sion. Were We 10 attempt to describe the appear
ance of one half of the delegations, We should re-
qulre more room than our columns afford, and
therefore we must at present content ourselves
by giving general, though imperfect account OF
the gathering -.
A portion Of one delegation was drawn by SO
horses, guided by 26 rders-representng the diff
ferent States. There were also several other
vehicles drawn by very large number of horses,
and decorated with flags bearing various devices.
At about 2 o'clock procession formed
and under the command of the Chief Marshal
and his assistants, 1t marched to an orchard, a
short distance north of the town, where large
rostrum had been erected and seats prepared for
the ladies'. In the procession was large num-
Der of Wing ladies'. While the delegations in
the rear of the procession were entering the or
chard, the choir sang three four songs after
which the meeting was organized by the unani-
nous election of DIR. PHINEAs jerks, as Presi-
dent, and also of large number of Vice Pres-
dents and Secretaries. AT this time there were
in front of the stand at least TWO THOUSAND of
the most beautiful and intelligent ladies in Bucks
county. The assembage was SO large that no
one attempted computation of the number pre-
sent. Suffice 1t to say that they occupied THREE
OR FOUR ACRES OF GRoUND The stage was or
namented with wreaths, festoons, and banners,
wrought by fair hands, and above the speakers
stand we observed that very " same old COON"
After the officers had taken their seats, the
audience was ably though briefly addressed by
Josiah Randall, Joseph r. Chandler, and VIM B.
Reed Esqs., of this city. Before the first speaker
was introduced to the meeting, motion was
made and carried, that three four of the GENTLE
men who were engaged to speak, as we'll as some
Of the officers, should proceed to the town and
organize another meeting, in order to afford all
an opportunity of hearing Wing principles ex-
planned by able advocates Of the cause. Accord
lDgly, another meeting was organized in front of
Hough's Hotel. Thousands gathered around the
temporary stand, and listened to eloquent ad-
dresses delivered by Hon E. Joy Norris and Ma
than Sergeant Esq, both Of this city. This meet
ing adjourned at about four o'clock, and immedi-
ately reassembled in the yard back of the tavern,
where speeches were delivered by Gen. Rogers
of Tennessee, and John b. Mitchell, ESQ.,, of
Doylestown. #a
Several persons present who have attended
very many meetings, estimated the entire assem-.
bage at Newtown on Saturday, at between ff-
teen and twenty thousand The enthusiasm
manifested has never been exceeded at any ga
thering in this State. Some of the ladies' in at
tendance came from townships twenty or thirty
miles distant, and when they arrived they seemed
to be ready and willing at once to participate in
proper manner in the exercises and enthusiasm
of the occasion. Those who resided in Newtown
made every possible effort to accommodate their
sisters from abroad and all rendered efficient as
sistance in the preparation of banners, festoons,
and wing emblems. Such patriotism on the part
of the ladies, can not fail to ncite their fathers,
brothers, and husbands, to renewed exertions in
behalf of our common country. Long may they
live to perform those services which have won
for them the thanks of all patriotic Wings and
it is the fervent hope of all honest and enlighten-
ed citizens, that our nation may ever hereafter
experience the blessings which will be secured
by the permanent establishment of the principles
advocated by wing men, and sanctioned by wing
ladies'. .@- E@& -"
The Wings of Bucks county are coming in their
might to the support of the pure democratic prin-
cples of our party; and in October and Novem-
Der next, they will boldly manifest their patriot
ism by nobly coming to the support of CLAY, FIRE.
