THE WING NATIONAL CoNvENTIoN.-
A condensed report of the proceedings
of this body will be found in our paper
to-day. Up to the latest accounts no
nomination had been made, nor is there
a single indication, upon which to base
speculation, as to who will be the can
didate. Of this however, we are GER
tain, that no man, who is not in every
way worthy of the confidence and sup
port of the Wing party-not of the
North, the South, the East, or the West,
but of the whole Union-will be pre-
scented as the standard bearer in the APP
preaching contest. Whoever he may
be, we feel that he Will be such an one
as we can rally around, confident that in
his hands We can place the honor of our
country, the sacred institutions upon
which are based our rights as Americans,
and the great principles of the Wing
party, without the shadow of doubt or
fear. Our candidate, be he whom he
NAV, will not be the result of chance, nor
will he be- selected on account of his OBJ
security. The choice will be dictated by
wise and prudential counsels, and the
BEST man miW be selected. OF the ulti-
mate success of the Wing candidate, if
supported by the full strength of the
party, there cannot be the slightest
doubt. The interests of every class of
our citizens, the character of our coun-
try at home and abroad, the permanency
of our republican institutions all demand
that the government Of this country be
in the hands OF Wings, and these de-
mands will be met. Right and truth
though clouded and down trodden for
time must eventually triumph.
MAN SHOT. "A shooting affair occur
ed near Fair Hill in this county, on
Saturday evening last. Two men named
Cornish and Humes had quarrel in re-
gard to some private matter. After
they separated Cornish went to the store
in the neighborhood, purchased some
large shot, returned to thes field where
Humes was working, rested his gun on
the fence, took aim and fired, lodging
the whole load ia the stomach and breast
of Hunes. These are the circumstances
as we have heard them. We learn that
Humes is slowly recovering. Cornish
is now in Jail.

RowLANDsv1LLE, June II, '52.
MEssRs. ED1roRs: weather has
been exceedingly warm for three days,
the thermometer standing in the shade,
where there is constant draft of air, on
Tuesday, at 90, Wednesday 95 and to-
day at 80, during the warmest part of
the day.
Since my last communication there
has been frcshet in the Susquehanna,
and quite number of RATS have de-
scended to tide water, affo.ding our
river men another short harvest. be-
l,eve the water has again fallen too low
TO be navigable. The warm weather is
causing the city folks to seek the shade
of the country. Com. ID. Conner, u.
s. N, and family, are expected at their
country residence, on the Octovaro, in a
few days.
Harvest is fast approaching, and a
number of our nei ghbors expect to com
mence euttlng clover on Saturday. The
crop is heavy, and although not quite
ripe, it is thought better to commence
cutting to prevent it from rotting. Iii
thought the wheat crop will be light, in
consequence OF the very dry state ofthe
ground when 1t was sown. P.
L. Col. WILLIAM z. KING, just no.
minated for Vice-Presldent, has been in
Congress longer than any man now re-
naming there except HENRY CLAY.
He has taken pay for more than thirty
years service, mainly in the Senate,
where he has held a seat for thirty-two
or three years past, less the time that he
was aboard, securing the emoluments Of
Foreign Mission. We have been try
ing to remember anything he has said
or done IN all this long career, which
should raise him above the dead level of
an ordinary tax which should
entitle him to the admiration or graft
tude of his countrymen. Our effort has
been unsuccessful. We know that he
helped Through the Constructive Mi
leage of the Senate last year by certify
ing that it was correct, though he evinc-
ed his conviction that 1t was not so by
declining to receive it himself. But
what decided good he ever did or at
tempted we cannot discover. Yet we
call this an age Of Progress and Reform!

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS

owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not YETI, the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjoned, and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the clabo-
rate and ponderous catises to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKWDOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-
dical-< Blackwood " and the :" London Quarterly !"
are Tory the 60 Edinburgh Review" Wing; and
the &C Westminster Review D Liberal. The North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement i'll Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views on any one o. the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con-
