the law enjoins upon them and to
crafty his malignance subject themselves
TO fine.
His accidencys pains were entirely unne.
cessary, as the wings will have no use for
the cannon on the 10th of October, our
wing friends of Jefferson city having kind.
ly furnished US with much larger one for
the occasion.

BOONVILLE CONVENTION.

The proceedings of public meeting
held in this place last Saturday, in refer
ence to the Boonville Convention, will be
found in another column of to-day's paper.
We are requested to call particular atten-
ton TO them, in order that the plan of pro-
ceeding may be properly understood. All
who reside east, west and north of this
place, are requested to be here by 10
o'clock, Wednesday, so that the necessary
arrangements can be made for starting by
10 o'clock. The wagons, containing the
provisions, tents, bedding and baggage, had
probably better be started at an earlier
hour. The citizens of the different town
ships and neighborhoods can arrange them
selves into suitable messes for the trip, and
thus diminish the number of horses and
wagons.

J. M. CLAYTON, Esq.

The ST. Louis Republican says: "a good
deal has been said by one of the Locofoco
papers in this city, about the sudden arri-
val at and the departure of COL BENTON
from this city--his pleading his Congress,
sional privilege, and connecting it with a
case in the Circuit Court. We hear, that
the Sheriff, on Monday last, made return
of an attachment against Col. b., that he
had him in custody; that thereupon, a
motion was made to squash" the attach
meat; that it was argued before the Court
yesterday, by counsel, and the motion
over-rued; and that an order was then
made commanding the Sheriff TO have the
body of Col. BENTON before the said Cour,
on Monday next. Further proceedings
will then, we suppose, be had"
