Boston Courier says of the Wing meeting held
in that city on Monday = rE
Tho Wing meeting, at Chapman Hall, last
evening which assembled for the purpose Of
selecting one hundred and thirty-two delegates
to represent the city of Boston in the Wing State
Convention, which is to be convened in this city
on the third proximo, and to choose twenty -four
members of the Wing Ward and County Com,
mittee,-was a reality which surprised some of
the timid and wavering gentlemen who hoped
for different state of affairs The hall was
crowded, and tried Wings guided the delibera-
tons. ,t a 1.tuae,l. s.,,....i
upon the Wings not only of Boston and Massa-
chusetts, but of the entire country. The list Of
delegates appointed to the State Convention en-
braces the names of gentlemen who have been
distinguished as Wings in other days and have
given illustration to the party and the great
principles which it has always professed The
individuals who went to the meeting with o view
LQf directing its course into the Fremont current
1ust have been disappointed. Nevertheless, like
The sinner who went to the Church of Gold
smiths parson for the purpose Of scoffing, these
Fremont gentlemen avowed the true faith and
scquiesced, as gracefully as men in their posi-
ton could, in the sentiment of the meeting,
which was anti-sectional from the beginning to
the end
