,We give (ho . Interesting correspondence between
Gen. Csss and the Committee appointed by the late
Democratic National Convention; in another part of
to-day*a paper. The letter of Gen. Cans, remarks
Ul9 Pennsylvanian, Is a master piece, and we should
like to too what ,our opponents will say of it. It
speaks right out, without fear or favor, and takes the
boldest ground in favor of the resolutions of tho late
Convention. Nothing could be more appropriate in
itself or more unexceptionable in ail respects, (ban
this admirable letter.
IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
Tho Supreme Court of' this Stale, now silting st
Harrisburg! has reversed the sentence In tho case of
riot, which was tried in our Court alt the lost August
term, and which attracted so much attention at the
lime. By this decision Uis settled that a parly eon*
viclcd of riot cannot he sentenced to separate or soli*
Ury confinement at labor in (he State Penitentiary.
Thp decision is important, as it settles tho law on. s
subject which was hitherto doubtful and undecided,
Fine or imprisonment, or both fine and imprisonment,
is -the only.punlshtncnt, according to this decision,
which can be inflicted in cose of riot. The sentence
is this case is reversed and the. prisoners (eleven in
number) discharged. The case was argued by the
Hon. CrMftLKs Gibsons, of Philadelphia, for the plain*
tiffV' in"orrorv and J. Ej.ua Bonham, JEeq. of this
place, on tho part of tho Commonwealth.

GENa. CASS AND BCTIiER'—TUEIB EIiEC
• TION CERTAIN* *
The bcst,£videncc, toour mind, thotour
aro strong willr the people, may bo .found intho
fierce manner, in wliiclj they, have been assailed
the Federal press. Nojg6cmcr-had the aclion of the
N ational Convention befen announced, than & simul
taneous made by press upon
Generals Cass and Buti.or. -Thaspoitess characters
of our candidates, together with* their past services
to their country, wo had hoped would save then* from
tJie vulgar attacks of a venal and Corrupt press. But
no! What care the Federalists for truth, honor, and
decency? What care those who are willing to give
“aid and comfort” to a foreign foe, if our candidates
did fight the battles of our country? Generals Cabs
: end Butler aro Democrats, and of course they mast
expect the coarse abuse of. hungry office seeking.dc'
magogucs belonging fo the Federal party;' Our can*,
dilates* on many bloody: battlefields,' bared their bo.
some in-defence of the honor-end rights of our coun
try.' But 1 that fact is rather'against them in the
opinion • dl* iufy.; Federalists.; ‘ln ' every war wo
have ever, hud, from the Revolution down,to the pre
sent war with Mexico, the Federalists haye. bepn 6n
the side of the common meahlho leaders
of (hat patty. It’ can hardly be expected, therefore,
that the;enemies .of our country can sea,anything to
admire in those who have.fought onr battles.
.The nomination of'Gen. Cabs for the Presidency,
and Gen. Butlcr for the Vico Presidency, Is evident
ly a bitter, pill for the Federalists, and they now re
sort to their old game of slander and misrepresents*
lion; in the vain hope that the people will credit their
infamous falsehoods. In this our opponents will bo
sorely disappointed, and after the contest iq over, and
the. victory won by the Democratic party, our ene
mies will discover (hat the people are 100 intelligent,
and too patriotic, to be, led ostray from their duty by
falsehood and dishonesty.' The glorious flag of De
mocracy; with the. honored names of Cass. and But.
tsa inscribed upon its silken folds, is now bore aloft
by stoat arms'and warm hearts, and we feel sure
(hat Clio people of this Union will never, permit.that
flag to be struck by the hand of federalism. Not
It will bo defended by (housamls>and hundreds of
thousands of honest American freemen, who will pro
tect it and rally to its support'until it . roaches its
destined triumph.. Cabs and Butijsr will, beyond all
question, succeed in their election. It would be 8
libel upon the American character to suppose that
the people could be induced to recognize the preten
sions of a party whose, leaders have been guilty of
(he blackest treason -to (heir country during every
war in which, (he country has been engaged.
RATIFICATION ÜBETINOi
" Now by fit. Paul, tbs work go os bravely on."
