DeIdsnre.

At meeting held by the Wings of Newcastle
county, the following resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted. The first of the series gives strong
endorsaton of the policy of the Administration.
This includes great deal-for not only has the
wisdom and infexible firmness of the President
been exemplifed in striking manner with res
psct to grave matters of internal regulation, but he
has had to pass through the ordeal of more than
one great question growing out and bearing direct
ly upon the foreign relations of the government
1t is true that Mr.. Fillmore did not stand alone on
these occasions He had summoned to his coun-
Gil board men, and man, whose sagacity nothing
can deceive, whose boldness nothing can daunt and
whose patriotism nothing can damp. We will
never forget as long reason occupies her throne
the instant tranquility that transused into the
public mind when it was known that Mr.. Webster
had accepted seat in Mr.. Fillmore's cabinet
The feeling of hopeful confidence that Illuminated
every breast and dispersed the gloomy apprehen-
sions that oppressed every mind showed plainly
enough in which one of their statesmen the Amer
| lean people reposed their highest trust
Reso1uea That while the Congress othe United States
has thus far during its present session proved itself to be
regardless of the rights and interests of the people,
cally the important subjects which have refer
red yet the President and the Executive Government
the United States emneny merit the appreciation Of
those who entrusted to their hands, by the firm dis
charge of the duties enoned upon them by the laws and
constitution of country: and that, Wings will
stand by and support the Executive Administration
have always sustained those who have administered the
Government upon Wing principles.
Resoleed That the distinguished talents and services
General Winfield Scott entte him to the last ng graft
tude of the whole country In him we behold man Of
unblemished character and unsuied regulations kind a
fable courteous, and patriotic Wing firm and ae du-
ring his life identified with Wing principles and after
service of nearly forty years to his country desire
with grateful hearts to bestow him the highest Office
within the gift of free people.
Resoned That in John J Crittenden of Kentucky we
find ability patriotism. and unbendng integrity; that he is
trusted and tried Whg has always been faithful his
country discharging his duty in Cabinet council and in
the Senate with great credit himself and therefore do
we seek to honor him first choice for Vice Presi
dent of the United Statss
Resoced That desire the delegates from this coun-
ty to presentto the Wing Convention, to Dover
on the first Tuesday in June next the of Winfield
Scott Of New Jersey, first choice for the Office of
President othe United States; and the of John j.
Crittenden, Kentucky first choice for the Office
of Vice President Of the United States.

THE SLAVERY QUESTION IN CALL.
FORNTA

We are under obligations to friend in Cali
fornia for legislative documents of that State.
which he has from time to time been kind enough
to forward US. Amongst others received ycster-
day, we find copy of the bill entitled an Act re-
commencing to the electors to vote for or against
calling Convention, to revise and change the en-
tire Constitution of California. 1t passed the
House, we understand, by vote of 81 to 7, and
was sent to the Senate on the Sd of March. A
majority, we learn, of the Assembly is pro slave
ry and yesterday we were favored with the pe
rusal OF letter from one of our own citizens now
In California, who states therein that he thinks
the effort now being made to render California n
Slave State will prove successful and that in the
event OF failure it will be endeavored to make
the southern portion at all events slave.
JUSTICE" says the writer, " demands one of
these two courses. Situated as we now are. the
wealth and inexhaustible resources of California
are open to all the world except the Southern
States Any man with capital can invest it in
any way he may deem BEST aud reap rich re-
turn tor his toll; but we of the South, because
our capital is invested in slaves, alone of all the
world are deprived of u right, not privilege,
which we should first have enjoyed. Had it not
beenior the Southern volunteers, California might
still have remained in the hands of the slothful
and retrograding Mexican Or else in the grasp of
the unrelenting Engishman."

WINGS OF OHIO.

