THE WING PARTY.

We are grained 20 ma tne wing pdJ III
the city of New York, at this early day, de-
claring anew the principles on which they
have acted; and especially are we gratified to
see them declare that they are true to Demo
cratic Republican principles; they have wisely
taken the distinction that tae "PEoPLE HAVE
TRIuMPHED;" and we hope that those who
are hereafter elevated TO office, viii see, in the
late election, that there is power in the PEG
PIE TO rebuke the arrogant preteAsions OF those
who would substitute the will of the public
servant for that of their constituents
We copy from the New York Star the fol-
lowing:
"THE REJoICINGs AT LAFAYETTE HALL
The congratulatory meeting at Lafayette Hall,
on Saturday evening, was indeed a scene to
gladden. the heart OF patriot. Never did we
witness such enthusiasm-such eXultation.
The immense assemblage was organized by
the appointment ofDr. BoWron TO the chair, and
in few minutes afterwards that venerable
patriot and statesman, Peter r. Livingston,
appeared on the stand, and being loudly called
for, came forward and made a very excellent
and we'll timed speech He congratulated his
fellow citizens on the glorious democratic vic
tory which had Just been achieved, and dealt
some trenchant blows at the leading members
of the conspiracy party. His sarcasm on
Butler Hoyt and Co. kept the multitude in a
continual roar.
Mr.. Romeyn, of Ulster county, Samuel A.
Foote, Col Stone, Redwood Fisher. Theodore
E. Tomlinson, and A. N. Wells, Westchester
county, spoke with great power and cloquence.
Mr. Brown and Mr.. Webster, the Buckeye
yocaists, Messrs. Smith, Hoxie and jackson,
sung some of their best Tippecanoe songs,
which were received with deafening applause.
The following resolutions were adopted b" ac-
clamation:
Resolved, That the GLORIOUS VIcToRY
achieved by the People of this State, over the
partizans and supporters of the federal govern
ment, should inspire US with fresh confidence
in the Patriotism of the People, and confirm us
in the truth of that great principle, that our
Republican Institutions are securely based upon
the immutable doctrine of the EQUAL RIGHTS
OF MAN.
Resolved, That although we rejoice over the
brilliant success of GENERAL HARRISON, and
are thankful that under the banner of-THE
PEOPLE HAVE TRIUMPHED-we never
theless entertain no unkind feelings towards
the great body of those who, being deceived
By false promises, have supported the arbitrary
measures, and usurpations of the federal govern
ment; for we firmly believe they have done so
under misrepresentation of the real character
of the men they have supported.
Resolved, That we take this opportunity to
DECLARE TO THE WORLD, that the friends and
supporters of General Harrison, are what they
have always professed to be, the true and faith
full supporters of the Democratic Republican
principles advocated and maintained by those
illustrious apostles of democracy, Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. And we
consider the present contest precisely of the
same character with the great contest Of '98,
Uhen democracy triumphed oUer Federalism
with this difference, however, we believe the
Federal assumptions of the present National
Government, greatly exceed those of the FEEDER
al Administration Of the ELDER ADAMS.
Resolved, That this Triumph Of the people,
50 important in its results TO the present and
future generations should be marked by some
signal token of the gratitude of the people. 1t
is therefore respectfully recommended, that all
the Head Quarters ofthe friends of HARTaI-
SON be illuminated on Tuesday eUening nert,
the 10th instant, and three hundred guns be
fred at IL O'Clock noon, on that day. And that
the following persons be appointed committee
to make the necessary arrangements:
J. Philips Phenix Samuel Raymond,
Robert Smith, Francis Omstead,
Charles H. Delavan. John S. Bowron,
James J. Van Allen.
After giving nine cheers for Moses H. Grin
nell, the meeting adjourned.
