Democratic fleeting A large and enthusiastic meeting of the de mocracy of the county was hell at the Court House, in this borough, on Tuesday evening of which Capt. B. McDerniitt, -who was a brave and heroic soldier in the Mexican war, was President, assisted by a number of Vice Presi dents and Secretaries. The meeting was ably addressed by Samuel C. Wingard, Esq., who entered into a complete history of the merits of the Whig and democratic candidates, and while he passed the highest encomiums upon the civil and military services of Gen. Tierce, and his well known statesmanship, said that he desired not to detract an iota from the fame of Gen Scott as ahero ; but, as Gen. Tierce is the nomi nee of the democratic party and would adminis ter the government on democrat:.; principles' principles that are necessary for our welfare as ii people and progress as a nation, he was for Tierce, and through him for the Union of the States and the rights of the States. Mr. V,'. was frequently applauded during the course of his remarks. Cyrus L. Pershing, Esq., of Johnstown, was called upon and responded in a speech of beau ty, power and eloquence. He examined tbe principles which the Whig party had always professed and showed that they have abandoned their former doctrines. He spoke of the civil qualifications, of Gen. Scott, and argued that as Scott had signally failed in every civil affair that he had taken part in, that he was not the man to guide the fortunes of the Republic ; and at the same time, Mr. Fershing was prepared to render full praise to him as a military leader. He spoke of the frank and dignified deportment the modest and unassuming character of Frank. Tierce his abilities, his talents, his pri vate and public worth and was ready to act for his success from this until the cheers of the people announced his triumph at the polls in November next. When he concluded the ap plause was deafening and struck terror into the hearts of the enemy. Gen. Jos. McDonald then addressed the meet ing in a forcible, excellent and appropriate speech, saying it was his determination to sup. port the nomination of Gen. Tierce until victory perched upon the Democratic banner. lie paid an eloquent tribute to the radical democracy, pure character, patriotic and statesmanlike qual ifications of Franklin Pierce, and to the distin guished services of Hon. "Win. It. King, the man who has been longer in public life than any man now living. He hoped that every Democrat would rally to the banner of the party and in defence of its time honored principles to redeem the country from Whig rule, Galphinism and ex travagance. He was rapturously applauded. What a contrast did the speeches of the above named gentlemen present to those delivered in the Whig meeting of Monday night. The Whigs high in abuse and vilification of the Democratic nominee, throwing out the imputation of cow ardice and fear against Frank. Pierce and de scending to low vulgarities. O, shame where is thy blush ! At the Democratic meeting the speakers conceded to irinfield Scott a just an honorable praise for his services, and would ne ver stoop to personalties to pluck a laurel from his brow. They were against him on principle and would continue so to be. The proceedings of the meeting will be published this week if there is room, if not, next week. The commit tee on resolutions consisting of Dr. Win. A Smith, Gen. Jos. McDonald, Geo. Tutledge, Daniel Murray and Gen. Jno. 7umpbreys, re ported a scries of resolutions which were unan imously adopted. The meeting adjourned with nino cheers for Pikkce and King. Appointment ly the Governor. James Carroll, of this county, to bo aid-decamp to his Excellency, Gov. Biglcr, with the rmk of Lieut. Colonel. The honor could not have been conferred upon a better man. Mr. Carroll is a hard working, persevering democrat, and excellent citizen. Tho Governor is fortunate in Lis appointment, and whether the serices of the gallant colonel will be require! upon the field of battle, or in tLe political waifare at home, he will always bo found with his face to the fue r.repaxei to do Lis whole duty in the struggle. IVuls Meeting. The Whigs held a meeting in the diamond on Monday night. Mr. Peter Kaylor, jr. who pro ved himself to be a brave and fearless soldier in the Mexican war, presided. It did look a a little strange to see a young soldier presiding over a meeting, composed of men of that party a distinguished member of which was ready to have welcomed the soldier with "bloody hands" to "a hospitable grave," while", he was battling in defence of his country's honor, not in an "un natural, unjust and unholy war" as the Whigs termed it, but in a righteous, honorable and un avoidable contest as the democracy proclaimed it to be. John Williamson, Esq., of Huntingdon first addressed the meeting and said considerable about Chippewa, Scott, Vera