possible TO give even a sketch OF the eloquent
address of this most distinguished son OF the

high reputation of the orator, and OF the State

| Honor 10 The Heroes Of the Reroiu'ioa.-The
Wing Convention having been honored by
the presence of goodly number Of the few
survivors of the Revolution, the Wing State
Central Committee were desired to propose a
time and place at which the Wing Delegates,
in body, should have it in their power 10 pay
their respects to these venerable fathers OF
their political faith A meeting at Faneuil
Hall, at 10 O'Clock, this morning, having been
appointed, for that purpose, the Old Cradle
was filled to overlooking in few moments
after the doors were thrown open. The Hon.
Daniel Webster, President Of the Convention,
after brief but thrillngly eloquent address to
the venerable men by whom he was surround
ed, introduced by Mr.. Robins, of Rhode Island
J IA Revolutionary officer, and for many years a
Senator in Congress,) who, although toitering
under the infirmliics Of age, addressed the
assembled multitude with astonishing power
} and effect,
After the glorious old hero had resumed his
seat, the President introduced the Hon. Philip
Hone, formerly Mayor of New York, who was
) olectriiying the audience with his sallies OF
wit and humor, when we left the Hall. Mr..
J ii. caused good deal of mirlh, by stating, at
the outset, that, after seeing what ne saw yes
terday-the waving Of banners and handker-
chiefs by fair hands, and the flashing of bright
eyes-he did not deem it at all necessary for
him to urge the Wings of the Bay State 10 re-
double their efforts in a good cause for, il
they did not do their duty, he was sure their
wives, and daughters, and sisters, and sweet
hearts, would not let them rest 10 peace
After witnessing the spectacle of yes,erdy, he
could not conceive how any man can be
Locofoco. For his part he had good Wing
wife. and, were he, by any strange chance, tc
be transformed into Losoioco, he should be
ashamed 10 go home
Since the above was in type we learn that
Mr. Hone was followed by Mr.. Dorson, oil
Michigan, Mr.. Eastman, of New Hampshire,
and several other gentlemen, when, at about
quarter pas, /, the meeting was adjourned
10 O'Clock this evening.
