BY ENll-fIVk THOUSAND WINGS.
The Furl Wayne Times brings US glowing
account of the great Wing rally at Tippecanoe
on The 29th ultimo, and from the number present,
and the enthusiasm manifested on the occasion,
we are inclined to believe the l1on.iers will be as
ready to PIT down traitors within. as they were
few years since To repel invaders from without.
The Convention was called to order by the Hon.
Henry S. Lane, late member of Congress from
Montgomery county. Richard w. Thompson
was appointed President, with General q. X.
Steel and twenty three others as Vice Presidents,
and W. G. Ewing, # Allen county, and eli hit
others as Secretaries. A series of resolutions
expressive of the desires and principles of the
Convention was passed, and letters read from
several dis ingushed Wings who had been in
vted to participate in the proceedings among
the number, Henry Clay, Hon. Daniel Webster,
Hon. Thomas Ewing, Hon. Francis Granger, and
H'n. John NJ Clayton. The editor of the Times

On the morning of the Doth the weather was
showery and part of the time the rain poured

THE MASS MEETING IN GEORGETOWN

THE MASS MEETING IN GEORGETOWN
The meeting of the Wings al Georgetown. o,
Tuesday evening. was decidedly The larges' gath

District slice he opening of the campaign. There
could not have been present fewer than, perhap
f"ur or five thousand patriotic and Joyous Whie
hearts. Washington and Alexandra were each
we'll representative former sending from eight
hundred TO one Thousand, which, considering the
distance Of the walk was very respectable turn
out.
The display of banners and symbols reflected
great credit upon the Wings of Georgetown.
The meeting was addressed successfully by
Messrs. CAUsIN, of Maryland. ScHENcK, OF OHIO,
CRITTENDEN, of Ky, SENTER and PEYToN, Of
Tennessee. Great enthusiasm prevailed. We
regret that our position was unfavorable to make
mites, which would have enabled us to detail with
minuleness the interesting proceedings.
The speakers entertained the meeting with a
number of anecdotes Illustrative of the ridiculous
farce of presenting the name Of James X. Polk
to the people of the nation as candidate for the
first office in their gift. "What," SAID MIR. CRIT
TENDEN, "are the pretensons of James X. Pc k
to the office of President! What do his friends
claim for him? They allege for him that he is a
thorough Jackson man--that he never differed,
then. eow-citzens, if Mr. Polk should be elect
ed, suppose we are to have the reign of jack
sonsm again. But suppose Gen. Jackson, who
is old and inirm, should happen to die-what will
then become OF Mr.. Polk where will he lean for
support"
Mr. C. paid deserved tribute to the Wings of
the District. "1'rue," said be, "you have no
franchse--you have not The privilege of helping
US with your votes but you may nevertheless
exert an important and saIutary influence upon
the public opinion of the country. You are here
at the seat Of Government, and are eye-wnesses

opportunities of watching them than the peop e

d'tes by Mr.. c.. and other gentlemen, were re-
ceved with great enthusiasm by the meeting, and

The meeting then broke up al late hour, amid
