GREAT WING MEETING IN NEW YORK,


Friday night formed new era in the history
of the WIG PARTY in the city of New York. "A
general meeting was called at Masonic Hall,
and long before O'Clock, the hour of assem-
bling, the great room, which will conveniently
accommodate upwards of fur thousand tre
hundred persons, was filled to overlooking.
On the nomination of Mr.. p W. Engs, Gulian
c. Verplanck was appointed President; Andre"
Sitcher, William Scott, William A. Thompson,
Jonathan Goodhue, Isaac Odell Abel Decker,
Hugh Sweeny, John Duer and Samuel Stevens,
Vice Presidents; and Robert Townsend, Jr.,
Theodore Crane James Watson Webb, Moses
Taylor and Thomas Adds Emmett, Secreta-
rieS.
At the same time the crowd below stairs was
so great that they demanded possession oil the
large room on the north side Of the Hall, which
which was instantly filled, and the meeting or
ganized by appointing Joseph Hoxe Chair
man, and Matthew l.. Davis Secretary. This,
however, accommodated but a small portion OF
those crowded out of the great room of the Hall,
and another meeting was thereupon organized
in the street, Of which Mr.. Akin was appointed
chairman. The reports and resolution adopted
by the principal meeting, were afterwards read
and adopted by the meetings below, which were
also addressed by several eloquent speakers.
We have witnessed, says the New York Cou-
rier all the large meetings which have assem-.
5ed in this city since lS27,-we have summer
ed and wintered at old Tammany in the days
of her greatest prosperity; but never have We
ax>ftt fro nn1o
the legal voters of New York, as that which
last evening responded to the Wing call, and
which cannot fail to carry terror and dismay in
to the ranks Of the enemy.
!, Mr. James G. King, in behalf of the Delega-
ton to Utica, read the report Of their discharge
of thearust confded to them, and introduced it
with a few pertinent and eloquent remarks.
Mr. Robert Walker, a shoemaker of the 9Th
ward, made most eloquent and able speech in
support Of Uhig principles and the cause of
the Constitution; and was followed by Messrs.
Elijah Payne, Hiram Ketchum and Dudley Sci
den. When the meeting was about TO adjourn,
James Watson Webb was called upon for
speech, and after few pertinent remarks, al
luding to the charge of the Wigs having exct-
ed the violence which occurred during the last
contest, concluded by offering the following re-
solution, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That the Merchants, Mechanics,
Manufacturers and others, who take an interest
in the triumph of Wing Principles, be respect
fully requested to close their doors after twelve
O'Clock on the three days of the approaching
election, and devote themselves to the success
of the great cause which has for its object the
preservation Of the Constitution, the Laws, and
the Liberties of the country.
The meeting was composed principally Of
the Mechanics and Working Men of the city,
and the enthusiasm which pervaded it is with
out a parallel in the history of city politics.
M,Ivr-The UaIowell Advocate of the 18th
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1834-09-23

MAvE.-The HaIIowell Advocate of the 18th
instant says: "In Hancock and Washington
Congressional district, Leonard Jarvis is proba-
bly, reelected by very small majority" The
same paper gives list Of 1872 Representatives
elected to the Legislature, &c of whom it sets
down as Wings, and IS as Administration men.
It adds: " Fifty -four not heard from, most of
whom will be Jackson men. The Jackson ma
iority in the House will be diminished about one
half"
The Augusta Age (Jackson) ofthe 18th gives
returns of votes for Governor from all the towns
in the State except twenty. The result is, 81
279 votes for Dunlap; Sprague, 33,O95; scatter
ing 100 The same paper gives the names of
1874 Representatives, II ofwhom it sets down as
Jackson, and 81 as Wings. In the Senate the
Jackson majority is 5.
1t will hardly be necessary to follow these re-
turns any further. The result of the whole mat
ter is, that the Wings have made noble ad-
vance in that State, but not sufficient to elect
their candidate for Governor, or to give them a
majority in either branch of the Legislature.
They have, however, gained one Congressman,
and in another district there is no choice. The
Congressional votes stand thus: Wings 2, Jack
son S, one vacancy.

CONTAGIOUSNESS OF CHOLERA.

