Oy-The adjourned meeting Of the Wing Young
men Of Litchfed was holden 1t the Mansion House
in this village on the evening of the I4th instant.
A goodly number were in attendance and the pro-
ceedings were spirited and interesting. A com.
mittee appointed for that purpose at a preceding
meeting reported the draft Of Constitution for the
formation of aiDemocratie Wing Club of the Young
Men of Litcheld favorable to the election of Hen
ry Clay Of Kentucky 70 the Presidency of the Uni
ted States, which was approved and signed by all
present. To enable person to become member
in full it is necessary that he should be between
10 and 40years Of age, but older citizens may con-
stitute themselves honorary members at any time
by subscribing the Constitution. We wish this
last fact to be distinctly understood, we shall
need the counsel and assistance of THE Fathers
in the great work of regenerating the country
The meeting now stands adjourned to Thursday
the 2sth inst. when the Club will convene at the
Mansion House precisely at o'clock p. NJ. for the
purpose of electing officers and to transact other
business. We hope the attendance will
be universal and punctual. Wings Of Litchfeld!
let US enter at once upon the work Of preparation
for the contest and success will crown our efforts.
Nrs-We ask attention. to the subjoined articles.
the first from the Hartford Times, and the two last
from the organs Of the Calhoun branch of the har-
nsonious democracy and the devoted advocates Of
that gentleman for the Presidency. 1t will be OBJ
served that the Times says it is reported that it is
probable Mr.. Calhoun will return to the Senate
and not be candidate for the Presidency in 1874
a mere report of a probability. We strongly sus-
pect &c the wish was father to the thought" No!
not Messrs. Editors of the Times, you will have
to raise great many more reports of probabilities
before you get rid of John Catiline Calhoun! He
stands directly in the path of the For Of Kinder
hook in his efforts to chamber up once more the
giddy eminence of the Presidency. But no matter
how the locos settle their quarrels--there is one

try by majority not less decisive than that OBJ

From the Hartford Times.
It is reported that Mr.. CALHOUN will
probably shortly return to the Senate, in place Of
Mr.. McDuFF1E, whose health Is very infrm; and
that he will not be candidate for the Presidency
in 1914. We trust this il true. Mr.. c. is a val
liable man in the Senate, and in that body was, at
the time of his resignation, working out for him
self reputation that few can hope to attain, and
which was endearing him to his countrymen. We
considered his withdrawal from the Senate loss
to the country, and injury to himself and shall
hail,his return pleasure and qualification.
From, the Washington Spectator.
ERROR CORRECTED.
We see in the Intelligencer of this morning, a
letter published from the Richmond Enquirer,
written from Washington, in which it is stated
that in the caucus nominating Mr.. JONES for
Speaker, Mr.. CALHouN's friends stated ''that they
had no expectation of Mr.. CALHoUN's nomination
for the Presidency, but that they intended to sup
port the nominee of the Convention" This is not
true. Mr.. CALHoUN's friends said no such thing.
One member from Alabama used language proba-
bly, to the effect stated. Nor was the position Of
MFR. CALHoUN's friends quite a. humble and be-
seeching this letter represents it be. We un-
derstand that they took the position, that if the
majority wished to act on their majority strength
they were welcome to do so; but that then it would
not be at all necessary for the minority to be
present. But that if the minority was given pow
er over the action of the caucus, by increasing the
thirds, that then they would remain and act with
the party. Their proposition was assented to, but
it had no connection whatever with the Presiden-
cy; but stood on the merits Of party justice and
policy only. se ~
As to Mr. CALHouN's friends withdrawing him
as candidate from the Presidential canvass previ-
Gus to May next, there are many things to occur
before such step will be thought Of by any Of
them. Many questions are to arise in Congress
the Tariff amongst them--which must be settled
before it can be determined who will be the candi
date of the party for the Presidency. It Is By no
means impossible, that by May next Mr.. VAN b.
Rem may not wait for his friends to withdraw him,
but withdraw himself a -,.
From the .NeSp Fork Daily Gazette.
60 We see it announced in some Of the Wing and
Van Buren, papers that Mr.. Calhouns name is about
to be withdrawn by his friends, and that they no
longer entertain any hope Of seeing him President
of the United States.
I. We take leave to add, that we know more of
Mr.. Calhouns intentions than the Post, and that
apprehensions need be entertained of his withdraw
ing from the contest in which he has engaged him
self, and into which he has led his friends. The
eyes Of the Democratic party are indeed fixed, as
the Post says, 'on another candidate; and there il
certain expression in those eyes which that other
candidate does not like; and that expression Crews
stronger from hour to hour. Last summers dele
gates to Baltimore will be gathered to last summers
cabbages before next May Convention; and if Mr..
Calhoun should bethink him between now and
then, and withdraw,we will tell the Post Of il, and
and not wait for the Post to tell US.
