1.-The Mass Meeting held here on Thurs
day was brilliant affair. By turns The
ear was deaIened enchanted, startled, by the
combined shouts of thousands of en- thu
isastic treenen-by melodious strains Of
music, and by laundering peals ofartilIery
the eye, bewildered by the countless
lines ofyehicles, and cavalcades that pour
cd INTO the town in continual stream from
every lane and highway-by dashing
horsemen and by the gorgeous display o.
gi!t'erng banncrs, by times and often
would stray off to seek for pleasure and
Tor rest in the enlivening smiles of hosts
of patriotic ladies', who thronged The win
dows and the porlicos, waving their hand
kerchels and throwing boqnets and
wreaths among the passing crowds, and
oh! many gallant heart, for the Wings
have gallant hearts, throbbel quick with
wild deligh, when they recognised in
hrighland beautiful counIenances the evil
dence of approval, and with renewed
courage and zeal will they march forth to
the rescue-forlh TO do battle in the cause
of Clay, Frelinguysen and Pratt, ISSUED
that il is good cause, for the fair, the
'vrnops and the lovely smile upon it.
a'hc morning was misty and black and
frowning--cIouds dark as the deeds of
locolocoism hnng all around the sky and
overhead, and about eight o'clock much
raia came down, which, kept thousands al
home who intended to be present at the
meeting-we have heard Of PROFESSIONS
from adjoining states that were turned
back by it, and the prospect of the whole
day being wet and disagree able.
Buthe indomilable Wings Of Cecil who
have so long braved the storms Of dis
guisedand open tory ism and locofoccism
were not to be slaid by fear OF rain. From
Sassalras TO Octorara they came allEesl

any occasion were so many IN habi,ants of

While weeping tho usands raise the cry

While thus enslaved are thousands now
Snail hope inspire in vain?

And still unheard her strain?

And loudly sound it forth,
