Wing State Convention.

In another column will be found the entire proceed
ings of the Wing Convention-they given a
matter of interest to all parties, and desire to pre-
sent both-al sides, as well our own, leaving
free to choose for themselves shall do, when
lifetime arrives The first resolution is most nso-
lent piece of CANNON, wholly unworthy of men of
sense, and indirectly propogates political falsehood
1t is too late in the day, after the full and clear expo
ston of events, for to attempt to make it appear
that any party in Mississippi, under any pretext
red upon the Constitution of the country or that any
party in this State endeavored to dissolve the Union
The last clause, then, in the first resolve indirect
political falsehood
The third resolution as it stands in the published
proceedings (and copy from the Flag Of the Uaion)
is Grant nonsense 1t is fair presume that the Sc
cretares the printers have omitted portion of the
substance of that resolve else the convention in
tended to present no substance
How happens it that Capt. Starkes resolution COM
mcndng Webster does not appear in the proceedings
1t is to be hoped for the honor Of the convention that
that resolution win yet be published won't the secre.
taries hunt it up.
The resolution of coincidence, introduced by Mr. G.
NJ. Hillyer of Nachez, is in any sense, most wicked
piece of satire, and contains much heartless IRONY
anything we have seen lately. It's not complimen-
tary Mr. Clay, because conceals beneath its dra-
perry most unkind stroke at his politics. and the re-
solutions of the Convention itself partially repudates
the doctrines he has been the embodiment ofor fifteen
years.
0rOur friend of the Pauding Clarion is, no doubt
a pious good soul-a forgiving and forgetting man
areal disciple and happy exponent of small calamites
casualties, rapes, marriages and deahs-a humoristic
detaer of party inantes shrewd developer of petty
party tactics, and incapble of seeing ncon-
sistency he is of natural and chyarc bearing to-
ward an opponent whose sin consists in exposing the
tricks OF leaders TO the gaze of the 1t is i'm
possible to cherish the least unknd feeling toward our
pious contemporary of the Clarion. says he meant
40 harm-nsists he has done injustice, declares
we are ultra and will have it that pretty clever
sort of fellow, but politically that amt right Po
say nothing of the modesty of our pious contemporary
who by the way, is modest--ths assumption of his,
that not politically right leaves it to be infer
ed that he IS andthat aIwho do square his stan
dard, are heretcs Wei, we are not his iudge-we
have done for himwhat he dare not do for -ge pub
shed has article and he dare not publish our reply be-
cause it c0ud have exposed his modeay to his readers
and we are sure that ought never to be exposed for
there is not salt enough between Pearl river and the
Gulf coast to preserve it, exposed.
d
in Politics" All : is there How wonderful To
see good and a divine purpose in the Unverse-to
in the Towering shrub, the green fields, and the
mighty forests, the hand Of God-to hear in the bab
bling brook the surge of old ocean, the wall and
shrek of the gale it sweeps by the voice of God
tosee and hear these, to feel and know their meaning,
to appreciate and seek make these and all the other
blessings prolusey scattered around paths for
wise and benifcent purpose minister to. those wants
implanted within us-to know that these are Gods in
strumentalities, and that through them reads the
mmutabie Law of order justice and consistency, and can
but learn that he deVate5 from these he courts in
consistency invites confsion and draws upon himself
the sure penalty ofdsobedence this is Panthe-
ism it is our guide in politics, and its not likely that
we shall apostatise. Does pious anti-pantheist
know that there is political Deisn2 vile, corrupt
and most depraged species ef poltic, that not only
acrifces truth justice and consistency to its damnable
sns but willlap over and draw beneath its covering
I'll that's heartless and taintng in morals Its aims
are success TIE means de9e1entalIy, corrupt. Bat
