PUBLIC MEETING.

In pursuance of previous notice, large
and respectable meeting of the Wings of
Augusta took place at the Courthouse on
the first day of the October Court, for the
purpose of organizing the party in view of
the approaching election Of State officers
john McCUE, Esq, was unanimously ap-
pointed Chairman of the meeting, and l..
WADDELL, Secretary.
Mr.. McCUE not being present, Col. JOHN
B. BALDWIN was chosen Vice President,
and occupied the Chair throughout the
meeting,
A favorable opportunity being afforded
by the occasion, the several Wing candi-
dates for the Legislature announced them
selves in short but sensible and pertinent
speeches-HUGH w. SHrrFEY, for the
Senate-JoHN D. IMBoDEN, JoHN L. Ply
TON, JAMES WALKER and JOHN A. TATE,
Esquires, for the House of Delegates. All
these gentlemen concurred in hearty devo-
ton to the Wing cause, disclaimlng all is
sues but those involved in the contest for
Whig principles, and protested determin-
ation to sacrifice all personal considerations
for the benefit of the Wing party, aid its
triumph. Especially and emphatically,
were these declarations made by Mr.. I'M
poDEY, who complained of the great injus-
tice that had been done HIM by the unbound
cd imputation Of other sentiments.
Al this stage of the proceedings, WIN.
KINNEY, Esq, in view of the number Of
Wing candidates already declared, and in
prospect submitted proposition for Coun-
ty Convention, in order TO settle the con-
hicting claims ofindividuals, and make such
as in the opinion Of the Con.
vention, might unite the Wing vote and
the strength of the County
This proposition was acceded to, unanl-
mously.
1t was also agreed upon, after remarks
from several gentlemen, that the selection
of delegates by the people in the various
precincts, should take place on Saturday the
9Th of November-and that the delegates as
eemble in Convention at the Courthouse
on Monday, the 10th of the same month
that when convened, each precinct should
be entitled to vote according 10 its Wing
strength in the Presidential election of 1S48.
It was then resolved, that in view of the
coming election for State officers, Central
Committee of Vigilance, TO consist of TWEEN
tv-five members be appointed for this Coun-
ty, with power TO select from their number
an Executive Committee ofthirteen, and to
appoint subcommittee in the precincts.
Thus, has oil been cas-: upon the troubled
watcrs-thus, the divisions in the Wing
ranks healed-thus, the predictions and an
ticipations Of our opponents falsifed and
lisappointcd-and now the Wings of OLD
Augusta, have only TO bestir themselves
and if victory in the coming contest be not
ours, neither will be the blame. Remem-
Der the Sth of December.

SUMMERS ON TILE STUMP.

The welcome intelligenc has reached US,
that Mr.. SUMMERS has buckled on his ar

We have heard it limited that possibly Old

some attention.
Should Mr.. SUMMERS take Staunton in
the route of his travels, (Which we believe
is his intention) Augusta County will turn
out en- masse to meet and welcome him.
An all-absorbing desire pervades the COM
munity to see and hear him, and if his
dwarfsh competitor should venture within
the sweep of the great mans battle-axe, a
visit will be relished all the more. We
want the people to see the two men togeth-

NexAs's RisHr CoNrENTloS.-A Convention
sf Wolreu was held last week al Worcester, Mass,
TO discuss tho rights Oh womea, aud the way 10 ob,
lain them The platfTTi adopted, clsims perfect
equality Tor woman with ruau in every social civ
ii aad political priyilege-wiih the right to choOse
Tor herself, independent of all dicauon from the
sterner sen, what calling she will pursue for her sup
pert. Mos,of the speakers in their addresses came
slly up to the spirit aud letter Of the resolutions,
while one OF two claimed only that woman should
be free to educate herself for the duties and reSpan
|sibhiles which degOiYeS upon her rs the comPan-
ion of man. One lady, Mrs Nichols, OF Vermont,
bald woman should DO educated IN order to be able
0 assist her husband in the business offe; 50 that
sickness oyertake hin, she may 6e able 10 step
|in,o his place and relieve him in the hour of his
Extremity lrum anxiety and care about his business
|eiljrs. She would have her qualified 10 t'ach her
children how TO act their parts ia lie. Further
nle she contends for an alteration in the laws re-
kpecling property. The wife should have All equal
right with The husband, and at his dec2ase she
khouId inherit it. Ofwoman's political rights she
had nothing to say. She did not ,as did some 9th,
ers, cOnteud that women should be conductors on
tailrnads, steamboat captains, &c, but would leave
/ hM fIr the other sex. This Convention was we'll

A VILE SLANpER.-Sincc the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. SUMMERS, all sorts of stories
have been manufactured and circulated for
the purpose Of defeating his election. A
mong other shameless and malicious SLAM
ders, the chiefest of them all has reached
our ears, viz: That he is san immoral and
dissipated man." We learn that this charge
is assiduously urged against Mr. SUMMERS
in the country, and feel called upon to de-
nounce it thus publicly as base SANDER.
Friends and foes unite in bearing testimony
to the purity and integrity of his character.
During the session Of the Democratic Con-
yention, TIE member from Kanawha the
near neighbor and personal friend of Mr..
SUMMERS, spoke of him as gentleman Of
unblemished reputation and high moral
worth, to which sentiment every honest and
candid Democrat will subscribe.
The charge doubtless owes its parentage
to some ale-house politician, and deserves
nothing more than simple contradiction.
Mr.. CLAWS LrTrER.-A large portion
of our space this week is occupied by the
incompatible letter of Mr.. CLAY to the
citizens n. Y. on the subject Of Secession.
The universal interest felt in the subject at
this time and the inquiry excited in refer
ence to it, together with the unrivalled a.
biity of the document, constitute our apol-
ogy for devoting so much room to one topic.
Every reader of intelligence will derive
pleasure and profit from aperusal Of the let
ter. The last days Of the venerable states
man and patriot seem TO be his best days.
FIRST PAGE.-Wc publish on the first
page of this paper a perfect gem OF story
by Judge LoNGsTREEr, Of Georgia, copied
from the Magnolia, to which we are indebt-
ed for many good things of the kind. II
has been our aim, in this department of the
Spectator, to furnish at all tunes the high
est order of light literature. While the u
sual variety is apparently absent this is
sue, it is in fact embodied in the excellent
story alluded to, which will be read with
exceeding interest, and if properly lmprov-
ed, much profit by young and old.
IMPRovrMENT.-We understand that Mr..
MoNcURE. of Richmond, who comes into
possession of the old FAcKLER Mill proper
tv IN this place, in February next, on the
expiration of the lease Of ninety-nine years,
intends to remove all the buildings at pres
est on the premises and erect Mill capa-
bic Of turning out hundred barrels of flour
dav. The work will be commenced early
in the Spring.
