THE YOUNG MEMS WING CONVENTION
We had the pleasure, Of attending the Sec
ond meeting Of this Association on Monday
evening, and cannot fail TO express our gratlca-
ton at the proceedings of the evening Know
ing something of the spirit which has nantes
ted itself, in various ways, among our Young
Men, we expected good deal on this occa-
sion,and are free to admit, that we were not
in the least disappointed in our high expeeia-
lions. We cannot in this brief notice speak oil
half that was said or done on the occasion, but
will allude TO some of the proceedings
our Wing friends in this County and State
may see, that the Young Men Of Braitleboro
are not behind the times; and we fully believe
if the Wings en- musse in this Stale will do
their duty, as faithfully us the young men OF
this vilage-Harrison and Tyler riU carry
fhe State by more than COCO majority.
The Association was notified to meet at
seven o'clock. At about half past six, our
ears were greeted with the sound of martial
music, play ing the good old tune Of Yankee
Doodle. Casting our eyes down Main Street
we noticed quite procession composed OF
the members of the Association and Others
Wewere struck with surprise.as the procession
passed us, at the sight of one Of the fines,
miniature LOG CABINS we have ever seen. il
was perfect in every respect-and reflects a
great deal Of cred, on its ingenious builder,
Mr. S. L. Foster Of this village, who deserves
all praise for the good style in which il was
got up. Over the Log Cabin we noticed dis
play Of aags-near The door Of the same, bar
rel labelled "Hdrd Cider,n with good Tap
We did not have an opportunity to try the
Juice il any there were conclude It must
have been of The hard kind. After passing up
Main Street some distance, the procession re-
turned, and halted in front of Wheeler's Hall,
giving three hearty cheers for the Log Cabin.
The members then adjourned TO the Hall;
which was at once crowded to overlooking.
The meeting was called 10 order bythePresi-

marks, called for the business Of the evening.
Mr. ID. M. Kimbal read the address Of the
Young Men Of Baltimore TO the Young Men
of the United States" which was received
with applause. The GLEE entitled the Spent

from different members, which vel have not
room to notice-as whole-among others,
however, was the following.
"Resolved, That we lock forward with
pleasure to the day, which we believe is not
Tar distant, when Martin Van Buren, will "foi.

Several sentiments were also offered on the
occasion, we notice the following

mention of which causes dreadful nausea in
every Loco Focos' stomach; the only tonic
which can set them right is dose Of "HaIri-
