Great Wing Meeting i'm New
YOrk-Nr. FrclinghUysCn

On Monday, the 9th ult, as we have al
ready stated, one of the largest meetings
ever held in the city of New York assem-
bled in the Park, in that city, to respond to
the nominations of the Baltimore Conven-
ton. 1t is estimated that at least ten thou
sand Wings were present. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed, and eloquent speeches
were made by several distinguished gentle.
men. After the meeting adjourned, the
Wings formed procession. and marched
to the residence of Mr.. Frelinghuysen, to
congratulate him on his nomination to the
Vice Presidency. He made his appearance,
and, after long, hearty, and most onthusi-
astic greeting. proceeded TO address the i'm
mcnsc assemblage, in a speech, of which
we find the following report in the New
York Express:
Mr.. FRELINGHUYsEN's SPEECH.
Ny FELLOW. CITIZENS, thank you for
your enthusiastic appreciation of the nomi-
nation lately made by the Wings of the
United States, assembled in Convention at
Baltimore. To be selected by such body
of distinguished patriots, is an honor |
most deeply and sensibly feel, and the more
deeply and sensibly, that it is so checrfully
ratified by my friends and neighbors in
New York. | can only say, that such a
mark of kindness will strengthen my at
tachments to Wing principles, if such
strengthening were necessary, and that it is
certainly calculated to make me strive 10

STATE Bank Of Illinois Important De-
ciSion.-At The present term of the Su-
Preme Court Of this State, it was unqn-
'~nsOus'y decided that all tie real estate
owned by the State Bank, in Illinois,
was, under the provisions of its charter,
exempted from taxation, for either State
or county purposes. The principle set
tied by the decision clearly exempts the
real estate Of the institution also from
city taxes. The case came mp on appeal
by the bank from the Cook Circuit Court:
Judge Smith having decided on the cir
cut that its real estate was subject 10
taxation. THIS docison will, to some ex-
tent, benefit the creditors Ct the bank.
while at the same time it will diminish
IN no slight degree the revenue of the
State. The bank cannot own less than
one million of dollars in real estate, up-
on which taxes have heretofore been
paid by il, for State, county and civ
purposes; but from which hereafter i
will be received by this decision.

of the court, the case having been