The Chilicothe Gazette publishes the following
series of resolutions adopted by convention COM
posed of the delegates representing the Wings Of
Ross Pike, Jackson, Scioto and Adams counties.
The reader will perceive from the following
indication, that the Wings of that important
State are as sound upon the question of the Com
promise, are the Wings of Virginia. They
approve of the administration of President Fill
more, because of Z" its adherence to the letter and
spirit of the acts of the late Congress- popularity
known as the Compromise measures" This
manifests soundness of feeling and opinion in
relation to these important issues, that is filed with
good omens. The most ardent and thorough
Southern Wing would not find it difficult to unite
cheerfully with these men. Their resolutions
breathe spirit Of patriotism that's every man must
be ready to applaud. If we are justified in re-
garding them fair exponent Of Wing senti-
ment in the free States, why may we not expect
from the National Convention, such course of
action as will bind Heterogeneous of our party to-
gether! We look forward with hopeful spirit
to that body-for we are not prepared to believe
that the existence of the great Wing party in the
Union, so renowned for its principles and for
the constancy with which they have been adhered
to- is doomed to so speedy dissolution When
we this party divide by geographical lines and
the different partsno longer cooperate upon tho
platform of their old opinions, we shall be con-
vinced that one of the strongest ties the Union
has been sundered:
Resolred the of the Wings Of this Congress

many difficult questions which have been presented
it. and particularly for its adherence to the letter and sp
r of the of the late Congress rendered necessary by
an accession territory Government, and popu-
larry known the Compromise measures. meets with
our cordial Appreciation and is deserving the support
only ofevery Wing, but of every friend Of the peace and
prosperity Of his country

We invite the attention of our readers, and

THE WHEELING BRIDGE.

more particularly the attention of members of the
Legislature, to the following letter:
THE WHEELING BRIDGE.
7othc Editors ofhe Union:
There Is now great flood in the Ohio river
and the water is still rising rapidly. 1t is the
greatest flood that has occurred for the last twen-
ty years;
We, the subscribers, have this moment aoit-
messed the passage under the Wheeling bridge of
tt. This is the boat that Chancellor Walworth Sc
lected as the which was to guide the court
In adjusting the height of the bridge.
When this boat passed she was on her way up,
trying to reach Pittsburg, as no boats are now
running excepting those which are making for
ports. This boat stopped at the Wheeling wharf,
and during the few minutes she renal ned here
threw back her chimnies. She then passed stead
lily under the bridge, having space still to spare
Of a about elepen feet.
This is the pratical result, with the tallest boat
on the 1icer, aoaen passing at the top Of the highest
flood hathas been aoitnessed here for t,Uenty gears
The Supreme Court have decided that this,
bridge shall be taken down as nuisance. There
must be some mistake in this business
We are not stockholders in the bridge, and think
that the Court must have been in some way misled
This bridge is no nuisance. The navigation
Is now virtually suspended by the flood, but the
travel is still crossing the Ohio on the bridge with
out obstruction.
The same thing happened last fall, when the
river was obsttu cted by low water, and it happen
ed again this winter, when it was INSTRUCTED by
ice. The bridge has never failed since its erection,
at any season, to accommodate the commerce of
the country.
Please publish this rs an act of Justice.

MAYORS COURT.

deeds perpetrated in the city the preceding 4s
hours.
Two OF the negroes proved to be runaways and
were committed as SUCH
Two others had been arrested Sunday night In
Gary street, by the watchmen, whilst engaged in q
fight. As the circumstances which led to the fight.
We're somewhat aggravated, the Mayor dixa Used
the case. AS somo may be curious to learn .hese
circumstances we will state them briefly. Sum-
day night as VIM. Redd (slave) was passing along
Gary street, in company with his wife, a crowd
OF negroes overlook and hustled them about in
passing. Indeed one fellow ran over Redds wife,
Knocking her down. This rude treatment tho
rouhgly aroused Redd, and in the blindness of his
wrath he pitched into the first negro he encoun.
tered. NOW, it turned that the man he assault
cd had not misbehayed, but as Redd would not
listen to any explanation, he undertook to defend
himself, and whilst doing so fell into the hands Of
he police.
Richard M. Brimme1 was fined because had
tailed to provide his omnibus with list of the
legal rates of travel in the city.
Cornelius Lyme, an inmate of the city Poor
House, was examined upon the charge of getting
drunk Sunday and throwing stones at citizen in

prosecuting the miserable pauper, the case was
dismissed, and Lyme ordered to return to the
