The Wing Meeting which took place in tho Town
Hall on Tuesday last is represented as afordng
scene of great richness Of course every thing was
harmonious Tin the published procecdings) Moth
ing is said in the official proceedings Of resolution
offered recommending Hon. Alfred Dockery, of
Richmond, as the choice of the wings Of Cumberland.
Nevertheless, We understand that such resolution
offered that wero for it and some against
it. and that division being called for, the latter
prevailed. At least it so decided, although some
be of opinion that if the votes had been counted ac
curately majority would have appeared in favor
of the resolution. We don't pretend to know any
thing about that. But the fact is patent that the
wings of Cumberland have refused to recommend
Gen. Dockery, though his recommendation was
passed upon them Why is this? Are they afraid
that the General is an open Conrention mans The
meetings of Richmond and Moore, which nominated
him, expressed desire for open Convention.
Perhaps this has given the wings of Cumberland a
slight scare Fayetteville Carolinian.

pented of their past SINS and to have given their
adhesion to the policy Of President Pierce for the
purpose Of sharing the spois We shall only hope
that they may be sincere, and win stick to their in
tegrity.
II as the Wing says the same principle which is,
involved in the Nebraska bill was also embraced in
the "compromise" of 1850, then those who advoca-
ted, as the Raleigh Register did, the compromise
of 1850 are bound to sustain the Nebraska bill ;yet
the Register is concerned because the Adminstra-
ton Of Gen. Pierce and Judge Douglas are standing
by the South, and "hardly knows, what to do.
That paper is emphatcally in bad way. We ad-
wise it to quiet its conscience and divert attention
from its course on this question by resuming its ad
svocacy of its favorite g British practices. !"
The Charlotte Whig speaks of Free Soil Democrats
being brought up to the support Of Judge Douglas

Rhgs of the free States Can it point out one hig

R The Washington Star says: We learn that
consultation or caucus Of the Senator's friends to
the Nebraska and Kansas BILL was held yesterday
morning. Thirty mine or forty members of the Sem
ate were present. They were not distinguished by
party affiliations or by any sectional classification.
1t was decided that fair chance should be given to
the opponents of the bill to debate it fully, but that
the bill should be passed to decision without delay,
and in preference to all other business before the
Senate We presume that like policy will be adop-
ted in the House, and that the passage of the bill
by the Senate it will be taken up Immediately in the
House. and if its supporters have the strength is
not doubted all other business will be postponed to
it. This Is wise course, as Congress can then go
on and settle the other matters before it without this
exciting subject creating obstacles to calm and dis
passionate consideration. We are informed that
another consultation of Senators was held this morn
ing.n There will no doubt be more debate upon the
bill in the House than in the Senate and we.do not
see any particular objection to it Thcbill based
it is ON the principle that the people of the Terrific

lines shall have the power when they form State

THE TRUE DOCTRINE.

We make the following extract from the files of
this journal (the Standard) Of june 26, 1850:
6 MR. SorLE's AMENDMENT. Mr.. Soule's amend-
ment to the /" Adjustment bill which passed the
Senate on the 18th instant, is as follows:
That when the new Territories shall be admitted
as States they shall be received into the Union with
or without Slavery, as their Constitutions may pre-
scribe at the time of their admission"
This is the true doctrine. 1t passed the Senate by
the following heavy majority:
n YEAs-Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Bell, Benton,
Berrien, Bright Butler, Cass, Clay, Clemens, Coop.
er, Davis of Mississippi, Dawson. Dodge Of Iowa,
Douglas, Downs, Foote, Houston, Hunter, Jones,
King, Mason, Morton, Norris, Pearce, Pratt, Rusk,
Sebastian, Shields Soulc, Spruance, Sturgen, Tur-
ney, Underwood, Wales, Webster, Whtcomb, Yulce
NArs--Messrs Baldwin, Chase, Clarke Davis Of
Massachusetts,, Dayton, Dodge of Wisconsin, Greene,
Hale, Miller, Smith, Upham, Walker-12."
Messrs. Badger, Cass, Douglas, Houston, and
Webster is perceived voted for the great principle
embodied in Mr.. Mr. Soule's amendment; and such
abolitionsts Chase, Hale and Davis voted against
nit Judge Douglas and Mr.. Cass are just where they
were in 1850 on this question; and We cannot see
how Mr. Badger, with this vote in his recollection,
can oppose the Nebraska bill
While upon this subject we quote as follows from
Mr.. Calhouns speech on the Oregon bill, delivered
iii the Senate in June, 1S4s:
:" After an arduous struggle of more than year,
on the question whether Missouri should come into
the Union with or without restrictions prohibiting
slavery, compromise line was adopted between the
North and the South but it was done under circum-
stances which made it nowise obligatory the lat
ter. It is true, it moved by on: of her dstin-
gushed citizens Ir Clay) but it is equally So that
it was carried by the almost united vote of the North
against the almost united vote of the South and
was thus imposed on the latter by superior numbers
in opposition to her strenuous efforts The South
has given her sanction to it. assened to the
power it asserted. She was voted down and simply
acquiesced in arrangement which she has had the
power to reverse, and which she could not attempt
to do without disturbing the peace and harmony Of
the Union to which she has ever been avcrse. Act
ing this principle, she permitted the Territory o
Iowa to be, and the State to be admitted into the
Union under the compromise, without objection
and this is now quoted by the Senator from New
York to prove her surrender of the power he claims
for Congress"
