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.

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.

Northern :Vederalists and:: - Abolitionists
Pittsburg:electing - Fi4NCIST. BLAIR as their
head, because he has the scent of Jackson ism
in his garment—a retraction of all their abuse
and falsehood and malice heaped with such
profusion on the path and about the footsteps
of the Old Chief, and on the head of its edi
tor; nor of the adulation paid-to the name of
JA.cgiox, by the motley, convention at Phila
delphia, whenl_they pladed the.degenerate,
DONELSON second on their ticket. [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.

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

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.,

called at the cabinet . shop of S. Whisler, and
wanted a coffin for a-child by 10 o'clock, and
seemed in much of a hurry for it, as he said
the corpse was smelling rind he wanted -tc
put it away. The workmen told him that
he could not have it before 3, at which
he seemed disappointed, 'but finally - waited
for it. At the hour lie called to take it, when
the-workman,.Williarn,Wilson offered to go
to the house and open and close the coffin, as
is usual for the undertaker to do; which was
refused by the Irishman, saying he could - do
it himself. The child was accordingly buri
ed that evening, none but a very few Irish
persons attending its internent.
The circumstances becoming known, - and
being coupled with the former ill-treatinent
of the child by its parents; produced ranch ex
citement in the comniunity;'and on Wednes
day it-was resolved 'that the body - should be
exhumed and'examined. •It was done, and a
horrible siglitmet 'the view.• The:body gave
evidence that while alive Whad been subjec
ted to the most cruel treatment. 'lt 'could
plainly be seen that the child had been burn
ed with a hot iron, and beaten with heavy
sticks. All the toes on each foot had been
frozen. away. , The heels were is :a similar
coaditiOn. • In addition to this the liltle,crea
ttire had been starved. , .
The deceased . was a fair-skinned, sandy
haired little girl of eight or ten years; the
daughter, as they own, of Morris Neenan and
wife. It is rumored;and the facts. seem' to
be confirmed by' the Coroner's investigation,
that the child:was abused•and neglected du
ring ,the whiter, at any rate so Sed at-. to
cause the most severe freezing c i l! i tte extrem
ities and excruciating misery.
The Irishman ran away when the exami
nation'was resolved upon, but with his wife
was arrested and examined on Friday last.

THE PROSPECT NEW YORK.—The Al

encouraging language in• regard to the pros

"The evidences of good feeling and returi
ing harmony among the .democrats of • this
State are, of late evert;•here apparent to those
who have oceaaion to - watch the tone of pub
lic opinion. Old ,animosities •are wearing
out, and the conviction that duty and inter
est alike require union of effort against• the
common foe in the impending presidential
contest is fast taking possession of the minds
of the democratic masses."

Important from Central 'America
NEW YORK, March .15.—The New `lot k
"Herald's" Nicaraguan correspondent. states
that the ‘nroveriinient does not" irderid:tO seize
any of II; ocean steamers: . • That ,Company
having sufficient: properly" in the dotintry . to
Satisfyithe_Claims.of. thegoVernment,ti

proverrients, of cotirse, are confiscated to the
State; 'in fac - t,'the - AcCessOry . Traniit Corn
'pany is a thing'of yesterday. am also able
to state that Great Britain sent a Commission
er to. confer with the government of Nicara
gua upon the Central American question.—
The Commissioners representing this govern
merit and •the English government met aE
Greytown, and agreed pon'a basis of settle
ment that will-settle the question without re
'gard to the 'United States. The "Musquito
King is to be placed on the same footing a's
any other
_chief. Mutual good will and - a
recognition of this government are some of
the preliminaries: They were conveyed to
England by .the steamer that left here on the
4th inst., arid will no doubt be accepted by
Great Britian.
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. When we remem
ber that there was an oppositin. over TEN
THOUSAND to be overcome in the popular vote
and one hundred and fifty , majority in the
popular branch of the legislatme, we aresur
ptisecl at the splendid' achievements of 'the
,Democrats, - rather than chagrined that they
ha . ve not won a complete victory. ' 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. DEMO
CRACY.— We like, the bold and staunch,man
ner in which the Pennsylvania • Democracy
met the political issues of the day. They
march up
_to them without reservation
or hesitation. Gloriously they emblazon their
.standard in letters of light, whickcan be read
and,understood by all men. The Democra
cy 'of no ,State have_placed .themselves , more
unequivocally upon the record than those of
Pennsylvania. No State has more unequivo
cally. indorsed the Nebraska-Kansas bill than
have our Pennsylvania friends. , This,. how=
ever, was not unexpected, for she has always
been pre- o eminently a.' national 'Common
wealth, havin g little or •no sympathy with
the Abolition fanatics of the North in their
Warfare upon: the Federal Constitution.