Cruz, the Ameri can Flag, &c, but nothing about the principles of his party. He stated that at the battle of Contreras, Gen. Scott was cheered by the 2nd, Tenna., regiment, which had been engaged in the fight, and that Scott said, "Do not cheer me boys, cheer the States." This is evidently a mis take, for the Tenna., regiment was not in that engagement, but were three miles off at San Augustine. So much for the gentleman's knowl edge of the events of the war. lie was speak, ing to a crowd many of whom had been to see the elephant, while others had read a few about the war but he did not seem to be aware of the fact. Mr. Webster of Maryland followed and was about as well posted up in reguard to the Mexi can War as his predecessor. lie said Gen. Scott drove Santa Anna and his wooden leg out of Ve ra Cruz. If we remember aright, at the time Vera Cruz was taken old cork leg was en route from Buena Vista towards Cerro Gordo, and there it was that Scott first met him. Michael Dan Magehan next spoke in tones as loud as the thunder, and sail that the holy principles (?) of the Whig party had been de livered to them from holy lips, a matter that we would refer to some debating society for further consideration. The meeting) dragged through-, out, and the entire proceedings were dull and heavy. A song was attempted, but the effort was feeble and sickly, and the meeting adjourn ed. Three cheers for Scott and Grimes ! The Whigs held another meeting on Tuesday night, at which near a dozen speeches were de. livered. The "military campaign"' has fairly commenced, and tLe music of the fife and drum is mightly heard at the Whig assemblys. Go ahead, gentlemen, and give the fifers and drum mers a little "aid and comfort" now, a slight re quc t your party wished to deny them in time of war. SO SOOX TO BE FORCOTTEX ! The Pittsburg Chronicle, of June 80, referring to the coldness manifested in that Whig city when the news of the death of 7enry Clay was received says : "In every city where the news of 7enry Clay's death has been received, with the exception o Pittsburgh, some public manifestation of sor row, such as tolling of bells, su-pcnsion of busi ness, &c, has occurred. The news had not reached the Arsenal yesterday, or if it did, no public notice was taken of the event. Not a bell tolled here in response to the general grief. We understand that some few of our manufac turers and business men intend remaining clo sed to-day." Such conduct is indeed outrageous on the part of those who professed so much honor for the great man while living. Can it be true that he is so soon to be forgotten by his own party the party that now could boast of no existence had it not been for his efforts in its behalf. And the 7ollidaysburg Standard, thus speaks for that section : "The news of the death of the distinguished statesman, 7enry Clay, was received by the H'higs of this pdace with cool indifference, al though they, perhaps, surpassed the THiigs of any other section in worshipping him in 18 14. Not a bell was tolled, not a tear of sympathy was shed for the nation's loss not even a mee ting was held, or an eulogy pronounced. We see plainly how it is in paying homage to the living General, the dead statesman is forgotten; and it is likely that if any honors are paid to the memory of the distinguished dead, theDem ocrats will have to move in the matter." B2,The whig county convention met at the Court 7ouse on Tuesday, and nominated the following iieket : Legislature Daniel Litzinger. Sheriff Alexander M'Vicker. Commissioner Solomon Oastcr. Auditor E. 77ughes. Coroner Dr. D. W. Lewis. Messrs. R. B. Gageby, Wm. 77. Gardner and A. M. IThite were appointed Congressional con ferees and not instructed. The ticket nomina ted is not such an one as to rally to its support the entire whig party of the county, and will suffer a heavy defeat in October next. Jfc-rjT'Our thanks are tendered D. A. Magehan Esq., of San Francisco, California, for late pa pers. We notice that Lieut. Chas. McDerniitt, formerly of this town, has been elected Sheriff of Syskiyou county, in that state. It is gratify ing to be advised of his advance in the golden country, fur the reason that his worth as a man and his true devotion to the democratic rarty, entitle hiia to the highest regard. SgTOn the outside of this week's paper will be found the full proceedings of the late county convention. We but state, that the secretaries of the convention handed to us nothing but the names of delegates, the ballots, and the resolu tions ; the report of proceedings otherwise is our own, made up as accurate as our obscrva tion would allow. Tor any errors or omissions the fault is with us. Ed-Tlio "Valley Wreath" Las teen transfor me J iLto the "Cambrian," and is now under the control of J. M. Swank, Esq.

