ohlo WING state Convention.

The resolutions passed by this body at its recent
| session are as follows:
= ResolUed, That the resolutions Of the Wing con-
yentions of A. ID. lS4S and A. D. 1850 declare the
position Of the Wings of Ohio State and Nation
al policy; that protection TO American industry,
sound currency, the improvement Of rivers and
harbors, an 1nyielding opposition TO all encroach-
ments by the executive power, and paramount
regard TO the Constitution and the Union, are
now, as ever, the cardinal principles Of the Wing
party.
RssOlued, That, as National party, the Whig
party is now; and always has been, in favor of a
cordial and hearty support of the Constitution Of
the United States; that regard all its provisions
equally binding; and we feel ourselves ready and
willing to carry them out fully and faithfully.
Res0lved, That the National Administration,
der the guidance of our Wing President Millard
Fillmore, has the unbounded confidence Of the
Wings OF Ohloj that in our domestic policy its
manly advocacy OF protection to native industry,
the improvement of rivers and harbors, the reduc-
tion OF postage, and the strict accountability and
economy of public officers its energetic, republi-
can, truthful, and dignihed management Of our
foreign affairs, have secured for it the gratitude of
this, and the respect of other nations.
ResoLued That as the Compromise measures
were not recommended by Wing administra-
tion, and were not passed as party measures by
Congress, perfect liberation of opinion respecting
those measures should be accordedto Wings every
where.
Resolued That it is the desire of the Wings of
Ohio that General Winfield Scott should be the
candidate OF the Whig party for President of the
United States at the election of A. ID. 1852; and
cordially recommend him to the Wings of the
Union as the most deserving and suitable candidate
for that office
RssolDsd, That while we express our preference,
the Wings of Ohio will cheerfully support the
nominee of National Whig Convention; and that
for the purpose of ascertaining the choice of the
Wings of the Union, we recommend that such
convention will be held at Cincinnati, at such time
as may be agreed upon.

PIRACY ON THE COAST OF SUMATRA-The Salem
lMass) Gazette publishes official report from
Captain Benjamin Balch, jr., of the Ariosto, and
Captain Charles ii. Rhoades, of the Borneo rela-
tive to the capture of the Scilian barque Clemen
tina, and the murder of the captain and portion
of the crew, by the Malays at Diah on the west
coast of Sumatra. 1t does not differ materially
from the account of the transaction already pub
lished postscript to the letter mentions that on
the I'd of April, punishment of the marauders,
their place of residence, Diah, attacked by the
Rajah of Teoocroot, and the greater part OF the
town laid in ashes but neither the money taken
from the vessel, the actors in this piratical
transaction, were detected.
After the recapture of the Clementina, throu oh
the exertions of Captains Rhoades and Balch. she
was despatched to Bourbon, under the charge of
an officer furnished by Captain LIE Roy, of the
French ship Nantes, there to be delivered up TO the
proper authorities
The following notice of the praiseworthy con-
duct of these two captains in this affair ia copied
from Penang Gazette, received by the Arctic's
mail
'The bold and manly conduct of these Ameri-
can captains during moment of peculiar peril
and difficulty, and when the hazardous state of the
Acheen coast is considered, infested as they always
are by numerous hordes of banditti and pirates
who are ever ready, with the kriss to take advan-
tage of every favorable opportunity that may pre-
sent itself to satisfy their cravings for robbery and
pillage, deserves the highest encomiums. II will
be source Of unbounded qualification for us to
hear that the courageous and praiseworthy be-
havior displayed by them on that trying occasion
resulting in the complete recapture of the vessel
Will not only be duly appreciated by the owners of
the unfortunate Clementina, but will not be per-
mitted to pass unrewarded by the insurance efices
generally"
