A GLORIOUS sign in the South

The New Orleans PiedyUhe, heretofore a neutral

nees of the Baltimore Wing Convention. We doubt
not this example will be follow, d by many other la

out the South. The importance which the PieayuAe
gives TO the movement of the old line Wings is IN
striking aud singular contrast with the hippant aud
ridiculous talk of the Democracy. We take from it
the following extracts:
