i Messrs. EDI EoRsi- * saz5
Happened to be present atihe Lincoln Court,
Monday, the Both nlt., and witnessed the pro-
cesdings Of meeting Of the people of that coun.
ty, held to express their views on the subject Of
the "Wilmot Proviso." The meeting was re.
spectacle in point of numbers, and was compos.
ed of some of the most influential men of both
parties in the county. 1t will afford you plea
sure to learn that, from all the information that
could be obtained, there is no difference Of opin.
ion on this all-imporisnt and exciting subject be-
tween the parties in this county. The Wings,
|if any odds, were TIE most active and prominent
in the meeting. Major Huston, late Stale Reg
lister, was Chairman, and Gen'L Peers, Vice
President, and T. G. HUT, Secretary. Both Of
these latter gentlemen are known TO be decided
and influential Wings. John Snethen, Esq, was
chairman of the committee, and drafted the reso-
luiions. The committee was equally divided
four Wings and four Democrats-all Hards Of
that but one. The meeting was addressed by
Joseph B. Wells, of ST. Louis, and T. R. Cor
nick, of Lincoln, in spirited and forcible speech
es. The resolutions you will see in the St. LOU
is papers, and shall n,t therefore pretend to
give you their contents-suffice it 10 say, that
they endorse the resolutions Of the Legislature
out and out. : s
Whilst at Troy, had conversation with a
citizen Of Warren, who informed me that he had
not seena Wing or Democrat, in that county, thai
did not approve Of the action Of the Legislature
on this subject. And if the signs of the times
do not change, Messrs. Editors, your neighbor
of the Record will find himself in a very lean
minority with his own party, in his support of
"Wimot Proviso" doctrines.

SENATOR BENTON.s APPEAL.
To the People IF Missouri:

L WV ~"~S""o"fe'
The General Assembly of our State, a
its late session, adopted certain resolution
on the subject Of slavery, and gave me in
structions 10 obey them. From this com
mand Iappeal to the people of Missouri
the whole body of the people and if the,
confirm the instructions, ! shall give then
an opportunity to find Senator to carr,
their will into effect. as I cannnt dn An,
thing to dissolve this Union, or to array one
half Of it against the other.
! do not admit dissolution of the Union
to be remedy, to be prescribed by states.
men, for the diseases Of the body polite
any more than ! admit death, or suicide, to
be remedy, TO be prescribed by physi.
clans for the diseases of the natural body
Cure, and not kill, is the only remedy which
my mind can contemplate in either case.
| think it probable, from what observe,
that there are many citizens-good friends
to the harmony and stability of this Union
who do not see the Missouri instructions
and their prototype, the Calhoun address,
in the same light that ] see it, and in the
light in which it is seen by others who best
understand it. For the information Of such
citizens, and to let them see the next step
in this movement, and where it is intended
to end, herewith subjoin copy of the Ac-
comac resolutions, lately adopted in that
county of Virginia, and fully endorsed BY
the Richmond Enquirer, as the voice of the
South. / do not produce these resolutions
for the purpose of srraigning them, on the
contrary | see something in them to admire,
as being bold and open, end to the true in
depreciation and Legitimate sequence Of the
Calhoun movement. I consider the Cal
houn address, and its offspring, the Missouri
Instructions, as fundamentally wrong; but
to those who think them right, the Accomac
resolutions are also right and should be i'm.
initiated by similar resolutions
in Missouri. produce them to enable the
people of Missouri to see what it is to|
which their Legislature would commit the
State, and what it is they have instructed
me to do.
Iappeal from these instructions to tile
people Of Missouri-the whole body of the
people-and in due time will give my rea-
sons for doing so. It is question above
party, and goes to the whole people. IDI
hat point Of view the Accomac resolutlonsl
present. .it-and present it truly; and shall
10 the sane. shall abide the decision Of
lie whole people, and nothing less.
Respectfully,

meeting held in Accomac county Vir-

The VIRGIEIA ELEcrIoN.-Suficient re
turns from the Virginia election have beel
received to show the election of the follow
ing members Of Congress:
Democrats-Thomas H. Bayly, John s
Millson,i James A. Seldom, R. R. Meade
Alexander R. Holiday, James Mcdowell
Thomas S. Bocock, Thomas II. Averett
Richard Parker, Henry A. Edmundson
Paulus Powell, and Alexander Newman

Whigs-Jermiah MoTton--l.
The Kanawha and the Abingdon district.
are to hear from. In the latter there is nc
whig candidate, ard the former is strong
democratic district. The probability is,
therefore, that the delegation will stand
fourteen democrats to one whig--being a
wing loss Of FIVE members, the last delega.
tion having stood nine democrats to six
wings.
The wings have, however gained strength
in the Legislature, as will be seen by tie
following:
Wing gains--Norfolk city l, Princess
Anne l, Gochland !, Stafford l, Frederick
l, Morgan l, Rockbridge l, Marshall /,
Henry l-9.
Democratic gains-Fairfax l, Berkley !,
Nottaway /, Fauquirer l, Taylor l-5.
The wings have also gained Senator in
Stafford county. The Democrats had sbir-
teen majority in the last House Of Delegates.
