WHITE HALL. WAsuIS0ToS Co. June g. 1874.
Mr. GREELEY At the suggestion OF several OF
our Wing friends will attempt to give you a
brief account OF most enthusiastic and splendid
Wing gathering that came off this afternoon III
our village.
Since tho result Of the Loco-Foco Convention
at Baltimore became known here, and especially
since it has become apparent that that party go
strongly for the immediate Annexation Of Texas,
many OF the strongest and most influential OF It's
members in this region arc staggered III their Po
t.ca faith and not lew have openly declared
thew will vote for Henry CLAY rather than con-
sent to the Annexation.
In this state fittings we thought II favorable
time to get up Il meeting and make strong ei-
tort against Annexation and III favor OF Pro
tectivc Tariff, to which the great mass OF the Dc
mocracy' here are friendly. Accordingly arrange
incnts were made to secure for the occasion the
services of J. w. Fowler, Esq of Otsego Co
that splendid and irresistible Wing orator, who
complied and was present Mr.. f. spoke for
nearly four hours with great power and effect
He showed up the Texas question III manner
that induced several OF the Loco Focos at the

ton of any suhlcct-onc 50 clear, eloquent So

HENRY CLAY and the Wing Cause. wish his
magical voice could be heard all over the land

against Texas.
4 large number of Ladies were present whose

fully to defend the interests of his country and ~
stand firmly by his country's Champion.
Mr. Fowler on his way here addressed great
masses at Gcns Falls, at Sandy Hill, and at Fort
Ann. Our prospects in this section are beginning
10 be absolutely glorious 4 tide is rising that

The People, with hardly an exception, oppos-
ed to Texas and i'll favor of Protection 10 Amen
can Industry. Yours, etc A. ).
II Beside the usual Conventions, we hope TO
see this year in our State great Western gath
erng at Rochester, aud al Eastern one at some
convenient pont-Troy we consider preferable,
but Albany, Poughkccpsie or Hudson may be
thought more advantageous. The People want
to have the great issues of Annexation and Pro-
lection more thoroughly discussed than they can
be in evening meetings. Let us have days set
apart after the summer harvest, select the best
speakers, and give them time
The State Agricultural Fair takes place, we
believe, at roughkccpsie So the Eastern Con-
vention should be held at another place.

City thus announces the progress of the coali-
ton between Polk and Tyler
