UTAt a meeting OF the wings OF
Hartford, Connecticut, held on the 10th
ult., we notice Gen, WILSON of this place
was present, and upon invitation, addressed
the assemblage. He said he resided in the
far west, in the citadel of locofocoism, and
that he had battled many years against
fearful odds--he spoke of the county of
his residence, Howard-the sway that loco
focosm had long held over her--but said
he was glad to hear Through the polite
ness of some lady, we infer, from quota
ton copied below from the Hartford Jour
naD that the Wings and Wing principles
were about to gain the ascendancy in old
Howard. He said he expected to hear
by the next mail, that the Wings of How
ard county had, for the first time, come
off conquerorsl and routed locofocoism,
horse, foot and Dragons" If the General
lived to see the next mail (and we hope
he diD his expectations were realized,
He spoke at length on National topics, but
we have only room to give his concluding
remarks, from the Hartford Journal, in
which paper we find report of his
speech:-
In conclusion, Gen. w. congratulated the Wings
Of Hartford on the cheering prospects every where
presented to the great Wing party. Victory
perched on its banners-and the shout of triumph
again went up from its hosts! He had seen the
enthusiasm that pervaded the country in its mani
fold developments, and he knep that the day of an
overwhelming triumph was at hand!
The great statesman of Kentucky-nay of the
Union-nay more, of the World, HENRY CLAY
the day of his triumph over malignity, vtupera-
tion and abuse was at hand. His foulmouthed OPP
ponents would soon meet rebuke as emphatic as
an insulted people could render. The West would
speak in tones of thunder-the South would stand
firm to the Wing cause-and the North and East,
from what he had seen, and now saw before him,
would speak in an unanimous voice in the coming
election in behalf of the Wing cause and its great
leader. 'All is well"' is the universal response
from every section--and with exertion and perse-
verance, the Wing policy will become the perma-
nent policy Of the Government.
Gen. WILSON sat down amid long and protrac-
ted applause. His whole speech, interspersed as
it was with pithy anecdote and unique illustration,
was well received, and warmly cheered
Mr.. GoDDING "singing COON from old Var
mount, was then called for and gave capital
song, with the laughing chorus
"lla ha!! and such a mimic
as Jenny Polk of TENNESSEE"
vote of thanks was then unanimously passed
to Gen. Wilson for his address, and the meeting
adjourned in high spirits, with three roof. shaking
cheers for Old Missouri, and The fair Wing in the
county Of Ho ward!
Who is this "fair Wing in the county of
Howard" that was honored with three
roofshaking cheers?" Who is she?

STORY FOR OLD nAcunLous.

One dark, stormy night a bachelor stopped
On the steps of his door. to unlock IT,
When, horrors he found that the pass hcy had
passed
Through a wretched big hole in his pocket.
Dire visions of having to wander all night,
Like pale and damp ghost, filled his heads
Says he, "Now what steps shall take For
shall have TO take steps for bed!'
First he gave a mild ring, the servants to call,
The while his forbcarance he vaunted
The wandering cat shrieked out fierce note,
But it was not that key that he wanted,
He waited an hour for walters TO come,
And still it poured faster and faster
No tongue, but the tongue of that bell can relate
How he played on one string like master
While thus ,cringiag wet, our friend rung once
more,
Like one drowning in sight OF the land;
No master handled his subject before,
For the hanale came erin his hand :
His performance of Handel being done, retreat
A FE'pagnoi, he thought would be best;
And was told by the watch marking time on his
beat,
At the fremont he Il find u Bars neSf
Next day, when he thought his mislortunes te
tell,
His hostess, with hue rather heightened,
Said, "Sir, | do wish you would not ring the bell
For the servants We're pery much frightened :"
This tale has a moral as each one should see,
Whom the married state has not enlightened
.Neeer ring the tell, though you hare lost yOu
key
Or the servants mayhap ,cU be frightened!

The crowd was SO great, that the NOV.
Jog of The convention was delayed some
hours. before the delegates could reach
their positions. m
At the very moment that the faithful
monitor of the time, the Town Clock,
pealed out the hour of ten. three guns

lions were all formed, eight abresl, and
the Grand National Procession began 10

The scene at this moment was one of
spendor and magniticence, which can
scarcely be realized BY those who were
not presant to see it, and to hear the shouts
of Joy that were sent up on all hands.
The procession moved from the corner

HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO MICH.
GAN.

We learn from our correspondent a
Washington that bill has just passed ih'
U. s. Senate, appropria'ing for the us'
of the Central Rail Road, every alternate
section of land in strip FIVE miles wide
on each side of said road, from Ann Ar
Dor west to St. Josefhs, and where any
of those lands are sold, other lands may
be located by the State authorities TO an
equal amount, making about fre hundred
thousand acres of land for this one work ;
besides an appropriation for the Clinton
and Kalamazoo canal, Of how much we
do no, know, bu! presume it TO be the same
as that for the Central Rail Road. For
this magnificent grant, we are indebted TO
our delegation in the Senate and to that
sense Of justice and equity which has ev-
er characterized the action of the present
members of tina, body; but more particu-
larly TO the ability and indefalgable exer-
lions Of The Hon. VIM. " oodbridge whose
untiring zeal in their behalf vii be long
remembered by the people of this State.
And This is the man whom our Locofoco
Legislature wanted TO push out of his seat
by a resolution, because he could not vote
to refund the fine to Gen. Jackson.
What a beautiful comment is the pas
sage Of this bill upon the conduct of the
men who formerly represented US IN tho
United States Senate, and who were there
longer than our wing Senators have
been, their political friends having the
control, and scarce a dollar benefit were
resulting to rhe state from any action
oftheirs. Will not the people Of this
state be slow to fill the seats of our tai.
en.ed and patriotic wing senator's with
men whose theories are wonderfully
democratic but whose actions have more
influence 10 The advancement of the in.
teres,s of some prating demagogue Of
their party, than to any measures ofPrac-
teal utility to the country. We have
the most positive assurance that nothing
is wanting TO secure the passage oil this
bill in The House of Representatives. but
the united and vigorous action OF our To-
cofoco delegation in that body. Its pas
sage will secure the completion of the
Central Railroad, without adding dollar
to the state debt, and will place our state
on independent ground. We look with
anxiety 10 the manner in which our rep
resentatiyes acquit themselves IN this mat
ter of vital importance 10 the whole state.
In their hands the matter now rests.
