THE FOURTH, AT LOUISVILLE, KY.


The Wings of Louisville celebrated the Fourth
of July by erecting Club House, and a flag staff
one hundred and ninety feet above ground from
the top OF which now waves magnificent flag
seventy-hve feet in length. procession procee-
ded to the woods early in the morning, and return
ed about midday with the timber for the Club
House. The Journal says:
"There was long train of wagons with logs, the
horses and drivers decorated with green boughs, a
long procession of citizens on foot, and a very
long cavalcade of gentlemen on horseback, all
waving green branches as they passed, and exh-
biting the appearance of a vast forest moving in
to the city,"
The enthusiasm of those engaged in the work,
and OF the multitude who thronged the street in
which the Club House and staff were going up, is
said to have been unbounded And this enthusi-
asn,, it would seem, was heightened if possible,
by two omens. which are thus handsomely alu-
ded to by the editor of the Journal:
" Just as the second portion of the great liberty
pole reared itself majesticay in the air, an eagle,
genuine bald eagle, the thunder bird of our couR-
try, flew over at great height and the congrega-
ted thousands sent up shout as loud as that of
the Roman army which caused all the birds over
head to fall dead to the earth. The bald eagle did
not fall dead but capped his broad wings, as with
joy, and seemed as if sending forth from his beak
scream of exultation in response to the shouts
from below. Another omen remains to be record
ed, and it was so extraordinary that we should
scarcely venture to record it, had it not been seen
by every Individual of all the thousands upon the
ground. 1t was rainbow at mid-day--a rainbow
when the sun was in the zenith--a spectacle
which, in all probability, not one of the immense
multitude who saw it ever saw before. No rain
cloud was visible, but there was thin light haze
over the sky, and upon that haze, about midway
between the horizon and the zenith, the rainbow
was painted, clear, papable, and beautiful, bend
ing not downwards but upwards, and circling
nearly one-haIf Of the broad heavens"
Late in the afternoon the gorgeous flag was
run up to the top of the staff "where it is destin-
ed to float until Henry Clay shall be declared
President of the United States.''

GREAT GATHERINGs.-The Albany On. "
Journal contains cheering accounts of two i'm
mense outpourings of Whigs-one in Old Wash
ington," and the other in Orleans county. Oh
the first the correspondent of that paper says:
"Never was there a prouder day for Washing
ton and Warren and North Saratoga than yester
day. Their uncollared freemen poured forth in
countless throngs. They mustered from the
farms and valleys Of Washington, the fields and
plains Of Saratoga, and from the mountains and
glens Of Warren Their faces spoke but one
sentiment, their hearts all beat in unison. More
than 1900 animated countenances graced the
occasion. But the numbers told but half the
story 1t was the spirit the notices, the BAN
ners, the badges, the music, the sentiment, that
told the rest. Not man, woman, or child, that
attended the gathering, but expressed surprise at
its vastness. Column after column was led o j
to the ground. Procession after procession en-
tered the field, and when all was g sea of heads,
the cry was " still they come, they come" Only
think Of 2,400 Wing DAMsELs, with sparkling
eyes and approving smiles, gracing the scene
Who could doubt the result of the battle! And
then IL yoke of large fat red oxen, in a long ve-
hicle, with 80 Wing voters, and huge fleece of
snow white wool, $40 cts pound" elevated in
the air. And then, amounted ships" horses de-
coraed, carriages trimmed with evergreens, bands
of music, Wing songs, sc. And yet repeat, it
was the countenances the coUNTENANcEs, that
sealed the victory sure"

Appeal to the Naturalized Vo-
tiers!

The Albany Argus and other kindred
Locofoco prints are making the most I'M
distinguished, audicious and threatening
appeals to the foreign voters We are
told there are $50, 900 such in the Union,
and the unblshing attempt is made to
coalesce them in body against the Wing
party! Was ever such desperation !
Was ever such unprincipled proliigacy .
Were our foreign fellow citizens ever be-
fore persuaded to take advice so unjust 10
their adopted country-sOtatdl to them
selceS?
If they coalesce as foreigners do they
think the American People will not unite
as natives If the question is WHO
SHALL RULE, can they imagine that
they who have twice humbled the British
Lion will submit to be put down by those
who have found in that country for It's
Liberty, and who have found in that coun-
try equal rights, cordial welcome, and Il
brotherly sympathy 2
Let us entreat our naturlized fellow
citizens to think and act as AMERl-
CANS only, and to treat those who give
them the pernicious counsel to rally a.
gainst their country, and still to regard
them as foreigners, as their worst and
most dangerous enemies.-R'ehmoHd

THE PRESIDENTIAL POWER AND INFLU-

Identified pith us and our institutions, and
an enemy of the Protective policy and AbO-
HtioniSm."
Or ofthis from the Washington Spec
tator;
Nerer pas there a more remarkable
proof of the pou0er Of the South ~hen uni
ted, than in controlling the nomination Of
the Conrention. The man in whose favor
she had declared-came out against a
policy essential to her peace and safety
(annnexation.) She made one brdue rally,
and s,oept all Opposition before her. And

MIR. POLK'S
CARD PLAYIN

The Columbus Miss Wing details
the following incident which occurred at
the recent Wing Convention at Lander
dale Springs:
"While Judge D. o. Shattuck in his
speech was commenting upon the frequent
habit that the Legislature ofplaying cards,
he said he had no dubt that Governor
Polk had Frequently played, and asked if
there was any gentleman present, who
would Withhold bis vote from a candidate,
because he occasionally had played, cards
A democrat in the crowd said he would.
whereupon Gen. Desha Of Mobile, former
representative in Congress from Ten
essee, announced to 1000 passengers who
were present, that some years ago 'chile
traveiing ,cith Governor Polk he had
played cards Nth him for money, &c.
This perhaps, in itself is matter of
small moment, but as the locos have been
in the habit of stigmatising Mr.. Clay for
the same practice in former days, as a
Cheat 'blackleg,' Sc, and have hung
upon it all the charges of abuse therfor, we
have some anxiety to know what they will
have now to say for their own candidate.
