The WING RATIFICATION Meeting.


Flaming handbills were posted up on last
Friday, announcing that the wings would
have grand ratification meeting on the Sat
urday evening following at o'clock. They
were invited 'to come in their strength
come to the rescae,"
"And help to start that ball to roll anew,
For Winfield Scott and Graham too"
Saturday evening came-the court house
bell was rang three different times-the peo-
, pie still did not come. Something must be
done to raise crowd. The Band was sent
after to come and discourse some of their
best music. hoping that it would do what that
great popularity of Gen. Scott, that we hear
so much talk of, could not do, that is to
draw crowd. The band came and played
couple of tunes in the court house yard.
After this was done the crowd began to come
The Band then marched into the Court
House, and the crowd 70 lowed after them,
where the meeting was already organized,
waiting to receive whoever might come. AT
this Time the house was pretty well filled
with boys, little girls, niggers, Free Soiers.

TWAS then moved that John A. Bingham
ESQ.,, address the meeting. Mr.. B. COM
menced by giving Senator Douglass a. few
digs for something that Mr.. B. said he had
done, that he considered wrong. We thought
if Douglass had only been there he would
have felt so Iad But he was saved the
trouble of having his feelings mortified by
being absent He then went on and told the
audience that Gen. Scott had done things
which his oath and his commission required
him to do, and for which service he received
nearly as large salary as the President of
the United States does. And for doing all
that he thought he ought to be made Presi-
dent.
The resolutions were then read by the
chairman of the committee appointed to
draft them, who is an ex- candidate for Sen
atol and at present candidate for Congress,
The resolutions said that Gen. Scott was a
great man, had fought some hard battles,
&C., but not one word was SAID about the
Platform adopted by their National Conven-
ton. Whether the candidate for Congress,
and the editor of the Republican, who was
also on the committee to draft resolutions,
forgot that important matter we cannot say
A wag who sat close to us remarked thai
the reason that the resolutions praised uE
Gen. Scott so much was, on account of hi.

that of more importance than the election o
Gen. Scott, and we thoughtso too.

that he was embarrassed; but he guesse,
