GREET WING MEETING IN NEW YORK
| We refer the reader 60 the thrilling details of the
great popular movement in New York. Ia favour o.
Harry OF the Wost. The ball is now fairly in mo
ton. The people are once again tuning their ut
tention to public affairs and from the spirit they
display, they about TO enter upon the great
struggle with energy and determination, which
will secure the victory. HENRY CLAY is the
watchword. The people are rallying around thai
great patriot and statesman without the aid OF Con.
venions and artificial s,imuan,s; and in despite o
the inrigues OF politicians. He is their candidate
and with him they will sink or swim. Ia the Ian
guage OF Erastus Root-one OF the Jefferson cleo
| tors in lS00-they encourage each other; "I.ct us
| all, with one united voice, swear upon tho altar oil
our country, ia the foundation Of our independence
to support no other, and Henry Clay will be Presi.
dent of the United States"
The Wing party have taken their position. -
They have glorously refused to barter their prin-
eples for the spoils be,roy their country for 30
shekels Of silver. They have arrayed themselves
against the existing corrupt and imbecilo admin
,ration. They will receive no Office at its bands,
and they will assume responsibility Tor any OF
its acts. They have run up again the flag Of Re
of a sound currency, and national independence.
This is the Wing pOsition-Gentlemcn Locoiocos

these prineipiesl Are you for os against this Al

A categorical answer is desired. You have hub,

The New York American thus speaks of the
meeting:
NOMINATION OF HENRY CLAY.
"The Wing Meeting last evening was up TO the
highest antcipations of those who called and those
who attended It. The proper ground is now taken
that Of separating the Wings Ms a party from
John Tyler, or John TyieT's measures. IL has been
hue play for Loeofocoism to the weak and va
cillatlng head OF the Government into folly and
uenchery, and then cxclam to the country-lo,
Tor Wing measures, Wing reforms, and Wing pro-
mlses-see what they amount TO.
In the fulness OF their patriotism, the Wings have
for n time borne all things, hoping that something
at least might through such lorbearance be aohiev
td Tor the country. Laying aside all personal hopes
and personal resentments, they have been even
content TO bear tho repronch Of Tylerism-ihan
which what heavier reproach could be borne by an
honest and frank party while il was possible
that any OF the great Wing measures might he nd.
vanced or bcnohited by such course; but this
sell-denial has been IN vain. John Tyler disclams
being Whig-disclams responsibility for Wing
measutes-and the Wings will now discaim him.
Hence, the necessity, the urgency, Of the nomi-
nation made by reclamation last night. We are
now once more afooi, and ready for action, zeal
ous, perseveTins. unremitting acton. The VIII,
host with its ancient banner, and under its ancient
leader IS in the field again, in right earnest and we
mistake the signs OF the times" most exceedingly,
the voice pronounced last evening with such en-
thusiasn, be not re-echoed throughout the length
