Of the whole district, they deem convention to

Convention at st. Louis that they would send
one delegate to said Convention, leaving him UNI
tramelled by instructions opposing the holding

Resolutions were also passed in favor of the

Prevention, eulogistic of Henry Clay, and in IA
vor of Millard Fillmore for President. James
Mccoy was nominated to represent the county
in the General Assembly. The meeting was
the largest and most enthusiastic held in the
county for years.
In Monroe county, the wings of Middle Grove
township met on the 2lst ult., and resolved to
run good and true wing from their end of the
county, for the Legislature, who would oppose
chopping off certain portion of their county,
to manufacture new one; and approving the
county wing meeting to come off in Paris on
the second Saturday in this month.
1t appears that not only every wing paper in |
the State, but every county convention, so far
as heard from, expresses decided, str ong pre-
ference for Fillmore, as our next candidate for
President. He appears to be the favorite of
the wings throughout the Southern, South-wes-
tern and Western States. Nearly every Wing
newspaper in Virginia has spoken out for him,
and some time ago he received the nomination
of the Tennessee Wing State Convention. On
the 25th, the Kentucky State Convention added
its voice to that Of Tennessee in favor of Fill
more. So far as delegates were instructed by
the county conventions, it is observed that Gen.
N. w. Watkins was the choice for Governor.
