The Wing State Convention assembled here
to-day and temporarily organized by electing
Samuel Bell, of Berks county, President, and
3. w. Pearson, of Somerset, and A. s. Hender-
son, of Lancaster Secretaries. The attendance
of delegates is full, and the crowd about the
courthouse immense. Gov. Johnston and other
distinguished Wings are present The conyen-
ton, after settling the question of contested
seats, appointed a committee to report officers
for their permanent organization. 1t is sup
posed General Scott will be nominated for the
Presidency by large majority, and that reso-
lutions approving of the Compromise will be
voted down.
JUNE "a, p. m.-The Wing Convention reas-
sembled at two o'clock. The committee APP
pointed to report officers reported for President,
Hon. John H. Irving, of Washington county,
with twenty-six Vice Presidents, and seven
secretaries. The President, on taking his seat,
made brief speech eulogistc of Gov. Johnston,
and in favor Of high tariff. The Hon. Corne-
Illus Darragh moved the appointment of com

was agreed to. While the committee was absent,
on motion Of Hon. A. J. Ogle, VIM. F. Johnston
was nominated as the Wing candidate for Gov

demning that of 1916, speaking respectfully ofthe
compromise measures, and declaring themselves
in favor of the maintenance of the Constitu-

offered an amendment, recognising the right Of
owners of slaves to reclaim their property, and
by implication condemning the act of l847,
which prohibits the use of our jails for their
detention.
A lengthy debate arose, and the amendment
was finally cut off by the previous question,
which was sustained by vote of II to AZ, and
the resolutions were adopted by vote of SO

The APPROACHING ELECTIONS in MARYLANI
Our fellow-citizens of this old and honore
State are, under their new constitution, t
assume new and increased responsibilities
They are to exercise functions that have beer
seldom retained by the people, to whom they
legitimately belong, and to elevate from tn,
common walks Of life the men who are to en-
act, interpret, and administer the laws unde,
which they are to live. How important is il
should be silenced, and that this duty should
be discharged in the most calm, earnest, and
conscientious manner! That a feeling of this
responsibility is realized, and that Maryland
win do honor to the cause of popular suffrage
Of which she has SO nobly become champion,
we fondly trust. We look to her for practical
vindication of this cause, and practical re-
Duke of those who have doubted the ability of
her sons to exercise the important privileges
they have declared to belong to them. May
they know that the eyes Of their countrymen
Of every State are upon them, and that the
action of the people of other States may be de-
termined by the success with which they shall
guide the affairs Of their Commonwealth. If
law, order, and justice shall reign supreme
within her dominions, and a guarantee of per-
manency and security be thus given, the anti
quated bonds of other members of our National
Union win be soon loosed, and the cause of
true republicanism will prosper
In allusion to this subject the Baltimore Sun
has some sound, sensible and patriotic remarks,
from which we quote the following practical re-
Communications. Let them be perused and well
considered by every one who enjoys the proud
distinction of AN ELEoToR in that State:
"Of the various offices for which the people
are to select incumbents from among their fell
low-citizens at the ensuing fall elections, there
Is none but those of legislative character in
which party claims should be suffered to have
any weight, aside from high qualifications. The
people owe il TO themselves, their own safety,
the impartial administration of law, and the Of
fcient discharge Of duty in every department o
official service to select the men best adapted
for the Offices for which they are named.
they suffer themselves to be governed by mer
party feeling, they must expect an exhibition o
partially at the hands of their public servants
and thus, they will actually minister to pro
pensity, the curse Of which viii assuredly attic
themselves. IL Judge is to be elected by party
Ia he not to infer party expectation of favor i
the administration Of justice? And If he coul
deal partially as between litigants of opposin
political sentiments, what safeguard has an
man that he viii not in like manner deal part
ally between two individuals of the same part
according to their relative personal influence
The same inquiry presses itself home to ever
man with respect to all the minor offices
which candidates are to be elected and tb
people will discern therein the necessity of ac
ing from higher considerations than those ,
mere party"

A NAVY YARD DEsEnTKD.--lt Is stated that
there was much excitement at Portsmouth, Va,
on Monday, in consequence Of all the mechanics
and workmen at the navy yard quitting work.
The cause of the strike was an order issued by
Com Stringham to close the gate OF the yard
and prevent the entrance Of any Of the work
men until the bell rang, thereby making it i'm
possible for all to reach the rolofice in time to
answer to their names. The men immediately
held a meeting and appointed \ committee to
wait on President Fillmore at Old Point, to re-
present the affair to him, and urge the removal
of some of the officers attached to the station.
The committee previously waited on Com. String
ham, who refused to rescind the order.
We can speak from certain knowledge of the
character Of the men employed at this establish
ment They are good workmen, orderly and
honest men, and good citizens. There has
almost uniformly existed between them and the
officers in command bond of goodwill and
mutual kindness. We know nothing Of the
grounds of the present dispute except what is
here stated upon the authority of our exchange
papers; but we feel confident that insubordi-
nation could never arise but from the most ur-
gent necessity; and we sincerely hope that if
measures unnecessarily stringent have been
adopted with reference to them, they may be at
once relaxed, and an amicable understanding
produced.
