ICouxrNICATED.


1t was my good fortune to be in your city
on Friday night last, to participate IN the
rejoicings of the Wings over their recent
victories in the old Commonwealth. Not
seeing in the papers any notice that any
thing of the sort was to come Oft, | regarded
it as a spontaneous outburst OF Wing en-
thpsissm. repaired with the crowd to the
Marshall House, where quite q number had
collected. and where cheer after cheer was
sent up for the gallant leaders of our party,
who had so nobly carried the Wing banner
throughout the State. Amid the enthusiasm
prevailing, | distinguished the voice OF the
orator, who strenuously contended against
the United States being made II Botany Bay,
for the reception of the criminals and pau.
pers Of Europe. The cheers OF the crowd
here were yociferous, and cries OF give 1t
to EN-" vent up from all quarters. 1t re-
minded me of a similar scene at the same
place in 80. At the conclusion OF the
speech the welkin rung with shouts tor Jog
gin, Boteler, and Thomas, and when the
band struck up Rally Wings, did "holier
sure enough. The rain dispersed the au-
diencs, but so great was the enthusiasm man,
itested that they seemed unwilling TO n
heirjolli6cation, and with the band. proceed
Ell to serenade some of the active members
OF our party, thereby showing that they had
not forgotten their valuable services in times
past.
Altogether the Wings have great cause of
rejoicing, and | was glad to zee that their
victory was duly appreciated. We have re,
duced the majority in this District from 400
to 800; beaten Faulkner, assisted in beat
ing three or four of the regular nominees,
made gains in the Legislature, and came
asar Aecting our State ticket" WING.
