WIG COUNTY TICKET.

ourselves, as the only Wing journal in
the county, now that both parties have
girded on the armor of political warfare,
to call the attention of the Wings to the
importance of the present election, one
surely IN which we all feel an interest
in. The Wings, as in times gone by,
have called a county convention, COM
posed of delegates from the several
townships, for the purpose of deciding
e the various conflicting claims of the diff
ferent prominent Wings in the county
to the several offices. The selection of
delegates should give fair representa-
ton of the different opinions and views
of the various candidates, and was in
many places conducted spiritedly. The
convention has met and after fair ballot
they selected the ticket which is placed
at the head Of our paper, and which we
trust and believe every Wing in the
county, laying aside for the present all
preferences which he may have had be-
fore the convention met, will give his
hearty and cordial support to. As
Wings, we all know by bitter expert
ence, the evils of Locofoco Legislation.
We know that for the last two years
particularly, that they have increased,
to an enormous extent, the costs of ad-
ministering the State government-that
our election expenses have been more
than doubled-that they have multi
piled offices and oficers-that they have
disregarded and violated the new con-
stitution they SO lately made, and that
their perpetuation in power, with the
aid of even one Whig vote, will encour-
age them to continue the same course of
policy and extravaganza. Our ticket is
composed of gentlemen who have ever
been staunch working Whigs-men, the
most of them, who have held offices of
trust either in the county or townships
in which they reside, and who have dis
charged their several duties with eff
cheney, promptness and ability. Let
the Wings, therefore, lay aside any scru-
pies which they may have on account of
preferences, and march up as of old and
support the whole Wing ticket.
We all know that our opponents will.
to aman, support their candidates, not
withstanding their selections have been
exceedingly unpopular and out of taste
to the great mass of the unterrifed-
that they will exert all their ingenuity
to divide the Wings and discourage
them in the support of their ticket
Wings, are you going to be jockeyed by
these men? We particularly urge you
to organize and meet them with solid
column. The cry has been raised
throughout the whole Union that the
Wing party is dead. The knell they
have raised over the departed Clay and
Webster will create panic in their
ranks that viii not be easily allayed.-
Wings. up and be doing-there is no
time to be lost. Let not the power we
hold in old Gallia be thrown away
Throw aside your little private differ
ences and rally to the old standard. L.
Now is the time for action.
The old guard may die, but aeoer surrender
Never let it be said that old Gallia has
surrendered. We are on firm basis,
and let us maintain it.

The LATE ADMIRAL SIR GEORGE
CocKBURN.-The London Times de-
votes two columns to the genealogy,
the exploits and public honors OF this
hero. 1t recounts with much boastlng,
the marauding in Chesapeake Bay,
glori6es Sir George Cockburn for his
share in the destruction Of between
f2 600, 600 and E3,OOO, 900 of public
property at Washington, which it calls
a "splsndid GehieUement." For this,
more than all his other exploits, Admi-
raj Cockburn was loaded with honors
by his sovereign and by successive par
liaments; and for this, more than for
else, he will be honored with
a place among the great in Westminster
Abbey. On this side of the Atlantic,
however, he has long since secured an
immortality of infamy for his vandal
deeds of infamy at Washington, and
for the cruelties perpetrated by him
along the Chesapeake, during the war
Of 1919. !

GRAIN IN EURoPE-THe Excitement IN
the Breddstufs' Market-The London
correspondent of the New York Com
mercial, under date of the 92nd ult.,
thus writes of the excitement in the
breadstuffs' market:
The intelligence which you received
by the last packet of the King of Ma
pies having decreed the admittance of
grain of all kinds into that country,
duty free, until December next, pro-
duced a decided effect on the London
corn market, which was further greatly
increased by the measure Just mentioned
as having been adopted in France. 1t
is now admitted to be unquestionable
that the harvest in Italy and the South
of France will be seriously deficient,
and all the purchases of wheat, &c, in
the Black Sea have lately taken place
with view to the wants of those coun-
tries, while within the last few days
our own market has likewise been re-
sorted to for the same purpose.
The large stocks of Odessa wheat
taken by our capitalists during the past
month or two will therefore yield
splendid profits. Meanwhile the har-
vest throughout Great Britain is going
on much more favorably than was ever
anticipated. The improvement in this
respect, however, has not been followed
by fall in prices. That event would
have occurred but it has been wholly
counteracted by the continental demand.
Indeed, from this latter cause the buoy
ancy of quotations has been remarkable,
and from the recent fall of 12 per
cent, a recovery has now occurred of
about 8 or 9 per cent, the advance OBJ
tanned yesterday on the best qualities of
English wheat being as much as As.
sterling per quarter.
To avoid being misled by this excite
ment, however, it will be well for
your merchants to bear in mind that
much of the present high price arises
solely from the scarcity of freight in
the Black Sea-a circumstance that will
soon find its cure, and produce a re-
action. According to the last advices
from Odessa the rates paid for vessels
to this country were 115s per ton for
tallow, and 15s. Sd. per quarter, (equal
to 50 90) for wheat.

ADVANCE IN BREADsTUFFs.-The
New York Journal of Commerce of the
9Th says:
The excitement in breadstuffs has
been carried to a high pitch, and flour
has advanced during the morning about
so cents per barrel, and wheat 6 to 8
cents per bushel, although without much
regularity or uniformity in prices
This speculation without stock here, will
work but little advantage to any one,
while it will have tendancy to raise
wheat and -four throughout the interior
beyond the limits of a safe business.
In Philadelphia, also, there was an
advance of 374 to so cents per barrel
on -four, and 6 to 8 cents per bushel on
wheat.
There has been quite an advance here
both in -four and wheat, as will be seen
by referring to our market report.
THE CosrA AFFAIR.-The Washing
ton Union, in copying the article from
the Boston Post on the Kosta affair,
says:
We conclude to-day the publication of
the able and eloquent article in relation
to the affair of Kosta, the first portion
of which we gave in our yesterdays
paper. 1t has been, we perceive, at
tributed to the vigorous and practised
pen of the Attorney General. That
distinguished gentleman is not its
author, though the soundness Of its
views, its patriotic tone, and the force
of argument by which its conclusions
are maintained, have naturally enough
suggested his name in connexion with it.
The concluding paragraph of the
article referred to in the above is as fol-
lows:
We conclude, therefore, that Kosta is
entitled to the protection of the United
States; that the Austrian officers COM
mitted a gross outrage, piracy, and
kidnapping of one IN loco of an Ameri- |
can citizen; that by subsequent acts
they persisted in and aggravated that
outrage; that Kosta must be surren-
dered with ample reparation; that the
laws of our citizenship must be estab-
lished and respected by the European
nevers one and all; and that the Ad-
ministration of Gen. Pierce viii not de-
cline s.the responsibility" |
