HON. WIN. SHADES SPEECH.
A glorious rally Of The Wings OF Beverly was
had on Thursday evening, on the short and
limited notice of few hours. An enthusiast

sisters and daughters--and OF Young Wbioa
who are TO cast their first Presidential vote in
November for Mr. Clay, thronged the spacious
new Town Hail. Mr. Sade was introduced nv
Hon. S. c. Phillips, Of Salem, in one of the
most happy, eloquent and seasonable speeches
we have ever heard from that distinguished
Wing. Cheers and applause greeted Mr. Phil
lipss entreaty that al would lay aside every
minor cause of irritation, take the best candi-
date that offered, and unite on the only one
man who now can save the Union, and render
our country an essential service, as President.
Mr. Phillips then paid glowing tribute 10 gal
liant Vermont, the Wing Star that never SETS,

self particularly 10 the members OF the Liberty
party, then and there present by invitation Of
the Wings of Beverly. Just before he left
Vermont, Mr. Slade had seen, in notice for a
Liberty party convention, an assertion that the
Wing party and the Democratic marty were
both aiming at offce-dolars and cents-and
there were no important differences or issues
between those great parties. Mr. s. vindicated
the Wing party, and declared that Vermont
Wings, Massachusetts Wings, United States
! Wings, were real hearty and true friends Of
Liberty. He denied that the leading measures
of the two great paTties-the support and de-
struetion Of the Wing Tariff of 1912; The
distribution and The expenditure of the PRO
ceeds Of The National Domain; the preserra-
ton Of The Union as IL is, and ANNEXATION,

year--were not of transcendant importance 10
