WING MEETING AT COURT.
From "A, Characteristic .1dveea',.

From "a, Chsrloi; svais .7dvoea's
We are glad to learn that the proposed WING
meeting on Monday next. meets with the hearty
appreciation OF the irieods OF the cause In the dit
ierent parts Of the county. We hope, notwi,h
staining their engagements at home, the people
will be out in their strength, ready and anxious to
lend their voice. loud and deep, TO the general tone
OF hope and confidence, by which true Wings arc
every where animated, in their noble eSertcns, TO
restore more to the country, the blessings Of
a sound and honest administration OF the govern
ment and TO repair the heavy injuries already IN
Acted on the public prosperity. The conviction
Is fastened on every rejecting mind, and sustained
by the concurrent testimony OF the whole Wh,e
Party, that the election TO the Presidency oil HEN.
RY CLAY, of Kentucky. can alone, under Pro.
videncc achieve this noble beneaction for a sufer-
ing country. The question thus becomes OF far
gtea'er magnitude than one Of mere party ascen-
dency In lis decision are involved the gravcst
obsati oil the citizen and the highest duties of
the patriot. wings cannot hesitate as TO the
they should pursue and We take it for granted that
he, who apprccisting the crisis and knowing It's
dangers and duties is unwilling 10 rally TO the sup
port OF the only individual in the nation whose
long experience eminent abilities. and disnterested
and devoted patriotism, give ample earnest of his
disposition and power to save the Republic, is un
worthy OF association with the Wing party and had
better rcnounce the name. We cannot regard, nor
does the greet whg party Of $40, regard Gny man
as identified with the support and maintenance Of
the great principles involved in that memorable
contest, who. with the lights OF the pas, and pre-
sent before him, is unwilling to record his vote for
MIR Cay for the Presidency; for, rs was happily
expressed by Mr. Tallm ,dge recently in New York,
his career is living embodiment OF the principles
and policy commended for by tho Wings.
This is no time for the timid suggestions Of de-
lay. The friends Of MIR Clay have always per-
mitted his cause and his claims to suffer by mis-
taken acquiescence in certain prudential arrange
mcnis looking to delay, future devclopements, sc.
We scout all such policy as unworthy OF the cause
and the man. and founded upon gross mistake as
TO the grasp which, above all men, he holds upon
public affection, confidence and hope. Besides
we have no option. The issue is precipitated upon
us: The people are moving in masses on the sub.
iect Of the Presidential nomination, throughout this
whole confederacy. None are looking TO any re
nomination OF the present tenant by sUffcrance OF
the White House. The note of eparation has al
ready been sounded by the other party and sharp
discussion of the relative claims OF aspirants in
their ranks is already begun.
The Wings throughout the Union are beginning
to express themselves with hrmness and nrdor.
The popular interest on the subject cannot lie 70
pressed nor ought It to be- for the present admins.
ation gives nothing hope for and 1t is both right
and natural that we should look for relief TO the
future.
HEaRr CLAY has already been nominated for
the Presidency in 1874 by State Conventions in n.
Carolins, Georgia, Marylan Ohio, New Jersey,
New York, Delaware and Massachuseits-V rgi,
MIA will hesitate no longer Already meetings have
been held in the principal counties in this State
others are in eontemplation-a surely the native
home of the great Statesman ought not to be the
LAST to follow in the wake Of such "illusrious
predecessors"
Then LET OH ALBENARLE SPEAK CUT, and at
the meeting on Monday next, shew TO all that she
knows wha, is due 10 her own fame AND THAT
SHE MEANS TO DoIT!
