IMMENSE WIG DEMONSTRATIONS.
Enth usiasiie Approval OF the National and
fnl. All

The Wings Of the city and county of Philadel-
phia met in meeting last evening, in the Chi
nese Museum, for the purpose of testfying their
appreciation OF the policy and acts Of the National
and State Executives, and by that appreciation 10
strengthen them in their course regards the fu
ture Ii a meeting, the purpose OF which APP
pealed TO every Wing sympathy, and the response
enthusiastic as the most sanguine could
have anticipated.
The assernbagc filled the vast saloon and il the
spectacle OF SO large class of the community was
in itself pleasant, il was more in the evidences
of featy to Wing principles, aud thorough adher-
ence to the great Wing leaders, which was ire
quently aud unrestnincdly given. The meeting
was glorious one for the Wings ui Philadelphia
proud evidence of her feeling, and II manifesto
ton most honorable TO those in whose honor and
support il convened. II was Notwithstanding
and convincing testimony that the Wings OF Phla
delphia arc man in their political faith, and
that they have untalcring reliance ON the abl-
ity and purity of President Taylor and Governor
Johnston
The hall was handsomely decorated with flags,
and band was placed on the upper platform. IL
played frequently during the evening, and re-
ceiyed several additions from the bands OF the del
egations from the various districts, which came IN
after the meeting was organized.
JOHN M. COLEMAN. ESQ.,, called the meeting To
order, and nominated the following gentlemen as
officers:

alleges in respect to Gen. TAYLOR, whatever
errors of Judgment il may have fallen into here
tofore--of which, however, we know no
thing--it never made greater mistake than IN
this particular instance. To little purpose has
it observed the qualities of men, if it has not
learned that the stamp of uniformity In leading
characteristics, whereby individual identity Is
distinguished and preserved, invariably marks
those who possess distinctive and commanding
traits. Differences of position and of circum-
stances may modify the exhibition of these
characteristic qualities but no novelty of posi-
lion. no combination of circumstances, can long
avail 10 thwart the steady action which goes
forward 10 its purposes under the guidance OF
honest intentions, strengthened by unyielding
determination and by the convictions of a clear
understanding and a solid Judgment
If Gen. TAYLOR is not sufficiently known u
his political opponents to be duly appreciated
by them, he will hardly go out of his way t.
afford them special enlightenment-since there
will be, in all probability, occasions enough fol
that in the line of his duty. He has not shown
himself to be man who is likely to give mis-
taken exhibitions Of courage in displays of pre-
clpltate rashness, nor to confound energy OF
purpose with the infatuation of self-will. But
his adversaries may take note of him and of his
course, and make the best OF it, or the worst, as
they may see fit.

In answer to several inquiries relating to the
omission, in the act Of 23d May, to provide
compensation to marshals and their assistants
for the ertra copies Of their returns which the
law requires them to make, we are able To state
that the census bill, as amended in the House
of Representatives, contained clause, almost
unanimously adopted, providing compensation
for each page Of those returned. This provis-
ion was stricken out III the Senate, we presume
accidentally, because attached TO plan for pay
ing the marshals, for which was substituted a
different mode.
The omission has not failed to receive the
notice Of the proper department; and as allow
ance has uniformly heretofore been granted for
the performance of the duty, and as this part
of the compensation is richly deserved. we can
not for moment doubt that provision will
early be made by Congress to supply the defect.

Whatever political differences may divide the
American people, there is one point on which they
all agree and that IT, ardent desire to sec their
Chief Magistrate act the head of nation Of free
men should act-upon his own convictions firmly,
decidedly, resolutely. Popular admiration s ac-
corded, in an eminent degree, TO a President OF
such a stamp. II this, much any other
Of his numerous high and glorious qualities, which
made General jackson 30 emphatically the favor
tie Of the nation over whose destinies he presided
with marked benefit and honor. Alas how strik-
ing and humiliating is the contrast between odd
Hickory with his stern integrity Of purpose, and
his iron will TO carry his resolutions into effect and
General Taylor, WITH we doubt not, perfect inhcr-
ent honesty, but an utter want Of that energy of
character which was once claimed for hm--yicd-

On "Wednesday last, a most exciting scene
occurred in the Hall of the House of Repre-,
sentatiyes, at jackson. The House having
before 1t resolutions Of censure against Senator
Fooie, a friend moved that he be permitted to
appear before that body and defend himself,
but ii was 7oted down, and Of Barton's instan ce
the Legislature adjourned until 10 O'Clock
next day, merely giving Gen. Foote the priv.
lege Of the use Of the Hall that evening. This
privilege Of the Hall was used by Davis a, d
Others without asking the consent Of the mem
beFsS! that body, and been granted on va
rious occasions N every ~itinerant or public
lecturer that has asked il, no matter what The
subject, from eIcctro-magnelism down to The
profoundly mystical science of horse tanning
The desPicable meanness which would
prompt the proier'ing chrrges-known to be
ialse-was only equalled by the shameless dis
regard OF justice, in refusing to permit him the
privilege of defeuse. Gen'I Foote W 10 be
Orraigned, but not allowed to confront his ac-
cusers, or to be heard even by a pack ed Jury.
His accusers arraigned him, and after discharp-
ing the judges, very gravely told him he might
speak to the public! But although General
Foo'e would not avail himself Of the offer un.
less he could appear before the Legislature, he
went TO the Representatives. Hall and announc.
ed himself ready to meet his accusers. if they
dared to confront him; nay, mOre--he again
threw down the challenge TO Gov. Quitman IN
his Message as n most dangerous aud alarming
docnmen', one calculated, unless rebuked, to
lead 10 most disasEous consed %uences. He also
challenged Roger to meet him there, face TO
lace, on the charges preferred against him,
ana still more-he defed B,r'on To meet him
on the resolution for secessi n, offered bv the
SAID Roger at holly Springs. Barton refused
to accept the glove thus CALAMITY thrown down,
and yet refused 10 agree that Gen. Footc should
be heard in his own defense, and would NOT
meet the General and defend his own abomi.
