THE ABOLITION EXCITEMENT IN GRAY
son COUNTY, Wa Court Dispersed By
a Mob.-We mentioned a few days ago, says
the New Orleans Picayune, that much ex-
element existed in Grayson county, Va,
against certain parties suspected of being
Abolitionists, and that Judge Brown was
unable to hold the County Court, in conse-
quence of the resignation of the clerk, and
his inability to secure another 1t now ap-
pears that the court was dissolved by mob
violence, the particulars of which are thus
detailed in aletter from Carroll county to the
Lynchburg Virginian:
CATER the execution of the negroes in
that county, some time ago, who had been
excited to rebellion by certain Methodist
preacher by the name of Bacon, Of which
you have heard, the citizens held meeting,
and instituted sort of inquisition, to find
out, if. possible, who were the accomplices Of
said Bacon. Suspicion rested on a man
named Cornut, and upon being charged with
being an accomplice, he acknowledged the
fact, and declared his intention of perseyer
ing in the cause, upon which he was servere
/ ly lynched. Cornut then instituted a sui
against the parties, who afterwards held :
meeting and passed resolutions, notifying the
court and lawyers not to undertake the case
upon pain of coat Of tar and feathers. The
court, however, convened at the appointed
time, and, true to their promise, band O
armed men marched around the courthouse
fred their guns by platoons, and dispersed
the court in confusion. There was no bloot
shed. This county and the county of Myth
have held meetings and passed resolution

The Wing State Convention.

This body assembled in the Hall Of the
House of Representatives on the 3rd inst
Seventy odd delegates from seventeen coun-
ties comprised the Convention. Gen. A. B.
Bradford, of Marshall was elected Presiding
Officer, assisted By some half dozen Vice
Presidents and Messrs. R. K. Arthur and
j. G.. Morey were chosen Secretaries. The
Convention expressed its preference for Mil
lard Fillmore and J. j. Crittenden for Presi.
dent and Vice President. A series of reso-
buttons, embOdying the commonplace cant
about the Union party, the Compromise, de-
clarative also Of the foreign and domestic
policy of the Wing party, was adopted also,
resolutions complimentary to Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster. We shall publish the
proceedings in full next week; but, limited
as Is our space, we must present the 9th
resolution to show that the Wings have beer
embroidered to push forward the old party
issues, which they have been in constan
habit of asserting of late years had become
obsolete. Behold, once more, the clover
foot of Whiggery in Mississippi:
"9. That whilst we are opposed to a
tariff, to excessive duties, and, as to interna
Improvements, to lavish appropriations-w,
are content, by judicious arrangement Of
duties necessary for an economical admins
tration of the Government, to encourage our
domestic industry, and to provide, in time o
peace, such improvements of our harbors anC
principal rivers, as may be necessary to as
sure our strength within and secure ou
safety without"
Here we have plain and unequivoca
avowal of the policy of Protective TART
and of Internal Improvements by the Gov
eminent. The full endorsation of the pres
ent Administration and the denomination O
| its head and front would of itself afford am
pie proof of the adhesion of the Wings t
their oft-condemned heresies; but this rcso
luton places the matter beyond all ques
ton. Nississippian.

The Republic Of this morning publishes
the address Of portion Of the Southern
Wing members Of Congress, to the Wings
of the United States. It is long and able
document, and will command general inter
est and attention. The Republic, in intro
ducing the address observes, that they have
Intentionally abstained from all comment on
the course of the minority or the majority
in the recent Congressional Caucus, but be-
lievcs that both will at some time, be eua-
bled so far to harmonic conflicting opinions
as to act together in common cause.
The address argues that the intention of
the recent Wing caucus vas to commit all
who participated in that meeting to the sup
port Of the nominee of the Wing Conven-
ton, whether he shall be pledged to support
the Compromise or not and some of them
being bound by public declaration, made in
1850, to support no man for Office unless he
is known, unequivocally and beyond contrO-
versy, to be determined to maintain, support
and execute the laws known as the compro-
mise laws-Fugitive Slave Law and all-they
promise, religiously to redeem that promise
The address is signed by eleven Members
and Senators, representing, in part, seven Of
the Southern States.
The Republic expresses the hope that, Al
some time, matters will be reconeiled. Tha
is rather indefinite; and it may, a: some
time, occur, as the editors desire, hut if they
refer to the approaching Presidential cleo
ton, they will be sadly disappointed if they
expect it. Indications were given some tim
ago, that the aid of Southern Wings wa
but little desired or relied on in the approach
ing canvass, and it is now certain that tn
great body of Southern Wings will be al
rayed against the Wing candidate. Scot
} will evidently be the man. He is led an
controlled by Seward, Greeley, johnson
Co., and they have determined that he shal
make no disclosures for the public eye
The fact is, the Wing party is irretrievabl
divided. A house arrayed against itsel
cannot stand. The rule-or, rather, mis-
rule of the Wing dynasty is fast approach
ing its end 1t is to be hoped that til
country will never be burthened with its lik
again. OBSERVER.

