THE WING CONVENTION AT NASH
WILLIE.

We have Nashville papers TO the 2OIh, one
day previous to the coming off of the great Con-
venton. Already thousands are pouring into the
city The Louisiana delegation, headed by RAN
d, Hunt, Esq, of New Orleans, the Mississippi
delegation by s. S. Prentiss, Esq, and several
Alabama delegations, arrived on the 10Th, and
were enthusiastically received by the Wings OF
Nashville.
"If the greeting (says the Whig) was cordial at
the steamboat landing, the scene at the City Ho-
tel, to which our guests were conducted, was
doubly so. Mr.. PRENrIss and Mr.. HUNT were
both loudly called for by the crowd, after they
had alighted from their carriage, and briefly,
though promptly and cloquently, responded from
the steps of the hotel, concluding with return
of the warmest thanks of the Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi delegations, for their most hearty recep-
ton by tho Wings of Nashville. Gov. JONES,
Gen. NEIL, S. BRowN and Mr. PIKE, of Arkansas,
who were seen mnging in the company, were
then successfully and successfully called to keep
up the fire which, even at this early hour of the
Convention week, had been enkndled by the ar
rival of our distn guished Southern friends"

THE PEOPLE MOVING !
From the Baltimore American.


WING MEETING IN BALTIMORE COUNTY.
very large meeting of the Wings of Btltl-
more County was held yesterday the 18th inst,
at Bowman's, six miles from this city, on the Refs
tertown road. very large delegation was 10
attendance from several of the wards of this city
dred yards west of the road, and was handsomely
decorated with evergreens, wreaths of flowers, &c.
Above the stand was stretched broad canvass,
upon which was inscribed "CLAY AND THE Ia
RIFF Nations hope--a Nations choice" Be-
meath was portrait of Henry Clay, the great
champion OF the Wing party, surrounded on each
side by number of banners, flags, &c, with APP.
propriate mottos The qualification of the occa-
sion was very greatly heightened by the attend
ance of large number of ladies' from the country
around whose presence could not fail to inspire
the assembled Wings with renewed zeal and en-
ergy in the approaching contest.
Along with very numerous delegation from
Reistertown came handsome car, drawn by
eight horses with outrders, the horses handsome
" decorated, and the car containing a band of
music, besides number of the delegation. On
the front OF the car was the inscription "Ash-
land Clay Club, 4th district, Baltimore County !"
on the sides Clay, Frelinghuysen and Pratt
protection to American labor )" One Term :"
Tariff of 1872 Within the car we're several
handsome banners After the arrival of the Refs
tertown Delegation, the meeting was called to
order by VIM. E. Coale, Esq, one of the Wing
candidates for the State Legislature from Balti-
more county, who proposed the following officers :
For President-Wiam Fell Johnson, Esq.
For Vice Observation-Disclosures Lyon and John
Slack, Esqs.
For Secretary-John PrentIss, Esq.
As soon as the organization was completed,
Mr.. Johnson made few brief remarks, Wecom-
ing all present, in the name of the Wings of the
third district. He concluded by introducing to
the meeting the Hon. John Wethered of Balti-
more county.
AT this point handsome boquet from the la
dies present was handed TO the President, who
acknowledged the gift in some hand ONE compli
menary remarks. Immediately thereafter the
band struck up very spirited and appropriate
tune. As soon as the music ceased, the meeting
was addressed by the Hon. John Welhered, in
plain, but able and effective speech, showing the
beneficial effect of the tariff upon the best inter
esls of the country. Ills remarks upon this point
were received with loud tokens of appreciation.
Mess:s w. II. Watson and John Mex. Dun

