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.

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,

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

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

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
