Alabama.


We had occasion few days ago to notice a
movement set on foot in Alabama for the reor-
ganization Of the Wing party in that State; and
have since chroncled the fact that the greater
proportion of the Union journals favored the
proposition as the one most likely to produce
the results aimed at by the Union party.
We have received reports of the earliest pro-
ceedings Of the Union Wings in the counties
of Macon and Greene, called to consider the
propriety of being represented in the Wing Ma
tional Convention. The Macon meeting agreed
unanimously to the following:
"Reso!usd, That in the Union recognise the
source and security of our power and prosperity
and that will cherish and preserve it with a de
votion commensurate with tho value of the trus,
confded to us, and the blessings it dspenses.
"ResOIusd, That we regard the series Of measures
commonly known az the Compromise 4 final
settlement in principle and substance of the dan
gerous and exciting subjects which those measures
embrace, and we are opposed to their further agi
tation.
"Resolued, That we have perfect confidence in
the honesty, capacity, and patriotism of MILLARr
FILLMORE; that his Administration merits and re-
ceives our hearty APPROVAL that his reelection te
tho Presidency would be but act Of justice
due to the full, faithful fearless, and efficient per-
formance OF his duties, during the past most trying
and critical period of our existence as nation
and would evince the intelligence and patriotism
of our people, by demonstrating their ability and
disposition to approve exalted merit, honesty oil
purpose, and faithful services; while it would be
the beat guarantee eff future peace at home respect
abroad, and the permanence and prosperity of our
Union.
"Rssoiptd, That we hereby declare Willard Fill
more to be our first choice as the Wing candidate
in the next Presidential race, and that we will use
all fair and just means TO secure his nomination by
the National Convention.
"Resocfd, That we recommend to tho Wing
party Ct Alabama to hold Wing State Conven-
ton at Montgomery the first Monday in June,
for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Ma
tional Wing Convention, and to form State elect
oral ticket, and that each county in the State send
delegates to said State Convention"
The Greene meeting also unanimously af-
frmed the expediency of sending delegates to
the National Convention and suggested that
Wing State Convention be held at Selma on
the 9TH of May. 1t was further resolved
THAT as Wings, a southcrners, and as Ameri-
cans, we cordially approve the Administration Of
Willard Fillmore"

MEXICO.

This country seems to have as many revolu-
tions going on at once, as it has states, and
they seem to be conducted, each one, upon its
own hook. As far as we can see, the Central
Government is q mere igment, having no
power, and in point of fact, scarcely any ex-
istence. 1t never gives signs Of lie, save when
It feels itself called on to oppose the Iehuan-
| tepec grant, or to call on our Government for
| more money to pay for Indian spoliations and
murders. 1t is remark, BILE fact, that these
have increased in number and atrocity since
the United States engaged to repress them, or
pay for them, on the same principle, perhaps,
that if you give one beggar a dollar to get rid
of him, you will be annoyed by 4 dozen te-
fore the day is out. This money is all that
the so called General Government depends
upon to keep the machine in mo ton !; and as it
is generally absorbed by payments Of interest
on English debts before it reaches the puilc
crib, it, Of course, goes no very long way to
greasing the wheels of State. To crown the
misfortunes of Mexico, Louis Napoleon is
about to send powerful feet to Vera Cruz to
demand indemnfcation for certain spoliatons'
alleged to have been committed on French re-
sidents, or, in other words, to extract blood
from turnp for no man can see where the
money is to come from. In this dilemma, the
recall of Santa Anna i. seriously spoken of;
but in what way he is to relieve the financial
embarrassments of a State already Offering
three per cent q month for loan of three
millions, without finding bidder, we are at
loss to conceive.
We very much fear we shall be in the posi-
ton of the English India, which i. so feel
ingly described by the London Times. We
are very virtuous-fully as much SO as the Eas,
India Company. We do not desire 10 extend
our conquests any farther; but if our neigh
Dor. will not manage their own affairs, tits no
fault of ours. We are q nation Of philsnthro-
pists, like our cousins over the water, and
while their sympathies expand over the posses
sons of the Hindoos, ours dissolve in tears
over the waste lands of the Mexicans. We
very much fear we can never make the latter
do as they ought to do, until We take their af-
fairs and their possessions into our own hands
OF course cur transatlantic relations will re-
joice TO see US initiating their example so
closely,

THE SHOOTING CAsK-Our reporter, on Satur-

respecting the shooting Of the negro Amos in DR..

seer, Mr.. George Fuchran. The fracas was not
gen sraly known until late the evening OF Friday
when il was too late to obtain the authentic part
culars in time for publication Saturday morning.
Ii appears that Amos, who belongs to the estate of
VIM. &. Watson, absented himself from the factory
two days without permission Friday morning, on
reporting himself, he ordered t. strip for
punishment, which he refused to do Mr.. Fuchran
then seized Amos, who offered a sturdy resistance,
eadeavorng to choke him. Mr. F. teen seized a
screw wrench and struck the negro over the head
two or three times, fracturing his skull The negro
still continued to choke Mr. F., and finding he was
too strong for him, Mr. F. called upon mis- brother
for revolver, which was placed in mis- hand, and
the negro still refusing to release his hold, he fired
npon him. Three shots were fired, enc taking
effect in the negros light shoulder, the other two
in one of his thighs. The negro then ran of, and
soon after was captured by Lieut.. johnson ana
taken to the Medical Infrmary for the purpose Ct
dressing his wouu1s. Saturday the negros skul'
was trepauned, and the flesh wounds, which were
not vel serous were again dressed. He will pre-