A meeting of the Democratic citizens of Ebens- burg and vicinity, was held at the Court House on Saturday evening, 3d July, 1352, when, on motion Hon. P. Noon was chosen temporary chair man : iU. llasson ana Wni. A. Smith. Esa rs.. Vice Presidents, and Geo. C. K. Zahm and James M'Dermit, Secretaries. On motion Dr. W. A. Smith stated the object of the meeting, which had convened for the purpose of organizing a 'Tierce Club ;" and also gave an outline of the civil and military services of Gen. Pierce and a history of the lead ing events in the life of Hon. Wm. R. King. A committee of five, consisting of John Brawlej'' J. C. O'Neill, Rees J. Lloyd, John A. Blair and John Dougherty, was appointed to report per manent officers for the Club. In the absence of the committee Hon. John S. Rhey of Armstrong county, being called upon, made an excellent speech, in which he took oc casion to speak highly of Gen. Scott as a mili tary leader, but as he was determined to fight the battle upon Trinciple he Avas, as he hoped he ever would be, in favor of the Democratic nominees and the platform of the Democratic party. His remarks were listened to attentively and received with great enthusiasm by the au dience. The chairman of the committee reported the following names as permanent officers of the "Tierce Club." President, M. Ilasson, -p, -'i-; Vice Presidents, Hon. P. Nooa, Hon. II. Kin kead . Stephen Lloyd ; M. M. O'Neill, James McDermit ; Arthur Noble ; Daniel C. Zahm, Edward J. Mills ; Secretaries, S. C. Wingard, John Lloyd, Daniel Murray aud W. S. Harr ; Treasurer, Henry A. McMuIlen. Messrs. Wm. A. Smith. James McDermit and A. J. Rhey, were appointed a conimitte to draft i a constitution and by-laws for the club. After j a song and three cheers for Tierce and King, the meeting adjourned to meet on Thursday night next (this evening) at the Court House. Funeral of Henry Clay, " Washington, July 1. The funeral of Henry Clay took place to-day. A gloom overhung the city. Many houses, in cluding the public buildings, were festooned with badges of mourning. The bells were tol led, the flags were at half mast, and minute guns were fired at 12 o'clock. The procession moved from the National Hotel. It was headed by the military companies ; then came the Ma rine Land, followed by the Committee of Ar rangements. The funeral car was a beautiful work of art ; the car drawn by six white hor ses, each attended by a groom, clothed in white. The Senators and members of the House follow ed, attended by their officers. Gen. Scott and tbe officers of the Army and Navy were in the line, in full uniform. Next came the Mayor and the City Councils of Baltimore, and 24 citi zens who were appointed by the town meeting, and the Mayors f.nd City Councils of Washing ton, Alexandria and Georgetown. At 20 minutes past 12, the President and members of the Cabinet entered the Senate Chamber. A large number of the Diplomatic corps were also in attendance. A few minutes after the procession arrived and entered the Chamber, preceded by tbe Senate and committee of arrangements, and the committee to escort the corpse to Kentucky. The corpse was enca sed in a patent mctalic coffin, shrouded in crape; the coffin had silver handles and mountings. Over the face upon the coffin was a massive sil ver plate bearing the simple inscription of "Hen ry Clay." The utmost silence prevailed. The proces sion having entered the Chamber, and all being in the places assigned them, the Rev. C. M. But ler, Chaplain to the Senate, read the 15th chap ter of 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, commen. ting at the 31st verse. This being concluded, he delivered an appropriate sermon. After the funeral services were concluded, with the pray ers prescribed by the service, the silver plate covering the face of the corps was removed, and all present drew near, and, amid the most impressive silence, took a last view of the fea tures of the great and illustrious dead. This over, the corpse was removed to the rotunda, and the Senate adjourned. The capacious .ro tunda was altogether insufficient to contain the vast multitude, and the porticos and public grounds were occupied by those anxious to get into it, and have a last opportunity to see all that remained of Henry Clay. The U. S. Mar shal and his aids were present, and, afer con siderable confusion and much trouble, induced the crowd to approach the coffin and fib off in order. After having been exposed to tie pub lic gaze for some time, the corpse was placed in the cars awaiting for the purpose, and con veyed to Baltimore. The Coffin of Mr. Clay, We learn from the New York Sun, that W. M. Raymond & Co., of Broadway, in anticipation of the event, had prepared one of Fiske's metal lic burial cases, which was ordered on to Wash ington immediately after the decease. The in terior is beautifully cushioned with white satin. Upon the outside an ample covering of the fin est black broadcloth is