PorGuKEEPsIE. Aug, l5li


Yesterday had the pleasure of attending an
other glorious gathering of LOCO Wings of the
good old Dutch town of New -Paltz, in Ulster Co.
Although it was but for the town. the gallant
Wings poured in from all directions, in process
sions Of four. herse teams, and formed one of the
most enthusiastic meetings. for local gathering,
that have ever witnessed; ;-lS40 was outdone.


The regular proceedings were commenced with
speech from Mr.. WM. H. Van WAGNER, the
Poughkecpsie Blacksmith, who addressed the
company Just an hour and a half. l believe
am guilty of no exaggeratlon when assert that,
as an address to the plain common sense of the
electors, whatever might have been their previous
opinions in reference tn the great issues now be-
fore them it was the best thing OF the kind have
ever heard. 1t was plain, blunt, incontrovertibic
truth throughout, laid down in such forclble and
eloquent style, that cannot doubtit carried con.
vction to every honest heart. And 1t did CARRY
conviction with it, for not a Loco Foco present
expressed word of dissatisfaction, or questioned
the correctness OF one OF his conclusions.


He was followed by our good and faithful
friend JosErn HoxIE, Esq. who spoke about three
quarters OF an hour, and finished up in the best
style what was lett unfinished by Mr.. Van
Wayne. Several soul.strIing songs were also
sung.


The meeting was held in the open field, and
al hough no less than three pretty smart showers
OF rain passed over US while the addresses were
going on, scarcely a man left his post, all being
wiling TO stand rain in any quantity rather than
submit to the reign of [" CO. FocoISm.


BY the way, suppose you have seen in the
rawlings Of the Highlend Democrat, the Loco.
Foco organ at Peekskill, that the Blacksmith dis
charged his duiy most no5ly at that place. The
Democrat storms abou. MS speech in a style
which shows how the effects are felt by our op-
poncnts, but does not attempt reiutation OF one
Of his arguments. Yours truly, I.P.
