The Wings held their State Convention, on the 10th instant; and nominated their candidates for office. We copy, from the Gazette, that portion of their proceedings which gives the organization, list of delegates, candidates, &c. The remainder we will copy, next week. We will only remark, here, upon two features which seem to us to be very prominent in those proceedings The one is the caption of the proceedings, as reported in the Gazette, viz:

 '.LITTLE RooK, January l5, l941

 Pursuam to c call Of Me Pulaski Clay Club, in December last, the Wings of Arkan- sas met in Convention, on this day, in the hall of the House of Representatives, at 10 o'clock in the iorenoon.o

 So, then, it is true, and here confessed, that this mighty Convention was not called by the people of Arkansas; but by self constituted junto, the '.Clay Clubo of Little Rock. It is true, then, and here confessed, that this was not the spontaneous movement of the people; but train-band march in obedience to the orders of a self-elected chief, who sits here, in Little Rock, and issues his imperious commands! In connexon with this precious confession, 1t will be recollect- ed that according to announcement in the Gazette, the expenses of the Convention, while here, were to be paid for them; and a meeting of the aforesaid 'sClay Clubn was held to raise the necessary funds for that pur- pose. Here, we have the Convention as- sembled in obedience to the command. and at the expense, of the 'sClay Club.o It was, then, nothing more, nor less, than 'Clay Club" Convention Was it not bound to do the bidding of its authors and masters?

 The other most prominent feature is the nomination of Darid Walker, for Congress. Now, we would ask, sswhat manner of mann we will let the members of his own party those who are now required to support him for Congress, answer the question. What do they say of hims The 'sTimes and Advo- cateo alludes to him, among other trimmers and untrustworthy politicians, as ''sndden conpert to the constitutionality of National Bank" And yet the s'1'imes and Advocate'' is now required to support him, to the neglect and prejudice of able, faithful and iong-tried men!

 Again: writer in the Gazette, whom the Editor calls .san intelligent whig," in speak ing of this admirable specimen of Clay Club Whiggery, compliments him as follows: l ssBut, ,chat is kc9' Solomon of old, has
