We publah above the official proceedings of the
Wing ratification meeting ut the court house,
the evening of the 9th inst. The meeting was
large, the courtroom being entirely filled. The
resolutions, adopted az they were with entire unan
unity by go large a meeting of the Wings OF this
county and city, speak for themselves, and
will sufficiently indicate to our Wing brethren
throughout the State the spirit in which the nom-
nations of Scott and Graham received by the
Wings of franklin.

to others the zeal, the determination, and the en-
thusiasm SO freely elected by the powerful and
eloquent address Of Mr.. Morehead, or the intense
interest excited in the audience by the truly gra-

Baltimore Convention by Col. Brown.
