Wing n Nominations.

1t is expected that the Wing Congress
sional convention which is to meet al
Bloomington on tomorrow, will nominate
candidate for Auditor of State, in place
Mr.. Mobley, who, as we announced last
week, positively refuses to be sacrificed,
Rumor, however, says that the leaders OF
the federal party have already fixed upon
the man whom the convention will be re-
CURED to 60 through the form of nominal
ting. That man is no less than w. A
Warren, Of Jackson county,a radical whig
who, before the drawing of party lines ii,
Iowa, was sheriff of his county, but who
has ever since signally failed in his efforts
to be elected to the same office. We I'M
derstand that the chief reason for making
this nomination is, to attempt an inroad
upon :'old Jackson When the wings
carry that county for any of their nomi-
nees, we hope they will send us word.

Wound Up.

The Standard was wound up on Wed.
nesday last by Mr.. VIM. CRuM, its former
publisher, who removed the establishment
on writ of replevin. Its publication will
be suspended for the present; if resumed
at all, it will probably be by Mr. Crum
who owns the concern. Pending the re-
moyal Of the office, propositions for COM
promise were made by its late publisher
backed by Bowen and Coleman. But, as
Crum hates the 'Indiana Clique" even
more cordially than he does Iocofoco,
they were unavaiing.
AS for Messrs. MoRR1s and Foster.
"retired" editors, we can say of them that
they are both gentlemen whom we respect
as citizens. What we have objected to
in their editorial career is, the two main
things which concern their relations to the
public as political editors, viz; their prin-
ciples and the manners in which they have
seen fit to advocate them. The first OBJ
lection may be set down to the account of
errors OF the head; the latter we are forced
to regard as the errors of the heart.

Gen. Csass :, Federalist.

When wing editors wish to offer the
most vital stab at a prominent democrat,
they accuse him Of once having belonged
to their own crowd. This they hold up
as burning disgrace, which it certainly
is, and Away will be, if not repented Of.
This foul stigma they are now villainously
seeking to attach to the fair fame of Gen.
Cass. They hate the old hero because
both in the tented and diplomatic field, he
has foiled their old English ally, as well
as for his more recent hostility to their
young Mexican protegees. In proof Of the
utter falsity and groundlessness Of their
assertions, we proudly refer the reader to
the published sketch of Gen. Cass' life in
this and our previous number, and also to
the following extract from the Ohio
Statesman:
THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE ISLANDER,
The GAINESVILLE Courier, in speaking OF
the nomination of Gen. Cass rc-yamps the
exploded calumny that he was once fed
eralist. The Courier is probably not
aware, that Gen. Cass in early days lived
in Muskingham colnty-that by its De-
mocracy, he was elected to the first office
he ever filled, and that among the old ci-
tizens, Gen. Herrick, DR.. Hamm, DR..
Mitchell, John Cordrey, Of Dresden, and
others, whose Democracy is above and
beyond suspicion, the fact can clearly be
established that alone of all his family,
Lewis Cass has ever been true to Demo-
cratic principles, and at the very time the
federal press charge him with federalism,
he was the Democratic candidate for seat
in the Legislature. The Courier Editor
is new conner in central Ohio, and has
given currency to a falsehood, when he
might easily have learned the truth.

the Standard Bearer! ikeceivcd
with ACciamatiOn!

The National Convention, at about one
o'clock to-day, ii will be seen, nominated
General Lewis Cass, the Hero of the
West, the beloved ofthe democracy every
where, the statesman and patriot, as the
democratic candidate for President of the
United States. The nomination will be
hailed throughout the Union, as it is re-
ceived here, with reclamation by the peo-
pie, who will rally with all their hearts to
the support Of the legitimately nominated
candidate. Sound Oh every principle and
measure of the democracy, he will be ac-
ceptable, we are confident, to all; and we
cast his flag to the breeze with an enthu-
siasm felt ourselves, as we'll as excited by
that Of the masses here assembled.
When the nomination was announced,
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed through
out the assembly. The thunders of APP
plause shook the building, and continued
for several moments. Members o.! differ
ent delegations, who had adhered to their
tavorlte candidates, sprang to their feet
anxious to pledge their States to support
heartily and cheerGully the nominee OF the
convention.
Old Maryland was pledged to support,
with all her energy, the man who was the
first, in the warmth England, to cross the
Canadian line, and plant his feet upon the
soil Of Britain; and we are sure the pledge
| will be redeemed.

