THE WING CONVENTION.

The Baton Rouge Advocate lifts the curtain,
and gives us glimpse of the doings of the Wing
Conventon-as follows:
"After the nominations for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor were made, motion was offered
that Committee he appointed TO draft an address
to The citizens of Louisiana, setting forth the
Wing principles, which motion was strenuously
opposed on the ground that the Wing party had
been writing and talking themselves 10 death Az
ter most vOcferous discussion on the expeden-
cy of publishing such address, the motion was
lost. This motion, however, was after recess
of the Convention, renewed and carried.
"After the State Convention adjourned, after
its first sitting the delegates from the Third Con
gressional District, remained for the purpose of
nominating candidate for Congress. The Hon.
L. j. Cooley was nominated. when some objec-
tions were made. that Mr.. Cooley had been too
cool in the cause of whiggery. Eventually the
meeting adjourned, without making a nomination

MAGNETISM.

DE Bonneville is working wonders in Ports
mouth. The greatest one is the power he exer
cises over the sceptic, to make him give up his
disbelief. The best is the rema rkable cures he is
effecting among the sick and afflicted He is bu-
sy through the day in administering relief to the
multiudes that call upon him, and his name is in
every mouth. His afternoons are devoted to in
structng class, and his evenings are occupied
In giving public lectures to a mixed audience,
when to us, and those who attend, are pleasing
and instructive. His Lecture on the Tempera-
ments, on Monday evening, was highly satisfac-
tory, and his experiments convincing beyond the
power OF cavil The effects upon our own son.
In whom we know there is no deception, were
perfectly satisfactory; but the experiments with
young man, whose name we do not know that we
are at liberty TO mention, were astonishing. and
certainly beyond the bounds of implicit belief with
out being witnessed. This young gentlemen. who
is tee totaller, was, under the influence of De
Bonneville, made to exhibit all the phenomena of
drunkenness, from the first glass until he was
compelled TO follow him round the whole church,
reckless OF every thing, running against, over
turning, and sezing hold of benches, and every
thing in his way for support, as if in the last
stage of intoxicaton. We copy from the Du
buque Qowa) Transcript
I" One of the experiments of Mr.. De Bonnie

person Is put into magnetic state and then is
made TO manifest all the symptoms of drunken
ness. from the doubling hesitation previous 10 the

bowed. The Clerk having read the letter, Mr..

bowed The Clerk having read the letter. Mr.
Roebuck said
He was extremely sorry to be Obliged to adopt
the course which he then felt called upon to DUR
sue but it was, he said, a paramount duty which
he owed. not to himself, but TO the PRIVILEGES of
the House. and he felt compelled by that duty to
move, that William Patrick Somers. in having
sent challenge To member Of the House, for
words spoken in his place in Parliament, was
guilty OF contempt, and breach Of the privileges
CT the House."
MIR. Hume rose tn second the motion, hut gave
way to Lord Ashley, who expressed great salts
faction in seconding Mr. Roebuck's motion, and
rendered TO him his hearty thanks, to which he
said he believed he might add those of large
party IN the House, and also those of large por-
tion of his countrymen out of it.
"The public" said Lord Ashley, Z" have lonu
viewed with horror and disgust the prevalence of
the dictates of that miscalled law of honor. IF
this system were introduced into this House, and
into other deliberate assemblies, he could foresee
the time when liberty Of speech would be at an
end. and when members would meet, not under
the Influence and force of reason but of violence
and disorder. Therefore (Iord A. con,inued) in
seconding this motion, do tender to the honora :
BILE and learned member and in the name of manv
thousands of his countrymen, my most sincere
thanks for his manlv, his courageous and his con-
stitutona conduct"
Many parts of Lord AS address was en,husi-
asically cheered.
Mr.. SoIners then made the most ample and
complete apology, and offered to withdraw his
letter And it was finally arranged that the
House would proceed no further than to declare
that he had been guilty of a breech Of privilege
his apology being regarded a sufficient expia-

A RIFLEMAN.
THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

We received, yesterday morning, the July and
August number of this popular periodical. We
had almost given it up, as we stated yesterday,
but the fact that change had been made in the
time of publication, and also in the publisher, that
duty and responsibility devolving upon Mr. O'Sul-
livan, the founder and original editor and publish
er, accounts for the delay. The present number
Is remarkably rich and full, and contains 100
pages of matter, on every subject within the range
of politics, morals, literature and science There
is one thing in it which will be treasured by every
friend Of his country, the fac sinlle of Gen. Jack
sons last letter to Blair-we wish it had been
written to some more decent and honest man than
the that it is addressed to- but Blair, like the
dog, was kind TO the hand that fed him, and man
aged to hide his mental deformites from the
knowledge of his generous patron. The Review
will hereafter be published in six numbers, yearly,
at the extremely low price Of SO, per annum.
We hope it will receive that patronage il merits,
and that it will merit the patronage Of all The
next number will contain very beautiful likeness
of " Jackson IN his Last Days" We give place
TO the following letter Of Mr.. O'Sullivan to the
public, and we hope every reader will consider
it addressed to himself.

LEXINGTON. (KY.) August 4, IS45.
DEAR SIR: The elections commenced to- day,
and, it | am not much deceived, the democratic
party will achieve most glorious victory
Whigery is decidedly on the wane; and am con
fdent that Il. F. Marshall will be elected over
the Hon. G. Davis by handsome majority The
polls closed to-day Danver, Marshall 1888, Davis
4O7; in Georgetown, Scott county, Marshall 255,
Davis 239.
on beating us from 600 to 800 votes We have
two precincts, (both of which are whig, and Da-
vis's majority in the county, to- night, cannot be
more than one hundred and we now confidently
believe we cannot lose more than from two to two
hundred and fifty majority. In Scott, the demo-
cratic party calculate on getting $50 majority.
We have now no doubt it will 90 over 400, as
there are three precincts all largely democratic
none of the balance of the counties heard from.
Mr.. Clay took his stand in the court house
yard, TO give his countenance to his adherents,
but it would not do his iron hand had been too
long upon them, and many have broken their
chains, and renounced whigery for ever From
the signs of the times, | am inclined TO believe
that we will get eight of our Congressman out of
the ten, viz: French. Tibbatts Marshall, Nuttall,
in the Louisville district. Martin in Whites,
McCreve, in Green's, Stone, and Boyd. We
have good chance TO re- elect Caldwell and will
make close race in Orders. You will see we
in high spirits; and as the wings are like rats
deserving sinking ship, we are rising in energy.
