Wing doubts that the name of HENRY CLAY Will
lend lustre 10 its folds and arouse the ola !" hig
spirit throughout the land. There IS no true
Whig who will not follow it into the thckest OF
the fight, and battle for it with all his strength
Let, then, ID great multitude of the Wings of the
land gather at Baltimore to rear 1t alott and hout
it in the faces of those who ready to do battle
against it. The Wings Of the Monumental CITY
yromise to all who will come Wing hospitality
and the most cordial welcome Of true Wing
hearts.
D- The albany Argus labors to excite sympa-
thy in behalf of its political friends, Ex-President
VAN BuREN and Gov BoUcK, because they were
received at Rochester during the late Agricutur-
al Fair, with less popular enthusiasm than attend
ed Mr.. WEBSTER and Ex-Gov. SEWARD and IN
the attempt it charges U.s. among the Wing press
es which alone reported the proceedings, with
suppsessing some of the speeches aad torturlng
others for the purpose of making political capita!
out of the occasion. The charge is utterly un-
founded. We gave to Mr.. Van Buren's speech
far more space than It's merits deserved, expressly
to remove all ground for such an imputation as
the Argus now casts upon US; and the only rea-
son why MIR. Wadsworth's remarks were not re-
ported at length Was that they were partly dehv-
cred before we reached the ground, and the crowd
was so great tha. we were then uiiable to find ac-
commodations till he was about TO conclude
Judge Leland made volunteer speech, entirely
uncalled for, In distant portion of the carhousc
Of which we did not hear ten words and therefore
we did not report it. Now if in these clrcum-
stances, which we certainly could not control, the
Argus sees any evidence of deep Wing conspr-
acy, L is welcome to make the most of it.
The Argus is entirely mistaken when it repre-
sents MIR. WADswoRTH as having said nothing
which could &c considered a political harangue.
Had he confined himself to discussion of mea-
sures, or to eulcgy of men, no one would have
taken offence. Bat in the very first remarks that
met our ear Mr.. Wadsworth was ascrblng the
frauds, detalcations and general immortality OF the
times to n paper currency; and he proceeded to
denouncc the late Wing Congress for having
wasted the public time and money in leglslatlng
.tor sa,atL band of manufacturers The Argus
will not pronounce this suitable to the occasion,
offence TO the great body of Wing farmers pre-.
sent. But there was no Kissing at this time
though there was strong dissatisfaction. 1t was
not till Mr.. Wadsworth went on i'll strains which
LETT no doubt of the real character and purpose OF
hls speech, to congratulate those present on the
result OF tbs State Election Of lS40, which ele
waited Gov. Bouck 10 the Governors chair that
cries of no politics were heard from a part O
the audience.
Very different from this was the speech of Mr.
WEBSTER. He said nothing whatever of part,
measures as such, of the results of any election
or of the character of any party men He con
fined himself to discussion of principles, o
measures of government, of vital interest to those
whom he addressed. He asSailed no party anc
said nothing which could wound either the po
litical or personal partaliGes of any one present
There was nothing in his speech at which any
reasonable man could take offence. The state
1nent of principles deemed unsound would Ger
tainly, in no case, be thought matter for pubic
reproof II is only wbsn an inSmtt or Sneer j
aimed at some person or party that those inter
ested feel justified in rebuGng the dscourteous
speaker. Besides, Mr WEBSTER stood there in
very different position from that occupied by Mr.
WADswoRrH The latter gentleman presided
over the occasion, and his address, which wa:
made to the assembled multitude, was intended
to open, and give direction to, the proceeding
The most scrupulous adherence to the strict line O.
propnety might well be expected and demanded
OF him. Mr.. WEBSTER, ON the other hand, made
his address at supper given in honor of him, in
reply to complimentary toast and before those
only who attended the festival out of respect to
him. That the democrats under such crcun-
stances, did not bass him, merely for the expires
sion of opinions different from their own, is GER
tairly no matter for any great boas,ing. They
did no less than all weil.behaved gentlemen
would have done in a. Like contingency. That
