WING COUNTY MEETING

OnTuesday morn ng of Court week, we OBJ
served handbills up at various public places in
Danvillc, calling a Wing county meeting at the
Court House, for the same day. When the time
ame we attended, from curiosity, and it was one
Of the most queer and amusing scenes we ever
witnessed. Cattawissa and Danville had the hon
or of furnishing nearly all the officers Of the meet
ing, the speakers and the members of the committee
on resolutions. Col Paxton was chosen President
by an enthusiastic and triumphant vote of land
presided with that grace and dignity of manner for
which he is so remarkable Mr.. Bancroft was
called on for speech, as a matter of course he
is always the dependence Of his party in that line
after some hesitation inside the bar; locked round
at the empty seats where Wings ought to have
been and wee not and finding he had scarce any
of his own political faith an audience, made
queer and random speech to the large number of
Democrats who stood outside the railing, looking
pleasantly upon the proceedings within. Having
rcpcctable audience of Democrats to keep him in
countenance, he made petty good speech on the
whole, ana wound up by proposing resolution in
favor Of the American title to the whole of Oregon.
George A. Frick, Esq. in order, we suppose, to
throw the matter into iidcue, proposed an amend
ment, 10 the effect, that the whole of North Amer.
ca belonged 10 US, north of the Mexican line. The
President here arose in great hurry, apparently,
to give information that THAT matter had been all
arranged and that the committc would report u
Al.
threw the propositions, as the printers say into ri,
and in few moments in came the committee with
the result ofther profound abors, in the shape of
preamble filled with wHEnEAsEs and a string of
resolutions denou "cng every body and every thing
except the tariff of 1912; which in the beautiful
language of the committee, makes" the comforts
and fresde enjoyments ever cluster around the
hearths and homes Of the honest children of toll"
The resolutions were separately adopted, by pow
erful vote of six or eight in their favor, including
some of the members of the committee reporting
them. The meeting then adjourned.
The resolutions have since been published, and
are distinguished for venom and bombast qualities
tn at will not recommend them to the good sense
of the people upon whose minds they were intend
ed to produce effect. This mode of treating public
questions and public men, is alike imperative and
improper. Opposing sentimentin this flee repub-
llc is not, and ought hot, to be beaten down by
sweeping denunciation; and when honest public
servants are venomousy ass allied, they usually suf-
fer no injury. The motives for such unreasonable
bitterness -petuant temper and thwarted ambition,
arc understood and the outbIeakings they prompt
are dsre garded.
