Calkins, Pub's, No. 348 Broad way, N. Y. The' Ritifi.cation Meeting. Last week we gave a brief notice of the proceedings of the Know Nothing ratification meeting, which we learnednnoffieially ; and in doing so, we asserted that the meeting was principally composed of " theold wire-work ers and dictators of the defunct whig•party." The official proceedings as pi hltshed in the American, prove the truth of the assertion, at least so far as those who took -part in the meeting are concerned. Turn to tha t paper and you will find that . "the Council,was called to order by A. W. Benedict, Esq., the Presi dent." The Council then proceeded to nomi nate candidates for the various boro' offices, the ratification of the natioual nominations being a matter of minor importance. After the nominations were "duly declared," T. S. Barr, Esq.; offered a resolution endorsing the nominations. General John Williamson, he who, in . the K. N. National Convention, said that in "his district an abolitionist was not known from a spavined horse," defined his position in said Convention, and "urged the propriety of postponing action• upon the res olution." (He made no apology to the "spav ined horses," who were present.) Brother Isaac Fisher. and J. Sewell Stewart Esq., for the sake of harmony, we presume, also oppo sed•the ratification of the nominations. - D. Blair., Esq., addressed the meeting " taking strong grounds in favor of Mr. Fillmore, and of the importance of the meeting endorsing the nominations without delay." Mr. Stew art then presented a resolution resolving "that action on the resolution now beforethe meet ingbe postponed until after the . 12th of Jiitie next," which motion lie withdrew "in order to hear remarks from others, who wished to speak in favor of the former resolution." S. S. Wharton, Esq., then made " quite an exci ting speech" in favor of its adoption, being supported by Mr. Barr. Mr. Stewart .then renewed his resolution for postponement, which was voted down; and finally the reso lution endorsing the nominations of Fillmore and Donelson was, the report says, "unani mously adopted." • Here then we see that not a single Demo crat participated in the proceedings. It was led on by the chiefs of a once powerful party which they plundered and deserted. It was a Lawyer's meeiing—a sort of " argument court." It •was not an enthusiastic gathering of the people—the bone' and sinew of the land--the strength and pride of the Republic —hut one of old potitiCal,haCks whose minds are more absorbed in dreams of future politi cal preferment than in any truly honest de sire to labor politically for the interests of that people. If it was intended. to be a meet ing of the people, it was a pitiable abortion ; and if it was intended to reflect their senti ments,- it was a base attempt, which will meet with their scorn and indignation. K7A'Hardvrare Store will be opened one door west of the Globe office by the Messrs. Brown the .latter part of this or the begin ning- of next week. The Franciscan Brothers Two weeks ago we ventured to allude to the application . by the' Franciscan Brothers for an Act incorporating 'St. Francis' Acad emy;-accompanied by such :remarks as truth and justied dictated, We thought that', as other.-denominations Of e christians have ap_-, ,plied for and received ':eharters for various religious and - educati4nal institutions, the leg islature would not be " lending its aid to the aggradiz , ement of a particular sect" or sects, but simply abiding by and carrying out to the letter the Constitution which enjoins that "no preference shall ever be given by law, to any - religious establishment, or modes of worship,',? by, granting, said application . which was so ungraciously and insultingly refused. For this we are met with an irrelevant rho , domon tade in the last Journal about the "Jes uits," in which is contained, of course, all. the stereotyped railings, unfounded charges; and malignant inuendues which characterize the greater portion of the Know Nothing press. Some one has written that " a fool may utter more falsehoods in fifteen minutes than a wise man can answerin a whole lifetime."— But as to taking the time and room to reply to all the Journal's assertions, we cannot—we can find better employment. But by way of dismissing the'subject as far as the "Jesuits" are concerned, whoth the miter has unneces sarily, and. irreleontly dragged into the ques tion, we will say that we aro not entirely "a dishelieVer in . the facts of history," however a "consurnrriate booby" the editor may be lieve- us to he. We find that European'gov ernments have at times expelled them. But why ?- WhereVer rank Infidelity and Red Republicanism got the upper hand and reign ed supreme, their first efforts were directed to that end. And were the Jesuits now in Spain they would doubtless be expelled. The people are catholic but the government is Infidel. .But does it not savor - of ignorance for the editor of the Journal to confound the Jesuits with the Franciscan BrOthersl The former are an order of the Catholic Priesthood while the latter are Laymen, whose lives are con tineally- and energetically devoted to "a labor of Jove" for the world—against whom the charges of the Journal are totally inapplica ble. They are American citizens, and are en titled to all the rights and privileges which the Constitution -and Laws allow and can confer, and to withhold them is butreligious proscription and perseCuticni which the Jour nal professes to abhor. - They are charged with owing temporal al legiance-to a foreign sovereign. Irideed, the edin.pr seems anxious that they should owe such allegiance, or at-least he takes great pains to create that impression in the face of the fact that the idea has been repudiated_ and cohdemned by the highest catholic authority -in the United States-. Circumstances have within a year called out the Catholic prelates to express their views of the temporal power of the Pope. And among the pastoral:letters Which have been' issued were those of ille ArchbishopS of ,Baltimore, Cincinnati, NeW -Orleans and New York ; (and we7believe those :of the other - Atchbishops of the country) all of Whieli agree in denying to the Pope any temporal power in his own right beyond the limits of the Papal States. The .disavowal was strong by the Archbishop of New Or- I2.ans, but no stronger than that by theArcih bishops of Baltimore and Cincinnati, no stron_ ger than those made by Bishops to their res pective diocesses—lind, fully sustaining the assertion - of writers upon the subject ; as welt as those who openly:proclaimed the sentiment betorc these pastorals had appeared, and though it(a single instance the - opinions of a layman were consideredas.opposite, yet even those opinions have we suppose been.changed —it least the opinion' by which they were conveyed has been recalled.. There .. is but one view held by the catholic people upon the subject of Papal power, and that is-the opinionL that beyond his own dOminions the Pope has no - temporal power. Why even the Know-Nothings have acquitted them of the charge ; and why should the Journal -persist in it 1 We dismiss the subject. The : Liquor Question - The license bill which passed , the Senate, known . as BROWNE'S bill, ;was amended by the House; and, the Senate refusing to concur, committees of conference were appointed one week ago.

