On the llth inst, the wings made an effort 70 have
grea, meeting at Bridgeport on the national road, nca
the Hendricks line, composed Of the citizens Of the tive
counties, aud two or three ash poles were raised along
the road 10 attract attention. The meeting we are told
however, was any thing but satisfactory 10 he wings, fi
Democrats rallied ia the evening, and one Of Mr.. Iioa.
mans large buildings was filled 10 o~yerfowlnr. by Ia,
genuine sons OF Democracy, who were addressed b,
Messrs. Bolion and Saunders. and a great rally Of the
democracy of Hendricks and Marion counties agreed up
on at Bridgeport on Thursday the 25ih inst, lo which
Gov. Whi:comb and the public generally are invited
Mr. Br. d'.y, one Of the orators, we are Informed, wen,
ayains, the AZ aexa,ion OF Texas under any aud all cir
cums,ances sid I would fasicn the black flag Of slave

party to and the wings IA: t+eir efforts to put down slav-
cry. Scolded the aboliuoni.:s soundly for daring TO vote
AN independent ticket at the last Two annual elections
That IN Randolph county the aholil.ni,'s had suffered a
democrat 10 be elected 10 the Legislature, an that demo-
crat had prevented the election Of Oliver II .Sm.'h, who
he would have them believe was a very good ah lt"n-
isi, and cited votes which he would give had he be, "A
elected, TO prove his assertions. With tears ia lis ewes
he b%esoughi the aboliiionis's To vote for Henry Clay. the
owner OF fifty negroes, The s%amtler and the duclisi, Nr
. Ncall, the district clccior, also addressed the people.
His speech was mainly in favor Of protective ranf and
believing he had a wing audience prepared 10 swallow
every thing he would say, hs main effort was directed to
convince the people, in defiance Of all history aud exrc-
Renee, that the consumer does not pay the duiy. The
reason the democrats would not believe Ills. he ,ilus,ra,.
cd by the anecdote of the Oxford student and the calf :
tail stuck in a ~kcy-hole. The student with all L, learn.
ing, on b%eho'ding the tail, could not see how the calf had
got through SO small an aperture. 10 with the demo-
Gratis, they cannot understand the lcgcrdcmain argument
of the wings that the prodnoer pays the duiy. The
wings have made a show Of argumeni. The, have stuck
the caf's tail in the kew hole aiuly thinking the people
would believe there WAS a calf on the other side. :,
with Mr ONcalIs argument, instead Of a calf There ap.
pears on investigation to be nothing but the tail. and tlat
all know TO be worthless.
