Week before last, Convention Of old-line
Wings assembled at Richmond, Virginia, and
nominated Wm. FL. Groggin, formerly mem-
Der Of Congress, for Governor. Among those
who were present at tho Convention, We no.
tice the names of A. II. Stuart, Secretary of
the Interior under Mr.. Fillmore, and John N !.
Bolts. The latter made speech, in which
he, in substance, said, that if the Republicans
should nominate 'Crittenden. or Bell, or Bates
of Missouri for President in 1860, the South
ern Wings and Americans would support the
candidate. ssThe sentiments of Mr.. Critten-
den, and OF Mr.. Bell, on the great questions of
the day. remarks the n. Y. Tribune, esare
well known to the public, but, Judge Bates
having been less prominent in political life,
from having devoted himself for years TO his
judicial duties, it is proper to state that he was
formerly Henry Clay Wing, and, like Henry
Clay, an Emancipationist. With such vievs
he was elected TO Congress thirty years ago.
aud, however his opinions may have been mod
ified on other subjects, with regard to the Sla-
very question, We believe they remain un-
changed. He publicly opposed the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, and earnestly de-
nounced the Lecompton fraud when that was
going forward; and is now member of the
Emancipationist, or Free-State, party of Mis-

CORRESPONDENCE of the Journal


S. b.. Row, ESQ Dear Sir: By your per-
mission, will encroach upon your time and
space, and give you few facts concerning
things generally, in this part of our county
For the last two OF three weeks we have
been favored with excellent slelghing, which
was very essential to the fun-loving portion of
our community, as well as to the fumbermen,
who were busily engaged during its short stay.
The weather getting slightly excited, and
growing warm on the subject, the snow de-
camped, leaving Us sticking in about eight
inches of excellent mud, caused by the heavy
rains which accompanied its departure.
Yesterday, Uhe 1Stt,) was the day on which
the spring election was held, to elect town
ship officers, &c. The day was high one,
and n stranger might have supposed upon ar
irving in our little town, that he had mistaken
his way, and had wandered into the world-re-
nowned Kansas, about the time that the sage of
Wheatland, and his .stin kettIe,'' which is at
tached TO his skirts-s'tbe nations Senator
were trying to force the Lecompton Constitu-
tion upon the people of that unhappyTerrtory.
The Loco Focos voted upon the Crawford
System m"-whethcr they would continue it, or
whether they would adopt the Delegate Sys-
tenn. OF course, each side had It's advocates,
who were steadily working for their cause. 1t
was truly amusing to one who was not engaged
in the fight, to see this motely crew, struggling
TO free themselves from the snares which they
had laid for their own feet. AT length, they
became SO high upon the subject, that each
party got a wooden bucket, upon one Of which
was written ssCrawford,'' and on the other
delegate" These buckets were carried a
round by the leaders, followed by their adhe-
rents, voting when conrcnieHt, until the shades
of evening gathered over this second Kansas,
and brought the parade to close, which was
followed 10y some 'sgrGad and lofty tumbIing
in the rim ng''-the bar room. There were
quite number of performers present, IN
der the control Of the ring master, s'Old
Sirychnine' who was generally on top.
heard some of the leaders, as supposed,
say, that the '.Crawford' party when they
thought they had a majority in their favor,
closed the polls but upon counting off the
votes, they discovered they were behind, AT
which juncture they Immediately re-oPened
rious. Not !being in the mix, L could not
vouch for the truth of this part, but one thing
1 do know, ssCrawford'' carried the day, by
some means Verify we might ezclaim-''Y at
a country-vat beeples."
