Glorious WING Rally in Sewb,rrSh'
l'ntrnsnnnhance of The Tflhune.

NEWcCRGu. July -, icfi
TIE Wings had glorious meeting here last
evening. Several Of them had been engaged dn
ring the day in fitting up room in the principal
street Of The village intended for a Reading Room
and also lor their political meetings. Hand bills
gave notice that the meeting was tn be addressed
by several gentlemen from Ncw.York. a spIcn-
did na,ioual flag, inscribed IN large letters with
the glorious names of" Clay and Frellnghuysen,"
names which are endcarcd to the heart every true
Whg in the land, was unfurled amid the cheers
of the assembled multitude. At an early hour the
room was filled it was literally " a regular JAM"
The meeting was organized by appointing the
different officers. MIR. Parsons from your city
was the first to address the meeting. For about
an hour he appealed to the heans OF all present To
support Henry Clay, the statesman and the pa
triot, and Theodore tre.lnghuysen, the philin-
thropist and the scholar, Tor President and Vice
President. He reminded them in conclusion that
in their village was once the head quarters Of
George Washington, the greatest wing that ever
breathcd. He sat down amid three times three
from the delighted audience. Mr.. Tomnson,
also from New York, followed, who for a little
over an hour spoke with eloqucnce and force,
prlnclpiIy upon INC idfM anu leAts, du3isiiB
the Wings TO prefer "Cay, FreIinghuysen and
the United States" to " Polk, Dallas and Texas"
The speaker was frequently interrupted in his re-
marks by enthusiastic cheers. After song the
meeting adjourned. Depend upon it, the Wings
will achieve a glorious victory in our village
The signs Of the times cannot be mistaken. Sc.
veral young men Of our village have organized
themselves into an Ashland Association their
motto is, " Boys in 40, Men in M" There are
doubtless others who can say boys m "A, men in
As. The Whig Reading Room is beautifully
decorated with banners, &c. with mottos in.
scribed upon them such as thesc-'' Protection to
American Labor "Thc Union without Texas,
rather than Texas with the Uniun," "The til.
umphs of 40 await the Wings Of A." and nu.
merOus others. Yours, &c. d. x. P

THE MANSION HousE, ALBASr.-This house
which has always borne high reputation among
travellers, has recently undergone complete renova-
ton, The interior having been rearanged through
oat in comfortable parOrs and sleeping rooms, and
il is now OF the best kept houses al the Capital
The furniture is new throughout and OF the most
fashionable description. The location is yery cen
,ral on Broadway, near Siate-street, and Mr. La

pertains 60 his vocation, and doing all in a manner

STEAMER TAy.-The barque Rapid, arrived
yesterday in Il days from Havana, reports that
the British steamer Tay, previously reported
ashore on the CoIoradcs and supposed 20 be lost,
arrived off the Moro Castle in distress on the 9th
inst without cables or anchors. She was board.
cd by the captain of the Pos!-boat as the Rapid
came out OF the harbor, and when last seen was
lying 10, as was supposed waiting for anchors be
fore she would enter the harbor. She appeared
TO have but few men on board. The Spanish
Government, steamer and G schooner of war went
10 her assistance two days before. Sho appeared
very light, and the top Of her whecIhouse wss
gone.

whic Meeting I'm MARYLAND.

A gathering of the patriotic Wings OF the East.
crn shore of Maryland was held at Denton, Caro-
line County, on Tuesday the 23d instant. The
number present was between three and four
thousand, among whom were many charming
Ladies.
The place OF meeting, says the Baltimore Pat
riot. was 4 beautiful grove, contiguous to Denton.
a rosirum was here erected. tastefully decorated
with flags, banners, sc. In front Of it were
many SEATS, most OF which were occupied by la
dies, whose blooming checks and smiling counte.
nances lent 10 the occasion charms irresistible.
We are told-and il is q significant omcn-that
nearly nine cut of every ten of the fair daughters
Of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, as elsewhere
throughout the land, are lov Clay and Frellng-
huyscn, for the Wings and their cause. The
irresistible inference, then, is that success must
crown those who are on the side OF the ladies.
The boat from Baltimore, with her good Whig
cargo, was greeted at every point, on both sides
of the river, by these fair flowers, with waving
handkerchicis, both going and returning. Their
welcomes were responded TO by cheers and music
from the band.
Gen. WIN. POTTER presided, assisted by several
Vice Presidents and Secretaries \ series of re-
solutions expressive Of the Wing creed was passed
by acclamation. After listening to eloquent and
uncontrovertible arguments in favor OF the Wing
policy and the election of Mr.. Clay, from T. R.
LoocKERMAN, Hon. JOHN P. KENNEDY, Col. Tho
MAS G. PRATT, Wing candidate for Governor,
GEO. Z. RICHARDSON, and others, three Delegates
10 represent Caroline County in the next Legisla-
tu-c were nominated, and the Convention ad.
journcd determined to give the Farmer of Ash.
land greater majority in Maryland than the
Hero of Tippecanoe received in 1910. And they
will do it.

