WING MEETING AT THE CLUB HOUSE.


Despite the incessant rain which continued
throughout yesterday, and the general understand
ing that the Dedication Of the Club House would
in consequence be postponed, the capacious room
was well filled with the patriotic Wings of our
city, who evinced by their attendance that they
were not stair weather" men, and thai, in the
| storm as in sunshine, they were ready TO help
along the good cause, and proclaim their adher-
cnce to Wing principles.
The meeting was called to order by JOSEPH HI.
BRADLEY, Esq, who stated that, considering the
unproptious state of the weather, and for the pur
pose of enabling our brother Wings Of Alexandria
and Georgetown, and those firm friends of the
Wing cause, the ladies', to unite with us in a for
NAL dedication of the Club House, it was propos-
ed that it should be postponed to MONDAY NIGHT,
the both instant, which proposition was unani-
lnously acceded TO-
After the singing of several patriotic and spirit
ed songs by a portion of the Washington Clay
Glee Club, who were in attendance, the meeting
was addressed by g. COLUMBUS MORGAN, Esq
and the Hon.. M. S. CAusIN, Of Maryland, and
the President of the Club, in able and interesting
speeches, reviewing and enforcing the principles
of the Wing party, and exposing the errors of
Locofocosm, which were received with loud
paudits by the meeting, and amply compensated
those present for their attendance on an evening
so unfavorabe.
The meeting further entertained by the
Gee Club with staunch Wing music, which met
response from all present; and the President
announced the adjournment to Monday evening,
and the meeting then adjourned with three cheers
for Louisiana, three for Messrs Morgan and Cau-
sin, and nine for CLAY and FRELINGHUYsEN.
During the evening, resolution was proposed
and unanimously adopted, that the Club would

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings of each
week. for the free consultation Of the Wings and
the advancement of the cause.
A resolution was also adopted, making all the

SANDs's SARsAPARILLA.-Lepra Leprosy is a
cutaneous disorder appearing various parts of the
body in whitish dry scabs which continue to spread
until it becomes continent, and the parts swell to
enormous extent 1t IS of ancient origin, and well
known to the Romans, Greeks, and Arabians, being
considered disease inflicted by transgression A
Leper was looked upon an outcsst from society
Leprosy bears close resemblance to Scroiula; ;
hence it is transmitted from sire to son, and many
lepers may be seen even at the present day. Its
peculiar characteristics white scabs, which, being
displaced, leaves red spot, and another scab is soon
formed varying in size, depressed in the middle but
always having nearly circular form.
1t is believed there is disease without an appro-
pirate remedy The truth in this instance is fully We
rifed, and the facts are amply proved. Sands's
Sarsaparlla has laid the monster low, and where the
citadel of life has not surrendered, this medicine will
exert its healing and restoring powers, by dspacing
diseased action, and producing free, natural circu-
laton and equilibrium through the system, when per-
feet health succeed debility and disease.

In the Columbia (9th) precinct of Maury, the
one in which Mr.. Polk resides, there are about
sixty young Wings who have never voted for
President, and who will proudly cast their maiden
votes for the Farmer of Ashland The Locofo-
cos cannot muster one-third of that number. The
fact is Mr.. Polk has never done anything to i'm
press even the minds around him that he is even
the ShadOD Of great man.
In the 9Th precinct Tin this vicinity there are
about fifteen, and only one Locofoco! In ano
ther precinct, which has been almost unanimous
ly Locofoco, there are twenty young men who
have never voted for President, twelve of whom
will vote for the first Statesmaneof the age and
the brightest ornament of American legislation,
HENRY CLAY. From these and other instances
we might mention, it is evident that large ma
jority of the young men Of the county are Wings.
and we believe the proposition to be true through
out Tennessee.
We rejoice to see the young men of the coun-
try,'"t the hope of the Republic" on whom will
devolve the sacred trust Of preserving for sue
ceedlng generations the institutions of the coun-
try and the spirit of freedom that built up those
institutions, coming upon the stage of action with
pure prime Piles and liberal views 1t augurs well
for the future. Nor is it strange that they should
embrace Wing principles. The gloom which the
disastrous policy of our adversaries have thrown
over the prospects of thousands of young men
during the last ten years, gives poignancy and
force to a powerful appeal to their interest in
favor of Wing policy.-Columbia Ienn.) Obser.
