The National WING Convention.

FROM tue fSaiumore American, Aug T.
Movements are beng made in various states, re-
sponsiye TO the suggestion of the Virginia Wa!g
Convention for u national convention OF the wings
Of the Union to be held in Baltimore on the thrd
Wednesday in september. The good effects of the
Mary land and Virginia old line whig Conventions
visible everywhere. Their proceedings have in
fused new spirit into the noble old whig party.
Every man Of them feels that he stands on firmer
they have high and hoty dus'es to rform, ana thew
are encouraged, by the signs of the times that their
lab0rs viii not be in vain.
The Wing State Committee OF New York have
responded to this call for national Wing Conyen-
ton, and delegates to represent the Empire State
will doubtless be chosen by the State Convention
which is to meet at Albany on the 18th Of this
month. Arrangements should therefore be imme
diately made for the appointment of delegates 20
represent the State OF MaryIand TO meet viii "a
contingency authority was given u Judge Weise, Of
Washington county the President OF our State Con
vcnon, 70 call that party together again which he
will doubtless do at an early day. The Wing Con-
vention to be held in Massachusetts, during the pre-
sent month will also appoint delegates and there is
every reason to expect that nearly all the States Of
the Union-NoIth and South, East and Wcst-wiil
be fully and ably represented, and a free and I'M
doubted expression OF the whig sentiment OF the
country be formally proclaimed. The popular vote
cast the last Presidential election for Gen. Scott
reached the respectable number OF one million three
hundred thousand-suifcieGt we should think, az

overthrow all sectionalism by the pure nationality

We perceive that there is movement making in
Philadelphia for Convention Of the wings Of Penn
syvaDia for the representation of that State ia The
proposed National Convention as also in Delaware,

We also perceive by the m1ils received yesterday,
that the wbigs of Illinois have elected delegates To
the National Convention to asse nole in Baltimore
and that delegates have been elected from the seve.

BUCCANEERS HEADED oFF-GARMANs FOR FRE-
MoST.-We are informed that number of Ger
mans of this city met at the house of Mr.. Boad-
man last night, on the call of few of their
countrymen, whose object was the organization
these woud-be leaders, when it was ascertained
that all present except four were opposed to the
aggressions of Slavery and in favor of Fremont
for President? The majority were promptly
told by the minority that they had no business
at the meeting-it was called for the purpose of
forming Buchanan Club, and all opposed to the
object were intruders. The friends of freedom
accordingly left the house, and repaired to the
residence of Mr.. Octar, where the preliminary
steps towards the organization of Fremont
Club were taken. These circumstances, which
we have from undoubted authority, substantiate
our recent statement that the Germans in this
city are decidedly in favor of Fremont
The work goes bravely on. There is not
money enough in the Treasury of the United
states were it all poured out, to buy the suffra-
ges the free working men of Iowa in favor of

PRICE OF "N1aGERs." The First Families "
of Virginia are evidently looking toward to the
period, when, as their Governor confidently as
sures them, the election of Mr.. Buchanan will
"advance the price of niggers to five thousand
a head"
The Richmond papers state that during the
last three mouths the price of slaves in that city
has been higher, and the demand for them great
er, than was ever known before The Dispatch
says:
"Prime field hands (womcn) will now bring
from 81, 900 to 81 100, and men from 81, $50 to
$500. Not long since a likely negro girl sold
in this city at private sale for $1,000. A large
number of negroes are bought on speculation,
and probably there is not less than s2,O00,O0O
in town now seeking investure in such prop
erty." D..

'THE LYING SCouNDREL !"---SSmall use is there
IN bandying words with great blackguard, Or
contendng with great liar. 1t is about as USE
less to attempt to confound the first, as it is to
dispute the second. But when both dualifica-
tions or accomplishments, are possessed by the
same person, any controversy with him, is upon
very unequal terms, and it is perhaps as we'll, as
q general rule, to leave him alone in his glory.
1t has been the practice, in organizing the ter.
rltores from our earliest history, to give to for
eign born residents, who have declared their in.
tentons to become citizens, the right Of suffrage.
This right was given in the Kansas-Nebraska
bill OF 81, as it had been in all preceding bills
But in order to conciliate the Southern Know
Nothings, Democratic Senate repealed this fea-
ture Of our territorial legislation in the Toombs
bill which recently passed that body. This, is
well known to every body. The editor of the
Gazette knew it just as well as he ever new any
thing. And vet to contemporary who makes
the statement just as we make it above, and just
exactly as the facts are, he applies the language
at the head of this article Intelligent demo-
Gratis of Burlington, and of Iowa, are you not
ashamed of your Organ? Do you expect a par
ty to derive any benefit from such monstrous
perversions oftruth? Does the advancement of
good cause require or justify such barefacsd
lying? 81.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ACCESSION Alexander
kayser, one of the leading Democrats and most
influential Germans of Missouri, has come out in
a stirring letter to his fellow Germans, in favor
Of John G. Fremont. He SAYS: s
81 confess am SO constituted that the un-
punished outrage on Mr. Sumner has more deep
ly shaken my faith in the democracy of the pres
ent administration, than all their other delin-
quencies put together. want to see such yul-
gar conduct reprimanded, and I, as an old and
true democrat, of sixteen years standing, as late
Pierce elector, would respectfully request Mr.
Buchanan to make known his sentiments on
Parliamentary cudgeling, and whether free and
enlightened America is to relinquish the, glori-
Gus emblem Of the stars and stripes, for an en-
blazonry Of clubs and slung shots.''

Col. Benton made speech in johnson Co., No.,

OF law and right The elective franchise, was
the basis of their whole political fabric, and
terrible crime was perpetrated when it was sub
jected to violence. The purity and freedom of
