RATIFICATION MEETING,
On Saturday evening last, the Democracy of j
Carlisle and vicinity held a large and enthusi
astic meeting, to respond in suitable terms (o ,
the action of the Cincinnati Convention, in ,
nominating for the Presidency “Pennsylvania s
favorite sod," Hon. J.iMfth Bitiunan, and for t
the Vico Presidency, lion. *l. C. Bukcubn- ,
BIDGE, We had been called from
home on business, am! consequently were tin
able*-to attend the meeting, but learn from
friends who jvere present that every thing went
ofi “merry as a marriage bell,” and that the
utmost enthusiasm and good feeling prevailed.
Able and appropriate speeches were delivered
by W. 11. Miller and W. J. Subarf.u, Esqra.,
who were repeatedly cheered by the assembled 1
multUudc. The very mention of tbe names of
Buohanait and Brecebnridgb called forth
loud and repeated plaudits, and men of all par
ties who participated in the meeting, publicly
avowed their determination to support j.U»*
nominees of the Democratic party.
The market house was brilliantly illumina
ted, a bonfire was blazing in front of the Court
House, several spirit-stirring tunes were played.
and after thirty-one rounds had been fired in
honor of the difierent Slates, the meeting ad
journed at a seasonable hour. ,

W. Patton, which-will bo found in another
column. The Maj., having purchased thcabove
warned well-known Hotel, lias had it remodelled
tod repaired in such a manner that the build
ing may be said to bo entirely new. Those
who wish to escape for a season from the noise
and confusion, the heat and dust of summer
life in a great city, should make ilie Mount
Holly Springs Hotel their temporary home.—
Mr. Patton is a gentleman by nature and ed
ucation, a pleasant, agreeable and intelligent
companion, and is in every respect just such 4
man as the laW Intended should execute the
frfnctiona of a publican, “being of good repute
for honesty and temperance.” His Hotel is
situated in a beautiful and healthy section of
country, six miles south of Carlisle, at the
gorge in the Sooth Mountain, where the many
beautiful streams of water, the picturesque
mountain scenery. &C-. all combine to render it
a most pleasant summer resort. As 'seeing is
believing," we feel parsuaded that those who
call upon him oucc will not fail to patronize
him a second time.
Death op Major (Irk rial Fouijc.—t>o |
Saturday night last, Gen. Wilms I'Oulk, of- (
ter a protracted ami severe illness, departed i
this life in Carlisle, in the 08th year of Ins age. ,
Oeu. F., when a very young man, entered the i
army of the United Slates as a lieutenant, and ,
served his country with much distinction to
hunsclf during the whole period of the late war
jyilh Great Britain, and fur his gallant services
in that war had been promoted to a Captaincy.
At its close, ho retired to private life, and on
his ancestral estate commenced lltp peaceful
and honorable occupation of an agriculturalist.
His .fellow-citizens, however, speedily called
him from the plough io assume tho duties of
various offices, both military and civil, and as
Major, and Colonel of tho volunteers, Brigade
Inspector, Brigadier General and Major General
of the militia rendered universal satisfaction.—
Ho also served for some years as Clerk of the
diflertnt Courts of Cumberland county. Gen.
Fouut was a man of warm feelings, a good
husband, a kind parent, and u sincere friend,
but when Ro conceived his honor or good name
assailed, an open and determined foe.
On Sunday' evening lost his remains were
conveyed to the public burial ground, followed
by his, klndrctl and acquaintances, by the old
Carlisle Light Infantry under the command of
Cot. S. Chop, by a detachment of .U. S. Dra
goons from the Carlisle Barracks, commanded
by Col. CtIAS. A. Mas", and by an immense
concourse of citizens and strangers. Ilia ma
sonic brethren too, were out in full force, and
their sympathizing' deportment and beautiful
ceremony added much to the solemnity of the
occasion. Ills was truly a masons' and a sol
diers’burial, and "alter Ufa’s fitful fever he
sleeps we 11..”

By the proceedings of the Na

: per it *ili be scon that the great statesman of
: Pennsylvania, Jaws Boohasak, has received
the manimow nominalion-for Erosulent ottho.
United Stoles. The claims, of. our noble old
Connnoiuveallh have at lehgtli bWi..rscogniB«l
bv a Democratic National Convention, and for
the first time in the history of oar Slate, we
have,before us for the highest office in the gift
1 of the American people, a native son op
Pennsylvania. The recent strong and deci
ded expression In favor of the claims of Penn
sylvania to the next Presidency hftd -.the effect
of showing to our sister States that the- ■■ Key
stone Commonwealth was resolved tbbo’no
inoro the mere laborer at the oar of- tho politi
cal craft, but that she was determined, in jus
' ties to her fame, her influence, and her cherish
ed son, to assume her long-delayed position at
THU he LSI. So strong and so unbroken his
been this expression, and so irresistible ha\c
been the arguments by which it has been back
ed, that no one ventured to oppose, or even to
doubt, the correctness of the grounds OQ which
these claims were urged. IVc rejoice, then, as
a Pennsylvanian, to witness the warm and cn
thusiaslic responses of the States of this con
fedcracy to the just claims of the Keystone.—
U is a proof alike of the high esteem and re
gard in which our good old Stale is held, and
ft n evidence of the confidence which is reposed
in her "favorite son,” James HronAN.tN.—
i Thus, while a feeling of State Pride—a pride
1 arising from the political firmness, the mineral
wraith, the agricultural resources, the industry,
frugality and honesty of the People of Pcnnsyl
vnnia—a pride which cherishes the high char
acter and political and personal purity of her
native son. James Buchanan, qb a bright and
precious jewel in her storehouse of great men—
wh.lo this honest feeling of Slate Pride among
her own people, has established the claim of
Pennsylvania to a long-delayed eight, the De
mocracy of all other sections of the Union have
admitted and applauded the juslico of 'the
claim.
Mr. Buchanan' was born in Franklin coun
ty, Pennsylvania, on the Itylvof April, 1791,
and is therefore G 5 year's old. lie scivcd in the
Slate Legislature two years, in the House of
Congress ten years. Geu. JucUson sent him to
Russia as Minister in 1831, where he remained
Ifhree years- In 1834 lie was elected to the Uni
ted Slates Senate, and remained there eight
years, lie was Secretary Of State under Pres
ident Pollc, and Minister lo England under
President Pierce. Ho has filled, therefore,
nearly every civic station of distinction, the
post to which he has just been nominated be
ing the Inst and highest which the people of the
country have lo bestow upon him.

Stick a pin there, all who doubt our prediction.
Wo shall haveoccasion, frequcutly, hereafter,

Thu Town Cot We understand the |
town Council has resolved to straighten at ,
once that part of thcAYolnut Bottom Hoad ly
ing between Hanover and PUt streets. This is
one of the most important measures that has (
been before them for ft long time, and their
promptness in tho matter is highly creditable.
It is absolutely necessary to the improvement
of the whole southern part of tho town in which
lie some of the most handsome sites for private |
residences ill the Borough.
Had former Councils been blessed with equal
foresight we would not now be hamuwed about
extensions of strccls, ic., which though desira
ble in themselves, have been rendered almost if
not quite impossible by the enormous prospect
ive damage that would bu dunu valuable im
provements In tho way of such extensions.
Tho lax derived from improvement stimula
ted by the straightening of tins road, will in a
‘ few years mope than pay tho trilling expense
necessary. ’ __
