The Wings of old Berkeley had glorious
time on Thursday last. The day was most pro-
pitious-the sun mild in its beams, and every
thing bright and beautiful There were not less
than 5000 persons on the ground, and nearly
1000 of these in the procession, with appropriate
banners and devices.

in all the arrangements. The hospitality of the
| citizens of Martnsburg was exercised most mu-
nifcenty The attendance from Jefferson and
Frederick was pretty full, and Maryland sent
over number of her gallant sons. Back Creek
Valley poured out its hundreds, and all seemed
animated by the best spirit.

Extract off letter from a gentleman, dnted

PENNSYLVANIA, Oct. IL, 1914.
The returns of our election will have shown
you, before this gets to hand, the cause of General
Markets defeat The abotionisls, you perceive,
had separate candidate, for whom they gave
nearly 1000 votes. Had this mass of voters gone
with all their influence tor the Wing candidate,
he would have been elected. In November the
case will be different. The whole of this vote,
with all their influence, will be given to Mr.. Clay,
not because they are particularly attached to him.
but as the issue is narrowed down in this
State to Tariff or Texas, they will not hesitate 10
go for the Tariff. Many of the most influential
aboltionsls are themselves manufacturers, or
live in neighborhoods where those establishments
are located, and derive greatadvantages from them
by the sale of their agricultural productions, &c.
In Ohio, you perceive, the abolitoniss surrender
ed their candidate for Governor, and went in
mainly for the Wing candidate they saw the
game played by men who protessed TO be ardent
and devoted abotionsts, but who proved to be
devoted Polk and Texas men, and whose object
was to induce the honest portion of the Liberty
party to vote the Liberty ticket, whilst they deter
mined to vote secretly for the Polk and Texas
candidate thus you perceive knavery and dupl-
city does not always succeed.
In New York understand the Liberty party
will not give their support to the anti Tariff and
Texas candidate, by voting for Brney. They
say we might as well vote directly for Mr. Polk as
to vote for Mr.. Birney, and thereby abstract SO
many votes from the Wing and Tariff candidates.
You may rely upon it, they are not to be duped
by set of political cheats, such as have taken
charge Of Mr.. Folks interest. The Wings are
confident Of carrying this State (Pennsylvania)
next month.
P. s. Senator Walkers Tract, The South in
Danger" has just reached this part of the State,
and is creating great panic amongst the Polkites
and anti-Tarif1 party.

THE ALLEMANCE MEETING, NORTH
CAROLINA

The Wings of Orange county, North Carolina,
and the adjoining counties. have had large and
enthusiastic convention at Allemance, one of the
battle-ground between the people and the tories
in the earlier period of the Revolution. The
number present is estimated at four thousand
an immense gathering for the sparsely populated
region of North Carolina. James Mebane, ESQ,
of Caswel presided. The speakers were Mr.
Hugh Waddell of Hllsborough, John Kerr of
Caswell, Maurice Waddel of Chatham John G.
Haughton and Giles Mebane of Orange Mr.
Guthrie of Chatham, Mr.. Russ, Charles Manly
II. w. Miller Ralph Gorrell, Judge Badger, ii.
X. Nash, and Colonel Long.
The convention lasted two days and nights,
and was characterized by the greatest enthusi-
asm and good feeling.
Judge Mangum, who resides in the county was
prevented from attending by sickness.

TAYLOR COUNTY.

We learn from the Clarksburg Republican that
the Wings of Taylor county held their mass Con-
vention in a grove dj,nng Pruntytown, on
Thursdy, the Sd instant. The turnout of the
people was unusually large, notwithstanding the
threatening aspect Of the weather. during the
greater part of forenoon. Col. James M. Camp,
of Lewis, was chosen President, with number
of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
Gen. C.. F. Mercer addressed the people for
three hours, in an interesting and instructive
speech, which was listened to with the most re-
spectfuI attention, and, we hope, with telling
effect. The distinguished speaker cursorily re-
viewed the three great questions, upon which the
Wings and their adversaries are at variance, and
shed vast deal of light upon them all, and the
opinions of the leading men of both parties in re-
lation to them, which was received with marked
degree of satisfaction by those who. heard him.
In the evening, the people were addressed at
tho court house, by Messrs. Wiley and Pier.
point, who were both well posted upon the ques.
tons of the day.

THAT LAST CARD.

1t is currently rumored about town that that
deectable Card Of Instructions to the Captains,

signatures of JAMES TOWLES, Chairman

be wondered at

OHIO.


