sIBLE SPEECH.
The Wing Convention reassembled yesterday
morning. bu, transacted lillIe business, having
adjourned al an early hour, oslensioly 10 aiio"
time 10 The committee on the Address, bu. really
as we heard from the 'knowing ones" 10 await
the news by telegraph of the action OF the Ken
lucky Wing Convention, which (m'rabl!s dteta!)
the Taylori,cs confidently expected would spuEn
Henry Clay and nominate Old FAC! There was,
however, one little speech made by a delegate
from Alexandria, (Mr. Mckenzie, We heafc,)
which was the most sensible and accurate we

proposition was made 10 extend The party ma
chinery," which The Republican onee so bitterly
denounced, by appointing an Elec'or ana sno'Eiec'

During The discussion, Mr.. Mckenzie addressed
The Chair. and said that ii made no difference
how many Electors they should appoint, and that
il would REQUIRE more Electors than any they
should select TO carry Virginia, whoeuer should be
the Whis candidate! This virtual admission OF
the invincibilily Of the Democracy OF Virginia
seemed 10 Grille" the Wing. not a liltle. We
carry out Mr.. McK.'s axiom, and declare most
confidently that The humbugging proceedings OF
the Wing Convention, now in session, are in
every way calculated 10 arouse the Democratic
party in the Stale, and ensure US a glorious vic
tory. We have never seen the signs brighter;
and we say boldly 10 the Democrats, everywhere,
Island 10 your arms! AIS well"
One more anecdo,e and we are done. MIR.