thrown, gathered in a festoon at the breast-plate, and falling on either side like a heavy cloth cloak, where rich silk fringe gracefully, gathers it iu folds, there are also on each side twelve tassals of similar mate rial, and three handles of solid silver, beautiful ly wrought. The whole case is surmounted by three massive silver plates, cf different design ; that resting on the face, (underneath of which is an oval shaped plate of glass) contains an oak leaf and acorn, surrounded by a laurel-wreath : the inscription plate, plain and smooth in the centre, has an elaborate mouldicg around it, into which is sunk the impressive oak-leaf and ucoru the acorn has fallen out of its shell, and the leaf is withered ; the foot plate represents a large rose in full bloom, just parted from the stem whence it lias been gnawed by a caterpil lar. Tho case is enclosed in a highly polished mahogany box, lined with silk velvet, and hav ing three handles of brass ou each side, project tin tr from sunken sockets. Gen. Scott's Xat 1 ve-lsm. Gen. Scott inl841 was weak enough to believe' that the doctrines af NATIVISM would control the doctrines of this country and, resting un der this impression, he wrote the following let ter, in which he advocates the REPEAL of all laws on the subject of NATURALIZATION, thu3 refusing to all FOREIGNERS a home in this land of liberty and Equal Rights. Here is his letter. READ IT. Washington, Nov. 10, 1841. Dear Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of the 8th inst., written as you are pleased to add, in behalf of several hundred Native American republicans of Thiladelphia. Not confidentially, but not for publication, I have already replied to a letter from David M. Stone, Esq., of your city, on the same subject. I will write to you in like manner and in haste. This is the month when the pressure of official business is the heaviest with me leaving scarce ly time for sleep or exercise. I must not wholly neglect your communication. Should any considerable number of my fellow countrymen assign me, or desire to give me a ptroniinent position before the public, I shall take time to methodize my views on the great ques tions you have proposed. Those views have their origin in the stormy elections of the Spring of 1833, and were confirmed in the week that the Harrison electors were chosen in New York. On both occasions I was in that city, and heard i m iiiu eiretis, "jjown vrim tne natives, it was 1, , - . , uearu in tuniosi every group oi joretgners, as me signal for rallying and outrage. Fired with indignation, two friends sat down with me in my parlor at the Astor House (No vember, 1810) to draw up an address, designed to rally an American party. The day after the election, I set out for the South, and have ne- Ter nown precisely why our appeal was not Published. Probably the election of Gen. Har. nson rcndcred its publication at that time un- necessary in the opinion of my two friends I now hesitate between extending the period of residence before naturalization, and a total repeal of all acts of congress on the subject my mind inclines to the latter. Concurring fully in the principles of the Thi ladelphia movement, I should prefer assuming the name of American Republicans, as in New York, or Democratic Americans, as I would res pectfully suggest. Brought up in the principles of the Revolution, of Jefferson, Madison, &c, under whom, in youth, I commenced life, I have always been called, I have ever professed my self a Republican, or Whig, which with me was the same thing. Democratic Atnericans would include all good native ciiiz-ms, devoted to our country and institutions ; would not drive from us naturalized citizens, who, by long residence, have become identified with us in feeling and interest. I am happy to see by the Thiladelphia Nation al American that religion is to be excluded a3 a party element. Staunch Protestant as I am, both by birth and conviction, I shall never con sent to a party or State religion. Religion is too sacred to be mingled up with either. It should always be kept between each individual and his God, except in the way of reason and gentle persuasion ; as in families, churches and other occasions of voluntary attendance (after years of discretion) or reciprocal consent. Wishing success to the great tcork which you and other patriots have set on foot, I remain with high respect, your fellow citizen, WINFIELD SCOTT. To George Washington Reed, and others, Thi ladelphia. Ten years having expired since Gen. Scott penned the above letter, and finding but a piti ful faction supporting his odious doctrine, he writes a second epistle on this subject, embra cing views directly the opposite of the above ! Here it is : Washington, March 11, 1852. Gentlemen : I have received your note invi ting me to join you, at Thiladelphia, in the cel ebration of the approaching