bout ii o'clock, and marched, accompa.
MED with music, TO Mr.. Caldcleugh's beau.
tllul grove east of the Cont House, where
stand and seats had been prepared for
the occasion. And the patriotic Wing
brethren there assembled were honored
with the presence and smiles Of some of
the farest ladies' of the village. 1t forci-
bly, reminded us of 1910, to see the old
man, whose locks were silyered over with
many frosts. marching along with the
young and bouyani, the matron and the
fair maiden,-to hear the true principles
Of the best aud freest government on earth
fairly and candidly discussed.
On arriving at the stand, Col. j. NJ.
Leach, after short but impressive speech,
introduced to the assembly Gen. Alfred
Dockery, of Richmond County. We shall
not attempt 10 give even an outline Of Gen.
Dockery's speech. 1t was calm, fair and
practical, entirely free from any hing
like concealmeni OF misrepresentation in
short, il was Just what would have been
expected, from the countenance Of The man,
for finer looking gentleman we have not
seen lately. Although the General was
very respectful in his remarks towards the
Pukites, from certain indications of some
Of their fac s, we are incined to believe
that he did not talk TO their entire satislac-
ton. But If his remarks were disagrcea-
bic TO them, it was because the truth,
plainly told, did not suit their lastidious
pnlates. He exposed the disingenuousness

pose his friends, if he had any, had pres
sed his claims to the nomination before the
! delegates To the Baltimore Convention
were selected, would the people have sent
r single delegate to the Convention with

: not. And the leaders of the party are

Democrats, 10 a bountiful table that was

After an hours respite, the people again
assembled around the stand and were ably,
eloqueEt4y, and interestingly addressed by
Ralph Corral, Esq. of GuIturd. Mr..

that he did honor to the Wing cause in

was introduced to the company but ow.

Owing to the death Of Mr.. Brummel,
, there is a vacancy in the Legislature to fill

, announced himself candidate to I'll said
vacancy. He is worthy, intelligent man,
r and good Wing. He has no opposition
\ that we know of as yet.
r From what we can see and hear we think
: that Davidson viii be herself again on the
p first Monday in November. The noble
Wings appear as though they intend to do
their whole duty. Let the Wings else
