IoDi, Gait Co. n. Y. July 30.
This village has BEEN favored to-day with
glorious rally of the Wings of the surrounding
towns 10 the number of five thousand.
Old Cattaraugus IS again in the tield--her
everlasting hills" have broken their silence and
her indomitable sons are ready to perform the du-
ties Of good and faithful soldiers. 1t is evident
that the spirit of 40 is again revived IN Cattarau
gus, and with that increase of energy and enthu-
siasm which will prove irresistible as her hills
are perpetual. For who can doubt 1t, when they
witness five thousand noble Wings, standing un-
der the peltngs of the storm, (as has been the
case to.dav,) for the space of two hours and a
half, and with one universal voice exclaiming.
that they could undergo any reign (rain) but that
of Polkats and Young Hickories, and shouting
to the speaker Go on 90 on"
To-day one that will long be remembered by
those who beheld the Delegation of Wings as they
came rushing in by the hundreds, and might
say by thousands, from the surrounding hills
and valleys -discoursing beautiful and melodOus
matchmaking the welkin ring with their long,
loud shouts for Harry Of Kentucky, Protection
end the Union," and with banners, with appro-
pirate inscriptions, proudly floating in the breeze,
that wildly swept across this beautiful village and
famed the manly brows of those long tried and
patriotic Wings, who had left their usual ayoca-
tons 10 meet in council, TO preserve for the pre-
sent as well as to transmit to pos,erlty that great
American system, Protection to American In
dustry."
Among the many excellent banners that l OBJ.
served in the procession, was one carried by
the Pomfict Delegation. 1t was made Of beauii-
full white silk, embroidered with blue, and with
the following inscription: Protection and The
Uniou-0gainst British Free Trade and TEXAS"
also one in the Otto Delegation 4" Otto good
for 200 Wing majority-Can't catch Northern
Coons with Texas bait" There were others OF
equal worth which | must omit. FILLMORE,
COLLIER, MuLLETT, r. P. MARVIN, and MosE-
LEY, five of New York's noblest cons, were pre-
sent TO address the meeting, the announcement
of whose names had contributed, no doubt, to In
crease the number present as well as to the en-
thusasm that prevailed. How can it be otherwise,
while FILLMORE stands identified with that great
measure (the Tariff of '42) which has repenished
our exhausted Treasury-elevated our National
character, and restored our National credit-and
COLLIER, who has been the eloquent, bold and
fearless champion for that system OF Internal I'M
provements, which has proudly placed the Empire
State III prtemlnencc, as to the wealth, pros
peri,y and intelligence OF her citizens-and MuL-
LETT TO say nothing of the other two dis;in
gmshed speakers who has 50 often when en-
gagged in his Profession, chained the attention OF
his audience by the fire and fertility OF his i'm
egnatIon, and the power oil his lmpassioned clo-
euence-could not fail to call forth that mighty
mass of intelligence, who were present, to hear
discussed those great and vital principles, In the
administration of our national affairs, which a:c
the embodiment of the Wing party and its glori-
Gus leader, HENRY CLAY.
