Whig Meeting at San Francisco.

The large hall on the second floor of the
Union Hotel building, was filled last night by
members of the re-organized Whig party,
Gregory Yale, Esq, acted as chairman. The
several committees appointed at the previous
meeting to appoint Delegates to the Nomn-
atng Convent on, etc. reported the names of
members selected. The reports were adopted
a great deal of enthusiasm prevailed and a
large number of gentlemen came forward and
announced that they had sent in their resig-
nations to the Know Nothing lodges, and in
tended to act in future with the Whig party
Subs quently to the meeting Young Mems
Wing Club was organized. with upwards of
fifty members. The following gentlemen were
elected officers of the club President, William
Turnbul; Vice Presidents. r. w. Davis and
F. Vassault Secretary, John A. Lent; Trea-
surer, Samuel C. Harding.
A resolution was adopted inviting Wings
who owed allegiance to no other political or
ganizatOn, to join the club and the signing
of the roll was held to he recognition of
their adhesion to Whig principles. We un-
dtrstand that it is the intention of the Wings
to hold public meetings in their hall in the
Union Hotel building every night until the
day of election. Officers of the club will he
in attendance during the day to receive the
names of members. The Whig County Con
vention will meet to ght. 1t is stated that
gentlemen of high standing and undoubted
integrity have offered themselves as candi-
dates before the conventions without ref renee
to the character Of the office. with the view
only Of securing the nomination of strong

The National Whigs.

In almost every State in the Union there
are still some Wings left who stand up for the
honor and principles of their ancient party
and condemn. in no measured terms, that por
tion of the party that have gone over to the
Know Nothings. Mr.. Bronson, in speaking in
the Whig State Convention of Maine, used
the following language in reference to the
midnight Order
"Can man with any elfrespcct. or who
has drawn his principles from the fountain
head of the revolutionary h. roes-trom those
men who have been leaders in the country for
the last thirty years. say, is there man
rho has any .elfrespect, who is ril ing to be
blind. .folded, and by bIasphemous ooths to
abandon those principles .found IN the rerolu-
tion and Join himself to a party which, if we
know anything about them at all. has nothing

which gave rise and success to the revolution.

The youngest son of the great Henry Clay
recently made a speech at Lexington, Ken

Nothing order. Hear him:-

late Know Nothing convention at Phladcl-

The Know Nothing Nominations.

FKTDAY NIGHT, Aug. a.
Editor of the Herald: The American Party
held a mass meeting this evening at Musical
Hall to ratity the nominations made 10y their
delegates in Convention: but, finding great
dissatisfaction existed, the delegates pac,ed
the mass meeting and the Hon. Bale Peyton
was called to the Chair. and in a long speech
supported the nominees in direct opposition
to the wishes of the majority of that Order.
But one good thing is the result of their ac-
ton: five hundred of that body will Withdraw
and support the Democratic ticket at the en-
suing election. Yours, **+

The Fate of the X. II. Democrats.

The Wings can return to their first love, but
alas for the renegade Democrats! They have
sinned beyond the hope of political redemp
ton, till with years of penitence and tears
they atone for going astray. They must sit
suIm ssivc for long time on the stool OF re-
pentance, ere again they can hope for pref
ment at the hands of the Democracy! The
Wings will not have thcm-the Democrats
will not have them--and they must go wan
deriny about ! ke sheep without IA shepherd;
or rather like the bat in the fable, that, being
on the side of the birds and the beasts alter
nately, was refused fellowship by both. The
ambitious asp rants for distinguished positions,
when they saw the star of Sam in the ascen-
dant, could not wait for preferment in the
Democratic ranks, but wildly rushed into his
embrace, thinking thus to secure the coveted
prize. But they sadly miSjndged. Their
vaulting ambition overleaped itself, and they
have fallen on t'other side, PROSTATE and in
the dust .fHd.
