GREAT WING GATHERING AT NEW
taa ARK.

The Wing Mass Meeting at Newark on Tues
day afternoon was indeed glorious rally Of the
Jersey Blues. Five thousand, at least, were on
the ground, and many estimated the number
much larger. At little before 5 O'Clock the
Newark delegates, headed by banner inscribed
sold Essex, Wing first, Wing last, and Wing for
ever" and led by fine band of music, formed
in front of the Clay Club Reading Room in Mar
ket street, and proceeded to Broad street, where
they were met and joined by the Orange delega-
ton, who came laundering along in some forty or
fifty wagons, decorated with various appropriate
banners. emblems, and devices. After these came
the Bellevle delegation, which was large, and
presented very animating appearance. All hands
now proceeded to the residence of DR.. Jackson 10

where the meeting was organized by the appoint
ment of the following officers:
WIN. Rankin, President Gen. James Miller,
Robert Baldwin, and VIM. Douglas, Vice Presi-
dents; DR.. J. &. Goble, D. G. Dodd, Secretaries.
The Chairman on taking his seat made a few
pertinent remarks, and introduced to the meeting
Hon. VIM. L. Dayton, U. s. Senator from New
Jersey, who came forward and was greeted with
enthusiastic and long continued cheers.
Senator Jarnagin also addressed the meeting,
and made one of his noblest efforts, and assured
the assembly that Tennessee would give her vote
for Clay by majority still larger than that by
which she defeated the election Of Polk for Gov
ernor.
Hon. Jacob w. Miller made the concluding
speech after which the proceedings were closed
with two glorious Wing songs, and after three
hearty cheers, the assembly dispersed to meet
again at Orange tomorrow afternoon.--N. Y.

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.

JAMES K. Polk AT HoME.-The Washington
(Pa) Reporter says that friend who had travel
led in company with several Tennessee Locofo-
cos, informed the editor that in conversation with
these gentlemen, they freely admitted that Polk
had no earthly chance of carrying his own State.
They represented him as unpopular at home, of
which fact two successive defeats as a candidate
for Governor is proof sufficient. These Tennes-
see Locofocos assured our friend that large num-
bers of their party were going for Clay. That
this State is soundly tariff, Governor Joness cleo
ton proves-and his election proves, moreover,
that Tennessee is fright side up" on all the
great measures commended for by their Wing
brethren of the North. The Wing party have
no two sets of prnciples-the one for Southern
use, and the other TO suit their purposes at the
North. Their creed is one and the same, denti-
cal euerywhere and its success will be universally
and gIorously triumphant, North, South, East,

THE VOICE OF AN OPPONENT.

Concerning Henry Clay, we copy the follow
ing remark of the editor Of the Stockbridge Wis.,
itor, an out-and-out Polk and Dallas paper:
Every party has the misfortune to have at
tached to It certain class of politicians who at
the commencement OF a campaign con over the
vocabulary of abuse-carefulIy select every vile
epithet, that they may apply them to the opposing
candidates. None are more lavish of abuse than
those who are apostates to the very party upon
whose nominees the filth is thrown. Our party
IS blessed with no small number of this kind of
politicians.
. Now that the Presidential campaign is com
menced, one can scarcely go amlss of the exhibi-
ton of this class Of politicians. We see in one
place paraded some naughty things said of Hem
ny Clay in the heat of passion. In another place
ne Is styled "a demagogue; in another still, "a
rake and dsbauchee." One cries out, a gambler
and horse. racer'-a second, 'rascal'-a third, a
| Sabbath breaker IA fourth, 'profane swear
era fifth, Shareholder "a sixth, 'duellist,
and SO on, until the whole vocabulary is exhaust
ed; and there epihets, in five cases out OF seven,
are applied by 2ersOns gully Of The acts Of Uhich
they accuse others. and who nave heretofore been
most lavish OF praise of the men whom they now
imagine they most numerically abuse.
"Henry Clay is gallant fellow. He is a
whole-souled, whole hearted man. A man who
never betrayed friend, or finched for foe. He
is Wing, every inch of him. He is just such
an opponent as we like. We always know ex-
actly where to find him. About him there is no
lodging. He is Wing to the backbone He
is one of these men who will never consent to
fight under false colors. One of those men whom
if we defeat there is some honor in defeating him,
and if our candidate is defeated, he is defeated by
an honorable opponent"

THE WING MASS MEETING IN MONU-
MENT SQUARE.

