be removed to the Courthouse. in order that
they nigh. see, as well as hear, the speaker. II
was done so accordingly. JOSIAH RANDALL,
Esq, Of Philadelphia, was then introduced To-
the meeting, who entertained the audience with
an excellent speech of about an hour in length.
He expressed some strong, but 10 our opponents,
not very palatable truths. That was not his
fault, however. In these times the motto Of
those who are struggling for the truth should
be-" Let Justice take It's course, though the
Heavens should fall" Il is not al all desirable
that harsh and abusive language should be Ut
tered and departure from the strict line of
truth is not 10 be ioleraied-but the plain truth
should be spoken, kindly but fearlessly kindly
to those who have been egregiously deceived
and misled by those who know beter,-fear-
Iessly 10 those who have resolved to secure the
end, irrespective Of The means. Mr. Randall
asserted that there was no, one principle. upon
which the seIf-styed democratic party had IN
sisted when Jackson first came into power,
which tha. same party had not now abandoned.
This he had challenged their speakers 10 prove
false if they could. They had not attempted
it. This was indeed very grave charge, but
one that may easily be sustained.
In the evening there was some very excellent
speaking al the house of Mr.. Shvely, by Giles
NJ HiIIyer, Esq. Of New York city, and Jo-
seph Boughlon, Esq, of Binghamplon, N. Y,
and by Nj. Robert Bu,lz, of BelyIdere, N. J..
These gentlemen acquitted themselves well in
deed The remarks Of Mr.. HIllyer, especially,
were deserving of very serious consideration.
He made il evident 10 any who are capable Of
honest conviction ,ha. deep laid plan has
been ma,ured, on the part of England, to pros
lraie American industry, by The dissemination
among us of their delusse doctrines Of free
trade; free for British subjects. bu, not free for
us,-docrines suited TO the meridian of South
Carolina, and of which Mr.. Polk is the known
friend and supporter.
Thus passed off our meeting. Considering
the badness of the day, the success was signal.
| Let no one hereafter deride the Wings with
wan, of spirit The Wings of IA have the
/ same kind of stuff in them that the Wings OF
'76 had. ConIending for American principles
ihen-con,ending for them now-ihey will con-
tend for them always.
Several other Whig speakers were on the
spot, and would have addressed the people had
time permitted. There was Charles w. Jay,
Esq. Editor of the Clay Banner, Trenton, H.
D. Maxwell, Esq, of Easton, John Maxwell
and Samuel Sherred, Esqrs., Of Belvdere, all
ready for the stump, good and efficient speak
ers, one and all. Ii will not be said, we pre-
sumo, that ample provision was not made for
this meeting. II will not be said-by those
who regard what they say al any rale-thas we
made great flourish Of trumpels, announcing
the Hon. this one and that one, and failed in
The end to fulfil our promises; making, as we
had proof not long since on an occasion similar
to this, great swelling pretensIons, golden PROM
| ises, but, in the event, most lame and lmpo-
tent performance.
! In conclusion we say that the 2sih of Sep
,ember 1914, is day not soon TO be forgotten
by the Wings Of Monroe county, nor by The
Loco Focos neither. That day gave good
proof of the indomi,able spirit Of the Wings.
Now look out for the ides of October and No
vember. Nine cheers for Harry Clay Of the
West. Frelnghuysen of New Jersey, and the
gallant Markle of Westmoreland.
