SYRACUSE, Monday, July 5, 1852
Wing fires burn brightly in old Onon-
dasa about these DAYS. The nomination of the
old Hero and Chief WINFIELD ScoTT, has infns.
ed new life into the Wing party and at the same
tine psIalized that Of our opponents. The cam
paigns of 1910 and 1913 did not compare with the
COED feeling and union exhibited at this time. Ii
is just two weeks to- day since SCoTT was NOM
mated, and from the hour that it was announced
in our young city there has been a succession OF
signs favorable to the success Of the Wings this
fall. On the evening that the good news was re-
ceved, a spontaneous gathering took place in the
vicinity of the Syracuse House, where q band of
music discoursed the glad tidngs, amid the
burning of barrels Of tar, explosion OF fireworks
end the cheers Of the multitude. Ii looked like
the latter end Of 1870 only a Httie more so
In day or t 40 thereafter the Young Men set
about forming SCOTT Club. That IS nov or
eaniZed. J. NJ. TAYLOR, a " live" Wing, PTesl-
dent, with sixteen V. Presidents, and Secretaries,
of the same sort. Our Club Room IS now ready,
and we intend to supply ourselvt with documents
for free distribution, and organize our city thor
Oughly.
On Saturday evening last, we had our Ritifca-
ton meeting. 1t was a rOUser! The Boys were
on hand. Two hundred guns were hred, any
quantity of tar and wood suffered and the long
procession was headed by two bands OF music
Some of the banners carried in the proce ssion
were unique-two especially. One OF these
represented a large Bort Of Soup and the other
a monstrous loaf of Graham Bread-both IN
tended for dyspeptlc Locos.
Gen T.. W. LEAvENwORTH resided at the meet
ing. with large number OF other officers.
Speeches were made by Gen. GRANGER, DANIEL
Corr and GEO. +. CONsToCK. A new Giee Club
made their debW on the occasion. It's reception
was enthusiastic. The resolutions were reported
by the committee and passed by the meeting
uI animOusly. They ndorse the proceedings OF
the Baltimore Convention cordially, and pledge
the Wings to stand by the enlargement question,
notwithstanding the iactiOus course OF Chdlhefd
4, To- The peOple in this section are not through
with this question. The Wings here would prefer
the denomination of Gov. Hunt, and then we
shall be pleased TO join issue with the enemies OF
the Canals under the leadership Of ex Speaker
SEYMOUR who is fishing for the Loco NOMINATION
for Governor. We beat Mr. :. with Gov llCST,
when the issue was less distinct. think we can
do il much easier this fall. The nomination OF
Gen. SCOTT has cemented our ranks, and we shall
be Joined by hundreds and thousands OF orr oppo-
nents. We hear every day, in different parts oil
the country, of LocOs who intend to vote Tor
SCoTT. MANY of them are prominent and lniiu-
entail. and will carry their neighbors with them.
The Irish in particular, are enthusiastic for the
Hero of Hundred Battles. Our gains from this
source will be heavy. Our opponents evidently
see the hand writing on the wall, but what TO DO
they know not In this region they are not IN
clined TO talk much on politics. They cannot say
ANYTHING against Gen. ScoTt and OF Pierce they
know little and appear to care less.
The celebration of the Attn to-day has been very
spinted-much more so than at any tune during
ten wears past. Several military and FIRE compa-
MES moved in the procession. The town appears
to be lull of people. A newly organized company,
called the Syracuse Light Dragons, ex-Mayor
A. II. HovEY, Captain, made its appearance, and
is highly spoken oE | am sorry to say that sew
cral accidents have happened to-day. German,
while loading the cannon, was killed by its prema-
ture discharge. boy also seriously IN
iured in his hand by the firing of pistol, and sew
eral other accidents are reported. IL is doubtful
suesiion whether such celebrations are more COM
mendabe in the breach or in the observance. |

streets-riotous crowds, fights, yells, &c.-l think
too much bad liquor has been drunk in our town
