Meeting OF the Wings OF the Fifth Congress
sional District.
AT half past seven yesterday evening, that space
Of ground which forms triangle at the junction of
Houston, Hammersley, and Bedford streets, was
tenasted by the Wing hosts of the Fifth Congress
sional District, comprising the Sth, 9th, and l4th
Wards. The platform was stout and well placed,
the music capital, and the musicians, both vocal
and instrumental, seemed to be in high wind the
crowd, too. were anxious to see proceedings COM
menced, but waited with commendabie pate nee,
amusing Themselves with staring al sky-rocket,
and the red glare OF the torches, with which the
platform we'll furnished. The weather, which
was threatening, and by turns rainy, became more
so just as the Groves were gathering In and had II
not been for this, the meeting, as 1t promised,
would have been large one. AS it was, fully a
thousand were present, but they gradually fell oil
after half an hours stay.
After some consideration of proposal to ad-
journ to National Hall, i was agreed TO go on with
the essential business Of the night but on accoun,
of two solid reasons 1t was announced that the
speaking would be dispensed with-and those rra-
sons were, first, the inclemency Of the weather,
and secondly, the absence of the orators On the
announcement being made it met with hearty
shout of approval, and loud calls of ego on" 60
on" adjourn" &c.
Mr.. D. L. BssNerr, 9Th ward, who was named

lutons prepared by the nominating committee
were read and approved of, and the name of ] B.
Scholes was applauded with good will as their pro-
posed candidate to represent the district Mr.
Stoutenburgh being called upon, sung genuine
Clay song, aud Mr.. Davis closed the proceedings
by short address in support of the resolutions, 0
Scholes, Clay, and. Wing principles in general, a
procession was then formed, which marched N
high .glee through mud, mire, and rain, to MI
Scholes' residence, for the purpose of congratu!s
ting him on the honors conferred upon him in III.
shape OF the profiered wing sufirages of the dis
trlct.
Before concluding it may be useful to intimate
that few rowdies and blackegs who by some
means or other got place upon the platform, be
came, upon the sight of our reporter, suddenly fired
with the ambition OF assaulting him, and to ase
their own language, of giving him "a cd d.
cutting" One or two persons who had sens
enough to see that reporting for the Herald was moi
quite sufficient provocation, lnertered, and thu
prevented violence. 1t would be wise precaution
at such meetings TO appoint efficient officers to keei
down the backguards who seem to ntest potica
assemblies for other purpose than raise bad feel
ing, and bring disgrace upon the party they grow
and bark for.

really melancholy to see the great mass of The
community so led away from their own Interests
