WING STATE CONVENTION.

VIII 01 "A SOAN LII
We have not heretofore noticed the sug-
g%estiou OF the State Journal for holding a
State Convention at indianapolis, on the 9th
OF January next. We were merely waiting
to see what our brethren of the North had TO
say, being ourseIf always ready 10 make
any slight sacrifice ofopiniop in such matters
to insure harmony in the party. They have
very generally spoken in favor of the sugges-
ton. and we are content.
The following extracts from an article in
the last Wabash Express upon this subject,
meet our views exactly, and we adopt them
as our own, with the exception that we have
no preferences-any of the gentlemen
mentioned will satisfy US. They are all good
and true Wings and shall have out hearty
support and we hope and belive the support
of our party in this section if nominated.
"The wings must be well organized and
90 into the coming contest as one man, dis
carding minor and personal considerations
and giving their ticket the heartiest support,
# they wish victory TO perch again upon their
standard. 1t IS too true, that we were beaten
before, but the majority against US is not so
great as to sink the heart, or palsy the exer-
lion of even one good wing, it may be over
come, t%riumphanllv overcome by using the
proper vigilance and those means without
which, nothing of any magnitude can be ac-
complished.
ave should form no ~entangling alliances
or make any pledges before we fully know
how they might operate for or against the
common cause, the cause of wing principles
and the prosperity and future well-being OF
the State. In connection with the canvass.
we have seen the following ma mes mentioned
by the different papers of the State, any OF
whom perhaps, would elicit the strength of
the wing party, among whom however, we
do not find the name that we would prefer
as our standard bearer next summer. The
names we have noticed are these. o. H.
SMITH, S. BIGGER, S C. SAMPLE, S. w.
PARKER, J. I. ELLIOTT, and j. H. THoMp-
SON. We profess however, not to be one OF
the ''impracticables," and the choice of the
party with which we act, would meet our de-
clded support. Upon this subject, we like
the spirit Of the "Palladium'' and we adopl
his language"
1--WE have, however, no personal prefer
ences, aside from the union of the party, and
will give our hearty. support to the nomina-
lion which may be made"
"Let the Convention bring forward the
best and strongest men OF the State; we will
lay aside all feelings except that for their sue.
cess, and whatever we may be able TO do in
the contest, shall be in support of the ticke,
hat may be presented for the suffrages o
The wings. We are of the school of jim
my Jones; and the motif of eight on-fghr
ever" should be adopted by every wing OF
The Union. Reverses should whet the en-
ergies of The defeated, until they in time
should wrest the country from the abys:
that seems ready TO swallow it.

OHIO ELECTIONS.

THE E

The arrival o fihis vessel has created quite
a stir among the eastern spectators in bread
sluffs, which will prove ofbeneit is the west
ern farmers. She brings a full confirmation Of
the news of shoit crops, brought by previous
arrivals--and there is nc longer any doubt
that there will be a great scarcity Of bread
siuffs, not only throughout the United King
dom, but on the Continent. Prices have ad-
vanced are 81 expected to advance still more,
and the British press is urgent in its appeals to
government for reliefto the peoplein the shape
ola reduction of duties. Unless large guam
titles of bread-stuffs are brought in from a.
broad, the suffering of the poorer classes, es-
p~ecially, will be great. Hopes are express
ed that Parliament will at once abolish, for
the time, the duty on Indian Corn, and thus
open the door for an influx from the United
States.
The news by this arrival set spectators
all agog in the east, and runners were on the
instant, sent West to buy up all the grain they
could, before the intelligence should have
time to travel per mail.
The New York Express of Wedne sday,
says--"As soon as the news be the steamer
lrauspired, there was a good deal of excite
ment in the market. The Flour and Grain
dealers were very active.--Flour advanced
nearly so cents per bril-, and nearly 5000
brls. were taken, mostly for export--Wheat
went up 9 cents, and corn was held at an ad-
vance.
The Commercial Advertiser says--"The
news is favorable for the export of bread -stuffs
from this country. The failure of the pota-
ioe crop is even more general than we ex-
pected; there will be a serious deficiency in
wheat, and fears are entertained that there
will be a falling off in barley, oats, beans and
peas. No supplies will arrive from Cont
mental ports, for the same state Of affairs ex-
lists there. Among the measures OF relief
recommended by the English papers, the
Manchester Guaidian suggests to the con-
sideraiion of parliament, wheni il re- assembles
the entire remission ofall duty on the Impor-
talion of Indian Corn"
Letters from Poland represent that there
has been great suffering in the ancient pala-
tinates of Sandumir, Flock, Lublin, Angus
tow, as well as in the palatinate of CracovIa.
Famine, and all the evils in its train, had
been felt. In those unfortunate provinces,
entite masses of people, deprived of every
necessary, wander about the country divided
into bands, in search of the most loathsome
food, which is oftner the most adopted 10
soolhe their hunger than TO afford punishment.
Numberless diseases. the unavoidable conse-
quences of destiiulion, rapidly diminish the
number of these unfortunate men, and some
times drives them TO acts of violence which
the authorities are not always able to re-
press.

@The propriety. indeed the necessity, of
holding a public meeting in this county with
reference 10 The interests OF our Canal, is
exciting the attention of our citizens. The

called on US this past week who also favor

HARDY CARROLL.

We learn that a: the late term of Franklin
Superior Court for Franklin county, Har-,
dy Carroll was sentenced to execution,
under the decision of the Supreme Court;
and that he will pay the forfeit for his
crimes on the second day of next month;
His appearance, when broughs into the
Courthouse to receive his sentence, is said
to have been piliabe in the extreme. Havi
ing escaped from Lonisburg Jail twice. it
was found indispensable 10 chain him down
to the floor by the legs and arms, and in
consequence his hair and beard had grown
to an enormous length, and he had wasted
away almost 10 a skeleton. Hardy is a
free man of color. and his life and death
will be a warning TO many of his class.
For years he had committed crimes, and
laughed at the law, for neither walls nor
bolts could Withstand him. But his ca-
reer is doubtless now over. Chained
down as he now is, there is no chance for
his escape.
AT one time in Louisburg Jail, whilst
chained by The foot, lie con.rlved TO get
hold of piece of plate, and with this he
severed his manacles, by slow and te-
dious process of filing. He then took off
all his clothes. and with some meat, which
had been brought him for his dinner. greas-
ed himself from head 10 foot; and when
the JaiIer came in as usual, he slipped
through his hands like an eel, made ont of
the prison, and plunged into Tar River.

Where we were school boys in old time,
When manhood was q dream;

The pond is dried away.

The dear old place to-day.

Beneath our locust trees,
The wild rose by the window side
No more waves in the breeze;

Since you and were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead. John,
And what is sadder now

Hangs on the withered bough;
Tread our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As we had piled them there.
