THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.

How is this the Washington Correspondent
of the New York Express, who prdes himself
upon being correct in all his statements of matters
Of fact, makes grave charge against the Post
master General, which, if true, deserves the at
tenton of Congress; and if not true, deserves
the prompt notice of Mr.. Wickffe. The charge
is, that great number of the editorial defences of
Mr.. Wicklife's course, which whilome appeared
in the Madisonian, and also editorial notices and
letters from mail agents, respecting the failures
of the mails, have been charged in bill against
the Department as advertisements, and 25 per
cent. added the eto for the badness of the hand
writing In which they were sent to the Office from
The Department-and that Mr.. Wickliffe himself
examined the account, item by item with a clerk
who is named, and ordered the bill to be passed
and paid out Of the peoples money
If this be true, and we have as yet seen no con-
tradicton of it, it will go far towards sustaining
the late charge of the Globe, that corrupt I'M
derstanding existed between Mr.. Wcklffe and
Isaac Hill, whereby the latter parsonage obtained
certain important contracts for furnishing blanks,
paper, and Irvine, for some fourteen States and
Territories. If it be true it is as bad in President
Tyler to keep Mr.. Wicklife in office, as it was to
| appoint Judge Bib while he was defaulter to
the Government--and ,oorss too.

"INCIDENTAL PROTECTION"

Mr.. Webster, in his Albany speech, gave an
admirable critique upon the ridiculous sophistry
by which Mr.. Polk attempts to gloss over his free
trade, by telling the Pennsylvanans, in his Kane
letter, that he is willing to give incidental :"
protection to manufactures. "What is meant"
said Mr.. Webster, "by incidental protection
1t can mean nothing more than accidental protec
ton. Mr.. Polk is willing to see portion of
the revenue collected by laying duties upon the
importation of foreign goods. Those duties must
necessarily protect domestic fabrics to the extent
of the per cent. to which they are levied, and the
protection is an accident or an incident for which
the manufacturers are under no sort of obligation
to Mr.. Polk or the Government. Ifthe duties are
uniform, or horizontal, the incidental protection
nevertheless results, and is inevitable 1t is idle,
therefore, to talk of being in favor of incidental
protection. A man had as well avow himself in
favor of rain or fog"
The sort Of protection which is essential to the
manufactures of the country, is that which is CIV
en- by discriminating duties that is to say, high
er duties lain upon foreign articles which come
in competition with those of the same kind pro-
duced in our country than is imposed upon other
articles. To this sort of protection Mr.. Polk has
always been opposed, and stands in relation to il
precisely in the position of Mr. Calhoun.

James K. Polk. Why, if it had not been for
Bae Peyton, Wise would have given the gross
| insult-the keen, whitening, consuming denunci-
ation-on the floor of the House, instead OF watt

he passed through the lobby after the Hotke adj
| toured! No, no; it is not in the nature of the
gallant Wise to be sorry for having given that
well-merited insult to the most servile and con-
temptible demagogue that the force of party and
Gen. Jackson's ipse dirt ever elevated to the
Speakers chair of the National House of Repre-
seniatives. Look at his corrupt decs ions, as in
the Mississippi case, and his appointment of seis-
tres committees, as Wise called them, six Loco
focos to three Wings; not only all the important
standing committees, but all investigating CON-
mittees, which courtesy allows shall be composed
of majority favorable to the investigation ORDER
ed by the House, were thus appointed by James
K. Polk, SO as to suppress the very investigation
which Locofoco House of Representatives felt
compelled to order
Who authorises the Madisonan to say that Mr..
Wise is sorry for having denounced Speaker Polk
for this shameful conduct! Nobody, we venture
say, but John Tyler, who is next Of kin to nobody,
and who hopes, no doubt, to help Polk thereby

NEW JERSEY STANDS TO ARMS.

NEW JERSEY STANDS TO ARMS.
The Wings of New Jersey are preparing for
the contest with spirit worthy of their Revolu-
tionary fathers. The Loco nomination, for Gov
ernor, OF one of the master-sprits and functiona-
RES OF the great railroad and canal monopoly,
which recently exerted itself to saddle on the
State large portion of its least profitable works
at an exorbltant price, has aroused spirit which
must be irresistible. We do not believe all the
power, patronage, and money of the combination,
can make Thompson Governor of New Jersey,
nor come near it.
We attended, on Saturday, the Mass Conven-
ton of the Wings of Monmouth County. at Free
hold. We found at least $500 of the substantial
yeomanry of Monmouth assembled, notwithstand-
ing the great extent of that county, and the fact
that the Wing strength lies manly in its remoter
sections, Freehold and MIddIetown being strongly
Locofoco.
The meeting nominated strong and good
county ticket, which the Wings can elect if they
really try, and we believe they will try.
The meeting was successfully addressed, after
we left, by Hon. j. F. Randolph, Senator Miller,
and Mr. Il. Chrystal, of this city. In the even
ing another large and spirited meeting was held,
which was addressed by Mr.. Chrystal, r. E. Hor.

