THE aLITTLE cLIaUEn MEErING.

The "LiTTLE CLIQUE MEEIlNC.
We give below the opinions of the two Wing
presses OF the city as tothe proceedings of ga
thering which, in these otherwise dull times,
seems 10 have produced quite stir amongst the
metropolitan Wings. The Wing has discovered
that It's attempt to defeat an asSemblage oil the CT
1izens of Richmond has utterly failed-and il is
nov satisfied We hope, that the surest means OF
drawing a crowd together is for political jour
nal, acting as a Dictator rather than an organ OF
a party, 10 issue its edict against any meeting,
whatever may be its character. We recommend
10 altbeatrical managers and lecturers, hereafter
io,obsain from the organ solemn injunction 10
the Wings not to attend the exhibition or lecture,
and, our word for ii, they will never fail to get
crowded house. The meeting on Wednesday
night speaks eloquently in favor of our position.
The Compiler thus notices the meeting 1.-THE
public meeting called for Wednesday night took
place according to appointment. II was called
ayowedly by the feiends of Mr. Lyons and the
other candidates were invited TO attend they,
however, declined, as announced IN the wing,
upon the ground that it gotten up Tor The dis
cussion Of the Texas question: which It's orlgina-
tors denied. The Wing prescribed it, TOO, On
the same grounds. The meeting, however, was
4 crowded and respectable one. Mr.. Lyons adj
dressed it for some two hours, in very able
fence from the attacks OF the Richmond Wing,
and vindicalion Of himself from the charge of
having introduced the annexation question into
the canvass"
In spite of the outrageous violation OF its or
ders by the faithful, the Wing speaks quite like
philosopher on the occasion, but evidently nurses
its wrath for another day. says:
"There was, we hear, quite crowd at The Odd
Fellows Hall, Wednesday night TO hear MIR.

number of lyaigs The friends of Lyons are not

Whig,l from curiosity, and the Sweat House IN
full force The latter were very much delighted
with the course and DRIFT of az argument which,
not bearing upon them, bore only upon the Wings.
Their satisfaction was entirely natural. Had il
borne still harder upon Wings, that audience, or
the mass Of them, would have clapped still more
loudly.

the Storm which the Texas Wings will bring
down upon their own heads:
