WINGS OF
ADDISON COUNTY

Previous to the State election this number
of the Galaxy can reach you alone, and we
have issued it in advance that we might enjoy
another opportunity to store your minds with
arguments, and exhort you to labor with en-
ergy and an indomitable resolution to carry
forward the Wing cause to glorious victory.
Can any man of common sense and intelIi-
gence falter from apathy in conflict inyoI-
wing in its results for generations yet to come,
every thing estimablc to an American citizen,
NO! 1t cannot it must not be-? Never was
there, yea we believe never will there be a
time IN our day when the patriotic blood
OF old Addison should course more fierceIy
through her veins, than at the present mo-
ment. From unadulterated locofocoism i
is true we have but little to fear1 The new
features it has assumed have rendered il
tenfold more odious than ever in Vermont
But ourapprehensions spring from its alliance
with Thirdpartyism,w which after lowering fol
months among the Mountains, has at length
spread its raven wings over the country a,
large, and is sustained by band of noisy and
disappointed aspirants and well paid timer
ants, who have focked to the new standard
from every religious sect and political party
IN the country. Let then every Wing, or,

Come out !! i!
800, Whigsin Coun-
Gil at Bridport !!

Although the farmers had not closed
their harvests they came out spiritedy at
Bridport on the Doth. All present we think
must have counted up TO 600 at least. a
great assemblage for convention designed
for few neighboring towns.
The people of Bridport are deserving of
great praise for their liberal scale of proper
atons for the occasion. The latch string
was fully out. Tables were spread in
Masonic Hall beautifully supplied with the
best eatabes of the season. In some private
houses TO our knowledge the most refined
and generous hospitality prevailed. The
first object which struck our attention on en-
tering the village was splendid banner ex-
tended across the street from the Baptist
Church inscribed with appropriate notices.
The most noble and enthusiastic spirit in
favor Of the Wing cause was manifested By
the hundreds assembled.
The meeting was organized by the ap-
pointment of the Hon. Sias Fl. Jennison
President, and Davis Rich, Calvin Soace,
B. Howe, Joel Rice and Paris Fletcher Vice
Presidents, and Mr.. NJ. C Wright, Gordon
Searls n. S. Bennett, Secretaries.
Mr.. McVene of Moriah, N. Y. first ad-
dressed the audience in short but able speech.
The Hon. George P. Marsh was then in
troduced, and at the close the Hon. S. s.
Phelps both of whom spoke in their usual
able eloquent and strong argumentative
style and so faithfully and wildly were the
wrongs of locofocosm, and the deceptious of
Third party Philanthropists and itinerant
lecturers exposed. that it would seem
to us that an honest minded opponent would
never again attempt to justify parties whose
course is so deadly hostile to the safety and
well being of the nation. Both orators were
most eminently successful in support of the
Wing cause, and we're listened TO with that
profound attention which evinces the most
decided qualification with the speakers.
We noticed splendid array of ladies in
the house. They came doubtless to cheer
on their fathers brothers and friends in the
good work, and at the close Of the meeting
evinced their deep interestin the Wing cause
and the champions who sustained it. by pre-
senting to the Hon. George P. Marsh neat
and beautiful banner set off with suitable
devices. 1t was accepted by MIR. Marsh in
a very appropriate corteous and compliment |
tary address to the fair donors.
Throughout the whole proceedings the
most perfect harmony sobriety and good |
feeling prevailed.

Not one.

And even Abolitionists, could they see
things as they ought, and knew the deep
abhorrsnce in which Mr.. Marsh regards
the abominable institution, and his ardent
desire to abolish it by any means short of
trampling upon the Constitution and the
Union, would most cheerfully give him
their suffrages upon the ground of aboli-
tiopism alone But after all, we need not
think of carrying in Mr.. Marsh without a
struggle. The Sd party are active and
make strong claims to the District. Al
though not nominated, the loco papers
present the old stereotype name Of John
Smith, as the Polekat candidate. The
whole strength ofthe Wing party must be
drawn out, or Mr. Marsh cannot be elect
ed by any thing like that triumphant ma
jority to which he is entitled.
COME OUT THEN, aye that is the

Middlebury Gathering.

Five hundred good men and true, besides
scores Of ladies were present at this meeting.
and more than were expected considering the
excellency of the day for gathering crops.
and that it was intended as meeting merely
for few adjoining towns. We always re-
joice to see the honest and intellieen, faces OF
the independent farmers Of Addison County
in council. Could the right Of suffrage be
exercised by freernen, all like them the
country, would be safe.
The people were satisfied that in Geo. P.
Marsh they had obtained a most able and
valuable public servant.
Mr.. Clarke, very respectable gentleman
from Lexington Kentucky was then called
upon to speak of the character of Henry Clay
at home and among his neighbors. He read
the letter of Mr.. Bascom, contained in our
last paper, Of whose talents, character and We
racity he spoke in terms of high :ommenda-
ton. He seemed indignant to be called up
on to vindicate the private character of Mr..
Clay, whom he represented as unimpeachcd
and unimpeachable, at home, where such
baseless aspersions as are now here in vogue
would be treated with scon and Indignation.
The meeting was closed BY short speech
from Mr.. Slade who was unexpectedly call
ed up, but addressed the meeting in his usu al
able and felicitous manner.

MIDDLEBURY TOWN
REPRESENTATIVE.

Joseph Warner was nominated a, the Fri
day evening Wing meeting. Mr.. Warner
has done well hitherto in the LeeisIatur.
He was highly respected in that body. The
wings have the power to send him again.
But to do so. certain it is they must be uni
ted! Union, concession, and harmony all
Tor the cause and nothing for men, should
be the oider ofthe day. We can carry the
State for Clay without difficulty. Still there
is danger of the election of a majority of true
unadulterated Wings in the legislature.
The croaking itinerants of Third Party have
made it point to prowl among the Noun
famous regions, and especially to infest the
small towns. Wherever they can thrust
themselves in, and prevent an election of a
Wing by helping the Locos they will do it.
They every where coalesce with the democ-
racy to overthrow the Wing power in Yer
mont. Thus we may fail of majority i. the
Legislature, and be defeated in the election
ola Wing Senator, a result of all others the
most to be deprecated. The times Of TIRES
