A NATIONAL MASS CONVENTION.

At,he Wing Celebration of our late National

phla, the following appears among The published
proceedings:

luton offered by James S. Wallace, Esq,

Resolrsd, Tina, the Wings of Philadelphia tender
an iuvila,ion to tho Wings Of the WHOLE UNION
to meet in Grand Mass Convention on The III Of

of Philadelphia, to respond TO the Nomination oil

We trust this invitation, issued by the Wings
or Philadelp h,a, 10 The Wings Of the Union, to
spond to The nomination of tho Wing National
Convention, which meets at Baltimore IN May
next will be circulated from Maine 10 Florida a,
from tho Atlantic TO the Oregon We all
aware Of tho influence which tho Mass Conven-
ton Baltimore, ia $50, had upon Tho Wing
party--associations there entered into,
friendships formed correspondence arranged,
opinions IN rchanged, and promises giyeo which
acted as tho bond and cement Of tho entire Uar-
rison party throughout the Union. 1t was the
first giaat impulse given TO tho aValauch Of 1910
the first "roii Of the bali' which crushed loco>
focoism in its onward course--the Lexington Of
the moral and political revolution Of the people
against their task masters and oppfessofs!
We look for similar results to attend The Phil
adelphia Convention of lS4l-to be held on the
couniry's birthday. We will not stop TO urge the
claims OF Phade pha TO this distinct ion-they
will suggest themselves to every Wing descen
dant Of the Wings Of tho Revolution. Wo want
TO hear, from the steps of Independence Hall
tho very spot from whence the Declaration was
first read 10 tho American people-lrom that hal
lowed spot as from an altar. we want to hear the
response Of that same people 10 the nomination OF
HENRY CLAY FOR THE PRESIDENCY. On
that spot we want every opponent Of treachery,
and Of misrus to ''pedge their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honors, - TO the of
the nominee and TO the rendering of the toe long
delayed JUSTICE TO HARRY OF TIE
WEST"
The invitation is extended in unbounded cor
dIality, and we trust 1t will DO accepted IN the
same spirit of fra,ernai kindness. We ask our
Wing brethren of the press, TO be bearers of the
request which Philadelphia city and county makes
10 the Wings Of the Union and to promuga, e
through their columns, that every arrangement
will be made for their comfort and convenience
Come one, come all! and here let us ratIfy anew
