silvery lustre shone down upon a lively, cheerful,
hopeful joyous and enthusiastic meeting last night!
Never have the assembled people Of our
city congregated under circumstances more pleas.
ing and auspicious.
Around the stately flagstaff erected by our
friends near the Northern Liberties Market, fine
and spacious rostrum had been erected. Above i
flowers and green boughs were taste fully arranged
and the flag Of our country suspended at various
places in their midst. Transparencies, Represent
ing well. remembered scenes in country's event
full history in each of which prominent part was
sustained by General Winfield Scott, were also
ranged around. No caricature of the candidates of
our opponents, no offensive emblems were here ar.
rayed. Good taste, dignity. and respect toward all
appearedto have influenced the getters-up of this
display in every particular.
As soon as night had closed in, the gorgeous
rockets high in air apprized US of the approaching
hoLr. The young Wings Of the Northern Liner
ties, having left their satches and school books at
home, were prompt in the voluntary performance
Of what they regarded as their duty, and the bon
fres soon lighted up their ardent flames, and sent
spires ofsmoke like incense to the heavens.
In due time the strains Of Marsoletti's band, to
the inspiring tune of Rally Whigs!" were heard
upon the breeze, and WALTEa LENox and his host
of true and working Wings approached with firm,
quick, and measured tread to the scene Of action.
The spectacle was at this moment beautifully
imposing. The congregation was immense, com
posed not merely Of strong, vigorous. and decided
men, but Of the wives, and sons, and daughters Of
our fellow. citizens, who, in their attention to the
addresses, gave evidence of the fact that they had
come hithcr not merely to gaze upon splendid
spectacle, but to hear and to comprehend the
words that were to be spoken.
tempt to report even the substance of what was
said. The place, the scene, the impulse under
which they spoke cannot be described, and yet o
description If them would be essential to a fair
report. In all things there was a fitness and q
propriety seldom realized.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. E. F.
QUEEN, President of the Northern Liberties Wing
Club, who introduced to the meeting
JAMES M. CARLISLE. esq. Mr.: Carlisle surveyed
the rich adornments Of the platform around him,
and the streaming banners above. He hailed the
banner Of his country with a joyous greeting
Beneath its ample folds he proudly stood, battling,
not for the success Of faction or Of party, but for
the welfare Of his own, his native land. He re-
cited the history Of that flag. It's adoption was the
act that, seemingly, gave real, separate, and
distinctive existence to US as free and independ-
ent nation. He invoked for the love and protec-
ton of every freeman, and breathed prayer that
it might shelter and protect "the land of the free
and the home of the brave" till the latest hour Of
recorded time.
Mr.. Carlisle gave utterance to many passages of
glowing, fervid, and exquisite eioquence, and
evinced an ardent devotion to our sacred cause
that found quick response in every heart.
CHARLES UPToN, esq, Of Virginia, was next in
troduced. Wewere impressed by his appearance,
manner, and address, with the conviction that we
should have but a quiet and classic hoinily, too
much subdued by an over regard for conventional
propricties; but It did not take him long to diss-

quick, biting telling satire we must travel far To
lind bis superior. His bitterest enemy could not
complain Of rudeness at his hands, while his best
friends would be reluctant to his barbs leveled
toward themselves. His address was universally
commended by the Wings who heard him, while
our opponents could be heard to murmur depre-
eating remonstrance rather than an angry com
plant.
The Hon. HENRy d. MOORE, of the Northern
Liberties Of Philadelphia, said he felt at home in
our Northern Liberties. His speec oh was argumen.

tnent, and compact argument has seldom been
made before popular auditory; and yet there was
not syllable of 1t that did not fall with distinct
ness upon the mind of even the least informed of
all his hearers.
There s a something peculiar and admirable in
the oratory of Mr.. Moore-and undoubting, un.
faltering precision and evident sincerity. In Ian
guage his effort was faultless. Not word escaped
him that did not appear to be precisely the word to
express his thought. Not q word was CROPPED after.

could not fault his diction. Wewere in special
manner pleased and impressed by the combination of
these qualities, and felt as MIR. Moore spoke, how
vain the artistic aids sought by many speakers
when compared with che impressiveness of a man
of clear mind, of honest convictions, and Of warm
and ardent feelings, who disdains the strained
precepts of scholastic counsels.
EaAsTus BRooKs' esq OF New York, was the
next speaker. His was the longest speech of the
evening and yet he ceased amidst the cries of go
on! go on!''
MI. Brooks surveyed the field, its past history,
its present aspect, and its anticipated future His
encomiums upon the first choice Of his heart for
the Presidency, the able, the liberal, and the pa
triotic FILLMORE, was a beautiful passage in his
discourse. Had he no other motive impelling him
to the course Of true Wing, the example OF that
honored son of the Empire State should alone suf-
flee for the heart of no Wing in our glorious Re-
public throbs more ardently in it's impulses in
behalf of the cause of WISFIsLD ScoTr than docs
that of WILLARD FILLMORE!
In the history Of political parties, in free and
bold defamation, in the use Of apt aud pertinent
quotations from the English classics, or rather
american classics, and in hopeful enthusiasm, Mr..
Brooks shone resplendently in this address.
Major JAMES A. MoREA, Of Louisiana. was next
introduced, and If ever an celebrating influence
was diaosed throughout vast audience by the
last night. Anecdotes. apt in illustration and
pointed in each moral, seemed to spring from his
brain like gems of beauty from foaining fountain.
Not thought was presented to his mind for which
he had not prepared the serio comic drapery Of a
