We are informed that, with but two excep-
tions, the Wing press of Mississippi have re-
sponded favorably to the proposition to hold a
Wing State Convention in Jackson on the third
of May. The .uississippidn pours forth phial
of Southern Rights Indignation at what it calls
the ''deep game" Of the Wing leaders, accus-
ing them of having led the Compromise Demo
Gratis TO believe that the Union organization
would be adhered to but the most that the
.hississippian advances in support Of the allie
CATION is reference TO its own conjectures in
November last. The Yazoo Whig shows,
however, that the charge, against the fair
dealing Of the Union Wings, has no foundation
in truth. IL might have added that sincere
friends Of the Union party are not likely to
base their opinions on the pretended facts Of a
journal which only ceased to be Secessonist
when secession ceased to be an acceptable doc
irine. The Whig remarks:
owe cannot how the reorganization of the
Wing party, or tho sending Of delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention, can possibly dissolve the
Union party Of the State, for it must be admitted

party Of the state-thc Union democrats having
gives US every reason to believe that they will
again unite with their old associates in support Of
the nominee Of that convention. Why, then,

and then ohooso between them2 We profess TO be
as devotodly attached TO the Union as any Of our
contemporaries, and hope thntwe done as good
service in the late canynss rs they did; yet we
cannot bot believe that the course which some of
the Wing press is pursuing, in opposing the send
ing Of delegates TO the National WING Convention,
"a a most suicidal policy We believe that the
Wing party Of Mississippi should be represented
in that body, and in conjunction with the other
Southern States throw its influence in favor of

These were agreed TO unanimously. An
other resolution was carried, but with less
unanlmity:
That we will sustain any nomination made by
the National Wing Convention, with the single
proyiso that the nominee be sound and explicit in
his adhesion to the Compromise, in its spirit osd
intent. We cannot pledge our support to any one
suspected on this point"
