THE RATIFICATION MEETING IXj
NEW YORK
The meeting at the Tabernacle in New j
York, on Friday evening, to ratify tho liom- |
illations of Fillmore and Donelson, was, ;
as stated on Saturday, large and spirited. .
The event of tho evening was the reeep- ,
tion of Mr. Donelson. The scene that '
I followed his introduction baffles descrip- i
tion. 'The audience rose instinctively to '
their feet, and seemed to lose all control!
over themselves in the enthusiasm of the'
moment. Cheer upon cheer rolled through
' the spacious hnll, and still cheer after
' cheer followed; hats and handkerchiefs
were waved, some leaped upon the backs of
j the benches, and some upon the ballus- j
trades of the gallery, and each one present
i strove to outdo his neighbor in extending
i the wannest possible welcome to the ciis
i tinguished nominee. To add to the general'
excitement, Dodworth's band struck up !
. Yankee Doodle, and played it though to a
chorus of cheer* that has rarely been equal- !
i led ever in the Tabernacle. We make the :
following extraots from Mr. Doifhetson's I '
address, which contain the pitli of his re
marks bearing upon the prominent qucs- ,
tious of tho day:
! THE OBJECTS OF THE AMERICAN I'ARTV. ]
j Ta restore harmony to the various see- i 1
| Mona of our Union—to brighten the links
j which bind us together as sovereign States,. i
;to purify the ballot box —to cut off the i
i dangers to which we are exposed by the em- J
! igrauts to our shores from foreign lands — i i
and to repudiate all the higher law influ- !
• ehees abroad and at borne whieh hkve con- | 1
j tributcd to ob.ieure the landmarks of our f
1 old revolutionary fathers—these, gentle- j I
j men. are the objects of tho American par- 1
- tv. These are the considbraHoite which !
J 4
BEDFORD. PA.. FRIDAY. MARCH 14,1856.
1 have brought us together, ho imtftef' "What ;
we may have been heretofore. And these j
i are the considerations which will -bind us i
tpgexber/until our Government is brought j
back to its original purity, apd truthful
ness is restored to tlie relations oi public
mm. and j'l.idic .„
I tvn AT" iREste\*T AhJiwTMfrw
UMt IIONE.
1 j Weliuvaseeu the present Administration
of the Government employ its patronage to ;
cement a part}' without reference to any le
gitimate standard of policy or principle.—
! Men who have preached secession and ,dis- ,
union have been given toe prominent offr
] ees apd have been made strong when it was i
inpst important that they should be weak.— j
Old fashioned men have been villified and j
I slandered merely because they adhered to 1
■ the maxims which governed our wise men in ;
! c
! the best days of our Republic. Yes, gen*
: tlcmeu, we have been proscribed through
' out this land tor daring to say that we
! maintained the doctrines inculcated by aur
! greatest statesmen. President Pierce pro
fessing to follow in the foctsteps of Jack
son, has placed himself in direct antago
! hism to the leading sentiments of that
I great man.
UMOM OF AI.L PARTIES FOR THE SAKE
OF* THE UNION.
As in time of war, when the foreign foe j
invades our soil, every true-hearted citizen
should rally to the flag of his country, so
; when doctrines pre put forward by party
j leaders which are calculated to render im
: iterative the checks and balances of the
.
Const'tut ion, every patriot should throw ofi .
I party sjiacklgs and do what he can to ren- ;
Jer. harmless suMi doctrines. It is on stick j
I grounds that we arc constituted an Ameri- j
i can party. Lot us be true to tbc spirit oi !
suck a party, aud let us forget that there !
were ever any difference between us as
Democrats or Whigs. Let our triumph he i
that of our country. measuring our claim
lo the public.confidence by no standard but i
that of honeHt devotion to the principles of i
our cause, which is no other than that of j
the Constitution and the Union. If we j
succeed, it will be mainly through the ex- i
ertions of the hardy and manly cueruies of
our young and middle aged men, who eve
carrying on the great enterprises necessary
to the development of our country, and who
cannot be tempted by o'd party watch
words from completing the reform which
they have commenced under tbc flag of the
stars and stripes, and in defence of the
sentiment which proclaims that Americans
ought to rule America.
THE country's interest superior TO {
THAT OF PfRTV.
It was in this city, in 1849, that 1 Cist j
learned to discriminate Letweou the mere ;
party man aud tbo patriot. It was here j
that Gen. Jackson, though the guest of the j
Tauimauy men, toasted De Witt Clinton,
who was then considered by that ancient j
and venerable society as not, orthodox on j
the subject of State,rights. Theold Hero,
of the Hermitage said that parties were ,
[ not always light, and that public men ought j
1 not to be rejected because they went be- j
votid the spirit of their party, in the sup
port of their country's interest*. This, j
gentlemen, is our doctrine. We have left j
the oM parties who were unable to tranquil- ;
izo the land, and stand out on a platform
1 national from beginning to end, ami Ameri- j
can in every feature of it.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The following were the resolutions read j
i
to the meeting by Mr. Brooks and adopted !
with nine hearty cheers:
Resolved, That heartily,—cheerfully, ,
unanimously, every one, and ali together, ,
we hereby confirm and ratify the nomina
tions made by the American party assetn- '
Lied in National Convention in Pbiladel- (
pliia, and we earnestly no commend them to ;
the support of the whole American peoplo. j
Resolved, That in Millard .Fillmore and j
Andrew Jackson Donelson, we, as Ameri
cans, have the best specimens of the old
Whig and Democratic parties—oho ice chips
from the old blocks—and, that we present
their names not only to Americans, but to j
Democrats and Whigs, as representatives
of the best men and best principles of their '
respective parties.
Resolved, That, in Millard Fillmore, we j
have the friend, the ooufidant, the associate ]
of a Clay and Webster, and the inheritor
of that, patriotism and love of countiv that i
ever inspired tliem in Ashland and Marsh
field; aud in Andrew Jackson Douelson, 1
the confidant, the pupil, the bosom com
panion of the illustrious soldier and states
man of the Hermitage.
"Our Country, Our Whole Couutry, aud
nothing but Our Country."
"One Constitution, One Dest ny." ■
"I know no South, no North, no Rust,:
nc West."
"The Federal Union,it must and shall j
be preserved." I
As '.hose were their maxim-, i'icir plat-j
forms, so they are ours, aud M J
help we will stand our candidates , upon,
them. '

