must say that the Wing Convention was COM
posed Of as fine and intelligent appearing lot of
men as haye ever seen convened together III the
County The Georgetown precinct sent down
double delegation, consisting Of four gentlemanly
whigs and four ladies. There was no contest
among them for seats in the convention. This
believe was generally regretted, as from the we'll
known gallantry of the committee on credentials,
seats would have been awarded to the ladies' the
gentlemen doing the voting as the ladies do not
belong to the ''Woman's Rights" school
Altogether the convention passed of in a harmo-
nious and dieniGed manner. The whig party have
annually for c long time been accustomed to defeat
They hardly know what success is by experience,
but the bump of hope being strongly developed in
their craniums they now look forward to grand
jubilee in September; meantime having an eye to
the eight loaves and two fishes in the political bas
ket of this County 1t would at this time, crcum-
stances all considered be decidedly ungenerous to
mar their prospects, still in the opinion of the un-
dersgned complete success would occasion too
much joy in the whig phalanx, reaction take
place injurious in its effects and therefore the de-
mocracy may find justification in the idea that
practice makes perfect"
The wings have always, in this State been ''wait-
ing little longer" for opportunity at the public
crib; they know how to wait, they are accustomed
to it and will attain perfection' if their term Of
probation is extended long enough. Again to per-
NIT the wings to reach power would be dangerous
they too hungry and greedy And more, pub
lie pap is refreshing and agreeable to the palate. 1t
is provoking to think Of being choked oif-choked
off by wings too---choking off each other might
answer, pap remaining still in the family.
In view, then, of the case as it now stands, it
will be taxing the patience Of the democracy too
much to forego the luxury Of disappointing the
wings once more. Important results will flow out
Of the approaching election, and that the stream
should flow in democratic channels there can be no
doubt. The wings know nothing OF democratic
navigation, the ship of State, therefore should be
kept out Of their unskilful hands. True the ship
is nearly in ballast now but additions will soon be
made to the cargo, therefore let the hint be given
gently to the wings that they are not wanted on
board, that the cargo can be speedily discharged
without any Of their assistance. In September
sweep the decks fore and aft and fumgate from tie
keIson to the main truck CROW BAR.
