Wing Harmony.

The Fillmore Wing Convention, holden al
Utica last week, adopted the State ticket NOM
mated at Syracuse. They also adopted what
they call National Wing resolutions.
Mr.. Hunt, the nominee for Governor, has
written a letter which pleases both sides. The
N. Y. Express (Fillmorel says "n is sound
throughout, national and Conservative = while
the Albany Advertiser (Seward) says that 1t IS
'Just phat the is demanded By the crisis, frank,
fearless and patriotic"
All this is exceedingly fine. The ~ Y.
wings are now fairly before the people, with
two sets of principles a Seward set to carry
the N. Y. State election, and with Fillmore
set, wherewithal to maintain their position at
Washington and their alliances with the south.
The election of Hunt to the office Of Governor,
will bring consolation to Seward, Weed and
their affiliated abolitionists at Albany; while
it will be hailed with rapture by Fillmore and
Webster at the White House. The wings are
lucky dogs, and so is Hunt. Happen what
may, their PRINCIPLES are sure to triumph

Fugitive Slave Excitement.

There was some slight commot0n in Bos-
Ton on Friday, IN consequence OF the issuing
of warrants for William Crafts and his wife,
fugitives from Macon, Georgia, claimed by a
person named Hughes, said 10 be jailor,
and acting as agent for the master of the
Crafts. The facts are as follows; Mr.. Hugh
es applied TO Judge Sprague on Thursday
for the warrants. and they were placed in
the hands OF Gen. Devens, U. S. marshal,
that night or early yesterday morning. 1t
was known TO Crafts and his friends that an
agent was here in pursuit Of him, and his
first determination was 10 resist seizure, and
for that purpose he armed himself, aud pio-
fessed TO wait for the officer aud agent, at
his residence in Cambridge street, where be
also has small shop in which he works at
cabinet making. In The course of the fore
noon however. his friends prevailed upon
him to retire to the house of one Hayden in
Southac street. Ia the forenoon. E. G. Lor-
ing and S. E. Sewell, retained by the vigil
lance committee rs general counsel for fugi-
tives, called upon Judge Sprague, at his
chambers, and interrogated him specifically
whether he had issued any warrants, and, If
so, against whom.
Judge Sprague declined giving any reply
other than 10 say, that he regarded such war
rants as standing upon the same ground as
all other warrants, and therefore he was not
at liberty to make any disclosures in relation
TO them before iEey had been served. He
also declined 10 answer whether he had, or
had mol. issued any warrants. AT one time
there was large crowd near the court house
and one white man made himself conspicu-
Gus al the corner of Franklin avenue and
Court street, by harranguing the assembly
and advising them 10 resist unto the death,
if any arrest should be made. No open
measures were taken towards serving the
warrants, and the excitement died away dur
ing the afternoon.

situation was discovered. There was no fire
near her, and it is not known how her clothes
took fire. The couple have both been in the

The Woman's Rights Contention, held at
Worcester, closed its labors Thursday after
noon. Among the resolutions passed was the
following -
Whercas,-The very contracted sphere of
action prescribed for women, arising from an
unjust view of her natural capacities and pow
ers, and from the Infringement of her just
rights an equal with man, is highly injuri-
GUS to her physical, mental and moral devel-
opement Therefore
Resolved, That we will not cease our en-
deavors to secure for her political, legal and
social equality with man until her proper
sphere is determined by what alone should de-
termine it, her powers and capacities strength
ened and refined by an education in accordance
with her nature.

Some people are 90 constituted, either by
nature or by habit, that physical labor, or, in
deed, labor of any sort. is to them the severest
punishment. We are acquainted with an indi-
vidual, who, although somewhat advanced in
years, is yet perfectly healthy and robust, who
hires his wood cut and split, notwithstanding
he warns but one room, and has nothing to
employ him, except the care of single COW,
and maltese cat.
In the vernal season be hires most of his out
door work done, while he sits in his porch
door, pouring over the late news, or listening
to the fulsome talk, and stale scandal that ed
dies like deluge around the village grocery.
Here he may be found almost every fair day,
from sunrise to late hour in the evening
from May to September, comfortably propped
against the door, or a neishboring post, and
only shifting his position when necessary to
avoid the suns rays, or free himself from the
inconvenience of the chips and shavings of
which, being one of the most industrious
"whittlers" in Yankeedom, he manufactures,
daily, a surprising pile"
fortunately for our hero, the village of
which he is an inhabitant, is one of the great
est places in the whole world, and resembles
one OF those deep eddies sometimes seen in q
mountain stream, which gathers to itself the
scum, and froth, and straws of the torrent,
while the more bulky and ponderous materials
II accumulates in its course are hurried past
with rush. In such life, there is little more
intellectual or moral dignity reflected, than in
the mere mechanical life Of a cauiAower, or a
cabbage. Nothingis produced, because moth
ing is attempted, and hour follows hour. and
day rolls after day. without any other rusults
than the waste of invaluable time, and the ST.
lent yet ceaseless approximation of its final
| close. All the exellencies of person of this
peculiar idiosyncrasy, are merely negative; he
is dead weight upon the wheels of society
an incubus which serves but to paralyze its
energies, and circumscribe its results.

BEFORE AND AFTER. If the wings come out
of the contest with fourteen members of con-
gress, we shall think they have done we'll.
That is what the New York Tribune said of
Pennsylvania before the election. The most

than fourteen
Now here is what the Boston Atlas said on
the 2Sd of Aug, of the then coming Maine
election:
"lf the wings Of Maine do their whole DUTY.
they can elect to the next congress, VIM. Pitt
Fessenden In the Cumberland district, Robert
Goodenow in the Kennebec district, Isaac
Reed in the Lincoln district, and ]. S. Pike in
the Hancock and Washington district. This
would give the wings four out of the seven
members. Alias, Aug, %, 1850.
Well, the wings elected one of the four
named above, coming THREE members short Of
their "duty," according to their State street
monitor.

Capt. Barras, of ship William, which left

18th, lat. 46 IA n, Ion. Sc p w., he saw a
large steamer steering to the northwest, and
the next evening saw first class steamer on
fire and burnt to the waters edge. He passed
within quarter of mile of the wreck, and
supposed all to have left in the boats. 1t was
about four days run from Halifax. There is a
mystery about it, for no steamship is missing
that we know of, or any large sail vessel tina,
could have been mistaken for steamship.