St. Tatrick's Day an honor which, I regret, tha press of busi ness obliges me to decline. You do me but justice in supposing me to feel a lively interest in Ireland and her sons. Per haps no man certainly no American owes so much to the valor and blood of Irishmen as my self. Many of them marched and fought un der my command in the war of 1812-15, and many more thousands in the recent war with Mexico not one of whom was ever known to turn his back upon the enemy or a friend. I salute you, gentlemen, with my cordial res pects, WINFIELD SCOTT. To Robert Tyler, Esq., and others, Commit tee. To obtain the votes of Irishmen,' Gen. Scott now writes the above letter, and not because he thinks any thing more of them than he did when he wished to expel them from our soil ! WThy did he not thus speak of the noble-hearted and patriotic Irishmen, who fought in the war 1812 15, who never turned their back upon the ene my or a friend, in 1841, instead of "fully con curring in the principles" of the cut-throat Na- Americans who were then waging a war of ex termination against ALL Foreigners ? Why did'nt Scott appeal to these mad fanatics to de sist, instead of encouraging their bloody "move raent" which led to the murder of Irishmen and Germans ! Why did'nt he THEN point them to the noble deeds performed by Irishmen on the battle fields of 1812-15 ? Freemen Irishmen Germans Democrats ponder well upon these facts and let your mouths give utterance to tho sentiments of your hearts ! Preparations to receive Sir. Clay's Itc- inainti. New Youk, July 3 The remains of Mr. Clay reached Jersey City shortly before 2 o'clock. An immense crowd is now awaiting their arrival here upon the Batte ry. The city is marked with universal gloom, all business being suspended. At various points along the route throngh New Jersey, the cortege received every mark of respect and sympathy, large crowds having as sembled at Trenton, Newark, Elizabeth town, Prince, ton,- kc , as the train passed. Letter from Franklin Pierce. Washington, June 24. The Union publishes the following letter from cratic nomination for the Presidency : Gentlemen I have the honor to acknowledge your personal kindness in presenting me this day your letter officially informing me of my nominatioi by the Democratic National Conven tion, as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. The surprise with which I received the intel ligence of my nomination was not unmingled with painful solicitude, and yet it is proper for me to say that the manuer in which it was con ferred was peculiarly gratifying. The Delegation from New Hampshire, with all the glow of state pride, and with all the warmth of personal regard, would not have sub mitted my name under circumstances other than those which occurred. I shall always cherish with pride and gratitude the recollection of the fact that the voice which first pronounced alone came from the mother of states a pride and gratitude rising above any consequences that can betide me personally. May I not regard it as a fact pointing" to the overthrow of sectional jealousies, and looking to the permanent life and vigor of the Union, cemented by the blood of those who have pas sed to their reward ; a Union wonderful in its formation, boundless in its hopes, amazing in its destiny. I accept the nomination, relying upon abiding devotion to the interests, honor ari l glery of the whole country, but, above all, upon a power su perior to all human might ; a power which, from the first gun of the revolution, iu every crisis through which we passed, iu every hour of ac knowledged peril, when the dark clouds have shut down around us, has interposed as if to baffle human wisdem, outmarch human forecaste, and bring out of darkness the rainbow of prom ise. Weak myself, but in faith and hope I repose my security. " j I accept the nomination upon the platform a dopted by the Convention, not because this is expected of me as a candidate, but because the principles it embraces command the appropria tion of my judgment, and with them I believe I can safely say there has been no word nor act of my life in conflict. I have only to ten Ic-r my grateful acknowl edgment to you, gentlemen, to the Convention of which you were members, and to the people of our common country. I am, with the highest reaped, Your most obedient servant, FRANK. TIERCE. To Hon. J. S. Barbour, J. Thompson, Alpheus Felch, Tierre Soule. The Eulogies The Private Manuscripts of the Lamented Henry Clay lie port Contradicted, &,c. Washington, June 30. It is conceded that Mr. Breckenridge, of Ken tucky, made the most eloquent and beautiful speech which was made in Congress to-day, up on the announcement of Mr. Clay's death. Nearly every one present was deeply affected. It is, perhaps, not generally known, that Mr Clay, upon his retirement from the State De partment, at the close of John Quincy