II Il rul1-blOOueu wing IlcK6Is
On Monday last the Wing Convention as
sembled ina big rain. Il was a very damp,
wet affair. On the second day the rain turn.
cd 10 a sickly drizzle, and the Convention
came very near following the weather, and in
the hands of the low-down sort Of men-Pat-
rick Henry, Parson Mcdowell and such like,
degenerating into a very small fizzle. But
the "out and out Wings, the "never say
die" old fashioned, Federal, Bank, Clay
Wings, routed the soft shells, horse, Foote
and dragons; and when the rain ceased and
the sun shone out on Tuesday, the Conyen-
ton made glad the heart Of every true-blue,
by nominating or recommending, or specify
ing, or designating or pointing at or sort Of
limiting. the following full blOOded, old fash
ioned Wing caravan:
For Goyernor-IIon. i. Nj. Rogers, Of
Monroe.
Secretary of State-HOn. James A. Horne,
of =.
Auditor Of Public Accounts-Hon. D. r.
Russell, Of Carroll.
Treasurer-Rev. James Mcdowell, (Ran-
kin Ram,) Of Rankin
Attorney-General-Hon. Geo. II. FoOte,
Of Noxubee.
We learn the Convention deemed that it
was unconstitutional to run any body for
Floater. But the indomitable Bradford COM
pared himself TO Marshall Soult, in the hands
\ of Napoleon on the field Of AusteIlitz, and
announced his intention to pitch in. In so
doing he made an humorous, witty, brilliant,
eloquent and overwhelming speech in favor Of
the good "old Wing cause, which was re-
ceiyed with rapturous and laundering ap-
plause by great part Of the Convention ; and
when in the loftiest note of his high and clari-
ON voice, which has heretofore rung upon
many a field, he reached his climax aud de-
clared that he was and had been Wing
from the year ONE" the very pillars Of the
Hall shook with long pent up Wing thunder!
Long before the assembling Of the Conyen-
ton, it was evident that there would be bitter
discord in its deliberations. The Flag or
can had declared that the "once honored !"
name of Wing had become too selfish to soil
its columns; that it preferred Wilcox and
Nabors to any mere partiEans, meaning any
mere TTyhigs, and put forth its ticket mixed
mn Of Whies and Democrats. The gallant
Arthur. of the Ticksburg Wig, responded
and denounced the Flag and its mongrei
movement with fierce and pungent power.
Uncle Palmer, Who since he swallowed all
the public printing last winter, has become as
"spunkey" as a rat, answered with broad
side. denounced certain Wings as being " sell
fshly bent on getting up Wing organiza-
ton for their own benefit as Wings proclaim
ed that Shis eye was upon them " and assert
ed his purpose to denounce them before the
people Of Mississippi. He further asserted
Henry S. Foote to be the alpha and omega oi
Whiggery in this State.
In this condition were things when the Con
yention, after long delay, met.

There was a sort Of showing Of hands, and
