painting of Mr. Clay, from bust, resting on a
scroll of the Constitution, with the charge in
golden letters, "Be Fortunate, BoId-and be
Faithful"
The expense Of this banner IS $50, and in
its whole execution reflects much honor and
credit upon the Ladies who presented il and
the artist who painted it..
II is TO be handed over in the fall to the town
which shows the largest comparative Wing
gain on the popular vote. The last years vote
for Governor is to be used in making the com
parIson.
Hon. Robert C.. Winthrop of Boston, was
then introduced and spoke three quarters Of an
hour in his usual beautiful and able manner,
and concluded by announcing Hon. Francis
Granger of Canandaigua, N. York. He adj
dressed the multitude for an hour and quar-
ter, in an eloquent and powerful style. Hon.
Rufus Choate next spoke for an hour in the
most iervid, eloquent and sou-stirring manner.
He perfectly captivaled the audience, who
cheered him long and loud. Hon. Daniel
Webster was next introduced by the President
by reading an extract concerning him, from a
letter Of Gov Stewards, who was unable 10 be
present. Mr. Webster spoke for three quar-
ters Of an hour in his usual powerful, argu-
mentative, plain and eloquent style. As he
never spoke in this part Of the State before, he
had been looked for with some impotence and
was received with much applause. Horace
Greeley of the N. Y. Tribune, Daniel P. Ty-
Ter, Secretary Of the State of Connecticut; w.
T.. Robinson of New Haven, followed in sue
cession, in short and able speeches, and al a.
bout O'Clock, after song from Joseph llox-
ie, Esq, of N. York, the meeting at the prn-
cipal stand closed in good spirits and hearty
wishes for The success Of the Wing party.
II appearing in the former part of the speak
ing, evident that not one half the vast assem-
blage could hear the speakers from the original
stand, second one was put up in "LovcTs'
Grove" ia the rear of the former, and large
multitude assembled around it, from those who
could not hear at the other. They were adj
dressed here by Hon. Charles Hudson, NJ. G..
from Worcester district, Mr. Greeley of the
Tribune, Hon. Myron Lawrence of Becher-
town, George Woodman, Ga mechanic from
Boston, and capital speaker Joseph Hoxie,
ESQ. of New York, and J. B. Eldridge Of CT.
We give no reports Of the speeches, aliho'
we have some notes, because we have no room;
and because full reports of the principal ones
will appear in the Boston Courier of Monday,
which we shall copy next week.
The Convention broke up about O'Clock,
and most of those living on the line of the
Railroad left at in the extra trains.
The day passed away without accident so
far as we learn either on the ground or in the
streets, which were crowded through the day.
As to the number present, we have headed
our account with Twenty Thousand We
have no doubt that full that number of persons
were on the Convention ground, yesterday
Some of our brethren OF the press from abroad,
and shrewd men at home, estimate as high as
Twenty-Five or Thirty Thousand. Seven
thousand is fair estimate for the procession,
but that did not contain more than one-third
the multitude present.