Thc nInrmon Ou,rnces.

We publish letter from the scene of the recent
Mormon outragcs, written by a respectable c!i.
zen of Hancock County, ILL., and making its state
ments in temperate tone and spirit The article
is entitled to 90 before the public, and the appeal
of the writer for It's insertion in The Tribune is
chcerfully complied with. Let no man, however,
argue from this that ce believe that the facts sta
ted by our corrcspondcnt-evcn had they been
ten times stronger than he represents them-fur-
niShcd the ehtest justification for The murder Of
the Smiths. That, in whatever light It's viewed,
II was a cold-bloodcd, barbarous, brutal outrage
and the certainty that its perpetrators will never be
brought to Justice shall have no influence to make
us withhold the expression OF our horror at all such
bloody deed. Whatever they had Gunc-how
black soeyer were their crIncS-they were de-
fenceless and in the hands of The laws, under a
solemn pledge of their protection as well as jus
ucc, ard the people Of Illinois had not the slight
est excuse for taking it Tor granted that those
laws would not be cniorctd-laws, be 1t under
stood, which emanatcd from themselves and were
to he administered by their oicn chosen insiru-
men,s. In this Country, thank Heaven! VIC have
q peaceful and efficient remedy for all abuses Of
political power, whether executive or representa-.
,iyc-;he BAllot.Rox; and those who resort to
any other especially the remedy OF force
and y;clcncc, deserve not the name OF American
citizens.
Do not the people Of illinois see that the evils
under which they have suffered, and the circum-
stances unaeg which the monstrosity of Nor
monisn has thrven into such portentcus dlmen-
SONS, have been Of their own choosing Who
gave Joe Smith foothold in Illinois whence to
leap above the law and set its ministers at def
arce? Who conferred upon the Mormons a
Charter granting unusual and extraordinary pyi-
vileccs whose exercise has led 10 this bloody ter
minstion Who empowered Joe Smith 10 or
game all independent army within the territory
OF the State of Illinois, to establish himself as
petty and irresponsible military despo;, reigning
over his subjects with the double tyranny of mill
tary fo,ce and religious superstition Who did
al this but The Loco. Foco Governor and Legis-
la.urc of Illinois, elected BY the People Of Ia
nois In The answer to this question lies the
cause OF the recent disasters as well as the only
suggestion for their prevention in The future.

Manufactures and Agriculture at ihe



The attention Of our readers vii! be arrested
by two articles in this days Tribune from ih'
lSuoannah Republican, fonc on the fourth page
and the other ON this on the subject oil Manu-
faclures and Agriculture at tue South Inc
Republican has recently been accused by one O.
the many reckless and dishonest Loco. FoCo papers
which are trying to lie the Country out OF the
Tariff, of being lukcwarm in the Wing cause anc
disposed to fight shy of the Protective Policy Sc
broadly and unequivocally avowed by the Wings
every where throughout the Union. This charge
was of course utterly groundlcss as We knew at
tho time and if the Editor who made it can read
the noble articles from the Republican which we
print to-day, and not blush to the remote tips Vi
his cars, he will prove that his imPudence IS even
greater than his rnalignity.
To one not acquainted with the secret springs
Of Public Opinion at the South, her bitter and
unrelenting opposition TO the Tariff and to protect
ing the Labor of the Country would be matter
OF perfect astonishmcnt. Nosection of the Union
80 much needs Protection, or, under healthy
state of public sentiment, could make 1t so emil
nontly subscrvent to the prosperity and happiness
of its inhabitants, as the South. Under It's fos
tcrng hand her sterile fields would all smile with
profitable harvcsts her useless and vast water
power would be brought into active and profitable
play, the hands of her poor population constantly
EMPLOYED, and the entire face of the country
there, physical, social and political, would undergo
an almost magical changc-would she, as Is
urged upon her by the Savannah Republican,
cease her unreasonable and childish repnings
and envyngs at the prosperity of others and 20
seriously about attending to her own interests,
developing her own vast and almost llmitess
resources and doing the great and mighty work
that lies before her cleaning in the future,
This she must and will do: the Intelligence OF
Freemcn is already beginning to work irress'ibly
toward this most desirable consummation and
we hail the expression of such true and healthy
sentiments as those We to-day copy from the
Republican, as the harbingcr OF a speedy and
most gratifying fulfmcnt by the South Of its
lofty and glorious destiny.

