Report of the Delegates TO the Wing National
Convention. Accounts say that the assemolage
was one OF the most numerous ever held IN that
time honored eGifce Tickets had been issued
TO Ladies 70, admission into the galleries, which,
however, were not sufficient to accommodate tie
vast numbers who wished 10 be present on the
occasion.
After the Vice President OF the Wing Club,
JoHy C. PARK had taken the Char and stated
the objects OF the meeting, Mr.. GEORGE TYLER
B!eELow presented certain resolutions approving
of the nominations OF the Convention, preiaced
BY an Address. The resolutions were unani-
mously approved Of Mr.. CHAPMAN, Delegate
from the City OF Boston, next addressed the meet
inr. on the conclusion Of whose remarks, Hon.
DANIEL WEBSTER arose amid cheers, which for
come moments drowned his volce.
From llf. WEBSTER speech, which = as sonc-
what lengthy, &c make the iollo@ing extracts:
l am happy to say that during my political
life. | have known 40 lime when the great prn!-
ciples of the Wing party which | consice; Tie
cardinal principles o1 GOOD Government, were 80
esneraly received by wings IN all parts OF the
country as thcy new are Applause Will al
lude TO but one Of these-a Just and reasonable
protection Of American industry IN raising re-
venue in Other words, Tariff Great cheer
ing.)
Now, Gentlemen, feel much respect for the
Wings OF the South, for the nationality OF sentl
ment they have manifested upon this point
esteem them for bursting the shackics OF local
preudces, for their broad and general feeling Tor
the interests of the whole country, which does
them infinite honor and greatly promotes our ad-
vantages honor such men as Berrlen Cheers
Archer, Cheers and others, who, living IN
very different state OF society from ourS-b0fn
and bred in an atmosphere, shall say periumed
with the odor of different doctrines from these
which we cherish, have acknowledged, and agreed
to- the great doctrine that protection to the labor
of the country isa political axiom OF the highest
Importance.
But will not dilate upon this topic, because
Just appreciation Of this doctrine is now rapid
" spreading over all the land-from East TO West,
from North to South because l feel that all at
tempts to agitate the subject, with view 10 re-
verse the general sentiment upon 1t, Will utterly
fail: and because entertain the confident hope,
may not say belief that the present Congress,
when it shall see fit TO RISE will leave the subject
undisturbcd.
Gentlemen, | think there can be no doubt
that the proceedings of the Baltimore Convention
were such as in both their great results, both co
and ought to crafty the Wings Of the whole
country. (APplausc)
In regard to the nomination for the first Of
fice the Convention had nothing-or, at least, but
little-else to do, than to give utteranco TO the
I tth
taken possession of the public mind. 1t was not
necessary for any one there, neither is it ncccS-
sary for me, here, to enlarge in the discussion OF
the propriety Of that nomination.
| 10 not come among you tonight to cXtol
the character of the gentleman who has been Sc
lectcd as the Wing candidate for President. |
have already said that the nomination meets my
entire and hearty appreciation. (Checrs.) l come
neither
Ito bury Casar. nor to p:al lse him
To praise, to commend Henry Clay! For me,
who have spoken so often, here and elsewhere, my
opinion of the merits OF him whom the Wings
have selected as their candidate, without-so far
as my knowledge extcnds-a dissenting voice, for
me TO praise HIM were indeed
''INa.tefu and ridiculous excess"
And as to burying him, gentlemen, however ap-
propriate that may be 10 those who are hIs COM
petitors, it is very inappropriate to me- Great
laughter and chcerng0
concur with equally sincere qualification,
gentlemen, with the nomination for Fice-rresi
dent. ,Applause) hardly dare venture 10
speak of the gentleman named for tins office, be-
cause besides nv great respect for him as puh-
lie man, besides my high regard Tor MS public
virtues and public services, cherish particular,
may say an aticctionaic, esteem ior the lowell
ness of his private character for ali those virtues
which adorn his private life. (Cheers
Gentlemen our candidates are now before us.
They arc before us under auspices of perfect TN
ion. so lar as know, and the on y question which
remains for US 10 consider is, whether by an fort
of orrs-a reasonable and judlclOuS ctloft-we
can elect them.
Nv purpose now, as | have sad, is to offer
some few practical suggestions on the state oi
our country and party. OGc leading fact which
addresses itself to the mind in the connection |
have been pursuing, rs that ~ our New England
there are no, only mary cities, towns aud villages
which are the centres o' general Information. but
many hamlc,s removed from the sphere ofits intiu-
ence SUBMIT il to every IN IN at all acquainted
with the country, whether this is not true. In the
cities and large towns, where papers are daily
printed and received by mail, from all quarters
of the country; where one man meets another,
and interchangcs intelligence with his neighbor
every hour, there you will find i-rty-five out OF
every fifty OF such cities, towns and villages TO
be Wing. Loud cheers But along the noun
tain sides, in the remote glens and recesses of
civilization, where man has access to, and reads
but one newspaper, adherng to but one school of
politics, what can we expect from such man
but entire acquiesence in that school, and deter
mined aversion n all others
Now, my friend-, | say here, as | said at
Baltimore, We must make ourselves missionaries.
We must carry light into dark places. (Cheers.)
We must raise our voices and expound cur prin-
ciples; we must ditfiuse knowledge among those
who are not so favored as ourselves. And for
this end, there IS no more advantageous means
than public addresses aad meetings, throughout
the whole country. 1t is OF the highest import
ance to meet men in their own localities; because
an invitation TO attend public address viii al
ways attract more or less u those opposed in SEN
timent TO the speaker, and there is ever some
chance that truth spoken or new views present
ei ch.npe spch hearers from their erropo
