The wh,x National convention.

Large numbers of delegates TO the Wing con
yention have been in Washington for the last
few days. And the actual condition OF the
party is now as well understood as 1t can be
after the nomination. Ii is sectionally divided.
All the Northern members, except about twenty
are opposed to the ratification of the Compro
mise. All the Southern members except about
twenty are in favor of it. If the Northern mem
bers are national, then there is only a score OF
Southern members that have the odor OF ma
tionality about them--and contraTiwise.
Now, although this is the actual and the no
torious condition of the party, each secuoh OF
faction asserts its own nationality, ana de-
nounces the other as sectionasts and disor-
ganizers.
The main body of the Southern Viii 70 pro
nose to nationaze themselves and the whole
party by that remarkably acute and ludicrous
expedient of the South, a SET Of resolutions. The
Northern Wings, knowing that resolutions are
pure Southern idea, object to it,
Now, to us it is perfectly immaterial whether
the convention adopts resolutions or not. We
know the party is sectionaly dyided-and re-
solutions can neither change the fact, nor put
down the truth Of course the great body of
the Southern Wings will back out. That is the
customary movement of the South especially
after having talked particularly big
For the rest we hardly know which would be
the most respectable, to back out or to persist.
For all the Southern Wings ask is that set Of
measures that disgraced and dismembered the
South, should be endorsed! The North has
succeeded in throwing the South into that posi-
tion--the position of defending aggressions on
herself Well, the Southern Wings are reap
ing the consequences of their own disgraceiui
desertion of the position of l848-49. We
didn't think the retrbution would be so speedy
but this is a. fast age. And the Wings are
not the only people destined to realize it.

Remarking on this convention the Milledge
vile Recorder says:
We have only time before going to press to
say that the convention, the official account Of
which we publish below, concentrated ample
evidence, to convince even the worst informed
upon the subject, that represented in truth and
in fact the decided public feeling of a large
majority of the Union Constitutional party Of
the State. But one feeling actuated the couven-
ton. We are confident in the belief, that the
convention speaks out the feelings of the ma.
jority of the people of Georgia, and time will
prove it,

AN INCIDENT WITH A MoRAL.-Fol
some weeks past (says the N. I
Express) a long Indian tent has beer
standing on the western slope Of Fo,
Hill, Hoboken, the inmates Of which
were an old Indian, his squaw. and ;
son. They are wanderers we be.
lieye from some Canadian tribe, anC
came TO that neighborhood about two
months ago. On Sunday last, the
chief Of the wigwam, who had beer
ailing for some time past, was gath
cred to the land of his Fathers. A
few days previously the squaw had
set out for the State OF Maine, 10
bring two children she has on the
frontier to the tent, TO see the old
man before tie Great Spirit called
him home, but her errand. alasl il
turned out, was undertaken too late.
The scene at the tent, as soon as it
was known the Indian was dead, was
curious and affecting. The son sat
muteIy and moodily on the ground,
with his arms folded, and his dark
piercing eye sorrowfully fixed upon
the corpse OF his dead sire. Ii seemed
strange TO him that they should put
the body into a coffin, instead Of IN
terring it after the manner Of his
own people.
As soon as the coffin was carried
away by the undertaken, the tent
was rulhlessly rahed OF most Of its
contents, beads, baskets, AID other
trinkets the Indians had been making
for livelihood, bv some pale faced
vagabonds in the vicinity, spite ol
the remonstrances of some kind
hearted women, who, with those
tender and humane impulses native
TO the sex, had al! along been atten-
tive to the wants of the dying
stranger. The tent itself was car
ried away even, leaving the survi-
ying Indian to make his bed on the
cold damp earth, with only the sky
above for a covering. And there he
was sitting last night waiting, in
silent sorrow, the return Of his
absent relative from her pilgrimage
to the East. 1t was a sad suggestive
incident, the death OF the lone Indi-
an on the hill. His epitaph is the
epitaph Of a race in this region of
this country, once their own.
"Alas, for them their day is Ger,
Their fires are out from shore to shore;
No more for them their wild deer bounds-
The plough is now their hunting grounds.
The pale mans axe rings through their woods,
THE pale mans sails skim DER their foods,
Their pleasant springs are dry;
Their children, look, by power oppressed,
Beyond the mountains of the West,
Their children go, to die!r

TNHERE are, in this age of invention
and progress, various developments
ofa medicinal nature. as well as in 9TH

qusitive genius of our countrymen,
some of which are a real blessing TO the
world, and some the opposite. Among
the former class, we regard
"LITTLE'S WHITE OIL"
as occupying a place pre-eminently
high. Ii claims to be remedy for the
various injuries and diseases, TO which
horse "flesh is heir" such as sore back,
scratches, sore shoulders, sprains, fstu-

stiffness and sand cracks, grease and
mango, bites Of animals and insects,
whitloes, contractions of the muscles,
&c. &C., in all which cases, its claims
as a curative, are now beyond question.
But its merits as curative-we assert
what we know, and what others testify
to-are not confined to the equine race.
Il is equally, if not more efficacious, in
diseases of kindred character, with
which man is afflicted, such as boils,