MORE JUNIATA. From the Albany Argus. The Attitude of Parties.

[Cis •to the principles of-the party, and still more to its attitede of stability and firmness amid the general disolution of factiopsa•that,zwe allude.

The two wings of the Whig party pick up a recusant Democrat, BANKS, and elect him to the Speaker's chair. The Pittsburg, Convention talks of FREMONT for the Presidency—on the ground that he is the soniriLlaw of BENTON. They hanker after a Democrat connectio,n, no matter how re mote. "'They implore Democrats to come among - them, to teach them Democracy—to teach edOtigh at least to . enable them to ca jole the - people by the pretence and simula tion of it.

The Democratic _party "still lives.",--- While the fragments of faction, broken-off from : the so-called Ameriean,party, (itself but a composite of discordant. parts,) and the sec tional gathering at Pittsburg; are waiting to .find a basis of coalition, and outstrip all oth .er. fanatigisms; by the intensity of their pro scriptive zeal, the Democracy will move on its regular course, proclaiming its steady adhesion to its doctrines, and exemplifying its creed by its acts. It will . triumph as it has always triumphed. But its triumph in the approaching. contest- will be more signal than ever before., There is no Middle Ground. • There is 'no - sounder or more ably conduc ted' democratic journal in the country than the Register, published at Nreiv • Havert, Con necticut.

Their success would be a disaster, probably irreparable. Their course indirectly calcula; ted to destroy all fraternal feeling between the North . and South, by a system of inter meddling-with the domestic affairs of the lat ter, in which they have no concern, and which they could not improve, if they had the power. .They are warring against the right of the people of the Territories to deter !nide their own institutions—a right which we in Connecticut claim for ourselves, and ought willingly,to concede to others. .They are stirring up stt ife : in the land, and di4sen 7 sious in communities, whose interests are-the same, and alike depending on the prosperity of the Union. • "The issue is too plain to be avoided.

THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAVORS.—The Philadelphia Times boastfully announces that fifteen papers in Pennsylvania have hoisted the names of Fillmore and Donelson. There are, we believe, over four hundred papers published in Pennsylvania. Affairs with England. The New York Journal pt-Commerce com ments sensibly upon the' relations • existing between the United Slates and' Great Britain. We copy thelannexOfrom 'that paper : • • , "The true-hearted people':Of the United' States _Fond of the-great nation from which they :sprung :and item ,which they derived the ,Spirit,of their finslitntions;--,and intent only - on a generous-.and 'noble =rivalry in industry and art with the mother country --whilst they have one tone for those who habitually represent us, cordially recipro cate the friendly sentiments uttered at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and en tertain a horror of war with England. which Ames, its existence,largely...,to _a. feeling.,. of respect and regard entertained towards no 'other nation. •'- „ --t "We speak 'advisedly when - we :saY fur ther, that 'the' present' cabinet; in presen ting its'idesire for the recall of Mr. Cramp ton and 'the :disriiisiiil " of certain 'consuls, has been governed: solely by the:2cletermi-' nation to make Buell ' - anekample of a pub lic and open violatienuf our own'laws and sovereignty' by 'a'-''foreign power, as will prevent 'its repetition' hereafter. The cor • respondence on this subject, of which the English press undertakes to speak 'when it declares that spologies sufficient to 'satisfy ten Empires have been. made, has 'not been published, and the press, therefore, is in debted chiefly 'to Lord Clarendon, 'who had before said 'that Mr. Cramptcrn-had neither intentionally nor unintentionally, nor acci dentally Violated our neutrality -act, for its impressions as to the Lltind - of - apology ac tually made.

NEW HAMPSHIRE COMING IZIGHT.—The Democracy have made a noble struggle, and covered themselves vrith..honori though we fear they have not quite succeeded in reset/. ing the government' of the State from the in competent hands that seized upon it in , the hue and cry of last year.

' A gain'of SEVEN OR EIGHT THOUSAND .votes', and the re duction of the ponderous fusion- majority in the lenislature to almost nothing,' are- suffi cient evidence of the respective energies of our party, and PROOF. that in November New Hampshire %via cast her vote for the . nomi nees of the Cincinnati Convention, and take her place-again.among the stars on the Union flag. , KEYSTONE .PACK.-BONE.—The following complimentary allusion to the-• Deinocracy of PennEylvania, we copy horn the Cincinnati : . _ SENTIMENTS OF.THE PENNSY4.YANI.n.

The Democra cy 'of no ,State have_placed .themselves , more unequivocally upon the record than those of Pennsylvania.
