in several of the heretofore strong Wing
States the game is up. We have been
doubtful of the propriety heretofore O!
placing Kentucky in the Democratic
line, but the Tribune "brags" so low
upon that State we think we may claim
it with certainty. That paper says f;
"We believe Louisiana is lost on An
nexation, and that Kentucky will give us
only some 5000 on Governor.
Kentucky, it will be recollected, was
at the last Presidential Election, the

Greeley is evidently alarmed. Speak
ing of annexation, he says
"This will change the votes of Louis

and give the Wings of other Southern
States their hands full to defeat the Poll

find that we are mistaken in these i'm

MIR Spauding, Of Montpelier for Trea-
surer.
AS to numbers in attendance, the
coons turned out very we'll The pro-
cession counted about $500. This is the
honest count, and pains were taken to
arrive at the number by several individu-
ais. There were some out Of the pro-
cessions, some democrats, and some
wings. As far as numbers were con-
cerned, it was very respectable, but |
consider i; a very coM affair.
There was none of that spirit of 1910.
no enthusiasm for the corrupt Clay, and
all they have made by it they are well
come to. Danl Webster was not here

disposed of himself, had he been a man

DEAR SlR,-You will see in the Repub-
lican the account of our County Conven-
ton. 1t is throwing out powerful inAu-
cnce upon every part of the county and
whatever may be said of other parts of
the state it is fact that old Franklin is
doing gloriously, The party arc WIDE
awake and in the highest spirits. Our
Convention was adjourned to Sheldon,
July It'll, where we shall have a real
turn out. The wings have been drum
ming up recruits for fortnigh for the state
meeting at Burlington-oflcring every
inducement to people to go-iurnishing
expense money, Sc, tel ling them that
j. q. Adams and Daniel Webster were
to be there and sundry other wing mag
mates. Meetings were holden to make
arrangements--hand bills crculated-a
band oimusic engaged splendid banner
provided-lour marshals appointed, &c.
The northern and north eastern Sec
tons of the County were invited to assem-
bic at st. Adams and unite with the great
wing procession which was to start from
this village. Tuesday came at last, but
our sleek wing gentry here dare not
trust their dignity with common pro-
cession of the people. The wing far
mers-some ofthc rankest kind in rath-
err spare numbers with their boys and
hired men whom they had tempted out
by the offer of a holy-day, began to as
semblc. Our wing gentlemen, mot liking
the looks of the men in straw hats and
rusty shoes, with their perspiring horses
and muddy waggons) began to slip Off
some went by boat, and when the grand
procession came to start, they numbered
fourteen double and single Wagons, and
besides the band and marshals only two
citizens of St. Adams could be found.
st. Adams whiggery furnishes the sorry
looking coons witt, two marshals, but
they could not stoop so low as to ride in
procession with them even for once to a
convention. They were to have a great
rush by the steam boat it was said but
when that came to leave, but seventy
were found to go. The truth is that
there are many in the wing party who
heartily despise and loathe this abomin-
able way OF making presidents.
Yours truly.

So true has Mr. Polk been to all the
great democratic measures, and so fully
does he enjoy the confidence ofhis friend
and neighbor, ANDREW JACKSON, that
the wings have given him the sobriquet
of the "YouNG Hickory" We take the

We were Glad III notice the healthy and eigs

to The dreadful riots of the preceding night,
While all deplore and deprecate the murders
committed within the last few days, all are equal
" indignant at the burning of churches, and the
other awful scenes by which Wednesday was
charac terized.
THE PUBLIC FEELING.
There was general burst of indignation
throughout the community yesterday in relation
to the fearful dongs Of the night before, and es-
pecialy with regard 10 the burning of st. Angus
tines church. On all sides might be heard the
question, what are we coming to? The rioters
were denounced in the strongest terms The
feeling every where was IN support of the public
authorities An immense town meeting (num-
bering about 100000 was held in the State House
yard at 10, A. M, at which John M. Reed Esq,
presided, and some excellent resolutions pre-
scented by Horace Binney, Esq, were adopted by
reclamation. Mr.. Binney's remarks were Judi
cous and to the point, in favor OF sustaining the
laws, assisting the authorities, and restoring the
public peace. John X. Kane, Esq., also spoke
well and pertinently.
Josiah Randall, Esq, said that he was present
during the whole Of the scene at st. Angustine's
Church--that the active rioters did not amount
to more than fifty, and that large portion of
these were half-grown boys Perfect unaninily
prevailed at the meeting, which was composed Of
citizens of all classes and conditions of llfe-the
feeling being general and strong, in favor of
prompt and efficient measures, to check the spirit
of disorder and violence by which Philadelphia
haa been SO deplorably disgraced. Ing

Mr. DROMGOOLE moved an adjournment
The yeas and nays were demanded, and or.
dered.
Mr.. HOLMES, Of S. c., rose to be excused
from voting, and struggled very hard to assign
some reasons why he should not vote to adjourn,
which reasons would answer equally well for his
opposition to the existing Tariff. ~
The SPEAKER called him to order.
Mr.. SCHENCK moved he be allowed to pro-
coed in order; but as the yeas and nays were
threatened again, this motion was Withdrawn, and
Mr. HOLMES submitted as gracefully as posi-
Bile.
The yeas and nays were called on the motion
to adjourn, which was lost by ayes 9O, noes II.
The yeas and nays were then called, for the
last time, on the question of reconsideration and
the House, after the Locofocos had done writing,
twisting, and turning, refused to reconsider the
vote whereby they had laid the British" Tariff

due form announced, that death had just oc-

customary eulogy, but probably designed to leave
