already taken place-and the numbers OF the patri-

n-gnherng Of the authorized representatives Of our
Wing brethren throughout the States-the full value
Of our political organization, and the deep.rooted
spirit of patriotism which binds our party together,
throughout the very length and breadth Of land.
Delegates from every State in the Union already
here, upon the spot. The most heart stirring enthu-
siusrn IN the Wing prevails every side -

about two thirds Of the House, and they stand Wing
