Yesterday was the day for the Great Barbe-
sas given by the Clay Club of this County
H. Wing Members of Congress Monday, the
,y that most persons started for this, was so nn-
8aso able--rainy all day--that many staid at heme
,ho otherwise would have come here. suppose
.ssre were al least 10 600 here in the morning,
EaLicb was fine as Old Sol could make it. A pro-
s,s.:ion was formed in which suppose there were
E,,Ieast &. .000 persons. At 10 o'clock speaking
Ma commenced in the State House yard. In less
Htban no time the yard was full (four acres.) Ex-
taGggernor METcALF opened the meeting, made
s,aTne happy remarks, aud stood back for GALLANT.
.SHARsY, the giant Of the Wings. He spoke about
lare hour in favor of the great measures of the
'HWbes. including Protective Tariff, which he add
3socated with great ability and dignity. Colonel

sgsn /. w. ASpRgws, M. c., and other distin-
Matched gentlemen. addressed the meeting, after

s,he immense assemblage. Old Kentuck has got

asandidate for Congress from the Second District,
\ aln addition to the Office he now holds made
lpsech lately in Brooklyn, in which ne endeayored
somystify the Tariff question by the usual incl
sasutan .juggles of his party. In that speech he
Isnpldenlly and dishonesty asks the questions;
nBat uhy talt of Protection Has not the Tarig bill
EaaAssED!"
& Yes, sir, it has beenpassed by a Wing Congress,
mr party resisting i, and declaring t'at they will
@aYsgl it as soon as they get power. You, Mr.
urpby, are in the habit of reading the two Posts,
HHebeian, &c.. and know that they revile and exc
9Tste Protective Tariff and call vehemently for
RM MRepeal. You know that the Loco-Foco Rep
ssentatiye from you,. District voted against Pro-
Election in every stage and form. You know that
SMr Roosevelt Of this District in the present Con-
sgsss boaslingly predicted that the next would be
BaDemocratic Free Trade Congress, and would
f,epeal the Protective features of the Tariff. You
sknow that Mr.. Van Buren, recently TO Southern
sysitcr "spoke against The Tariff and commented
son Tic. .foLy Of the Vhigs in passing sach a mea-
tsare.p You know that not merely the great mass
sof your party but the very genius, the fundamen-
stal principle of Focois, is hostile the Fro
Elective policy And yot you, sir, seek TO oece'sc
ihe voters Of your District into the belief that the
oueson O, Protection is not involved in the pend
ling contest Every Loco-Foco paper issued IN
H,his City proclaims you deceiver OF the People!

As 10 Connecticut, the division is about the
gony one that could have been made, and We
don't see what particular generosity the Locos
have manifested therein. They have given them

Rwhatm more could they do7 If they carry the State
sy 1000 next Spring they will take al four of the
Members; if the Wings carry it by 1000, we
shall have . or 3 of the A. Is there any magma
