The great Wing County Of ALLEGHENY pnclud-
ing Pittsburgh,) which gave Wing majority OF
2,3i0 ia "A. which would have been nearer 1000
bat for the panic among Adopted Citizens caused by
Pniladelphia Mathematical her Convention last
week to choose Delegate to the Wing National
Convention. Much interest was naturally excited,
for Pittsburgh exerts strong influence all w est
ern Pennsylvania and here have been held three
great Wing Meetings to nominate candidates for
President: the first for Judge Mel can the second
for Mr. Clay the third for Gen Scott. The last was
called by the largest number Of signatures
When the Delegates from the several towns as
sembed, there were presented the names OF two
prominent candidates for the Philadelphia Conven-
tion--Hon Cornelius Darragh, formerly State Sen
stor also Member of the last Congress-and MIR.
T. Il. Dale, who has hitherto remained In private
life. Mr.. Daragh 10 widely connected universally
known and generally popular; Mr.. Dsies name i,
new TO US. We are confident however, that ON
personal grounds Mr.. Darragh would have secured
two.thirds Of the votes.
Bat the Township and Ward Delegates insisted
frat on a frank expression Of views by the csndi-
dates preliminary to the choice, and were frankly
responded to. Mr.. Daraeh stated that he should
vote for MIR Clay frat as the decided choice Of the
Wings of Allegheny If Mr.. Clay could not be nomi
mated. mex. Judge Mclean; next Gen. Scott. Per.