Adams' Administration confided to Gen. Jessup all the original manuscripts and rough drafts which he had written whilst Secretary of State. These were to be used after his death injustice to his memory, in case the calumnies should be reviv ed, that although he spoke well he could not write. The manuscripts are very voluminous, filling a large trunk and a box. Their publica tion will be looked for with great interest. General Jessup was Mr. Clay's second in his duel with Randolph, and although politically op posed to each other, the warmest personal friend ship always existed between them. The statement which I see has been sent North, that Mr. Clay held a conversation with some friends shortly previous to his death upon the political affairs of the country, is contradic ted by a gentleman having amp'e means of be ing well informed on the subject. For many weeks he ceased to converse upon political matters altogether. Mr. Clay's sou has presented the Rev. Dr. Butler with a silver cup, as an acknowledge ment for his attention to his father during his long illness. The Arrangements for the Funeral. Washington, June 30, P. M. A few minutes after the adjournment of th Senate, the Committee of Arrangements appoin ted to attend to the funeral obsequies of the ill ustrious deceased met. Thus far they have agreed upon the following order of proceedings : The Committee of Arrangements, Pall Bear ers and Mourners, will attend at the National Hotel, to-morrow morning, at 11 o'clock. At half-past 11 o'clock, the members of the two HosT-ies of Congress will assemble at the same place, at which time the corpse will be re moved in charge of the Committee of Arrange ments, attended by the officers and members of the two Houses, to the Senate Chamber, where divine service will be performed. At the conclusion of the service, the corpse will be placed iu the Rotunda of the Capitol, where it will remain until half past 3 o'clock, when they will be removed in charge of the Com mittee of Arrangements and pall bearers, to the Railroad depot, where they will be confided to the Committee appointed to accompany them to Kentucky, viz : Messrs.

Dr. Butle-r, of whose church Mr. Clav was a communicant will read the Episcopal Ser vice and preach the funeral sermon. The marks of mourning in this city are uni versal without the slightest distinction of par ty all seemingly striving to do the most hom age to departed greatness. Nearly every buil ding along the extent of Pennsylvania Avenue is tastefully festooned with the sad emblems of Mourning. The eulogies pronounced, in Congress to-day, occupied fully two hours, and were all of a high order of merit, and uttered from the heart with the deepest emotion. That by Mr. Breckenridge is spoken of by all as of uncommon eloquence and beauty. Mr. Meagher. A day cr two ago, T. F. Meagher, in compa ny with Commodore Daniels, of Baltimore, and his friend P. J. Smyth, visited the Navy Yard, and went on board the American ship-of-war Independence, lying out in the stream. He was received very courteously by Commodore Mor gan, who showed him all through the ship, en tertained him at lunch, and offered him the usa of one of his boats at any time he wanted it Mr. Meagher being introduced to the officers one of them, on hearing the name, said he thought he met him in company with a Mr. j , uutau xia AO" y. .'11. Meagher said it was impossible ; but on some explanation, it turned out to be his brother. The officer then passed a high eulogy on that gentleman, and said he would never forget his attention and devotion to a brother officer. Lt Bayard, of Philadelphia, who had been scorched by the burning lava in an eruption from Vesu vius, and had died from the effects. Young Meagher attended his bed-side, on board of the ship, for five days and nights, without undress ing or going to bed, till .he poor fellow died. So much did the officers admire his conduct that his name became a household word on board, and therefore, not only on his own account but his brother's, Mr. Meagher was a welcome guest on board the Independence. lie met among the officers one or two college mates, who were de lighted to see him. In fact, all were rejoiced to make the acquaintance. AVu? York Herald. Gen. Scott for a 17. S. Bank. On the 25th of October, 1841, Gen. Scott wrote an elaborate letter, defining his position. among other points, which arc rnarshabVJ off with a kind of military regularity, his measures representing so many platoons is the folio vr:ug bit of old fashioned United States Bankism, which w ill be exceedingly refreshing iu this late day of experience- We give the Whigs joy over their man, with his splendid projects for estab lishing the old Regime, Banks, Distribution, the Bankrupt Bill, Protective Tariffs, and a gorgeous system of Internal Improvements ; all the vital organs of Federalism of the ancient days.
