out went far beyond that calculation. The day
was ushered in by Ii guns fired on the is 'and
At about 10 O'Clock in the Dorning splendid
banner, prepared exclusively by the Wings ladies
OF Reading, and al their own expense, was pre-
scented in their behalf by Charles Evans, ESQ to
the Wings of Reading, and in their name was
received ny d, s Gordor, Esq The banner is
a most beautiful affair, having on one side paint

The inscription is excellent:
WIG PRIN CIPLES:
LIKE THE ORE IN OUR MOUNTAINS,
THOUGH LONG EMBODIED IN CLAY, Notv BEGIN
MING TO BE APPREcIATED.
After the presentation was over procession
formed, (Ailh the splendid banner and our
excellent band a. the head,) and marched to the
island, where the day was celebrated. Here by
IL O'clock not less than l500 to 1000 Wings
were assembled, who were addressed by Col.
Lindsey, of Berks, and j. p. Sanderson, Of Leb-
anon, in the German language, after which, at
least 200 of the number sat down to good SUBJ
stantal dinner After it was over, the Declara-
ton was read by Mr. J. V. Lambert; the multi
tude was then again addressed by Charles Glib
bonS, Esq, of Philadelphia, and the Hon. James
Copper, of Adams, who entered into an able ex-
posi- ion of Wing principles, and were frequently
applauded whilst speaking
After they had finished procession was form
ed, again preceded by the banner and Reading
band. The delegation from Bird borough had an
excellent band with them, which was placed in
the centre of the procession. The procession
was without exception the largest one ever got
up in Reading on similar occasion by any party
and all who did count, assert that the Wings had
from 20 to so MORE VOTERS in their process
sion, than the Locos, and this too in their strong
hold. Of this the Wings have great reason to be
proud, considering that their opponents had been
hard at work for several weeks in sending crcu-
lars throughout the country, inviting and urging
their friends to come in, in order to get big pro-
cession SO as to brag about it. Whether they
will Drag we know not, nor do we care.
Messrs. Dallas, Page, Rash, aud Vanr, who were
present, know hat we DID out number their pro.
cession, aud that is enough "glory for one day."
We heard it5renarked that Mr.. Dallas should
have said that ." he had no ilea there were half
as many Wings in Berks county as he saw OH
that day.
The Polk procession which was intended to be-
a tremendous denaonstrati.n was preceded by their
rich and arislocraic Ieaders--DALLAs, MULLEN
BERG. PAGE, RUSH, VAUx, and others, in CAR
RACES, while the working men, who are ex.
peeled To turn The grindsone and hurrah for these
nabnbs, were on foot. Every man of the Wings.
including speakers and invited guests, marched
into town in true Democratic style. This con-
vnced some of the Locofpcos that the love Of
their leaders for the ''dear people, is all CANNON,
and as the two PROFESSIONS passed each other,
several of the more honest of the Locofocos " h
their badges on their hats STEPPED OUT OF THEIR
RANKS INTO OURS, remarkiny that they had sup
ported that parry long enough.
In the evening Messrs GIBBONS and COOPER
addressed a large crowd in front of Col. kendalPs
Wing Headquarters. They were listened To by
many LncofocoS, sJme of whom concluded that
Wing principles we're best after all to promote
The interests Of our country.-CLay Bugle
ERIE County The " hgs of Wattsburg and
The adjoining townships of Erie county had glo-
rous Wing mass meeting, attended by process
son, band Of music, and all that s"rl OF thug.
Capt. E. s. MesSer presided, and John II. Wal
ker, E b lhbilt--the droll and amusing Rabbit
James d. Dunlap, and L. Robinson, Esqrs, spoke.
Several hundred Of the yeoInanry Of that rugged
county were in attendance.
INDIANA COUNTY We are glad to perceive
by a late number of the Indiana Register that
the lIon-hearied Wings of Inciana county are eff.
tectually awakened 10 the Importance of the Com
ing out as with one voice that the WING IA
RIFF SHALL BE SUSTAINED, and are nobly
coming up to the work, and Ua,ter,ng down the
Qualifications behind which The Locofoco free
traders have entrenched themselves. Large and
enthusiastic meetings of The peuple have been
held in the borough of Indiana within The last few
weeks, at which resolutions aud measures were
adopted 10 carry on the campaign in the most
spirited manner. To prove that our Indiana
friends are in the right way, We need only add
that at e.ch meeting the " IG LADIES Of the
town turned out in large numbers, and cheered
on their fathers bro hers, and hus Jand~, by The
waving Of handkerchet>, and occasionally join
ing with the young men in good Wing song.
