At Yorktown, Chippewa, Buena Vista
and Churnbusco, Wings fought bravely.

denominations (Cheers.) He had been

(Cheers) He had been charged with
being influenced in his present conduct,
by the action of the Baltimore conven-
tionin lS44. He appealed to democrats
and wings TO say if there was any man
in the State who labored harder than
himself to secure the election Of that con.
vention. Whatever good qualities lie
may have, he had the qualities of frank
ness. When he was for man he was
for him with all his heart. When he was
against man, he was against him, Just
as sincerely. He went into tina: cam.

of this contest. Even though the gov.
ernment should fall into the hands of
wings they could do but little harm so
long as they were kept in the straight
Jacket of the new constitution. (Cheers.)
