WING MEETING AT MT. soLoN.

AT meeting of portion of the Whips Of
MI. Scion and vicinity, at the School-house near
that place, on Saturday the Goth ut., ON motion
>. MARSHALL McCuE was called TO the Chair.
and JOHN X. SYRcLE appointed Secretary whefe.
upon the following preamble and resolutions were
submitted and adopted
Whereas at a late meeting of the Democratic
party OF this county, candidates were selected to
DC Ve'ed lor by them 10 represent the county in
The next House Of Delegates, and from the fact.
mat we, with five candidates in the field incur
the hazard OF the election Of one, if not both of
inc aforesaid Democratic candidates-and enter
tanning the feeling as We do, that we would be
honorably represented by any two of the Wbir
candidates now in the field; yet 10 guard against
the danger alluded to, we take the liberty to
make the suggestions contained in the appended
resolutions.
Therefore, Resolved, That each of the Whip
candidates select three friends each, whose duty
1t shall be TO meet in conference at some place
(say the Court House,) and let them determine
by ballot, upon two Of the five, whom they nav
recommend to the Wings of the county to be
voted for by them.
Resolved further, That entertaining as we do
the hope that this plan, subject to fewer obec.
lions than any other that has been suggested,
may meet the views Of the candidates themselves,
we do respectfully bring it TO their consideration.
Resolved further, That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secre.
tary, and published in the Stanton Spectator.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CONFERENCES.
The following is an extract from the Christian
Advocate and Journal Of last week, written by
one Of the editors of that paper, dated
BALTIMORE, March 90, lei5.
On the great questions which agitate the Church
Inc Baltimore Conference stands, as expected il
to stand, on the old Methodist platform. ALWAYS
decidedly antislavery in feeling and doctrine the
preachers have never been inoculated with the
wild and impracticable schemes Of ul,ra-aboli-
tionism; aud now that they are assaulted on the
other side by ultra, or what is called pro. slavery
they are equally unyielding. Mr.. Harding's
case again came up yesterday. He appeared in
person. The case stands unaltered. lie stated
ms purpose to send his slaves TO Liberia, and iha
mis- wife concurred in This purpose. He was even
now educating the oldest Of them, in the inter
walls OF labor, for this destination; but then he
would give no guaranty for the fulflment of this
purpose. All that was necessary, in order to
give his brethren satisfaction, was to execute a
deed OF manumission, to take effect as tho slaves
seVeraliy arrived at certain age, upon their con-
sehuhg 10 60 to Africa. But this he would not
consent 10 do. and upon vote to continue his
suspension while the embarrassment under which
he iabored remained, one hundred and fifty eight
members voted in the affirmative, and only fifteen
in the negative.
The Conference sits with closed doors, and the
exclusion oil all but travelling preachers and Off
GERS OF the General Conference is rigidy enforc-
ed. This measure was adopted OH account of
the evil effects which it was apprehended might
be produced by the discussions which i, was sup
posed would arise from the subject Of Church
division, which must necessarily come up in the
course OF the session, and the imperfect reports
OF them which would be daily issued in the
newspapers. i confess l was afraid that the
members of the Church in the city would not be

so long enjoyed, but l find it universally ap-
proved and indeed it appears to have been su q
ges'ed by the lay members of the Church them.

FELLow-C fTIzESs,--At meeting held at the
Washington Tavern on the 24th OF March, we
were nominated as candidates for seats in the
next Legislature of Virginia. The friends of
this measure may have severn reasons for wish
ing to run Democratic candidates. 1t is said by
some that it will serve TO keep the party together
by others, that as the Wings have several can
dldaes in the field, the Democrats can elect their
candidates. AS to the first reason we think there
is no cause to fear that the Democrats will for
sake those principles TO which they have stood,

been most near and dear to them. AS TO the Sec

OHIO CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION.

OElO CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION.
The Legislature Of Ohio, at its late session,
passed an act re-apportioning the representation
OF the State in Congress, SO as TO correct the
inequalities and forced arrangement of the Dis
'rcts, made by the Locofocos under the former
act, by which they secured to themselves fourteen
out of the twenty-one members, notwithstanding
the large popular majority in the State agains,
them.
Although the grievance under which the Wings
OF Ohio abored was certainly very serious one,
we doubt the wisdom or propriety of the new
apporlionment. If not against law, it is at least
contrary to past usage, and Of dangerous exam
pie. Once sanction the practice for any cause,
and we may have new arrangement of districts
every year, or as often as there may be change
OF parties in our Legislatures.
We regret the circumstance, therefore, not less
Tor the precedent 1t sets, than for the effect it NAV
have IN weakening the influence of the Whip
party In their efforts to maintain and preserve the
stability and Perpetuity Of our free institutions.
1t is Tar better, in opinion, to leave the wrongs
and abuses of Locofocoism to be seen and felt
In their practical workings than to resort to any
doubtful expedient for their correction
