Old Morgan's rising

For Henry Clay and Frelnghuy.en.
Mr.. Editor--The Wings of Morgan are
at work with the same spirit which char
acterized them in 1910, and which will,
there can be no doubt, secure 10 them a
greater triumph.
There was Meeting OF the Wings at
Miller's precinct on the l7th, at which
several addresses we're delivered. Col.
Colston addressed the people, principally
upon the subject Of the Tariff, and more
perfect, sound. and clear eiucdation OF
that subject which has been so wretched.
y and williully perverted, the citizens Of
Morgan have seldom been favoured with.
MIR. Edmund Pendleton was called for,
who, although as he informed US, had al
ready spoken that day, yielded to the
wishes of the crowd, and addressed them
upon all the political topics of the day in
such a manner as to satisfy the wavering,
if any there were, and to cause the most
stubborn opponent to cIinge by his clio.
quence, and yield 10 the soundness of his
reasoning.

duced an impression, the effect Of which

was such intended, and to some extent
calculated to deceive. After which he
was followed by Maj. Roberts, who, in
his usually sound as well as pleasing
style, gave additional life to the occasion.
In fine, have the qualification of as.
surfing you that general satisfaction was
afforded, and be further assured that,
Notwithstanding the boosted lequia inf1u.
ence of the immortal Colonel of our Regi.
ment, and the many changes he expects
to effect, little Morgan will throw her
mite in the scale for Clay, by which she
will show her fidelity to the cause of
truth. There are no people who can be
more safely conhded in than those of this
County, and they are row ready, anx-

DARKESVILLE MEETING.

On last Saturday the Wings of Darkesvillo held
very spirited meeting in the grove south Of the
town. Early in the day very handsome Pole,
100 feet in length, was raised, bearing hagin'
seribed with the glorious names Of "CLAY AMI
FRELiseHuYsEs." After the Pole was securely
planted. the Procession was formed in front of DR..
Burkhsrt's door. and from thence moved to the
residence of Mrs. Stewart, where they were Joined
by a procession of Ladies, (God bless 'emD who
were carrying very handsome flag, when they
proceeded to the ground and were addressed by
James Z Stewart and Andrew Hunter, Esqs, in
their usual eloquent and mastery style.
Owing to the fatigue occasoned by attending the
Winchester Festival, the number present was not
81 large as ii would have been under other circum-
stances. The number supposed wa. between three
and four hundred.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore Patriot
WINCHESTER, I
Thursday Night, ii o'clock. (


I, 10 impossible to describe, with any,
thing like detail, the scenes Of TO- day.
1t was the greatest gathering | have ever
seen, except the Bunker Hill Convention
of 1910, tho Baltimore Convention OF
tho sane year, and the one Of May
last.
Early this morning, the people COM
menced pouring into the town IN every
avenue, on horse. back and foot, in wag-
ons, baroaches, buggies, gigs, sulkeys,
carts. and every kind Of vehicle that you
can imagine, and by ten o'clock the
streets were so crowded that It was i'm
possible TO pass and repass. The trains
of cars from Ilarper's Ferry, Chsrlestown
and informed ate places, brought up a.
least 5000 persons, amongst whom were
large number of Virginia's f.irest daugh-
tiers. Ths procession formed at III
O'Clock, and was indeed a grand affair.
There were, at the lowest calculation,
seuen thousand persons IN the procession.
cannot attemp, togiye you description
Of the banners, flags, notices, &c. &c.
Some of them were really splendid, others
entirely rev unique. The procession
was over two miles in length-they mar
ched to beautiful grove about mile
from town, where every arrangement
was made for the vast crowd. The ladies
were present in large numbers and added
to the interest of this great festival. Ii is
estimated that there were 5000 persons
IN Winchester to-day. should say that
there were, at the lowest mark, 10000
persons on the ground, amongst whom,
from 1000 to 1900 were ladies'. The ia.
b'es literally groaned under the weight Of
the best the valley of Virginia affords.
Those for the men were beautifully ar
ranged as follows: Two parallel tables,
400 feet long, with cross tables at each
end. of 60 feet. There was The greatest
abundance Of every thng--mutton, veal,
hams, chickens, ducks, pigs, apples, pears,
peaches, &C., &c. The tables for the
ladies were in a different direction, of a
circular form, and most beautifully deco.
rated, and in addition to being supplied
with all the gentlemen had, they were
provided with pies, custards, pound-cake,
almonds, raisins, &C., &c. The only be-
versge on the ground was cool ice water.
The arrangement for the water was most
ingeniously contrived--very much supe-
rior to the plan we had at Baltimore in
May. shall recommend il the "Com.
mittee on the Grounds" If we ever have
another Convention.

MR.. TYLER'S WITHDRAWAL.

The Washington Madisonian (Mr. Tylers or
gan Of the 10th inst, contains letter from Mr.
Tyler, addressed to " his friends throughout the
Union," announcing his Withdrawal "a Candidate
for the Presidency. But it appears that he has not
done so with the expectation of retiring from pub
lie, but has an eye on fat Office proifered him BY
Mr. Polk, provided he will transfer his influence to
the sinking cause of Loco Focoism. Various let
lers from Washington state that His Accideucy has
not made this last step without calculating for his
own particular ends, but is to receive from the
hands of Mr. Polk, if elected, appointment TO q
Foreign mission, and subsequently a seat the
Bench Of the Supreme Court. The following from
the Msdisonan itself, is undoubtedly sufficient to
verify the above statements. In speaking Of Mr..
Tyers merits, it says:-" And we are much mis-
taken If other than posthumoaS reuara for his
faithful services be not reserved for him by bis
eouptrymen."
So ii seems that John Tyler is little weaker
minded than he was generally thought to be. He
suffered the Loco Focos to steal his supposed fine
stsed, Texas" without even a murmur; and now
be has been bought up by them, and has also been
promised the privilege of again mounting his pill
.fsred nag which they have already spawned, Grip
pied, and windbroken, provided he will ride ii,
even to death, for the cause OF Polk-at Democracy

mates the probable majority Of the
"hards' in the next Legislature, at IL in
the House and II in the Senate. Ii ar
rves at this result in this way. The
counties heard from have elected Al
Hards, 40 Wings. and 3 So(ts, and if the
remaining fifteen counties ali elect Haids,
then the Hards will have majority OF l |
IN the House. Last year the Locofoco
majority was, according to the Reporter,
over 60. The vote, for Governor. as
far as heard from, stands thus: for Ed
wards $4,000; for Allen 81 $40.
The majority in favor of a convention