COMPLIMENT TO THE NORTHERN DEM
oCRACY.-The New York Tribune the or
gan of the ultra-Abolition wing of the Wing
party, sneers at the Northern Democracy for
their anxiety to establish good understan-
ding with the Southern Democracy, and
thus bears testimony to their readiness to
execute the fugitive slave law, or even to
make it more stringent, if necessary. Do
not our Wing friends who have staked the
Union on the continuance and faithful exc
cution of this law, think it would have been
better to have made up their minds to sup
port the candidate nominated by the North
ern Democracy, than to have united with
this same Tribune, in the election of some
such whig as Fillmore, Webster OF
Scott ?-Mississippian
If the South wants the Fugitive Slave
Law made more stringent, the Democratic
party will undertake to do it, but no change
will be suffered in that statute which might
render it more tolerable to Northern free
men. This is what is called Democracy
and beautiful invention it is.

vocate the following letter from Mr.. NJ. A.
King, declining the Union Electorship for
the sixth Congressional district of Alabama.
TUSCALOOSA, April y, 1852.
Ny Dear Sir: 1t has been my purpose
for some time to address you brief letter,
declining the position assigned me by the
"Union Convention" as Elector.
Anterior to the adjournment of the Leg
islature, expressed to some of my friends
my intention to decline the dictatorship for
the sixth Congressional district. Since
which time | have taken occasion to make
known, both publicly and privately, the
same determination, but never in formal
manner until now. | do so, that some one
more suitable and available may receive the
appointment.
From present indications, am persuad-
ed that the candidates for the next Presiden-
CIV will be nominated and run on the old
party issues; and that the Democratic Ma,
tional Convention, which will convene al
Baltimore in May next, will nominate
"Compromise men," free from the Adolf
ton tendencies, as we'll as Southern ultra
ism. / am democrat, as you very wei
know, Of the jackson school, and believe
the principles of the old Democratic party
to be the true principles of Government.
/ never regarded the formation of The
"Union party" as extending to nationa
organization, but to arrest the tide of evi
which threatened to overwhelm US in 1851
growing out of the passage of the adjust
ment measures. Restless and designing
politicians whose motto was "rule or ruin,
have been silenced by the popular voice
All is now quiet The approaching Presi
dental campaign doubtless will be conduc
ted on the principles which have governed
the two great parties in this country in sim
liar contests. AS Democrat, feel con
strained to support the nomination of tn,

On tomorrow Friday 14th inst.,) the

TIE STATE CoNvENT1oN.-The full pro-
ccedings of the Convention, which we pub
fish to-day, says the Charleston, Is. CO.
Standard, leave no room for our comments.
But these are unnecessary, the remarks of
Choves and Evans justify the action of the
Convention, better than We could do it. It
has done all that was wise to do, and more
or less than this would have been unfaithful-
ness. Judge Evans entered earnestly into
the work Of Cancellation, with firmuess that
would give up nothing essential, but every
thing which could be yielded without detri-
ment to the State. The venerable Cheves
claims that, in this work, he has finished bis
last public duty, and with this thought
weighing upon his mind, no wonder that bis
words Of wisdom were received as oraeles.-
Mr.. Barnwell, too, claims like exemption
from public service, but from this We yentur,

vorable circumstances, allow to him tn
quiet and privacy he desires, but 10 the man
