Connecticut Aroused! Great Convention
of Wing Young Mem!
The Wing Young Men of Connecticut held a
mighty Convention at Hartford on the gid
Every part of the State was fully represented,
while from good portion the People dispensed
with sending Delegates and came themselves
For example, Norwich sent fifty carriage loads;
NoRwALK (not large town, 70 miles Off Is
Delegates; AVON sent every Wing voter in the
town but two but BR1sroL bore off the splendid
Banner offered by the Wings of Hartford to the
town which should send the fullest Delegation
She had 293 Delegates on the ground, being Just
the number of her uotes for Harrison In $780,
Such was the spirit with which this Conven-
ton Of the People, Ten Thousand Strong, was
animated.
A great many Delegates reached Hartford on the
evening ofthe 2lst. and were called to order by E.
C.. BACON of Litchfeld, when E. X. FOSTER ofNew
Haven was chosen Chairman, and able addresses
were made by C. J. M'CURDy of Lyme Mr.. GILL
of Kent, the Chairman, Messrs. SELDEN of Lyme,
HOLLY of Salisbury, and PECK ofNew.Haven.-
In the interval several original Wing Songs were
sung to the great qualification Of the Wings and
we hope without serious annoyance to our fastid-
Gus opponents.

temporary organization by choosing l. w. Stu
ART, President of the Hartford Clay Club, Presi-
dent pro tenn, with John S. Rice of New Haven,
and John w. Boynton of Coventry Secretaries

nent Officers were reported and adopted-Hon.
CHARLES w. ROCKWELL, of Norwich, President,
with two Vice Presidents and Secretary for

low, and the Convention was successfully ad-
dressed by Gov. ELLSWORTH, DANIEL P. TYLER
of Brooklyn, WIN. E. ROBINSON of New Haven,
E. CHAMPION BACON of Ltchfeld, and Hon. WM.
w. BoARpMAN of New Haven. While the latter
was speaking, the President announced that ex-
Gov. MoREHEAD Of Kentucky had just arrived
and would be on hand in twenty minutes. The,
tidings were received with tremendous cheering,
which was renewed when Mr. MoREHEAp made
his appearance. The question on the resolutions
was then put, and they were unanimously adopted.
Gov. MoREAEAD now addressed the Conven.
ton for three-quarters of an hour, in review of
the course Of Political events, the cheering omens
from all parts of the Country, especially from
MARYLAND, and exhosted Connecticut to follow
the glorious example. He spoke of his neighbor
and friend HENRY CLAY, who Tired in Kentucky,
but who was the pride and the property of all
true Americans, whether in Kentucky or Con.
nectcut-of every friend OF Freedom throughout
the world. He reviewed the Campaign of lS4O !;
the conduct of John Tyler; showed that the issues
OF lS40 were the same now presented, and to be
tined by the same tribunal; and then went into
a thorough exposition and defence of the policy
OF a Protective Tariff and of the Land Distribu
ton. Here he gave way for the ceremony of
presenting the Prize Banner to the Town most
fully represented on this occasion, which was ten.
dered with appropriate remarks by T. w. STUART
to which response was made by c. WHIrrLE-
sEy. The Convention, after passing vote of
thanks to the Wings of Hartford for their boun.
teous hospitality, now adjourned to o'clock
P. M.

of Brooklyn made spirited address, after which
Senator MoREHEAp was again called for, and
spoke fully upon the Currency and the Life and
Services of Henry Clay. In closing, he gave
the Convention an assurance that the Tariff
aoiu not be repealed at this Session, which was
received, as was his whole Speech, with deep en-
thusiasm.
