The rreat forte of the Wings has been Boosting and
Dragging. 1t is a part of their stock in trade. They
boasted OF anticipated victories in '32-in "36-and they
are Dragging in high style no,o. The last Salem Ga
zette has hunted up an "amnsIng "reminiscences, being
the proceedings Of the great Wing Convention at Wor'
cester in 1882, "embracIng an Address 10 the People,
and the famous eye-acater speech of Mr.. Sunday Orator
Webster" We shall treat our readers with this pre-
cious relic MISUNDERSTANDING it is sufficient to state
that Mr.. President Silsbee and his assistants in the Con-
vention elected Mr.. Clay, all hollow; tconslderIng 1t
certain (as they then said, that Mr.. Clay would
pet 1914, and probably 1914 votes, out of2SS-and 10 IN
stead of Gen. jackson having only "a electoral votes, he
received gig! Instead of Clay's having 1914, he only
got 40! The Wings are now only boastlng IN a similar
Vein. and we should not be much surprised, if they
came out with similar success in November next.
Our friends in Virginia are %buoyant, ardent and con,
6dent of success. All the authentic accounts which
we receive (and all the Correspondence of the Central
Committee too passes through our hands,, is OF that
character. In addition to the other items we have pub
lished, our friends assure US, that IN henry, HARRISON
will get a smaller vote than the Wing did IN tne

Nicholas-that in Pittsylpan,a, Harrison VIII not gel

are ardent, and look for better times: Inc Nheei'hg