The fruits of the recent election in Ohio are
thus stated in the Columbus Journal of the 18th
instant: ,r
But, what are the fruits of Tuesdays victory !
A WING GOVERNOR!
A Wig Senate, for The first time for gears !!
A Wing United States Senator -!
A Wing House,!
A Wing Auditor of Stals!!!
And The permanent establishment Of a sound Wing
policy throughout the length and breadth Of the
Slate :!
The returns for Governor are not yet complete,
but from the best calculations we can make, Mr.
Bartley's majority will not be far from THREE
THOUSAND! This majority is not as high as we
could have wished, but it is sufficient to render
the State certain for Mr.. Clay by from EIGHT to
TEN THOUSAND! Thousands who voted for King
and Tod, at the last election, will rally to the
Wing banner at the Presidential election, to save
the country from war and dishonor and defeat the
wretched, selfish, and dsorganizing schemes of
the Southern Annexationists.

mia confidently predict glorious triumph for Mr.
Clay in that State, over Mr.. Polk. In fact, if
Locofoco admissions can be relied on, the Wings
may count upon the vote of Pennsylvania with
the utmost certainty. Locofocos have all along
acknowledged, that unless Skunk was elected by
eight thousand, they would hang their harps upon
the willow. They have always claimed fifteen to
twenty-five thousand

THE NEXT SENATE OF THF UNITED STATES.
At

The elections from which we have heard dur
ing the week past, have secured to us that npor-
tant body, the Senate of the United States. This,
of itself alone, giving US that great conservative
treatymakng, and appointment ratifying power,
ls most important victory. So, if Mr. Polk could
be elected, Wing Senators would havo control
over all his appointments, and all his proposed
measures. This is an important consideration
for Polk office -seekers-for they can get nothing
of Importance, if Polk is elected, and will be
wholly in the power of the Wings.

STOP THAT FALsEHoOD /!

The Globe of last evening copies a scandaous
talsehood against us from the Belfast (Maine)
Republican Journal" 1t says the Z" Wing Stand
ard, a rabid Clay paper published in Washington,
Is edited by man who, within couple of years.
wrote the following violent article for the col
umns of The Madisonian, about Henry Clay" and
then gives couple of paragraphs of miserable
abuse of Mr.. Clay as ever were strung together
by even Amos Kendall After giving these vile
paragraphs, the fellow closes his article (Which
the Globe copies, and, we presume, endorses,) as
follows: ...a
This was written, remember, by the editor of
the Wing Standard not three years ago. 1t is
not 'uile Loc0foco abuse of the great embodi-
ment."
Now we have already put down this vile false
hood once, and we put it down again, by saying
that the editor Of the Wing Standard never in
his life wrote line or word abusive Of HENRY
CLAY. We shall see if the Globe will now take
back the falsehood
THE GLOBE AND BEDFORD BROWN.
The pruneness of the Globe to falsify and mis-
represent has long been proverbial. Indeed, it
seems to prefer telling an untruM to truth. In
that paper Of last evening is the following para
graph:
SAL who keep the run of politics will recol-
lect that Mr.. Brown resigned his seat in the Sen
ate of the United States in 1910 under the in
structions of wing legislature. When did a
wing do likewise? Never"
Now "mark how plain tale will put down"
the last assertion of the "Globe man. which is
made without the least qualification.
John Tyler and Benz. Watkins Leigh (when
the former was furious Henry Clay whig,) re-
signed their seats in the Senate, after receiving
instructions from the Legislature Of Virginia.
William C. Rives, who is now wing, did the
same thing, on a previous occasion. So also did
Willie P. Mangum, the present wing President
of the Senate.
In 1889, Hugh L. White and Ephraim H. Eos.
ter resigned their seats in the Senate, after re-
ceivng instructions from the Legislature of Ten
nessee.
Now, will the Globe man" tell ho,o many
times the Legislature of North Carolina had to
instruct or request Mr.. Bedford Brown to resign.
before he could make up his mind to comply and
how many months there remained at the time in
his unexpired term!
The fact is, he publicly refused at first to re-
sign, upon the plea that the Legislature used the
term request" instead Of instruct" and finally,
when absolutely driven out of the Senate, just
before the expiration OF his term, by the force of
public opinion, he gave as reason for his resig-
nation, the fact that he was not representing the
wishes Of the people of his State.

which, as it stands, is majority of two.
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The political character of this body will not be
determined till after the Presidential election,
when, in all probability, the elections to occur
will follow that great result.

GEORGIA.

We have returns from but one additional coun-
ty (Decatur) in the Second district, which gives
a majority of l03 for Crawford. This leaves
Jones AZ votes ahead, and Irwin county to hear
from, which, in lS43, gave Locofoco majority of
246 Jones is, therefore, doubtless elected. The
delegation from this State, in the next Congress,
will be as follows!
1st dist.-Thos. Butler King (W)
