WING STATE CONVENTION.

We are pleased 10 see that the sugses-
TONS of the press, as to the speedy convo-
cation Of Wing State Convention ior the
purpose of organizing the party for Inc ap-
preaching Presidential canvass TO appoint
delegates TO tie National Convention nom
mate an Electoral Ticket, &c., has met with
prompt attention. A meeting ofthe Wing
Central Committee and the Wing members
of the General Assembly was held in the
Senate Chamber on Thursday evening last,
Mr.. PRICE, of Greenbrier, in the Chair, and
Mr.. IMBoDEN, Secretary, at which, on mo-
ton of Mr.. SHEFFEY, it was determined to
hold the Convention in Richmond, on the
14th day of April next.
1t will be perceived, from this movement
that the Wing party OF Virginia is not yet
defunct, as our opponents have so often
boastfully asserted. Unterrifed by late dis
asters, they are determined to come once
more to the breach, in defence OF their cher
ished principles. This is the spirit we
like to see, 1t augurs well for the future
Triumph may be long-delayed; but 1t Will
be ultimately achieved, if we preserve our
organization, forget past discouragements'
bury all differences and fight with the de-
termination to succeed.
Our delegates have taken prominent
part in this first movement towards organ
ization and doubtless expect the hearty CO.
operation of their constituents. We there
fore propose that meeting OF the Wings OF
Augusta shall be held at the Courthouse,
on the 1st day of the March Court, for the
purpose Disappointing Delegates to the State
Convention. 1t may be advisable, at the
same time, to express our unanimous pref
erence for MILLARD FILLMORE as the next
Wing Candidate for the Presidency. We
learn from good authority that nine-tenths
of the Wing members of the Legislature ia
vor his nomination. He is undoubtedly the
choice of the Wings of Virginia and of the
Southland we believe the result of the
election Will prove that he is the choice o.
the Union.

A New RELIGIOUS SECT OF PoLYGAMIsTs.-
We have had some startling accounts of the pro
gress Of polygamy among The Mormans of Utah
but their practices seem 10 be propriety itself, com
pared to those which prevail among society
which calls Perieconisls, "and claims TO be
religious and christian. The popularity of the
system ofthe Perfectionisls, is that all the laws
both human and divine, that are designed to regu
late the marriage relation, are sci aside and de-
nounced, while The unrestrained indulgence Of the
human passions is praclised, not merely as the
means 10 present enjoyment, but as means Of grace
or heipS to holiness. The founder of the sucely
is graduate of New England College, a stu.
dent in two theological seminaries, and now the
editor Of paper. published in New York, 10 sus-
tain and advocate his doctrines.
The centre Of this sect is in the town of Lenox
Madison County. New York, where about SO
men, women and children live together in one
house. with no distinction Of property, family, OF
authority. Each one does what seems good in his
own eyes The Bible is their nominal constiiu-
ton, and how curiously they m st follow its teach
ing, is evident from the fact, that they dsavow
all separate or individual right in property, wives
or children" Literally, they have call these
things common" But ,he sect is by no means
confined to Oneida and Madison Counties. In
New York and Brooklyn, and in Newark. N. j.,
and in many other places, there are groups ofprac
tcal members.

FREE Observation-Disclosures in the free
States indicate strong tendency, on the
part of the free negroes to emigrate. MIR
JAMES G.. BIRNEY, the candidate of the
Liberty party for the Presidency in 1874
has issued an address to the free coloured
people, advising them to emigrate to Llbe-
ria. These movements are interesting and
important. We believe that the time will
come. when Liberia will be looked to by
the negro, as our own happy country is by
the people of less favored lands.
