WING MEETING AT PHILADELPHIA.

| An immense mass meeting was held at the Chr
nese Museum, in Philadelphia, on Saturday even
ing last, for the purpose Of ratyng the nomination
of WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON as the Wing and Taylor
candidate for Governor Of Pennsylvania.
! We are assured that the meeting was much the
largest that has been held in Philadelphia, by any
political party since the commencement OF the pre-
sent campaign. The speaking, too, is represented
| to have been excellent.
| Col. JOHN SWIFT, who was supported by num-
Der of Vice Presidents, presided over the meeting
the object of which he briefly announced on assu-
ming the chair.
Mr. JOSEPH r. CHANDLER then came forward and
gave most cheering account of the unanmity and
enthusiasm which, during the last week, had cha
racterized the proceedings of the State Convention
at Harrisburg, on the occasion of the nomination of
Mr.. JOHNSTON.
Governor JOHNSTON being present. he next deli,
vered a very handsome address, in which he de-
nounced the centraizing influence Of the Govern
ment as at present administered, and eoquently
defended the policy of the Wing party, and the in
egrity and qualifications of their candidate for the
Presidency.
Ex-Governor PENNINGTON of New Jersey, fol-
lowed, and in mastery. manner contrasted the
merits of the several Presidential candidates, much
to the credit of Gen. TAYLOR, and pledged his own
State to be sound true, and faithful on all the great
questions Of the day.
u. COLLINS LEE, of Maryland made brief but
truly brilliant speech. The Inquirer states that
some of his remarks thrilled and electrified the al-
dience in extraordinary degree, and the applause
at times was dealening. When he concluded, three
cheers were given with the heartiest enthusiasm.
The Hon. WILLIAM CosT JOHNSON and other
gentlemen also made addresses, and the meeting
adjourned at late hour highly delighted and graft
ied. During the evening, the following, among
other resolutions, were adopted by acclamation:
Resoiced That the Wing Young Men of Philadelphia take
this their cordial concurrence in the nomi-
nation of ZACHARY TAYLOR and WILLARD FILL
MORE, President and Vice President of the United States,
under whose broad banners they feel confident they march
ing 10 assured victory.
Resotced, That the daily increasing proofs of the honesty
and capacity, the purity of character and the integrity of pur
pose of General TAYLOR Strengthening and more the
bands Of attachment already existing between him and the
great of his countymen and that all the signs OF the
times indicate that he will be chosen the first office in the
gift Of the people by an overwhelming majority.

The Democratic party need not lay the hatter-
ing JUNCTION to their souls that, because they made
some gains at the recent election, the State is less
Whiggish than heretofore. Such is not the case !;
and though the Wings, by apathy and the humbug
of unrestricted suffrage, have permitted their ma
jority to be reduced, yet in November they will be
found right side up. Then to work, gallant Wings
and show to the world that, though you were once
deceived and msled, you are now fully aroused,
and determined to wipe out the foul nsinuaon that
you are less true and reliable than formerly. Every

The Danvle PA Democrat says that the pros
perty Of which the Locofoco papers in that quarter
have SO frequently and so falsely boosted Of late,
has at last resulted in the stoppage of the Montour
Iron Works. Three Of their large anthracite fur
naces, together with the large rolling mill, are now
standing idle-victims of the Locofoco Tariff Of
ls46--and something like five hundred hands have
thus been unceremoniousy thrown out Of employ
ment. The ruillous effects of the tariff Of 1916 are
daily developing themselves in the stopping of
manufactures, in the immense importations Of TO
reign goods in the expectation OF specie, in the low
price Of produce, and in the impoverished condition
of those who have been thrown out of employment.

YucATAN-Last spring several Locofoco Us.
Senators were ardenty in favor Of sending por-
ton Of our army into Yucatsn TO assist the whites
of that Mexican province, who il was alleged were
in danger of extermination. The President sent a
message TO Congress on the subject and at one
period it seemed altogether probable that an army
would be ordered 10 Yucatan. The ostensble OBJ
ect was to protect the Yucatecos, but the real OBJ
ect was TO annex that country to the United States.
The news of the treaty between the whites and
Indians reached our seat Of government just IN
time to cause postponement of the consideration
of the bill in the Senate, through which body the
Locofocos would doubtless have passed it.
This scheme TO bring more foreign territory and
discord into our Union thus happily frustrated
The latest accounts from Yucatan state that the
Whites have gained several victories over the In
dians, and are in turn butchering the savages.
They have secured several OF their lost towns, and
expect TO be able to drive the enemy from all the
ground taken from the whites. Thus, without our
assistance, the whites have proved themselves fully
able to reconquer all they have lost.
Had Mr.. Folks wishes and the wishes Of the
Locofoco Senator's been followed, our army Douid
now be IN Tucatan, and that miserable province
mould be in process Of annexation 10 The Onuec
States.