Those who have hitherto disbelieved
that Cholera was contagious, we should
think would find much in the occurren-
ces of the present season to make them
doubt, and to induce them carefully to
review the grounds Of their belief. 1t
first appeared as III 1882, in Quebec, a
mong emigrants from Ireland, where the
cholera prevails. In a few days after
wards, il was at Montreal. Thence it
has travelled regularly westward, shew-
ing itself at most of the principal places
on the great line of inland water commu-
nication, till it has reached Detroit
Southwardly it has spread as far as the
city of New-York. This is precisely
the course it took in 1882, following the
great travelling routes, and spreading
but little in other directions. But what
gives it peculiarly the appearance Of u
contagious disease the present season is,
that it has appeared and spread without
being preceded by the epidemic inhu-
ence," OF which so much was said in
1889. On the contrary, the general
health Of the places in which it has
shewn itself is remarkably good. The
remarkably healthy state Of the city oI
Newly ork, is standing subject Of re-
mark in the newspapers Of that place,
and one Of them said day or two before
the cholera appeared, that ifit should be
brought there, it could find nothing tc
subsist upon, the health Of the people was
so unusually good. 1t cannot, therefore
be said that it has been generated by the
unhealthy state of the city. We believe
the opinion that the disease is contagou:
is becoming more general than formerly
That it is, where they have the best op'
portunities for judging, may be seen by
the following extract from an article il
the Montreal Vindicator
II Physicians may quarrel about wheth.
er Cholera be DIsEAsR--whethe it bI
EPIDEMIC, or whether it be CONTAGIOUS
for ourselves, we believe it to be all
When men fall suddenly i'll, and die in 1
few hours, we believe in the presence o
disease. When this generally prevailing
plague affects great numbers in every
part of the city, we believe it to be epi
demic, and when mortality becomes uni.
versally greater among persons exposed
to contact with sick people, than among
those who keep more a!oof, we believe
It to be contagious. We mean not to say
that Cholera is contagious, in the sam'
degree as the measles, or small pox; bu
we know that experience Of years ha
proved it to be amazingly contagious
and that DocToRs, the most dogmatica
of all men, are becoming Of one opinion re
garding this point.

Mans Love.

When woman's eye grows dull,
And her cheek paleth,
When fades the bedsiiful,
Then mans love faileth;
lie sits not beside her chair,
Clasps not her fingers,
Twines not the damp hair,
That o'er her brow fingers.
lie comes but a moment in,
Though her eye ligh,ens,
Though her cheek, pale and thin,
Feverishly brighlens;
he stays but moment near,
When that flush fadeth,
Though true affections tear
Tier soft eyelid shadeth.
lie goes from her chamber straight
Into life's jostle,
He meets at the very gate
Business and hustle;
lie thinks not Of her within,
Slightly signing,
lie iorgets IN that noisy din
That she is dying!
And when her young heart is still,
What though he mournelh,
Soon from his sorrow chill
Wearieth he turne,h;
Soon o'er her buried head
Memory's light setleth,
And the true hearted dead,
Thus man forgetteth I!

WOlnan's Love.

When man is waxing frail,
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his lips are parched and pale,
And wan and white his check;
Oh, then doth woman prove
Her constancy and love!
She siasth by his chair,
And holds his feeble hand;
She watcheth ever there,
Ills wants to understand;
Ills yet unspoken will
She hasteneth 10 fulfil.
She leads him, when the noon
Is bright Ger dale or hill,
And all things, save the tune
OF the honey bees, are still
Into the garden bowers,
To sit midst herbs and flowers.
And when he goes not there,
To feast on breath aud bloom,
She brings the posy rare
Into his darkened room;
And meath his weury head
The pillow smooth doth spread
Until the hour when death
His lamp Of life doth dim,
She never wearieth,
She never leaveth him;
Still nesr him night and day,
She meets his eye alway.
And when his trials Ger,
And the turf is on his breast,
Deep in her boson's core
Lie sorrows unexprest;
Her tears, her sighs, are weak
Her settled grief TO speak.
And though there may arise
Balm for her spirits pain,
And thou h her quiet eyes
May sometimes smile agaiE--
Slill-still, she must regret,
She never can forget.

FoR THE CURIOUS GRAMMARIAN.-
There is some ingenuity in the grammat-
ical play upon the word THAT, IN the fol-
lowing lines which we copy from the
Cattski!l Recorder, though they do not
appear to be original in that paper. One
would hardly believe it possible, without
seeing an example, that any word in the
English language, was SO variable in its
Specification, that it might be used seuen
times in succession, without any interven-
ing word, and yet preserve sense and
grammatical correctness. The last line
but one, contains the word THAT seven
times, which may be parsed as follows:
The first is conjunction; Cd is de-
monstrative adjective pronoun, agreeing
with the Sd; the Sd is noun, the nom.
NATIVE to IS in the following line; the 4tl
is a demonstratve adjective pronoun a
greeing with the 5th, the 9Th is nour
in opposition with the Sd; the 9th is re-
lative pronoun referring to the 5th for it.
antecedent, and governed by began; ant
the 7th is noun and governs began.
GRAMMATICAL TAyToLoGY.
I'll prove the word that have made my theme,
Is that that may be doubled without blame;
And that that that thus trebled may use,
And that that that that critics may abuse
May be correct Further the Dons to bother
Five that's may closely follow one another!
For be it known that we may safely write
Or say, that that that that that man writ was right
Nay, cen that that that that that that follow'd

low'd;
