THE PEOPLE AROUSED.

THE PEOPLE AROUSED.
From Maine to Georgia, from the Atlantic to the
valley Of the Mississippi, the Wing fires are kin
died. and the people are ralyng in their might to
vindcate the glorious Wing cause. They have
but one cause the leading point is Protection
boldly avowed in the North as the South-Protec-
ton, the only guaranty for NaiionaL independence.
We have no room for a proper notice of the mass
Conventions which have already been holden,--a
few, of recent date, we shall barely mention.
FOURTH OF JULY.
A mass Wing Convention was holden at the old
battle ground, at Concord Mass; and on the spot
baptized with the blood of the Wings Of rs, the
Wings of IA pledged themselves to sustain the
liberty the prosperity, and the glory of their coun-
try. TWELVE THOUSAND were present
Senator Berrien of Geo. pledged the Wings of the
entire South to the cause of Protection, and Dan
lei Webster spoke as Webster only can speak, for
the North 1t was a glorious gatherings happy
omen for the success of that cause which is one
among all the Wings Of the land-for which the
union of the Wing party is perfect.
At Eayerhill, N. H., in the very hot bed of con-
fessedly Free Trade iocojocoiSm there larger
gathering than could have been expected IN such
a region In spite of the opposition of locooco-
ism, exhibited in getting up celebrations in the
vicinity there was a very large gathering of peo-
pie at Haverh of whom, at least 1900 were
Wings, and noble Wings as ever breathed-
The patriotism of Wings, who have fifteen times
passed the fiery furnace of ew-Hampshlre loco
focoism, is not to be doubted. Mr. Bellows of Lit
Teton delivered an able Grafton, demonstrating the
the origin of the ocofoco party in the scheme of A.
aron Burr to demosh the old Democratic leaders
by a union of the disaffected Democrats and
Office hunting federallsts upon Gen Jackson-and
showing, by history of ocofocoisn, that its aims
and tendencies have constantly been to elevate the
Executive above the popular will. The Convention
was also addressed by Senator Upham of Vermont,
Mr.. Marston of N. H. and ourself
On the succeeding day, the Orange County Clay
Club met at Bradford, and we had the pleasure of
looking on long enough to say that it was glori-
Gus gathering; and there were glorious speeches
from Senator Phelps, and Messrs Collamer and
Marsh of the House. Senator Upham introduced
his colleagues in u few handsome remarks, excus-
ing himself on account Of his i'll health and the la
bors of the preceding day. 1000 present.
Old Windsor had her County Convention on the
4th at Woodstock, and it seems that there are a
few Wings to be found, even under the shadow Of
the Spirit of the Age. There were only FIVE
THOUSAND Wings, or thereabouts, together or
that occasion! Messrs. Phelps, Marsh and Cola
mer addressed them. We guess that old Windsor
will speak loud enough to be heard.
In Plattsburgh N. Y. there was gathering or
the 4th, and ]. J. Beardsley, Esq of st. Alban:
(recenty locofoco and j. w. Fowler of Otsegc
Co, addressed the people, particularly the Tariff
and annexation. Mr.. Fowler is a strong aboitionist
and has been driven to take the stump and support
the Wing cause in order to defeat annexation.
On the 18th of June, EIGHT THOUSAND
Wings met in Council at Peoria, Illinois, Protec
ton Protection. the rallying cry; the PEG
pie of Illinois live too near Tennessee to be hum
bugged with Polk.
