Southern Delegate to the Wing National Con-
TAnti9n.

W. II. Lucas OF Alabama, wing, was a delegate
from that State to the Wing National Convention He
has returned home and published letter, in which he
SAYS he should be recreant to the South if he con-
scented support Gen. Scott. He says that the North
yielded to the South platform, solely with the view of
securing the nomination OF Scott he being the choice
of the free soil abolition CT the North. This is in
keeping with the declaration of Raymond of the N. Y
Times, for the making of which the convention pro-
posed to expel him. but didn't. By the way that
rich affair, and in it may be the sputtering of
the Southern dcmagogue, without the resolution which
controls the Independent, bold and conscientious
man. The convention pocketed the insult, and Ray
mond rium2had, for the resolution of expulsion was
killed by an overwhelming vote.
Lucas has plain way of telling plain truth; one
can see that he believes what he says, and says what
he believes He does not believe that the North in
tends to abide by the platform, sixty-sX in the
convention declared by their votes ana he says that
al unsound will pay it little respect which sren
dered certain when it is known that he is to be
brought into Office if carried in at ALL by the very
who have declared that they were opposed to it. But
Mr.. Lucas tells the story very well below He says
mo Northern member of Congress will pay
the least regard to it (the Wing pIatform) W
one aiU feel himself precladed by 1t from adoo
eating any hereSy 10 schich his incitnations lead
a sound national man in the Presidential chair is
worth all the platforms ingenuity could devise
An unsound man will pay little respect to sucf
fimsy restraints. This was well understood by
those who nominated Gen. Scott, and who mus
elect him, if he is elected at all. Believing tina
the influence of his Office would not be used agains
them-hoping that it would be used for them
they hare selected Gen. Scott, almost entirely By {
sectional vote, the standard-bearer of the Whg
of the Unon.''
at is easy for Gen. Scott to add to the conse
quence of Freesolers and Abolitionists by placing
them in places of public trust and it will be equal
ly easy, in the event of the passage of bill Il
repeal the Fugitive Slave law, to withhold hi
veto, and take refuge under the doctrine that tn
will of the people, as expressed by Congress
ought not to be thwarted by the Executive. I'm
fortunately, this is already too widely recognises
as Wing principle
81 believe the election of Gen. Scott would b
fatal to the best interests of the Republic-tha
it would revive dangerous sectional agitation
and force the South to look for protection for it
property beyond the limits of the Union. Believ
ing this, L should be recreant indeed if l con
sented to support him.

DIED

AT her residence near Columbus, on the morn
ing of the 14th inst, MRS. MARGARET JANE
WlTHERSP OON, in the 81 year of her age.
The Deceased was long and well known in this
community as most worthy woman Early in
doctrinated into the principles of Christianity, she
spent useful life in giving to those principles a
daily and practical illustration. She became dis
tinguished for her observance of the domestic du-
ties. Its matter of notoriety how sad and trying
was her position when years ago the natural head
and stay of the family being taken away, she was
left comparatively alone, with young, large, and
dependent family looking to her for counsel, and
leaning upon her for the support which they had
lost IN the untimey death of their beloved father.
And it is a matter of equal notoriety, how with a
resolute will, and with fortitude not uncommon
to woman IN such emergencies, she assumed the
difficult task, and led her sons and daughters to
independence and responsibility.
In their turn they became her support; but just
when she felt that her work was well nigh accom-
plished, -when she appeared like half-fallen
tree leaning upon other trees that had grown be-
meath its shade, secured resting among her chill
dren, the fell Destroyer came and laid her in ruins
She died of malignant Carbuncle, which had its
seat upon the neck. To the last she was conscious
of the approach of death and though constitu-
tonally cautious and timid she was permitted by
faith IN her savior to triumph over the last enemy
Her obseques were attended by numerous as
sembly of both sexes, who long knew her, and will
long point to her, a model of prudent, frugal
of domestic and hospitable an,--with al
these natural virtues stil further embellished by
the higher graces that belong to consistent walk
in all goodness and sincerity
