WING GATHERING in MASSACHUSETTS =
BEAU BRUMMEL.

al eleven thousand but that paper is satisfied that
there were than twenty thousand persons PEE
sent besides the ladies, while some other papers, es'
innate the number at thirty thousand small differ
| ence certainly between the estimates Of editors and
that Of persons accustomed TO such matters" But
ii is generally about in this proportion that the wings
estimate the victories that they going TO gam ou'
never do gain.
The Boston Courier of Monday last, contains some
of the speeches delivered the occasion partcu-
arly those of Messrs. Webster and winthrop
The most remarkable features in those speeches are,
the gorication Of the Wings and that OF each other
by the speakers.
| Mr. Winthrop, we have always regarded as
the Beau Brumuel Of the House--the nice man
who writes with gloves on his hands, as if they
might be de6led by tho touch even of his pen
in manner and appearance the Patrieian, who
seems within himself to say "stand thou aiar of, Tor
| am hoer than thou"
| We find in the speech of this individual few
things to which give passing notice. Mr.. Win
throp has made the very important discovery that
'the present tariff could have been passed but
| for the Congress of 1912" Certainly, no tariff
would ever have been passed, but by the action OF
| Congress MIR. w. would claim the tariff of lS42 as
! Wing measure, when it passed by Democratic
votes and when the following Wings voted against
| il, viz:
| John Quincy Adams Of Massachusetts,; Messrs
| Linn and Foster, Of New YORK John MINOR BOTS
| Messrs. Goggin and Summers, of Virginia Messrs
| Rayner, Washington, Deheuy, Shepherd, Graham,
! and Mitchell, of N. c.; Messrs. Habersham, Wal
| rem, Gauble, Foster, and T. Butler King, of Ga;
| Messrs Caru,hers pnd Gently, M. Blown, C IL
| Williams, and The two CampbeIls, OF Tennessee !;
| Me-sr,. Iiipien, Underwood. Ocsey, Thompson,
Green S9rigg, IN SPEAKER VIII E, OF Ken

Lane, OF Indiana, and Mr.. Casey, OF Illinois
The venerable states nan, q. q. Adams) of
whom (Mr. Webster said) the whole State OF Mas
slchusetls is proud, voted against the tariff of ls42
and nearly all the rest of the names above, who are
the peculiar friends Of Mr. Clay, and some of them re-
fleet his views, voted also. Yet MIR. Adams is
surrounded by manufacturing establishments. and
Mr. Clay is claimed to be the father and protector OF
the American system, so styled.
Another measure Mr. Winthrop csimed for the
Wings He said "the treaty of Washington never could
have been negotiated but by the distinguished leader of
the Wing party of Massachusetts, Ia one case Mr..
noticed fey days since, the Cabinet at Washington
negotiated it. One would be led to suppose that the
President was cypher when these negotiations
were going on, notwithstanding the correspondence
of the Secretary of State with the negotiation the
other side conducted by order and under the direction
of the President Of the United Stats Such il will be
is the case in the correspondence of Mr.. Web
ster with Lord Ashburton, yet MIR. Webster must
have awarded to him the merit of effecng the trea-
,y. But, if treaty had not been negotiated, the
odium of failure would then have been cast on Mr..
Tyler.
The tariff of 1912, and the Treaty of Washing
ton, Mr.. Winthrop regarded as enough to repay
our exertions." But, continued he
Bitter disappointments we have indeed expert
enced. The providence Of God-to which we bow
ed in sorro iul submission the treachery of man
% which we could not bow, but in scorn and con
tempt hese have deprived us of the fruits of our
victory"
In what manner of sorrorftd submission haze the

styling Mr.. Tyler the accidental" President, and
'his Accidency," accusing him Of I" treachery" and
Glowing" in ''scorn and contempt" Such is the
submission of the Wings to the act of Providence!
speech as reported the contest of ls44 differs from
that of 1910 in something more material than the
mere question Of who shall be President and Vice
President; or the substitution of the gallant
and glorious Clay for the loved and lamented Har-
rison, (cheerng,) or the pure and high minded FIRE.

Now, this is very pretty slang TO come from the
mouth of the refined Mr.. Winthrop. What deeds Of
glory has Mr. Clay ever accomplished What acts
of gaantry has he ever performed Are the hume
rous duels in which he has been engaged to be class
ed among the former and s the insulting Of Senator
Choate and shaking his fist in his face, by Mr. Clay,
in the Senate Chamber regarded by Mr.. Winthrop
as among The latter
1t is easy for those laboring under "bitter dssp-
pointments" to resort TO the Of epithes in giving
vent to their bitterness Mr. Tyler a dasia d! a
rai or Such shafts as these but elevate the person
against whom they are directed, and recoil on the
quarter from whence they sped. False and calumnl
Gus as they are, they require no further comment.
In speaking Of the annexation Of Texas Mr. Winthrop
asserted that Henry Clay is opposed TO it, e1cep
in the almost inconcevabe event that the whole peo
! pie should demand itn This statement Of Mr. w !,
is contrsdicted by Mr.. Clay himself: who, in hi
letter to Mr.. Miller, said, personally hare no Oh
