lied By calling Mr.. A ]. Cannon TO the
chair and appointing John Beal Secretary
The President in few appropriate re-
marks, announced the object OF the meet
ing, to be. to consult together respecting
! the duty Of the members Of the Wing party
| in the present crisis, and to recommend 10
their fellow Wings throughout the country
the propiety of assembling together to take

After a short absence the committee
returned and through their chairman, re-
ported the following preamble and resolu.
tions.
That Whereas, The present administra-
ton of the Federal Government under the
self-styled Democratic partly has had
the effect Of estranging to degree the
people of the different sections of our be.
loved country, and by its acts has engen-
dered fearful sectional strife-which
threaten the very existence Of our beloved
institutions; by re-opening the agitation
Of the slavery question whereby an ihsig-
niicant party Of aboltionists and free soil
ers have been encouraged to agitate the
question supposed to be definitely settled
to the great danger IL not to the absolute
destruction Of our glorious Union.
Therefore be it
RESOLVED, 1st. That we, the members Of
the Wing Party oil East Baton Rouge,
never having other affiliations, in view Of
the alarming aspect 81 the sectional strife
now being waged, to secure to sectional
men, representing sectional interests. the
CONTROL OF the Federal Government, be-
lieve it duty incumbent upon US, to use
all honorable means in our power to defeat
SO unholY an object, and as the best means
of accomplishing SO desirable an end we
would recommend to all conservative
Wings ard Democrats throughout the
country, to faithfully, zealously aud heart
lily exert their best energies to secure if
possible, the election of this Conservative
Patriot and States WILLARD FILL
MORE, for President, and that sturdy
champion of Equal Rights. A. J. DONEL-
SON, for Vice President.
I'd, That the papers in Baton Rouge
friendly TO the cause of Fillmore and DoneI-
son, be requested to publish the proceed
ings of this meeting and that a copy be
forwarded to the National Convention to
assemble at Baltimore the present month.
These resolutions were adopted without
a dissenting voice.
On motion the meeting adjourned Sine
die. A. J. CANNON, Pres.

re- The Phonir Ledger, says The
Capitol, has been chartered to take
people from West Feliciana and Point
Coupee, to the Grand Ratification to
come of here on Saturday next, the
eth inst. The Ledger continues to
say, that the boat will leave Bayou
Sara at 8 o'clock A. Nj. and return the
same day-passengers each way one
dollar. This paragraph in the Led
gers notice il very significant.
" Persons DESTROYS Of attending the
Convention, by this arrangement, will
have d cheap and convenient mode |;
and besides, will not loose but one
day"
A better argument for all ito come
can be used. One day will be gained
instead Of being lost. Thus: people
who attend notifications, generally have
nothing to do at home. Therefore
when Great Ratification" is to be
given, and they attend it, it is just one
day made. Every thing is free on
such occasions furnished by office
holders and expectents; from the elk
er vitae, down to the staff of life itself.
A Dramatist Of old England, once
wrote play and called it, How to
Get Dinner" Then it was diff
cult matter to feed at any body elses
expense. Now, this nation, is 50 full Of
Patriots Of lofty desire, and philan-
thropists, that dinner can very often
be had for nothing. More than this, a
free passage to the feast can some times
be had on the same reasonable terms.
On Saturday next we expect the town
to Be Democratic, from one end, to
the other.

CRops IN MISSISSIPPI. The vicks.
burg Times Of the 9th ult., has the
following on this subject:
Wo were shown talk of cotton
from the plantation ofour fellow-citizen
Mr.. John Ferguson Of this county
which surpasses anything of the kind
we have ever witnessed. The stalk
numbered more than seventy hollis,
from the smallest to the largest size,
only five Of which came to maturity
the balance having been destroyed by
the" rot or something similar. We
earn frorn Mr.. Ferguson that it is a
general thing 10 his neighborhood -
We have also heard the same COM
plant from other portions Of the
county. The idea of an unusually
large crop to which some newspapers
have given currency, we think will
prove fallacious. We would take this
occasion to remark that it is highly
injurious to the planters Interest," (which
is the true interest of the South,) for
the press to send abroad statements
unfounded in fact in regard to the
crops. It cannot possible do good
but may and does do serious harm.
We learn from the st. Louis Intelli-
gencer that row occurred in that city
on the night of the Odd ut, between
party ofsteamboatmen and the police.
After some hard fighting the police
were victorious, nos however, before
one OF their number was shot in the
abdomen and very seriously wounded.
The person who shot him, an engineer
named Calvin Kelly, was beat until
be was helpless, and then taken to the
calaboose. Al last accounts, the police
man had died ofhis wound.
AFRICAN ARIsrocRAcY.-A .pious
negro, belonging to the Rev. W. Fl.
Watkins, Of Natchez, says the Con-
cordia Intelligencer, recently formed
Bible class among the slaves and free
negroes there, but just before the time

clined attending on the ground that