the peshdy of Tyler. Take the whole series OF
State elections for the year.
First Connecticut righted herself in the spring
by splendid Wing victory: then came Mary
land with an exterminating defeat of Locofocolsm;
then Virginia, to the surprise of every body, wheel
ed into the Wing ranks: then Louisiana: then
North Carolina, where Locofocosm had in lS42,
obtained the ascendency, walked up, shook off the
thradom, and placed herself where she belongs,
beside Kentucky, which the late election shows,
notwithstanding adverse circumstances, to be tho
roughly Wing. Next in ORDER Indiana has re-
deemed herself; while Missouri, the very head
quarters of Locofocoisn, has exhibited Wing
gain which has delighted and astonished every
body. In Alabama and Illinois the Wings have
lost noground. Does not this uninterrupted course
OF success foreshadow the great triumph IN No
vember! In view of all these circumstances, can
any rational mind doubt the election of Mr.. Clay I!
The Richmond Wing has very strnngly stated
the grounds upon which the Wings must inevita.
bly, triumph in New York. In 1910, Gen. Harri-
son beat New York'S favorite son." Mr.. Van
Buren,, by majority of l3,000 at time when
he welded all the patronage IF the Federal Co.
vernment, and had the active and warm support
of the whole Locofoco party. Now, Mr. Clay, a
man equally popular with Gen. Harrison, is OPP
posed by James X. Polk, who has neither fame,
friends, patronage, or popularity, 10 back him !;
and withal, he is freetrader and the advocate of
immediate annexation, drawbacks from which Mr..
Van Buren, was free for, with just enough pala-
yer about "revenue tariff" intermixed with an
occasional vague allusion to free trade, to cheat
Virginia he invariably sustained the protective
policy. Upon the subject of Texas, the Locofo-
cos in New York are already in state of open
rupture ; thousands have deserted the flag, and
thousands of others demand that the star of Texas
shall be botted from it, or they will do likewise.
We concur with the Wing, therefore, in setting
down New York as the most certain of all the
States, except Kentucky, for Clay. The same
causes will produce like effects in New England
Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey; and we,
therefore. look forward to victory equal to Gen
Harrison's Oar opinion is that the popular ma.
jority for Clay will be greater than that for Gen.
Harrison.

ALABAMA ELECTION.

The Texas flag waves over the State in tri-
umph. Unable to pay their own debt, the people
vote to assume the immense debt of Texas! Tie
Wings have struggled nobly for their principles
aud Tor protection To our own citizens, but it has
been in vain The fancIed benefits of foreign az
erosion and war have dazzled the eyes Of the
Lncos, all 10 save Texas, and have caused them
TO lose sight Of what their own Country stands
amen'aby in need Of. Steady, Wings
steady! Strike earnestly from this 10 the cleo
ton in favor Of the good Cause. Do your duty,
and leave the result to Providence. Elsewhere
all is well. Lucofocoisn is doomed Southern
(Iuscato0Sa) AdUOcate.

GEN. JACKSONVILLE BALTIMORE CON
VENTION-MR. VAN BUREN,.

General Jackson in recent letter to a M M
M. Jones, Of Utica, New York, gives his views Of
the reasons which induced the Baltimore Conven-
ton to lay Mr.. Van Buren, aside, and take up Mr.
Polk. Nothing could be more explicit or truth
full than the Generals account of the matter He
says that Mr.. Van Buren, was thrown overheard
because a" considerable minority" objected 10 the
ground he had taken in reference to the annexa
ton Of Texas. He says again it was out of 9 de-
ference TO the minority" 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Van Buren's friends comprised the ma
jority of the Convention, and entirely concurred
with him on the subject of annexation; but out
Of reference to the minority" as General Jack
son apty says, they laid hun aside and adopted a
resolution in favor of immediate annexation. Can
the matter (and it is perfectly true) without feel
ing his blood Jingle with shame? Or are North
ern Locofocos so poor-spirited, mercenary and
cowardly as to be incapable of resentment Such
was the character of those who composed the late
Baltimore Conventon--they had no spiri'--no
manly dependence-poor dog-, they suffered
themselves to be dragooned and driven from the
support of their man and their principles out of
"deference 10 the minority." 1t remains to be
seen how far the Locofoco masses will ratify the
cowardly perfdy of their leaders.
The following is the extract from Gen. Jack
sons letter to which we have referred:
at seems, however, that while all the men,
bers Of the Convention concurred in The senti-
ments which have expressed as referring to his
exalted character and distinguished services, a
considerable minority objected to bis selection as
a candidate for the Presidency ON ACCOUNT OF HIS
POSITION ON THE TEXAS QUESTION and that
out OF Difference To this minority and from de-
sire to produce entire unanImity in the ranks of
the party, the two candidates now before the peo-
pile, Messrs. Polk, and Dallas, were selected, AS
beiGg equally acceptable to all the members of
the Convention, and possessing those general
qualifications which would ensure, in case of
their election, an administration of the Federal
Government on principles of sound and orthodox
Republcanism."
