The Wing Ward Meetings.
Last evening the wings held public meetings In
every ward OF the city, for the purpose OF appoint
ing delegates and making arrangements preparato-
ny to the spring election.
These meetings were well attended, and mani
tested great revival OF spirit, enthusiasm, ana
confidence-not so much perhaps, in reference to
The election of Mayor and Aldermen as in refer
ence TO the Fall election for President. In several
of the wards, the assemblages were large, with
plenty of speeches and some fine eloquence.
From the spirit, numbers and organization of the
wings, it is very evident that they do not mean to
be merged into the new native party, or allow that
class of politicians TO dsmember them. They have
elected delegates both to nominate a Mayor and
Aldermen, ana if they proceed and present full
tickets, we do not see how the natives have much
chance ofsuccess, or what can prevent the locofo-
cos from carrying the city, out and out, by an easy
and overwhelming victory.
II the natives and the wings both adhere to their
separate organization-boh nominate Mayor and
Aldermen, both will be sadly defeated, and the
" old hunkers' Of the locotocos will retain the
spoils another year We WILL in such a contingent
cy, have no reform-no economy-no police-no
clean streets--no good government.
In such dilemma, either the wings must give
way to the natives, the natives to the wings
otherwise both are certain Of defeat. What's to
be done!
BUSINESS AT THE SouTH.---We have lately no.
ticed in several of the southern papers advertise
ments of Philadelphia merchants This is a some
what new and not bad method of communica-
ton with merchants at the south and west /; but
have better one.
These southern papers very good channels
for advertisements far those papers so but 1t
should be borne in mind that their circulation is
necessarily very limited being almost wholly of
strictly local character. Now it is well known
fact to all who:have dealings with the south, that
the circulation of the Ncc York Herald throughout
that section of the Union is unequalled by any
other three papers combined that printed III
this country. On board of every steamboat, at
every hotel, every reading room, and in numerous
mercantile houses, the Herald is seen and read
daily and regularly. It's circulation is not confined
to any single isolated town county, but it goes
every where. This being the case, is there bet
ter channel of communication to be found?
We glad to proofs of an increasing busi-
ness at the south We daily have evidences of this
returning prosperity in the shape of subscriptions
from all anu DTlHSliS
us that the trade springs from firm and healthy
basis.
NEWSPAPER CREDIrs.-The newspapers through
out the south and west, with some few sulky and
mean exceptions, do ample justice to the manner
IN which we have furnished them with the news
by the recent important arrivals at Boston and this
port. Here are samples -
The New York Herald says that the recent reports OF
foreign arrivals and advances in Cotton were bona de
without qualification We truly glad to hear this,
although thing SO extraordinary and unusual WAS
certainly calculated to awaken some suspicious j was
fact which all had interest make appear with It's
fall weight, not with any unnecessary doubts We or
always ready to do the Herald full justice Tor lis

Tar New Yonx HgnALp.-We cannot refrain from ac- |
knowledgng our obligations to this journal for furnish
ing w. in advance Of all Others; with the news by each ar
brought from Boston for the Herald by special express
and By forwarded every portion Of the south twenty
from nexcusable neglect failed to connect at New
York in time for the O'Clock to Philadelphia Ba'
Clipper.
THE REroRrrp FALSE News FROM EuRorE:-We ex.
tracted few weeks since from the New York r =
statement that certain intelligence from Europe, con-
know to what paper the '. alluded It seems now
that the news alluded was taken from the Herald
and the editor OF that uses abusive language
towards for having made the extract We cannot de-
scend to the level Of the Herald and shall retort its
abuse 1t is perfectly welcome say what its Editor
may think proper OF US For the satisfaction of
readers however will barely repeat that not being in
1 ss % na h alleged Of
contained in its 1t will be recOllected that we
said the time that the editor Of the paper mut have
bopnd W ace no
perpetrating hoax liable to detection The We
learn turned out to be true We meant not to nure the
ing. We merely meant to put our own merchants on
their guard.-Riehmond Wig
The grumblinS and affectation of the "Richmond
Wing" is quite impudent and quite amusing. II is
amusing to see journal, the lowest of the low in
party drt-an editor who has some intellect know
ledge, talent, and also white to boot, yet
greater slave to dirty faction than any negro in
Richmond is to his master-and who, under this
CALLING slavery, degrades and dsgraces the press al
most beyond redempton-t is amusing to see such
journalist talk of his evel-of his eevation-o
his dignity. Satan may well talk OF his prayers
and piety in the garden of Eden.
TRAVEL TO EURopE.-Four packets leave this
country next Friday for England and France Three
from this city and one, the Hibernia, from Boston
We understand that the packets, the Oxford for
Liverpool, the Oneida for Havre, and the Victoria
for London, have already several passengers en-
gagged. We have not heard any thing respecting
the Hiberna; although she is capital steamer,
we believe that the Oxford will carry as many pas
sengers on this trip She will take the short route
discovered by Captain Rathbone, her popular COM
mander, in March 1910, and reach Liverpool fully
as soon as the Hibernia does. We shall see.
Both the Oneida and Victoria are fast saers. and
the race of the four ships, steam'and "canvass
backs" will be an interesting one.
Cry ArFAIRs.-The proceedings of the Com.
mon Council last evening, fully reported in ano-
Their column, will be found very interesting The