| Democracy, be long since took farewell of j

j can. To those who would know of
| hint, we eounnend the following frank and
; manly definition of his position aruj prii.ct
! pies,as delivered before the American Mass j
Meeting in the New York Park, on the '■
evening of the 8111 of June last.
On Sewardibn—the uturalizatipn l.av'S— \
the of the Church of Rome,
(Tnd the Foreign Vole.
President Pierce and Mr. Seward have
formed their coalition in stieh away as to
secure the foreign vote, and to enlist the
Catholics a> partisans in that cause. To
counteract this coalition, the American party
proposes to modify the naturalization laws,
and to enter into political brotherhood with
no ecclesiastic or sectarian who professes to 1

To prove Miss Bunklkt's statement ;

circumstance which occurred on Big Pipe

and is reported to bo a Protestant in ro- j
ligious bolit f li;s wife, however, is n '
Roman Catholic. Mary, however, who is
the proper subject of this nan alive, is a i
. firm believer in the Protestant faith. She
• had been, at Mr. Rufnugiou's about two ■
weeks. On- of last week a lady came
there (did 1 say iady? I think not') driven '
by n gentlemen of dor and told her that
' Iter mother was at the point of death, and j
she wished l.er to go along immediately and ,
' take ali her clothes with her. When Mrs. ;
Buffiugtoa paid tlie girl, the stranger |
wanted the money to-put into her purse, but |
Maty perferred keeping hold of it liorsclf.
She Sii-lshe was from St. Mary's College,
i .
' and did not wish to be detained. Her 1
garb was of that sort which is worn by )
! many of the inhabitants of St. Joseph's,)
j which I have seen them wear frequently, j
: and which is net adopted by outsiders! So j
j that the clear presumption is, that she is an (
ipmate of that Institution. The family of ,
Mr. Buffington, however, though.t by the i
evasive answers, sl*e gave to their interrog
atories; and the appearance of hercounten-
I ance which had the appearance of one guilty
j of the blood of shuts, that s'f. was ail im- j

1 ioned herself herself—but s.s tlie ease i
i seemed to be so urgent, she considered it 1
j her dutv to go. Novr, this woman wa3 \
