remsrks took occasion to endorse Of his know

Congress.
Speaking in all candor the meeting the largest and
most enthusiastic Of the kind have Our De-
mocrac fellowcitzens concede this They struck
with surprise by the demonstration and equally astonsh
ed the harmony union and good feeling which charac
self agreeaby disappointed knew the spirit was
up and that in the ascendant but neither
myself any other Wing in the vast multitude antc

Of Baltimore in better spirits, and some are
sanguine believe that will not only elect our
candidate for Mayor but give the vote of Baltimore to

The Wings Of the First Congressional District
held large and effective meeting at Nottingham,
Prince Georges county, on the llth instant Ro-
BERT GHIsELIN, Esq. presided, and addresses were
made by Hon. JANE b. RIoAUD, Hon. AUGUSTUS
r. SoLLERs, and Gen. THos. f. BOWIE. The ad-
dresses, the Marlboro Gazette says, were listened
with great attention, and frequently interrupted
by applause. The first district, it predicts, will
give as large majority for ScoTT as it did for
TAYLOR.
| A meeting of the Wings of Cumberland was held
in that city on Saturday evening last at which ad-
dresses were delivered by GEORGE A. PEARRE and
VIM. PRICE, Esqs Both these gentlemen have
been reported by the Democrats to have refused to
support Gen. ScoTT, and they therefore took occa-
sion to free themselves fully from this charge They
avowed their admiration of Gen. SCOTT both as
soldier and statesman, and declared their inten-
ton of zealously advocating his election. Their
remarks gave great satisfaction, and received
with frequent plaudits.