In another' column we publish the proceedings of
the Democratic Ratification Meeting, held in this
borough on Tuesday-evening last. ' Tho meeting was
very large and gtspeetable—the old and tho young
were there—all anxious to take part in the meeting,
and to show their confidents in (he nominees of
tho Wo have never known
our friends more harmonious—never known nomina
tions to give such universal satisfaction. The names
of Cass and Bur&a are honored by tho people, and
this county will give. a sweeping majority, at Uio
next election. M Cass, Butlkb, Painter, and tho sue*
cess of Democratic principles** will continue to be
the rallying cry in old Mother Cumberland.
Tho meeting was most ably addressed by J. E.
Bonham, Esq., J. Dunlap Adair, Esq..and Geo. Willis
Foutke. The two letter speakers,
ed, wore both active and zealous Clay Whigs in
1844. Mr. Adair slumped this,county for Clay du
ring^the' last Presidential -contest—he warone of the
principal Whig speakers during the whole of that
campaign. But, he is now for Cass ont and out, and
in his speech at the meeting and&esday. evening;
'he'safd Ibaf'he considered Lewis Cass doe of: the
greatest American statesmen of the age. He was for
him, ho said, from first to last—and whether Gen. C.
was -elected or defeated; he* (Mr. Adair) was still a
Cass*man.
Gen. Foulkaaidho was personally acquainted with
Generals Cats, Bailer! Scotland Taylor. . That the
two latter were great soldiers, no one would deny'.
But, of the two former it could-bq said with equal
truth that the/ were not only brave sod* gallant sob
dicrf, but great and enlightened statesmen. Gen’li.
Scott and Taylor were military men. and nothing
more—they were well calculated for the army, but
disqualified to assume the administration of the gov
ernment. He was for Csas, and. he thought that
every man with an American heart in hit bosom
should be a Cass>man also. Gen. Cass, be said, wins
a man of enlarged and statesman like views, against |
whose racial character there dare not bo uttered a
whiter. Of Gen. Butler it was unnecessary for
him to say much—his history and the hUlory of the
Duller family jt familiar to nearty every school boy.
William O. Butler is now commander of the Ameri
can army in Mexico, and a braver or more competent
man cou'ld not have been selected for so important a
post. Ho consisted him one of the bravest of the
brave, and a man of very Jdrong.mind. Ho eonelu
ded by hoping to see Cats and duller triumphantly
elected to tho office* of President and Vico .President
of tho United Stales. After Gon. F. had concluded
his remarks, on his motion themeellng adjourned I
> with throo cheers for Cass ond Butler, which were 1
i given with.a most hearty good will.
The True Conrse*
Tho Bradford itoporler, tho organ of Hon. Dario
Wilmot of this State, author of the fur fumed Pro.
visa, raises tho names of Cass, and Dutur to its
mast head, and says It takes this course “cheerfully.”
This displays on the part of that. Journal a proper
spirit. Wo have no doubt, also, Inal Mr. Wilmol
himself will csert oil his influence in his dislrlpl to
promote (ho suocosl of (ho Dcmoc\stlo ticket. If he
can' rcolalm his erring friends, (heompburnetc, ho
will bo doing the cause of Democracy good sendee.
General Soott’e Opinion*
When General Scott left his command ofthe army
In Mexico, he said ho felt extremely gludlhalhe
" could leave the armyin luch excellent hands. Gen.
Wm. O* Duller,” any* he, “ !• not only an able
Statesman, bat an exalted patriot and a brave hero.”

Reply of Gen. Cabs*
. tt[ Washington, May 30,1848.
GafttLeMiN; I ImVo the honor to acknowledge the i
receipt of your letter of the, 28th Instant, announcing
(me that 1 have been-nominated by the convention
of the democratic parly its candidate for the office i
a‘'President of the United States, at the approaching ,
election. ! .
■ While I accept, with deep gratitude, this distin
guished honor—and distinguished indeed it is—l do
so, with a fearful apprehension of the responsibility
it may eventually bring with it,nnd with u.profound
i conviction that it is the hind confidence of my fellow
citizens, far more than any merit of toy own, which
has placed mo thus prominently before the American
people. And fortunate shall 1 be, if tliia confidence
should find, in (he events of (he future, a bettor jus
tification than is furnished by those oflho post.
