Virginia Wings.

We thought that the acquiesence of The Geor-
pia Convention in the compromise, although re-
luctant, qualified, condemnatory, and accompa-
MED with threat of disruption the next time,
was humiliating enough. But the Wings of
Virginia have taken step backwards--a step
lower. The convention of that party, which
met on Friday last, adopted, among others, the
following resolution unanimously.
8. Resolved, That the acts of Congress, known
as the compromise measures, are regarded and
approved by the Wings of Virginia as final
settlement Of the slavery question; and they
will look. upon any attempt to disturb those
measures of peace, rs blow aimed at the integ-
rity of the Union. 90
After that, which is the lowest submission
resolution any part ofthe South has yet adopted,
tho following may be regarded as The highest
IN the scale Of the ridiculous:
Re solped, That whilst the Wings of Virginia
condemn as unwise and unjuslifiable the hostility
manifested by a portion Of the Southern people,
not only TO the compromise, but TO the Union IL.
self, we declare our firm determination 10 uphold
the honor and interests Of the South. We value
the Union and the federal Constitution as the
surest and strongest safeguards of the liberty
and the happiness Of the American people, but
we warn our brethren Of the North-Whigs
and Democrats-that these can only be preserv-
ed by a faithful observance Of the obligations
they impose; and by cherishing anew those
sentiments of fraternal regard which have here
tofore held US together as united and happy
people.

HARRISBURG, (PA.) Sept. 2s.-One Of the
mos, important fugitive slave cases that has yet
turned up in Pennsyl vania, has been disposed OF
here, in the most summary manner.
-Four alleged fugitive slaves, named John
Stoucher, John Bell, Edward Michael, apd Fen
ton Mercer, charged, on oath Of Michael Lentz,
on suspicion Of having been participants m the
fugitive slave riot mt Cnrisiana, were arrested or
Friday nj Fishersyile, in Dauphin county, aud
brought 10 Harrisburg and con mitted To prison
Mr.. McAlister, the u. s. Commissioner, and
James Fox, the district attorney, admitted the
iIlepality Of the commitment, and Immediately
after the discharge Of the prisoners Commission.
or McAllister POINTED TO them and declared
them in charge Of his officers, ms fugitive slaves
The u. q. officers then hand-cufied them in
open court. and conveyed them 10 the Commits.
pioner's Office, where an examination was held
wi h closed doors.
Several reputable citizens who were present
during the proceedings, declared In open court
that the manscling Of prisoners under such CIR.
,umstances was On outrage, and Judge Pearson
expressed his willingness to arrest the u. -
officers for contempt Of court IL the charge was
brought against them.
They were yesterday brought before Judge
Pearson. on a writ Of habeas corpus, when II
wa. found that there was not the slightest tes-
timony 10 connect them with the Cnristiana
outrage, or that they were in that vicinity at
the time. The Judge decided the magistrate,
who committed the defendants, guilty Of the
most gross deriliction Of duty in issuing
commitment without evidence Of supposed
guilt, and thereupon ordered them all to be dis
charged.
Il appears that the charge connecting the pris-
opers with the Christiana outrage was mere
pretext 10 get them committed 10 the county
Jail, In order TO obtain time 10 telegraph their
alleged owner.
The examination resulted in their being
handed over to their owners. Very deep feel.
ing was engendered in the community, but no
violation Of the law occurred.

We are surprised that so able journal as the
Louisiana Courier should entertain the project
Of creating vast association to enhance or
maintain the price Of cotton. The plan j., to
form company, with twenty millions capital
to receive all the cotton produced in the United
States, and sell it-and to guarantee the owner
eleven cents pound and, in order to do that,
to withhold supplies from market when the price
falls below that minimum. The project is ut
tery visionary and impracticable. the attempt
would break any such company, if it could be
formed, and would ultimately injure the price OF
cotton, instead of advancing it.
. The production Of cotton is like that of every
thing else. It's, or will be, limited by the COM
pensaton pays for the capital and skill invested
And no device hes ever yet been found to Sc
cure definite profit to any business. It would
be as wise to attempt to regulate the seasons
and to insure against the army worm, rainy
weather, and early frosts.
There is prevalent, but mistaken notion,
that the price of cotton is regulated in England
by the bank, or by manufactures, or specula-
tors The thi 6 is impossible. The price is
regulated by the demand for the manufactured
fabric, all over the world. And such is the ex,
tent of that demand, and of the fluctuations
which result from the vicissitudes Of nations
that the price of cotton is the very thing that no
power can regulate.
Such is the extent, utility and necessity Of cot
ton clothing, that the increased demand for cot.
ton is almost the measure of the natural increase
and progressive civilization of the world. And
neither is quite so rapid as the natural increase
of slaves. As for cotton lands, they are YET
sufficiently abundant to warrant supply OF cot
ton, equal to the probable continuance of mod
ern civilization.
