WING RALLY AND DISCUSSION IN AUGUSTA

Upon free and general consultation between
the several committees appointed by the Union
Clay Club of Augusta at its late meeting, it has
been determined to change the time of holding
the GREAT RALLY OF THE WINGS OF
THE COUNTY from the 22nd and 23d of Au.
gust to WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY The
2SM md 29M of the same month. Among tho
various reasons which seemed TO require this
change, not the least important and conclusive
was the fact that the days first designated were
the same that had been previously fixed upon by
our Wing brethren of the neighboring district OF
Frederick for holding their Rally, and the proba-
bilty that many of the Speakers whom we ex-
pected to be with us, might, on that account, be
prevented from favoring US with their attendance.
Remember, then, Wings of Augusta, WE'D
NESDAY and THURSDAY the 2sM and o9M
of .fugust-and make them an occasion to illus
trate yonr zeal and devotion in the cause of Wing
principles.