I have'carefully rend the resolutions of the Demo
cratic National Convention, laying down the platform
of our political faith, and I adhere to thorn os. firmly,
us I approve them cordially. And whllo thus adhe
ring to them, I shall du so with a sacred regard to
“ (ho principles itnd compromises of the constitution,”
and with nn earnest desire for their maintenance “in
a spiril of moderation ond brotherly love, so. vitally
.essential to the perpetuity of,the Union, and tho pros
perity and ’happiness of our common country;”.—a
feeling which has made us what we are, and which,
in humble reliance upon Providence, we may hope is
but tho beginning of what wc are to be. if,culled
upon hereafter to*rem)or an account of my steward
ship, in the great trust you desire lb commit to me,
should I bo able to show that I liad truly redeemed
tho pledge thus publicly given, and had adhered to
tho principlcs of tho democratic party with as much
fidelity snd succors as have generally marked the.
administration of the. eminent men to whom that
party has hitherto confided the chief executive au
thority of the government* I could, prefer nn higher
claim to (ho laVnrnble consideration of our country,
nor to the impartial commendation of history.
This letter, gentlemen, doses my profession of
political faith, ; Reccivingmy Oralappointment from
that pure patriot rind groat expounder of American
democracy* Mr. Jefferson, more than forty, years ago,
tho intervening period of my lifo has been - utmost
wholly passed in tho service of my coflntry, and has
been marked by’many vicissitudes,and attended with |
many trying elrouinslancirs, both in poaco and war.
Iftpy conduct in these situations, and (hOoploioits
I have bee/l called upon to form and express, from
lime to thnfj in relation to all (he groat parly topics
of lhc : day, do, not furnish a clear exposition of my
views respecting (hem, and at the same thud a ajifii.
deni pledge of my faithful adherence to their precli.
oal application, wherever I may be required to act,
anything further I might now say, would bo. mere
delusion, uniVorihy of myself, and justly offensive
to the great party in whoso name you are now ucl.
ing. ' > ‘ § , ■
My Immediate predecessor in (ho nomination by
tho democratic parly, who has since; established so
many claims to the regard add confidence of his
country, when announcing, four years ago, his- ac
ceptance of a similar honor, announced also his do.
turminatlup not to bo a candidate for rc-clcpljon.—
Coinciding w|lh him in his views, eo well expressed,
and so fiilthfully,carried out, 1 beg leave to say, that
no circumstances can possibly arise, which would
induce me *ogaln to permit my nnme to be brought
iforyvard in connexion with* tho chief magistracy of
our country. My inclination and mjr sense of duty
equally dictate this course.
No parly, gentleman, had over higher motives for
exerlon, than has (ho great democratic,party of the
United Slates. With on abiding confidence in tho
{rectitude ofour principles, with nn unshaken reliance
tullons; and if wo should add to all this, an example
of mutual respect for, the motives of (ho contending
parties, so that the contest might bo carried on with
that firmness and energy which accompany deep
conviction, and with as little personal asperity as
political division* permit, wo should do more for the
groat Causo of human freedom throughout thb world,
than.,by any; tother tribute we ’could render to , its
value. • ’ . ' r
; Wo have a 1 government-founded by tho will of allj
responsible to tho poWCr of all, tfpd administered for
-the good of all. -,ThoVery first , articles in thb demo
cratic creed teaches that tho people are competent to
govern themselves; it is, indeed, rather an axion
than an article.ofrpDliUoaliaUli.. From the days of
Gen. Hamilton to our days, tho party opposed to us
—of whoso principles'be-was (ho great exponent, if
not tho founder—whilejt has changed its name, has
preserved essentially its indonlity of character; and
the doubt ho entertained and taught of the capacity
of man for self-government, has exerted a (barked
influence upon Its action and opinions. Here is the
veryp.iarting'pbint.ofjtjbo tho Iwb
great parlies which'divide’oiir ebubfry.' All’biker
differences' are but subordinate and auxiliary lb line,
and may, in fact, bd'resolvcd into it. 'Looking with
doubt upon tho issue of self-government, one party is
prone to think the public authority should be strength,
ehed, and to font any change, lest that change might
weaken the riecesiary force of the government? while
the blHpr|'etrohg,in its convictions of the intelligence
and virtuemf the people,.believes that original.power
is safer than delegated, and that tho solution of the
great problem of good government 'consists in.goy
erning , with the least force, and leaving individual
octioif as -free from restrains! as is- compatibie with
the preservation of tho social system, thereby secu
ring to each all Ihe’freeriom which,is not cssenlial.lo
the well-being of the whole.
As a party,; we ought not to mistake tho signs of
tho limes; but should hear in mind, that this is an’
age ofprogrcaar-of advancement in all the elements
of intellectual power, and in the opinions of the world.
