The Wing Convention at Madison on the 3lst
uls. was one of the most glorious demonstrations
that have been made during the campaign. The
whole number on the ground ct the organization
was estimated at over Fifteen thousand, and
the enthusiasm surpassed any thing ever before
witnessed in that region. A correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, writing from the ground,
says:


alt is asserted by the Georgia Wings, and,
from what have seen and heard, have every
reason TO believe it true, that TIE enthusiasm IN
sPircd BY Mr. CLAY far exceeds that excited by
Gen. HAgRIsoS-and it is confidently believed
thathe will carry the State with rush. letter
was received here to-day from Hon. John
Bell, of Tennessee, stating that MIR. CLAY would
carry that State by even larger majority than 1t
gave to the lamented H,RRIsoN-the Polk stalk
won't grow even IN Tennessee. The recent
movement ofthe Van Buren, clique in New York,
against annexation, and expressive of their dis
content with the nomination of Mr.. Polk, is re-
garded here as decisive of the coming contest IN
the Empire State and d rulnor has reached US
here, regarded as equally auspicious Of the inlen
tion-of Mr.. Rhett, OF your State, and many other
of your ultra anti-tarifies, to abandon the cause
of MIR. Polk, in Just punishment of his double
dealing on the subject of the Tariff, and OF his
open catering for the vote Of Pennsylvania on
Tariff grounds. Nay, people even begin to think
that the nomination of Mr.. Polk is SO dead a
failure that the bob tail nag of Tennessee will be
drawn before the race comes of, and the Great
Eclipse stced be left to walk over the curse"


The same correspondent gives the following
brief account OF the proceedings of the Conven-

ton, which is the latest we have from there:

with splendid effort defensive Of the protective
policy, and the rejection of the Texas treaty.
PREsToy, the gifted the glorious PREsToN, has
snoken at the hazard OF his iifes-the Unlon-the
Union was his theme, and he pledged, he swore
TO it an undyng devotion. With inlmiIabe hu-
NOR did he describe the convulsivc throes OF par
tnrtion with which the Democratic Conventlon
with obstelric aid from every quarter OF the land
was delivered not of the expected moRStrooS
abortion. but Of little JIM Polk. He demolished
the spurious democracy of the cay-he demon.
stra,ed it's dcstructiyencss and Jacoblnlsm, and
held it up in its naked deiormlty to patriot scoIn
and Indignation. His feebleness of body only
rendered the more brilliant the glorious corrusca-
tions Of his mind-thc Lightning flashes of his
psnius-and the Wing ear of Georgia was raw
lshed with delight and the democratic ear appalled,,
BY the magnificent and spirit stirring eloquencce
Of the native vlrginian, adopted by South Carroll
ma, and proudly given by her to the service OF the
Union, and the cause of Liberty, Justice and the
Constitution He concluded with solemn and
impressive prayer that tins glorious coneaefaey s
mighty God-and to this the universal assembly,
in ill' deep reverence, responded, Amen"


The Convention then retiredi to dinner and
there indeed they went the whole hog. After
dinner they met again, and Mr.. JENKINS took the
stand Messrs. THOMSON, STEPHENS, HuTchiN-
SON, YEApoN, and others, were to follow.
