From the Wing Standard.
THE HAWKING PARTY.

Upbnd the birds-for 10 at last
The quarry is in sight
Up Eagle! with the blast,
With pinions clothed with might
See how his eye is sunward cast,
And how he pants for fight.
Now for the bird TO cope with him!
A queer strange thing i, brought,
With tufted head and lank of limb
A creature newly caught;
"THE EAGLE OF DEMOCRACY!
His gallant leaders shout.
Up mount the birds-,he Eagles path
Is upward to the Skies
A strange competitor he hath.
The other crane can't rise;
And greatly to his hackers wrath,
With clumsy effort flies.
In vain the quasi Eagle scars
Ills pinions are too weak;
His home is up and down the shores;
No other should he seek
And while the crowd with laughter :osrs,
The POLK flies up the creek.

WING MASS MEETING
AT WINCHESTER.

From ne Winchester Republican, Aagut 80.
Thursday last presented one of the
most numerous, imposing, and enthusias-
tic assemblages ever convened IN Virgin
ia. 1t was the Grand Rally Of the Wings
ofthe Tenth Congressional District, and
in all that could give effect to scene of
the sort, and inspire patriotic feelings, II
was unsurpassed.
On Wednesday, the clouds gave token
of an impending storm, and many persons
at distance were deferred by the fear OF
a settled rain from leaving their homes.
On Thursday morning the indications in.
creased--a slight sprlnkling succeeded
and about half past the ram commenced
so as to require umbrellas, and continued
in this way for an hour or more.
The delegations, however began to
appear frst among them that from the
"Unterrifed Precinct of Jefferson--next
that from Berkeley County-anc next the
cars poured forth their hundreds; whilst
from other directions, Clarke County,
Newtown, Middletown, Cedar Creek, DC.
the crowd came in at every street, on
horseback, carriages, and vehicles of all
sorts, throughout the whole forenoon.
The clouds having separated, and the
heavens become somewhat frightened, il
was determined 10 form the procession,
and this was completed at about l O'Clock,
on Market street; various delegations oc'
cupying the cross streets, ready TO tal! in.
TO line at appropriate points.
The Chief Marshal was Col. JAMES
BELL, OF Clarke County, gallant officer
long known TO the people ofthe district, as
ore Of the best disciplinarlans oil the day.
1t was truly appropriate that one born
on independence Day, 4ih July l776,
should have charge of such body ol
Wings as assembled ON the occasion, and
the appearance of Col. Bell at the aead oil
the line was hailed with great satslac.

Moore, Adj. Jos. Tidball, of Frederick,
and Col. Angus w. Mcdonald, OF Hamp'
shire.
The other Marshals are noted with theil
several delegations.
The whole procession being arranged
in line, the march was commenced VI
Market street, South, thence through one
of the cross slreets. and presenting most
beautiful and imposing appearance from the
high eminence as it entered Loudoun
street, and gave the spectator an ample
view. The various Glee Clubs were sing
ing in different parts of the line, and were
hailed with shouts and cheers from every
direction, white flags and hankerchiels be-
ing waved by the ladies from most of the
houses, and the eye of beauty beaming
brightly on the happy throng.
Thus arranged, no pen can describe
the effect as the procession passed on, in
the following order, as nearly as we can
recollect:

THE HOME MARKET.--Gen. Cass,
while addressing the Loco Foco mass
meeting on the 4th, in favor of Annexing
Texas, urged as a principal argument
that it would enlarge our home market,
and inadvertently expressed the sound
Wing doctrine that "homs market was
the best market in the world" "That's
right, General, stick to that" shouted

He upreared his noble form,
And his voice was heard, like our mountain bird,
Swelling high above the storm.

Let the song and shout ring gsily out,
As we swell the ranks for CLAY
When the foemen came, with sword and flame,
Sounded forth his voice that day,
From the council hall, like the trumpet's call,
When it summons to the fray.
Like the drums loud beat when armies meet,

As a banner of light in the dark midnight,
They unfurled the stripes and stars.

Oh, merry and free shall our voices be.
As we pledge our Chieftain true,
Whose deathless name bears a Nations fame
Ger the land and waters blue
On the oceans foam, on our mountain home,
Let each heart the call obey,
As swelleth the shout, and the song rings out,
For our Chief who wins the Gay

Napoleon's cook boasted that he
could dress chicken in three hundred
and sixty-fve different ways, and thus
from the same material furnish the EN-
peror's table with new dish every day
throughout the year. But the versatility
and skill even of French cooks are, we
think, quite surpassed by Loco politicians,
who can cook a lie and serve it up as a
new dish through series Of years; Of
the actual accomplishment of which we
can remember many instances. 1t is
said the professional. cooks of Paris care
very little about the quality or kind of
meat that is to serve as the basis of the
dish; and so our political cooks care very
little about the subject-matier of story
as the basis OF dish. Like the French
cuisinier, they can make auy thing out Of
any thing. 1t is a wonderful business,
and has been carried to surprising per-
lection. --Fredonidn.
