After the Association was organized and some
very appropriate and spirited remarks from Mr. Clark
and other genilemen, Mr. Briggs announced to the
meeting that the President. Hon. A. G. Dana, had
been solicited to prepare Address Cor the occa-
sion and would now be heard. 1berenpon the as
sembly listened with attention for more than an
hour 10 the Address from the President, which was
able ond well adapted 20 the day-the occasion
and the present condition OF political affairs. twas
made up of facts in the history of our
government and of the two political parties, from
short time previous to the election Of John Quincy
Adams to the present time. At the election 10 1924,
here were, he said four candidates voted for by
he electors Of the different States, FOR the Presden
" MIR Adams Gen. jackson, Mr. Crawford and
Mr. Clay. There was no choice by the electors, but
Nr Adams was elected by the House of kepresen-
aiives; Mr. Clay and his friends voting for Mr. Ad-
ms. Then came out the charge ofbargdin between
sr. Adams and sir Clay. T.is infamous charge
vas shown to be false by incontroverbe evidence.
ms, every possible means were employed to raise
IN opposition party, wi,hou, knowing, or earring to
.now, wha, were or would be the policy or meas
ares Of the Administration. Thus sprung up a par
y from .',he odds and ends" of the land without any
principles or policy, but the ayoYed object OF
putting down the Administration of John Quincy
Adams. Gen Jackson was al the head OF ths party |
This party. without cause, commenced mmedi-
'tey the most fsrocious and bitter attacks upon Mr.
ADAMS and his Administration. Mr. Adams was
harged with bargaining with SIR. Clay; and his Adj
ninistration was charged with wanton and profit
ate use of the public money-with exiravigance
corruption, and numerous other abuses and evils,
IL Of which they promised to correct and remedy,
the people would give them the power. Doct
Jana then compared the expenditures Of the gov
rnment, under the administration Of mr. Adams,
With those of Gen Jackson's Administration, and Mr.
IAN Buren's. He showed that under the ietrench-
nent and reform which had been promised. the ex-
,endi,ufes Of Gen. Jackson's Administration ex-
.eeded those of Mr. Adams about hniy.fre millions
n four years. And that during Mr. Van Bu,en's
our years administration, they were nearly three
Zines as much as they were during MI Adams ad-
And instead OF selecting, as they
promised nen "whose diligence and talents would
ensure able and faithful co-ope ration" such men as
Swartwout and Price, and host of others, whose
honesty and fidelity" were made manifest, by run.
ming away with large sums OF the peoples money,
were selected TO cooperate with the Administration.
In conclusion Docl Dana made statement of the
several measures Of the Wing party, and comment
ed upon them a, some length. He very foIcibly
urged the necessity and duty Of freemen to contend
manlully for those measures. "Le,u US pledge our
selves The sadl never to furl our banner until the
country shall be brought back 10 the enjoyment OF
those hacyon days which marked the pure, patriot
&c. and ep'inenrly successful Admins iration Of
John Quincy Adams"
The meeting was fully attended from each of the
four towns before mentioned. Good order and har.
mony prevailed throughout the whole Of the pro-
ceedings; and the wings Of this State may be assn
red that the wings of Brandon, Salisbury Leicester
and Goshen, ia the coming campaign will do their
duty. They are now united in a Wing Club-ihy
have Constitution which is no, to be construed as
the President, understands IL, but according 10 its
plain meaning and import. We have room for the
two last articles only
ANY Vice President who shall at any time off.
