| WING MEETING IN HENRIco CouNTY.-Pur-
suant to a call in the newspapers, portion of the
Wings of Henrico county, met at their Court
House on Monday last, April s. and organized by
appointing Mr. j. B. KEEsEE, Chairman, and
Jas. w. Lewellen, Secretary.
The object of the meeting being to appoint del
egates to the Wing State Convention, to be held
in this city on the 14th inst,
Mr.. JOHN M. Boris offered the following
| resolutions, which were seconded by Mr.. Charles
G. Lee, and, on being put to vote, unanimously
adopted:
| l. Resolved, That - delegates be appointed
to represent this county in the Wing State Con-
vention to be held in the city of Richmond, on
"Wednesday, the 18th instant, and that the fol-
lowing persons, to wit - constitute sue I
delegation.
2. Resolved, That in the opinion of the Wings
OF Henrico the administration of Willard Fillmore
has been characterized by great prudence, patri-
otism and om-conscentiously upholdng the
requirements of the Constitution, and tearessly
enforcing the provisions of law, without reference
to sections or localities.
8. Resolved That while no mad and ambitious
schemes OF conquest and of war; stained with the
blood of fifty thousand victims, have marked his
career, to lend "bnltlancy' to his administration,
he has pursued the higher and the nober ends of
healing divisions and discussions home, strength
ening the bonds Of Union between the States, en-
couraging domestic industry and enterprise, cu-
tivating peace abroad, and preserving the true
honor and dignity of the nation by keeping faith
with and respecting the rights of all the other
powers of the earth, making no distinction be-
tween the weak and the strong.
4. Resolved, That we cordially commend his
approval of and his fidelity to, those great meas
ures peace and tranquility, that have quoted
the agitations of the country, commonly known
as the Compromise measures of 1850.
5. Resolved, That we especially admire the !
calm dignity with which he stood unmoved,
amidst the extraordinary scenes presented by
Congress, and large portion of the country, in al
moment of distempered excitement, and the
fimness with which he repealed the alarming
doctrines of Louis kossuth, who had been invited
to our shores as an 'emigrant," but who was re-
ceived and treated as a guest of the nation, and
who on his first landing presumed to threaten an
appeal from our government to the people, thus
insulting both the government and the people,) i
at his bidding, it not depart from the wisdom that
had guided its foreign policy from the foundation
of our institutions, as acted upon and recommend
ed-to us by the God inspired Father ofhis Coun
try; and who has not yet ceased his efforts to in
flame the minds ofour people, to disturb the peace
of our happy country, and to involve us i'll all the
