A Glorious WING aiiyi--The Northern
Liberties OF Warrington!

A Glorious WING Rally 1.-The Northern
Liberties OF Warrington!
THE moon and stars, in silyery lustre, shone
dewn upon q lively, cheerful, hopeful, joyous
and enthusiastic meeting last night Never have
we seen the assembled people Of our city con-
gregated under circumstances more pleasing and
auspicious'
around the stately flag staff erected by our
friends near the Northern Liberties Market a
fine aud spacious rostrum had been erected.
Above it flowers and green houghs were tastefully
arranged, and the flag of our country suspended at
various places in their midst Transparencies,
representing well remembered scenes in our.
country's eventful history, in each Of which
prominent part was sustained by General Winfield
Scott, were also ranged around. No carricature
Of the candidates Of our opponents, no offensive
emblems were here arrayed Good taste, dig
nifty, and respect toward all appeared to haye in
tpenced the gettcroup Of this display in every
particular.
AS soon as night had closed in, the gorgeous
rockets high in air apprized us of the approach
ing hour. The young Wings of the Northern
Liberties, having left their satchels and school
books at home, were prompt in the voluntary
performance of what they regarded rs Meir duty
and the bou.ffes soon lighted up their ardent
flames and sent spires of smoke like incense to
the heavens.
In due time the strains Of Marsolettrs band, to
the inspiriting tune of Rally Wings" were
heard upon the breeze, and WALTER 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 beauti-
fully imposing. The congregation was immense
composed not merely Of strong vigorous and
decided men, but Of the wives, and sons, and
daughters, of our follow-citizens, who, in their
attention to the addresses gave evidence of the
fact that they had come hither not merely TO gaze
upon splendid spectacle, but to hear and to
comprehend the words that were to be spoken.
We viii not do the speakers the injustice to at
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 a
description Of them would be essential to a fair
report. In all things there was fitness and a
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 NJ. CARLISLE, esq. Mr.. Carlisle surveyed
the rich adornments of the platform around him,
aad the streaming banners above. He hailed the
banner of his country with n 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

distinctive existence to us as free and ndepend-
ent nation. lie invoked for il the love and pro-
lection of every freeman, and breathed prayer
that it might shelter aud protect "the land of
the free and the home Of the brave" till the latest
hour of recorded time!
Mr. Carlisle gave utternnce to many passages
of glowing, fervid, and exquisite eloquence and
eyinced an ardent devotion TO our sacred cause
that found n quick response in every heart.
CHARLES CPToN, esq, of Virginia, was next in
troduced. We were impressed by his appearances,
manner, and address, with the conviction that we
should have hut quiet and classic homiy too much
subduedby an regard for conventional propri-
cties butt did not take him long to dissipate this
notion and excite TO the utmost the risibles Of his
vast auditory. In keen invective and quick biting,
telling satire we must travel far 70 find his super
Tor. His btterost enemy could not complain OF
rudeuess at his hands, while his best friends
would be reluctant to see HE barbs levelled to-
ward themselves. His address was universally
commended by the Wings who heard him, while
our opponents could be heard to murmer depre-
eating remonsrance rather than On angry com
plant.
The Hon. Henry ID. MOORE, of the Northern
liberties Of PtiladelDhio. said he felt at home il
our Northern Liberties. His speech was argu

and impressive manner. It was clear, logical,
intelligent and right to the point. more forci
BILE, pertinent and compact argument has seldom
been made before popular auditory and YET
there was not 4 syllable of it that did not fal
with distinctness upon the mind of even the least
informed Of all his hearers.
There is something peculiar and admirable in
the oratory Of Mr.. Moore--an undoubting, an.
faltering precision and evident sincerity. In
language his effort was faultess Not word
escaped him that did not appear TO be precisely
the word to express his thought Not n word
was CROPPED after. Not word was used that APP
peared to be culled from the lexicon. And yet
hyper criticism itself could not fault his diction
We were in special manner pleased and i'm.
pressed by the combination Of these qualities ana
felt as Mr. Moore spoke, how vain are the artistic
aids sought by many speakers when compared
with The impressivenesso Of man Of clear mind, Of
honest convictions and Of warm and ardent feel
