THE GATHERING At MILTON.

If it were not one of the common fea-
lures Of the present political contest, to meet
in large numbers, We might say much OF the
gathering at Chcckcrbury Green, on Sat
urday, the 20th ult. The Wings of Old Chit
tondon were there in large numbers, who
greeted not a feW.lrom Grand Isle and
Franklin counties IA procession was al
ready formed whom we arrived, escorted by
band Of music, with flags and banners un-
furled, scattered through tho whole line.
Having marched around the Grocn, it pro-
coodcd to an open field, just cast Of tho vii
lago, where a platform was raised for the
speakers. The assemblago was addressed
by Mossrs. Whtmorc of Milton, Marsh,
Adams and Allen Of Burlington, Stevens Of
ST Adams, Gallusha Of Gcrico, and Hale
Of Chelsa. Andso great was tho interest Of
the audience, that most of them listened,
standing all the while under a hot sun, for
about five hours.
The audience was partly composed Of a
large number Of ladies, who, seated in front
Of the orators, seemed much interested in
tho speeches delivered. There could have
boon no doubt but their sympathy was en-
listed in tho glorious cause Of Harrison and
Reform. presentation Of a beautiful
ly wrought bauuer to tho Tippecanoe Club
with patriotic address is sure proof that
the wings Of Milton arc encouraged by the
sympathy and smiles Of tho Fair. Tho BAN
ner was of silk, with a beautiful flower
wrought in each corner, and on the lower
edge, near the centre, was a group of flow
ers with these significant inscriptious-on
one side, " WE FEAR NOT rovERTY-BUT DIS
DAM SLAVERY and on the other, "THE
LIBERTY WE ENJoY--FoRGEr NOT IT'S CoSr.

FINE TOAST FROM 4 LADY.

At Barbecue, near Collins Ferry in
Campbell, the following splendid toast was
sent by a lady Of Halifax, whom we war
rant to be worthy to have been the mother Of
Brasdas:
By Lady Of Halifax. The Young Men
of Campbell; In tho cause of Harrison, "brng
back your shield or be brough, upon it,"
b. tho way, in various parts of the coun'
try tho ladies are beginning to attend tho pub
lie discussions which are every whore oc-
curing. We hope the practice will become
general. Their presence is calculated to
"koep the peace" and somewhat tame down
the angry ychcmonco of the contest; and
more and better than that, to implant Wing
principles, the love of Liberty and Consti.
tuition, hatred of tyranny and dctestatol
of man-worshp, in the bosoms Of the inian
generation. The ladies' are wonderfully
unanimous in their devotion to the Viii!
cause Even many ofour warmest Demo

Prone as they are to admire Tabourets, anC
Gold Spoons, and Wilton Carpets, and En-

The Wings of Vermont have achieved the
most glorious victory that has yet been won by
the dauntlcss band Of G'rccmon who arc battling
for their county We have beaten Kentucky

expectations but those Of every body else. We
have swept the board high and dry. We hare
c0rried 0ir Whole Congressional Dclegation!
the Tory vote in the Senate will range from
one to three! In the House it will not rise
above .toriyH tensions majority for Governor
will exceed TEN THOUSAND VOTES!!!
Young's majority in this Congressional District
will run above 1901! NIattocks beats Fletcher
in the 9th district by handsome majority, while
Everett, Hall, and Slado, are returned by a vote
largely augmented. Such is the verdict of the
People of the gallant and inyincible state Of
Vermont. Who will deny her claim to head
the line of states which have arrayed themselves
in opposition to the spoilsmen! Deny it who
will, she proudly and fearlcssly asserts it. She
nerer 'caS conquered. While all around her
were treacherous and false, she alone maintain
ed her integrity. Who does not love and honor
the gallant little State Mr.. Silas Wright jr.
lately said in a stump speech in Newly ork,
that his correspondents in Vermont had assur-
ed him that Governor Jenison would certainly be
Afeatc&! Query. Who are his correspondents!

VICTORY VICTORY
Ga such day,
So foiiGht so fnlloMld and SO fnirlY won

GA such q day,
So fought, so follow'd and 50 fairly won,
Came not TIL now to dignity tho times.
We have received complete returns of
our late Election, so far as the Legislature
is concerned, and lack only the veto of Cho-
wan and Tyrrel, to ascertain our exact ma
jority for Governor. 1t will bo seen that
out Of 10 Members, the Wings have car
ried 10i!-being clear majority Of SO on
joint ballot. Ofth,s majority, there were
1 in the Senate, and "a in the House-suifi-
GENTLY decided in each branch to carry out
those measures connected with The great
interests Of the countrH. Our present ma
jority for Governor, it will appear from the
Table, is near S,OOO-and the counties to
hear from, being both Wing to the core,
will swell itup to abou, $500! ifthis is not
doing the thing gonteclly, then We are no
dye Of such matters.
We regard this triumph as moro impor-
tant in ls consequences, as doing more to-
wards the effective prostraton ofthis odious
Administration, than any event which has
occurred since Gen. Harrison's nomination,
Yes, indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Con-
nectcut, Virginia and Alabama, have all

that some Of our friends abroad entertained
doubts about this state, but we think her po-
sitIon is now so "coarly Defined" that nc
one will again doubt her claim to precedence
in the front rank Of Wing States. And oul
people arc steady people-consistcnt, eau
tous and hrm-sow to make up their opin-
ions, but when once formed, always fearless
in the avowal Of them. Our State, it will be
recollcctod, was among tho last to come
into the Union, but when has she ever fall
tered in her allegiance to it!
One word more. Con. Harrison is stronger
in North Carolina, than ever our own highly
gifted MoRgHEAD. Instead ofhis, or any
other Wing candidate carrying OLD TIP
the Hero has carried them, by the resistles'
force oGhis own popularity.
