KulYiiYISIn,

The immense outpourng OF Wings at cur
Mass Meeting and Professions last evening alarm.
ed and irritaled our opponents. They first sent
their Empire Club 10 march wilh Music and
Banners by and partly through the Wing Meet
ing but the Wings were twenty 10 their one,
and they passed with little trouble But the
Why Procession on coming down the Rowery,
found dense mass of Locofocos on the corner
of Walker-s,rcet, who, not satisfied with Missing
and verbal insult, at last ventured to attack the
rear of the Procession when the mass OF the
Wings were out of hearing ahead The essall-
ants were armed with Clubs, slung. and
knives, by which several Wings were injured
Mr.. Harrington was struck on the head with
slung-shot, and badly cut; and two or three ban
ners were torn to pieces-that OF the Sailors
especially A portion OF the Wings in advance
having turned back, the assaiants fled; but
when the Procession reformed and passed on,
the attack was renewed near the corner Of
Division, and only repelled in Chatham Square
Again, when the procession passed the room
of the Empire Club, Park Row, a rush was again
made upon the Wings, as the Thirteenth Ward
was passing, its Banner was destroyed, and Nh
Edward Collins was very badly cut in the head
probably with slung.shot He was walking
quietly before the banner in the Procession, hold
ing his little son by the hand. He was taken in
To the Park House, where his wounds were
dressed hat lent him in place of his own
which was stolen or lost when he was struck,
and he was sent home. We trust his injuries are
not dangerous. We did moi hear that any other
was seriously Injured at this place.
A desperate malignity has been fcstered in the
hearts of portion of the Loco. tocos Of cur city,
By the harangues of their orators respecting the
antsgonism of the Rich TO the Poor, &c. and
we are under constent apprehension that some
murd,rous attack viii be made on the Wings
Conspicuous among the Loco-Foco rowdies last
evening was a notorious man-slayer, and another
rrffiaI, pugilist, who has just been sentenced 10
the Penitentiary fo- an assault on a female, but
instantly psrdonca by Gov. Bouck, before he
could be sent to prison.
II Since writing the above, we have seen a
part of the Banner of the Seventh Ward, which
! was IuSUCu upon upiu lIiS LiiipAiS Niuo Heau

End the banner torn in two, and one half utterly
destroyed

/ Club This Club was the last in the procession; ;
and i; was attacked by q gang of rowdies as 1t
passed down the Bowery-out they were driven
Of, and Ietreated. They rallied again, however,
and renewed the a,taSk as the Procession came
into Chatham sueet-this time with mere effect
The Club however, rallied, and under the lead
Of Mr.. Joseph T. J. Sturgis, OF jersey City,
drove the ,ufians from the ground-but not re-
fore the standard. bearer, George w. williamson
had been knocked down by leading bully
with club, and the banner carried OFF The
| flagstaff was recovered, but The banner itself
could not be found. Mr. Williamson, who was
stunned by the blow, also received severe cut
across the hand, probably with Bowie knife,
and was taken to the Hospital, where every atten-
ton was immediately shown him.