EOcO Party.


II the leaders and originato's Of this move
ment lack the moral courage to make it effective,
by breaking away from the calling chains OF party
by which they are fcttcred to the fortunes Of Polk
and Texas (as would really seem TO be the case
yet the movement itself must have the effect to
open the eyes of the rank and file of their party,
and to show them by what dishonest juggic-a
uggle, in the language of the Evening Post, which
"would disgrace a thimble.rigger of the most Or
dnary pretensions"-,hey are attempted to be
sold and transferred bodily to a scheme which
these leaders themselves denounce in the most
unqualified terms az fatal to the HONOR the integ-
rity and the prosperity of the country. The
honest, straight forward Farmers and Mechanics
Of New.York are not SO blind as TO be thus
caught. They will turn with scnrn and disgust
from this audacous effort 10 deceive them and
cheat them ou: Of their rights and either stay at
home or 90 10 the Polls and swell the vote for the
men and the measures upon whose success every
cherished interest of the Country so closely de-
pcnds. New-York will have a glorious history

Tariff or No Tariff.

The Ecening Post, although dsagreeng with
its coadiutor of the Plcbeian in several mortal
particulars, yet appears TOO firmly chained to the
wheel of party to break away merely because that
party advocate as a principalissue measure which
it believes fraught with drest evils to the Country.
In reply to our query as to whether it would still
continue its support Of Mr., Polk, the Texas can
ddate, it says Yes and gives, among other
reasons for its determination, the following:
curing repeal ot the present UNJUST Tariff though the Wings
declare their determination ofman'anins II as 1t Is with all It's
expressions md denominations
In word-athough the Post is 9iolently and
bitterly opposed to the Texas plot, lis hatred of
the present unjust Tariff is still stronger and
deeper, and smo,hers all lis Just opposition TO the
plan of annexing Texas and porpctuating Slave
ry. So it seems that, however the different iTac-
tions of Loco Focosm may quarrel about Texas
or about the 'Spoils' of the State Election, on
the question OF the present unjust Tariff they
are all united. The Piebeiaa says: 81 II we had
the privilege Of defining the position OF Mr.. Clay
'on the Tariff, We would give higi that which
sthe Manufacturers of the East and North are
.anxious he should assume-that is, in favor of
.the present Tariff. The opinions of Mr.. Polk
'do not require to be changed to iaeet contn-
.gencies he is opposed 10 it." The Evening
Post says: In supporting Mr. Polk we take the
'only means OF procuring repeal Of the present
unjust Tariff" Mr.. Sias Wright; who won't
stand for Governor, but is wilialg To make
speeches in behalf of his friend Col. Polk, who
goes for Texas and thinks that "Wool ought to
sbe imported frec''-also holds that" the existing
duties upon mpostations are unjust ana ought
to be reduced" Thus all take up and rcGcho
the cry Down with the present Tariff What
say you Voters of Ncw-Yorh Shall they sue

u Some of the wiseacres Of the New FORK
press, who always get upa tremendous thinking
whenever any important movement takes place
that they know nothing about, have made the
wonderful discovery ths; Mr.. Van Barren is in
favor of the Confidential Circular OF Messrs. Bry

Mr.. Van Buren, sacrificed on the altar Of Texas
ism, and is it likely that he should be indifferent
to an important step taken by his avowed and
leading friends, having for its object the Tepadia
ton of this false and unnatural issue We should
think i, something remarkably strange if Mr..
Van Buren, were not in favor of the anti Tcxss

if the grea, body OF his friends among the voters
do not declare kindred sentiments at the Polls, and