Our State Nominations.

Speaking Of our late convention: the

mission: "
"The convention was pretty well atten-

spirit and decorum. They have formed a
pretty strong ticket, but the wings will

This last, as our wing friends will re-
alize when the votes come to be counted,
is easier said than done. We cannot help,
however, giving our contemporary due
credit for candor, in warning the wings in
advance Of what they may expect, while
their less honest brethren of the press are
trying to put the best possible face upon
the matter, through their efforts to rouse
their party to action.

great unanimity.

PENA PENA, in his address to Con.

asked for, is less than could have been
expected; and if Mexico could have en-
tertained any hopes that the United States
would recede from its demands, he would
have acted otherwise. He regrets the
notifications of the original treaty, but
hopes it will be ratified as submitted. If
the treaty fails he does not expect, or COLI

BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.
WING 1gonr1NATIoNs.

That portion of the population of the
Union representing the lag ends of all po-
litical parties except the great Demo-
cratic Party Of the Union, have at last
nominated fitting candidat. for the Pres
idency. We learn by letter from Bloom
ington that the Wing National Convention
have actually nominated for the Presden-
cy the very man who declared in advance,
his total disregard for their deliberations,
by declaring in advance that he would be
candidate in spite ofthen,.
We have no time for further comment,
and introduce the letter of our corresp pom
dent at once:
BLooMIseToN, June l3, 1e4e.
Messrs. PALMER s. PAUL:
Gents.-News was received here to-
day of the nomination of Gen. Taylor, for
President, and Willard Fillmore, of New
York, for Vice President, by the Phila-
delphia Federal Convention.
This announcement has thrown the Claw
wings of this place, (of whom there are
not few, into spasms. They are per-
iectly thunderstruck, they had thought, and
indeed with good reason for it, that there
was no sincerity in the Taylor manifesta-
lions which they themselves and their fed
eral brethren were hypocrit;cally making.
That it was mere ruse for the purpose
OF catching green-horns of all factions.
But to their establishment, chagrin, and
modification, the very head, front, and
hero of the "God abhored .Mericon ,car,"
is unexpectedly saddled upon them. The
Gen. by declaring himself willing to take
nomination by either the Democratic or
Federal Convention, and by declaring HIM
self a candidate Independent of whig con-
vention-Clay or any body else-has al
ready most signally whipped the whole
wing party. He has completely frighten-
ed whiggery out of all its cherished sem
todiements" and "hasty SOUP visions land
now takes the field, alike destitute of prn-
ciples or qualifications for the high Office
for which the desperation of federalism
has been compelled to designate him, with
the vain hope Of grasping the spoils OF Of
flee under the false and base pretence of
rewarding one of the principal heros and
projectors of the abhored and abominable
war which they SO much detest.
But these nominations are, solar as the
success of the great principles of the de-
mocratic party are concerned, not to be
regretted. They are the very ones of all
others which the democracy should have
most desired. With the broad banner of
the glorious principles of our party
spread to the breese, with the names OF
CASS & BUTLER we have nothing to
fear. But let me admonish the democra-
cy of the State that eternal rigilonce is
the price Of Liberty; therefore let the DE-,
mocracy be up and doing. We have clio.
rious men, as well as infinitely more glo-
rious principles to contend for in the ap-
preaching contest. Yours,
HASTY SOUP.

WING Doctors Disagrceing.

