Every paper that comes to us brings accounts
of Wing gatherings and Democratic converts
AT Trenton, the capital of New Jersy, an ln
mense meeting was held on Wednesday, Is
inst. The Gazette, of that city, says, "Fron
every quarter Of the State, large delegations
with music and banners, poured IN during the
whole morning. several trains came from the
South, from the East, and from the North all
crowded with enthusiastic Wings. The ADA
cent counties came in, in all sorts OF vehicles,
| from a sulkey to an eight mule team. BY noon

with music, banners, and professions. Bur-
! lington county sent two large delegations, one

This sounds like 1910.
a great meeting was also held in lndepen-
dcnce Square, on Wednesday evening, which
was addressed from two stands, by several
eloquent members of Congress. The Phlla-
delphla Inquirer says

Wing meeting, held in Independence Square,
on Wednesday evening last, was one OF the
largest and most enthusiastic popular demon
strations that has ever taken place on any occa-
sion in Philadelphia. Our friends from other
sections of the Union were at once surprised
and delighted, and they will return home salts
fed that Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are de-
termined to do their whole duty The scene
presented, as the various clubs and deputalons
marched into the square with their flags ban
ners, torches, and lanterns, was truly exciting.
A multitude of thousands was in motion, all
animated by the same spirit, and eager in the
same cause. There was not a whisper of dis
cord from first to last. Every thing passed off
in the happest MANNER and notwithstanding the
adjournment did not take place till near mid
night-haf-p past eleven oclock-there were
thousands still on the ground, and apparently
willing to remain there till morning. In truth,
the Whig fires burn brlghtly-the prospect is
full of encouragement"
An enthusiastic meeting of German citizens
favorable to the election Of Gen. Scott, was
holden in Rochester, n Y, on Thursday last,
and club was formed. The meeting was ad
dressed by several influential German citizens,
one of whom, an eX-Aderman, said that he
"had always been Democrat, and as such he
could not vote for Pierce and King" The
meeting broke up with loud cheers for ScoTr
and GRAHAM.
