Wings and the Presidency.

A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun
has the following as to Wing movements for
the Presidency:
"The Wings Of the Southern States are
moving on the subject of the next Presiden-
tial election. kentucky held her cOnyen.
ton yesterday. at which MFR. Fillmore and
Mr.. Crittenden were probably nominated.
Missouri has fixed the 18th of April for her
convention, and she will, undoubtedly, fol-
low the same lead. The Southern Wings
generally are likely to adopt this ticket; but
should Mr.. Fillmore. on the eve of the Ma
tional Convention, withdraw his name, it APP
pears likely that the delegations which come
prepared to vote for Mr.. Fillmore; will vote
for Mr.. Webster and Mr.. C~rittenden. In
this case, Mr.. Webster will undoubtedly re-
eel C the nomination Of the convention for
the Presidency. Gen. Scott's friends alrea-
dy see that his best chance is out of the Con
v%ention; and those of his friends who wish
him to stand his hBnd, as it is, are opposed
to the call of any National Wing Conven-
ton.
"The rumor is revived in New York that
Mr.. Webster will not return to the Depart
ment of State. 1t was about time to start
this rumor again, as it has been forgotten
for a month. The rumor will be again re-
newed after the New York Webster meeting
of the 4th of March-for then Mr.. Webster,
as we'll as Mr.. Fillmore, may be considered
as both fairly tn the field, as candidates for
the succession"

Mass Temperance Convention at
Columbus.

A Mass State Temperance Convection was
held at Columbus OH the 25th and 26;h
ultimo. From our Columbus papers, we
learn that it was well attended by persons
from all sections of the State. Mr.. G. N.
Odds, of Pickaway, acted as President of the
Convention. Gen, Houston, who it waa an
nounced would be present, failed to attend.
The committee on Resolutions, through
their Chairman, Gen. Cary, reported the
following, which were adopted:
/. Resolved, That free governments are
instituted solely for the happiness Of the
peopl', that this happiness chiefly consists
in the morality, intelligence and industry of
the people,; and hat whatever practices en-
p~erience proves to be uniformly destructive
to any or all of these, are crimes against So
cisty, and ought to be suppressed by law.
2. RESOLVED, That experience has long
since proved, that the manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors, to be used as adrink.
is not only the principle cause Of, but is in
separately connected with the poverty ig-
n~orance, misery and crime which exists in
civilized communities.
g.. Resolaed, That the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors in our W State
has become an evil of enormous magnitude,
and calls loudly for remedy by prompt and
adequate Legislation.
4. RESOLVED, That all legislative expe-
dients which have been resorted to in this
and other civilized States with a view of
regulating the traffic, have signally failed,
and simply because it is al evil that cannot
be regulated, but must be destroyed.
8. Resol0ed, That we importune our
present General Assembly to enact a 'aw of
prohibition and protection, embracing SUBJ
stantially the principles of the Maine liquor
law, and that in the opinion of this Conven-
lion, alaw which does no: declare intoxicat-
ting liquors a nuisance, and provide fsr its
seizure and destruction wherever found for
sale as a drink, will not satisfy the demand
of popular sentiment in the State.
6. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
to each other, to our fellow citizens, to hui
manity to secure and enforce law that shall
protect us and our children from the blight
ing soul-destroying, God -dishonoring course
of intempel ance.

persons assisting him, To these he propo-
sed the project of robbing Brewers chicken

and arriving at the roost, began to help
themselves to the chickens. On hearing the
noise among the fowls, Mrs. B. repaired to
the roost with a light; but on turning the cor