We must confess that we felt no small
degree Of apprehension, before the meet.
ing Of the Baltimore Convention, lest oul
wing contemporaries of the press shoule
be dissatified with our nominations fol
President and Vice President. Recon
demonstrations from the ssdisaffected quar-.
ter" have confirmed our apprehensions
But although the whig press agree prett,
generally in being dissatisfied, they disa-
gree remarkably as to the alleged cause:
of their dissatisfaction of them be.
ing hufTed" because the democracy have
selected their sbest'' men as candidates
and some because, as they allege, the very
weakest" have been nominated. Fol
instance, in our own State, the two lead
ing organs Of the harmonious wing party
discourse as follows of the nominees:
We are inclined to believe that they
have presented the names Of two Of then
strongest men. Mr.. CAss is man o.
learning and political experience, and fol
upwards Of thirty years has borne a con.
spicuous part in the affairs Of the nation

The wings are well pleased with thi:
ECass selection- No man Of prominence
among our opponents could have beer
started with less likelihood Of success
Unlike Mr.. Polk, he is is too well known
The weak and vulnerable points of his
character are numerous, and cannot b.
successfully efended.-Hawkeye.
WM. 0. Butler, the Vice Presidential
candidate, is less talented, but much bet.
ter and more popular man. He was {
popular officer in Gen. Jackson's army
and after the close of the war he devoted
himself to the duties of his profession; anc
ever since, as lawyer and gentleman
has sustained a very fair character
Standard.
Gen. Butler, of Kentucky; is the To-
cofoco nominee for the Vice Presidency
His near neighbors speak of him as 9
proud ,aristocratic gentleman-better liked
abroad than at home.--Hawkeye.
Well, it is all over, and the nominations
cannot be changed to suit the wing press
now. One thing, however, we will say
to them in sober earnest. 1t is this: if the
wings are as well suited with their nomi-
nations as are the democracy with that Of
CAss and BUTLER, they may, possibly give
us chance for a tolerably fair fight.

Important fren, IAaysi Progress Of
the Civ I WI ar.
SOUP.

The schooner Isaac Franklin arrived at
Boston on Monday, in thirteen days from
Cape Haytien, brings some further and
authentic particulars of the outbreak ard
civil war at Port-an Prince where terrible
scenes have been enacted. 1t seems that
portion ofthe inhabitants (the mulattoes)
demonstrated with President Soloque,
against certain of his measures, when he
arrested eighty of their number and lad
them shot in cold blood. This atrocious
act aroused the slumhering, discomfort of
the friends ofthe murdered ones, who few
to arms. President Soloque collected his
troops and marched against them. He met
them on the way skirmish ensued, and
he was driven back to Portau-Prince.
1t is hard to trace the course of these trou-
bles. 1t is stated that Soloque has syste-
maticalIy excluded the yellows, (who,
though the minority, are the most intellI-
gent and substantial portion of the inhabi
tants,) from ali participation in the offices
of Government, and has replaced them by
blacks, who are ignorant and incapable
1t was probably upon the remonstrance Of
the yellows, against this prescription, that
their massacre was decided upon.
AT the latest accounts, all the influential
men of the yellows, in and about Port-au-
Prince, were either killed or in prison.
Whether these troubles will spread to all
parts of the Island, and bloody war Of
castles ensue, is Of course all conjecture.
The news from this quarter has already
been wrapped in mystery,'and the present
is no exception to the rule.
Letters received by the owners of the
Isaac, Franklin, Messis. B. Clarke s. Co.,
state that the terrible bloodshed at Port-au-
Prince struck horror to all minds. No
one could predict h.w it would end, but it
was thought that it might result in tho
deposition if not death of Soloque. II the
friends of those whom he has so cruelty
murdered should gain the ascendancy,
terrible retribution may be visited upon
him and his adherents.
Business had entirely ceased at Port
au- Prince.
The letters from the Island speak cautious
ly of the troubles there. In Cape Haytien
and other ports on the North part of the
Island all was quiet.