The Mass Meeting of the Wings OF Baltimore,
held on Thursday evening in Monument Square,
says the American, was of character which
could not fail to give every Wing still more con-
idence, if more were needed, in the triumphant
success of the great principles, for the ascendant
cy of which they are SO manfully contending, in
the approaching campaign.
The Wards came in procession, with music,
banners and transparencies, forming in the square
as they arrived until the whole Of that large
space, from Fayette street down below Lexington,
and across even to the footways and porches Of
the dwellings, opposite the stand, was filed with
one dense mass Of people, all anxious to hear the
speakers who were to address them--all anxious
to e. nce, by their presence, the spirit and enthu-
siasm which animate the Wing party Of Balt-
more.
The meeting was called to order by Judge
Harwood, who proposed the appointment of the
Hon. John p. Kennedy as President, with large
number Of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The
nominations were unanimously adopted.
A series of resolutions, on the general political
topics of the day, were offered by Nelson Poe,
Esq during the reading of which there was cor-
tinual cheering, and upon its being concluded,
they were adopted by reclamation.
The meeting was then addressed by Augustus
w. Bradford, Esq, the Wing candidate for Elec-
tor for the Third District Of Maryland; by Col.
Thomas G. Pratt, the Wing Gubernatorial candi-
date; and by Col. Hunter Of Berkeley CO., Va.

SENTEN CE OF THOMAS w. DORR.
NEWPORT. r. I. June

Chief Justice Durfee this day sentenced Thos.
w. Dorr to hard labor in the Slate prison for
life In his address to the prisoner the Chief
Justice exhibited considerable emotion. The per-
Torrance Of like duty would, he said, in any
case be extremely painful, but doubly so in the
present instance. he had in times past enjoyed
the intimate acquaintance and friendship OF the
prisoner.
Mr.. Dorr made brief and somewhat bold ad.
dress in reply, the substance Of which was that,
as lamentable as his situation might appear 10
some, he would be very sorry to exchange it for
that of the Chief Justice. When Mr. Dorr fin
ished his address, it was very generally observed
here that he had lessened his chances tor an early
pardon by the lone and spirit of his remarks.

sressive Demo-
ed a de-

- .or daring to oppose the high handed
usurpations of the Executive. The President has
now thought proper to use the treaty-making
power for the purpose of remoddling the revenue
laws of the country, and the Wings are roundly
denounced for not acquiescng in it. We could
expect nothing better from the numerical ma
jority," of the Locofocos who have pusillan-
mously trucked TO the domineering spirit of the
/" Chivalry," but we did expect to find higher
spirit among the Chivalry" themselves.
But suppose the Senate had have ratified the
treaty, would the Locofoco House of Representa-.
tives have consented to SO important reduction
of duties! Did they not refuse, during the last
session, to make less reduction! The only rea-
son for hoping that they would now consent to it
must be based on the suppositon tina: their bro.
ken spirits, since their defeat at Baltimore, would
no longer resist any demand Of the "Chivalry.'
But another difficulty environs this treaty. If
we make such important attachments Of du'y in
favor of Germany we shall be called upon by
England, France, and all other commercial coun-
tries to extend to them the same privileges under
the usual treaty stipulation as to the "most fa-
vored nation" and the consequence will be a total
change of our revenue laws. We should have to
resort to direct taxation in order to carry on the
Government. 1t il in vain to gay that the prin-
ciple of I" the most favored nation" would not be
contravened. If other nations choose to consider
it in that light, they would have it in their power
to make us suffer all the evil consequences of a
breach of those engagements. They would in
fallibly resort to countervalng duties upon Anne
rican products.
We must not be understood as dissenting from
the policy Of commercial negotiations in general,
but we do object to making firm treaty binding
the nation TO fixed rate of duties for period of
years. as in the present case. Ratify this treaty,
and in the event of war, our hands will be tied
we shall have no power to raise revenue for its
support for the next three years.
A commercial convention of the several COM
nercia States of the world, for the purpose Of
comparing notes." as it were, in reference to
matters Of trade and commerce, might be of SER
vice, but to make binding treaties upon The SUBJ
ject is utterly preposterous, and inconsistent with
national independence. And particularly absurd
would it be for any two nations 10 enter into such
treaties in conravention of existing treaties with
other powers.
We object also to such treaties upon the ground
above adverted 10, that their negotiation amounts
to little less than the transfer of all Legislative
power to the Executive.

to bring to light the damning truth that James K
VOLUTION. James X. Folks great uncle was
patriot sgner of the Mecklenburg declaration,
but his grandfather was tory. We call upon
the editors of North Carolina to produce the in
controvertible evidence they have at hand upon
| the subject, since the effort is made to impose
upon the public in distant quarter of the Union.
The Fayetteville Observer has already spoken
out. Let the proof which is easy to obtain be
produced 1t would disgrace this nation to elect
the descendant of tory to the Presidency. II
should and will be an insuperable objection with
the patriotic descendants of the Wings of the
Revolution.
We know that Mr.. Folks relations in North
Carolina and Tennessee are descended from Wing
ancestry, and are Wings now, and we can well
appreciate the embarrassment which Wing poll
ticians may feel in doing anything which might
wound them but The truth must come neverthe-
less. 1t will never do to permit James X. Polk
TO trade for The Presidency upon capital borrowed
from qis third cousins. Let him inherit all the
fame of his tory ancestor but let the fame Of Col.
William Polk and his Wing brother, who signed
the Mecklenburg declaration, and their Wing
descendants, descend to their children.