’The general govermrtcnlshould assume no powers*
It should exercise none Winch have not been clearly
'granted by,tho paVtics td'theTe'deral compact. Wo
ought to construe the constitution strictly, according
to tho received arid sound, principles ofthe Jefferson
school. But wbile.rasl^experiments should be dep
recated, If (ho is stationary in its prin
ciples of betion, ahd refuses to ' accommodate its
measures,within its co'cslltutional sphere—cautiously
indeed, but wisely and cheerfully—l 6 the advancing
sentiments and necessities of the age,’ it will fin’d its
moral force the publio.will determined
to do what the public authority itself should-rcodily
do, when (he indications 6f popular sentement arc
blear and clearly expressed. - . .; ,
With great respect, gentlemen, I have’ tho honbi
to be your obedicnl scfvanl,

THE NOMINATIONS# •
- The Democratic-Convention which met at Balti
more on the 23d instant, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the coming; Presidential campaign,
have presented .the names of Gen. Lewis, Dnss, of
Michigan*.for-.thejOfficepfPresident, and Gen. W. O.
Butler, of* Kentucky* tor the office of Vice President.
The nominations having, been; regularly ond tylrly
made, it is now tho duty of every. Democrat jpdny
his personal.feeling and private preferences upon'thc
sacrificial altar of his country* and to devote himself,
heart and soul, lb (fie advuncemoht of the. great Re*
publican cause. -We must nil bow to the will ofthc
majority, and confide implicitly in its wisdom, and
judgment#
Acting upon this sentiment, we now raise to our
mast-head the banner of -tho party, and shall keep It
floating there, and .continue to fight under it, until
success crowns.our efforts, and-tho enemy are com
pletely discomfillcd. ; ’■ ;
Pennsylvania, fuilhru Vconslstcm, though much
abused PennßyJvanio,VwiJj,Bß‘Df old, rally her hardy
sons to the support of the Democratic ticket, and roll
up, at the end of (ho- campaign* a majority of 90*000
tor Cass and Butler.
ThoNlckfil which Is presented Is a strong one, and
will, without a!shodow of doubt,,bo elected. It has
gitfen general satisfaction, end will receive the entire
vote of the party.- It has struck terror and dismay
into the hearts of tho enemy; .With: this ticket we
can boat any candidate that,the Whigs can bring
into tho field. The result has been received by the
Democracy with the mosi enlhusiastiodenionstmtions
of applause, while the Whigs are loud in their abuse,
and coarse in thotr vituperations.
Gen. Lewis Cass has had a long public dafedr.—-
Delias occupied eminent etviV and military positions,
and in them all ho has exhibited fare tjualifientions,
which stamp greatness upon him, and fit him fot (he
high and responsible position of Chief Magistrate of
the Union, lie is a soldier and a statesmen. In the
war. of 1813, ha greatly distinguished himself by his
energy and galianlry<
: He was Governor of the North Western territory,
and while in that position ho discharged his arduous
with fidelity and .ability.- He. acquired the
confidence of the pioneers of thq West, and they and
their children will not forget Lewis Cass at.the polls!
. He was the friend of tho illustrious Jackson, ond
by him, was appointed minister to France, wherphis
diplomatic skill and learning were displayed to ad van
tage. In the arrangement of (i)uQuin(uplo treaty,
ho acauired deserved and lasting lame! ■ > ■
• In the Scnato of the United States, he flap occupied
a foremost and distinguished position. Jra mau ban
serve a term Jo (hot body of collective wisdom, and
maintain a prominent station, withoutbeing richly
entitled to ilfrom merit. ...
Gen. Cass, has .been.a .powerful, advocate of oil
Democratic measures in the Senate, and has consls.
tenly <: .boffiended the, cause of his country. , Ills
speeches on the Oregon question and the. Mexican
war are characterized by patriotic devotion to the
republic,.anfl.argumentative force. .
In private life ho ia exemplary and pure. Ho.is a
philanthropist of. the highest order. His lioitrs of*
leisure, instead, of being consumed in frivolous or
criminal pleasures, have.been occupied In useful avo
colions-rin writing popular pamphlets, and didactic
pieces for the youthful mind.. He is on ardent friend
of.the causq of temperance, without ; bringing to ils
support that bigotry and hillernops which so often,
disgrace (he apostles of modern reforms. Ho teaches
its precepts by example. , ,-j
Our sucoesfl is, inevitable.. WIUi Cast, Butler and
