ST LOUIS.
The Wings of the above named thriv-
ing and patriotic city held an interesting
political meeting on Wednesday evening
last, at which several appropriate resolu-
tons were unanimously passed. The ut
most harmony and good feeling pervaded
the meeting, and number of pertinent
addresses were delivered There was a
becoming respect shown to the feelings
of their opponents, which we consider
highly commendable. 1t will be seen by
the following that yesterday was the day
set apart for their Thanksgiving.
The Wings of St. Louis deeply SYM
pathizing with the wing party of the Uni
ted States, and entering fully into all that
enthusiasm of feeling now pervading the
friends of political reform, inspired by the
recent triumph obtained in the elevation
to the Presidential chair of the hero, pat
riot and statesman, General WILLIAM H.
HARRISON, and to the Vice Presidency,
the distinguished civilian, john TYLER;
not so much on their account as for the
success Of the principles of Reform in the
administration Of the Federal Government
which expect to see thereby introduced;
therefore, to testify, in some measure,
their feelings on this occasion.

the 25th day of November, be set apart

In addition to the above, the following
we'll msrited preamble and resolution
