WING MEETING.

There was very enthusiastic gathering of the
Wings Of this city, and the Delegates to the laie
are yet here, in front of the City Hall, on Satur
day evening last. The meeting was organized
by calling JOS II. BRADLEY, Esq. to the Chair,
after which, able and spirit-stirring addresses
were delivered by Mr.. MORGAN, member Of the
SYME, Of the Petersburg (Va) Intelligencer, Mr..
ScRUBB, of Tennessee, Mr. FORBES, of Virginia,
and Mr. ROLLINS, of Missouri. The meeting was
also favored with several excellent Wing songs
by Mr.. DUFIELD some of which demonstrated
made to jingle in rhyme as handsomely as any
word ia the English language.

For the Wing Standard.

Mr. EDIToR: In my peregrinations on Friday
evening" my attention was attracted by the bril-
liant appearance which the windows Of the Apollo
Hall presented; and, remembering that had
seen in your paper an article, which informed the
public that the ladies of the Methodist Protestant
Church intended to hold Fair at that place,
went in. The spacious saloon unfolded to my
view, at the moment entered it, scene which
was truly fascinating for the ladies', who were
at their tables, which groaned under the weight
of rich and valuable stuffs. presented galaxy OF
unparalleled beauty. To this acquisition was
connected modesty and refinement of manners
of which the most exalted of their sex might in
deed be proud
The undertaking in which those ladies are en-
gagged is laudable; for it has for its object the
promotion of the glory Of God and, therefore, it
ought to be patronized by the Christian commu-
nifty. Besides, the pleasure to,be derived from
their sweet society," should be an inducement for
gentlemen to visit them. This city can cope
with any other in the Union in the production of
gallantry, if we may be allowed to Judge from the
manner in which that qualification was exhibited
by the Washington Delegation on the second of
May, in the city of Baltimore For the informa-
ton of those individuals who love music, | will
state, that in addition to the almost unprecedented
attraction to which have alluded the evenings
of the Fair are envened by vivifying strains,
which proceed from an excellent band
The articles which are exposed for sale are
such as will be pleasing, useful, and necessary
and that which recommends them more power
fully to the lberalty of the purchaser is the fact,
that they were manufactured by the delicate
hands Of those fair daughters Of Eve. Therefore,
go, gentlemen, to this Fair, and purchase extern
sively those articles from the ladies-from those
whose only desire is to please you, and to pro-
mote the welfare of that cause in which they are
engaged, and which will eventually be the means
of their transportation to mansions of ethereal
bliss. X.