GREAT WING GATHERING AND BAR
BECUE AT HAVRE DE GRACE, MD.

The Wing meeting at Havre de Grace on Sat
urday last was truly large gathering of the peo-
pie. At an early hour delegations began to arrive
from Hartford and the adjoining counties, aud when
the delegation from Baltimore city reached the
spot, the whole village seemed to be filed with
strangers. AT half past eleven o'clock a process
sion was formed, headed by fine band of music
from Baltimore, and marched to handsome grove
short distance west of the village. In passing
through the principal streets the procession was
greeted continually by the fair daughters of Har-
ford with the waving of handkerchefs and pre-
sensations OF wreaths and bouquets. The scene
was one OF the most animated ever beheld at
Havre de Grace at political meeting.
The speakers stand in the grove was beauti-
fully decorated with flags, banners, evergreens,
&c. Over the front of it was tastefully worked
in green leaves the words Henry Clay and the
Constitution H##,
The various delegations, together with several
hundred ladies', having taken seats in front of the
stand, the meeting was organized by appointing
the following officers:
Presdent--Col. Jacob Michael
Vice Presidents-Georg W. Bradford, Jacob
Hope, Samuel Galloway, Clement Butler, Wake
man b. Hopkins and George Wareham.
Secretaries-Henry G. Stump, Thomas ] Muir

MASS MEETING IN BALTIMORE.

The mass meeting held last night in Lexington
Market Square, was the largest assemblage
which has been congregated during the present
canvass. The stand prepared for the speakers
was tasefully decorated and placed at the lower
part of the Square, where it could be seen by all.
Along the side of the area, the gallant Wings of
the three upper wards had erected an elevated
platform, running it's whole length, and hand
somely Illuminated, on which were large num-
Der of ladies', whose presence impaired a very
beautiful effect to the whole scene.
Thomas Yates Walsh, Esq, was called for,
and promptly responded to the wishes Of the
meeting.
AS Mr.. Walsh concluded his forcibe address,
the Clay Gibbs from the different wards poured
in in immense numbers, with music and banners,
| and transparencies, and sweled the meeting to
an immense size. The Clubs having taken their
places, the President, Mr.. Lurman, introduced to
the meeting the Hon. William C.. Preston, of
South Carolina. Mr.. Prestons appearance was
loudly and cordially welcomed aud after order
was restored he proceeded 10 address the multi.
tude with great spirit. We hope to present our
readers with sketch Of his remarks tomorrow.
We should not omit to state, that Col. Pratt,
the wing candidate for Governor, was enthusias-
tically welcomed when he took a seat on the plat
form.
MAssAcHUsETTs.-Ani immense Wing meeting
was held at Lynn, Mass. on Wednesday, 1t was
principally composed of the wing citizens of Es-
sex county, but delegations were also there from
Norfolk and Middlesex counties and one account
says that the whole atmosphere in the beautiful
and thriving town of Lynn seemed redolent of
patriotism and enthusiasm The concourse,
numbering several thousand was escorted to the
public common by two military corps. Banners
and streamers, with appropriate notices and en-
bems, we're borne by the different delegations
but the most attractive feature in the procession
is said to have been comparison between Free
| Trade and Protection to Domestic Manufactures,

dated, with his shop almost tumbing about his

cessful enterprise. After the vast assembly had
partaken of an excellent collation. prepared for
five thousand persons, addresses were made by
the Hon. Leverett SatonstalI, the Hon. Rufus
Choae, the Hon. Francis Granger, Col Christie,
of New Orleans the Hon. John P. Kennedy, and
other distinguished Wings.

WIG MEETING AT EASTON, MD.
The mass meeting called by the Wings of Tai
bot was held at Easton on Thursday last, and we
are'informed (says the Baltimore Patriot) that it
was attended by about fifteen hundred OF the gal
liant Wings of that county, and two or three hum
dred of its fair daughters 1t is represented as
one of the most enthusiastic meetings Of the sea-
son, and gave cheering hopes that the Wings of
old Talbot will give good account of themselves
at the ensuing elections. The entertainment
provided for the occasion by the hospitable Wings
Of the neighborhood is spoken of as being elegant
and sumptuous in the extreme.
The meeting was addressed by Robert N. Mar
tin, Esq, William H. Watson, Esq, and J. Nc
Kim Duncan, Esq, of this city, and their speeches
abounded in argument, wit, and eloquence.

spirit, and with that powerful eloquence which he
so well knows how to exercise.
The company then proceeded to an adjoining
grove where sumptuous dinner was provided,
and to which they did ample justice. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than three thousand persons,
male and female, partook of the hospitality of the
Wings of Hartford
The music again called the vast assembage to

his remarks. AT the close of almost everv SEN

He was followed by Messrs. William l.. Gather,
