1t is gratifying to find the Carolina journals re.
buking another of the disorganzing doctrines Of
their Red Republican contemporaries Of the North
1t is the Charleston Mercury that thus effectively
repels new ism, which aims death-blow at the
power of the United States to protect its commerce
on its coasts by the maintenance of Navy:
at is objected" says the Mercury, that the
present mode of appointing officers is aristocratc,
and calculated to repress honorable emulation
among the crews for proficiency and distinction;
and it is suggested, as the true remedy, that the
'untrammeled votes of the seamen in each vessel
should Designate at the expiration of each term of
enlistment, those of their number from among
whom officers should be selected This is indeed
Democracy with vengeance; but it is no less i'm
practicable and fatal to effective and heightened
navy. That branch of the national defence has
already received manning blow in the abolition
Of corporal punishment, which originated in
false and pandering spirit 1t is possible that this
step may be followed up by others, which must
result in disorganizing and degrading the navy.
ITO make the tenure Of Office depend upon per-
sqnal popularity with the crews will inevitably
sink the officer from the attitude Of command and
discipline to electioneerer, meanly subserv-
ing the whms and catering for the votes of class
who, all the world over, are turbulent and reek-
less, but who in the course of Democratic tri-
umph shah have become the depositaries Of power
and honors.
"This country is already too much tortured and
corrupted with the manifold tricks of the musings
fhonors and emoluments every where are had at the
sprice of sycophancy; and we cannot but denounce
the introduction Of such elements into those just
objects Of pride and anxious guardianship, the Ar
nv and Navy Of the United States"

WINGS RALLYING.

The WHO'S of gallant TENNESSEE have come
forward to let their brethren throughout the Union
see that they at least are neither paryzed nor de-
pressed by the political reyerses of last autumn;
on the contrary, they are now, ever, wide awake
and taking the field for the approaching contest in
their State. 1t has always appeared to us that no
people ever acted with such constancy on the maxim
that "ceaseless vigilance is the price fliberty' as
the people of the truly republican State OF Ten
nessee.
The Wing State Convention met at Nashville on
Monday, the 25th ultimo--delegates from thirty
three counties attending. r. b. MCGEE, Esq. was
appointed President of the Convention, and Messrs
E. p McGinty and r. S Sanders, secretaries.
GUsTAvus A. HENRY, of Montgomery, was nomi-
mated by reclamation the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor of the State at the approaching election Flo
quent and stirring addresses were delivered by the
Hon. JOHN BELL and other distinguished members,
and the finest spirit peryaded the Convention.
Amongst other proceedings of this patriotic body
the following most just resolution, which will re-
ceive the approval Of unprecedented men Of all par
ties, unanimously and enthusiastically adopted
Resolvsd, That the Wing party of Tennessee most
heartily approve Of the domestic and foreign policy
the national administration Of WILLARD FILLMORE and
point to them with pride as the OF the
principles policy Of the conservative Wing party Of
the Union and that the people Of the South owe to
WILLARD FILLMORE debt of gratitude, for his patriotic
support of the Constitution and the maintenance of the
laws of the Union which they fear they may never be
able to repay.
