SPIRIT OF THE DEMOCRACY.

Ut. llleIn anu IluUlcE w oOuiSt Tsstl. HC ~
gus says, that the Baltimore nomination was re-
ceiyed with enthusiasm, and resolutions were
adopted, appointing committee to prepare and
report resolutions TO an adjourned meeting to be
held on Saturday evening last.
| Ohio has welcomed the nominees with a cor
dial grasp, as will be seen from the following
announcement in the Columbus Statesmen:
"THE FIRES ARE LlGHTED.-We never
knew nomination for President and Vice Pre-.
sident received with moro satisfaction by the
| Democracy than those of Cass and Butler are,
BY all with whom we have conversed. The
fires Of IA are already burning, and all who
stand by the country and lis defenders, rally
with an enthusiasm we never before witnessed
SO early in q campaign-ior Cas-, Butler and
Weller.
"The skies are bright and no mistake"
The Democratic press Of Georgia, "a State
which has been claimed BY the Whigs) unan.
mously, as far as we have seen, sustain the
ticket, and with zeal and cordially which
will ensure success We annex an extract from
the Augusta Constituencies, as an indication
Of the spirit which animatcs our Southern
friends. That excellent States Rights journal
predicts the success of Cass and Butler in Geor
gia by at least 900 majority, and bases its cal.
culation upon forcble grounds:
"Tbe Democracy Of the Union in Convention
assembled, have presented to the country
| strong ticket The nominees arc strong in all
the elements Of intellectual qualifications, lofty
integrity, and sterling yirtue-strong in the ad.
miratioR of the people for their distinguished
public services, and strong in the confidence
that is felt in their sound Republicanism, and
strict adherence 10 the Constitutional guarantees
Of our Federal compact.
"The Baltimore nominations are now before
the people. They will be acquiesccd in cheer
fully by every Democrat in the country, and in
many CT the strongholds Of Democracy will be
hailed with reclamation and enthusiasm. Every
section Of the Union-eyery State had its spe.
cial preferences, and, therefore, it is not 10 be
expected that the news will be received every
where without the slightest feelings Of dsap.
pointment But where any disappointment, is
felt, il will he unmiDglci with bitterness, and
wholly from resentment In this respect the
Democratic party was never in more propi-
tious state of feeling for q political struggle.
General Cass and General Butler will receive
the cordial and earnest support OF every leading
Democrat in the country and Of their friends;
for their nominations have been fairly obtained,
by fair and legitimate means, after deliberate
and dispasslonate consultation OF the assembled
delegates Of The party among themselves, and
with the most ample means Of forming an en-
lightened and patriotic Judgment.
The ticket now presented lor The SURFACES Of
the people is a strong one. Il must SO be regard
ed BY our political opponents. Ii IS strong IN IT'S
| and thai consideration llCh
none know how 10 respect more thoroughly than
the Wings To the Wings il is formidable ar
ray Of learning, OF talents, of personal probity, OF
chiyarou. character, and Of distinguished public
services in The cabinet and in The field. To The
Democrats il is most cheering and soullnspir-
ing array for il gives assurance oil the triumph
of their cause and of their highly cherished prn.
ciples.
ITO Georgia, the nomination OF Gen, Cass
should be in high degree acceptable. He has
ever been 10 her a warm friend and Jealous
champion ~hca .cf especial rishl were il i.c'
pardy. His voice was always raised in her be.
halfduring her Indian difficulties with The federal
government and her rights were defended ana
maintained with slatesmanke ability and un-
compromising vigor when they were assaled SO
per.inaciou.lY and SO furiously by Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, and many other distinguished
Wings then in Congress-
Even in the Empire State we see bright
sign of adherence 10 the nomination by the
great mass Of the party. On Tuesday evening
meeting of the Democratic Republican Gene
raj Committee was held in New York. That
body has been regarded a. composed OF large
majority OF individuals Of the Barnournlns dl.
yision-yc, by a vote Of "a 10 II 1.-TWO thirds)
| 49, foIIow;p1 resolutions.
"Resoved, That we disapprove OF the action
of the Democratic National Convention in not
determining properly the question which was
submitted to it, growing out Of the unfortunate
divisions which have existed IN Tins Stale.
''Resolycd, That in sending DELEGATES 10 s9'd
Conrention, we recognize It's authority to de-
eide questions submitted to it, and are 0oHnc
consequsntlu, as good Democrats, to submit tc
the determination i'll has made, and to the course
of action which in its judgment was deemed
best.
"Resolyed, That we will cordially support
. the nomination of LEWIS CASS for President
|, and WILLIAM o. BUTLER for Vice Presi
, dent.
"Rcsolved, That buryng all discussions, 0c
, inrite all true Democrats uho lore the great
principles Of the purity, and 'oho adhere 10 Va
,sages and Nominations, TO meet in the Park OH
MONDAY, the 10Th day Of Juno next, at
O'Clock in the afternoon, to respond TO the no
limitations Of the illustrious hero and statesman,
LEWIS CASS, for the Office Of President Of
the Unled States, aud Of the gallant WILLIAM
O. BUTLER for Vice President"
Mr.. Maclay one OF the Herkmer delegation,
presided over the committee, though ne voted
AGAINST the resolutions. What gives force TO this
response 10 The Baltimore nominations, is The tacl
stated By the True Sun, that the meeting was
special one, called for the purpose OF arranging
meeting TO receive the report Of The Hcrkimer de-
eeales-ba the proposition TO lha. effect was
sienally defeated, and The patriotic reso uuots
quoted above were adopted by mos! decisive
vote. In view Of this gratifying result, the True
f Sun has snow no hesitation in predicting that The
Empire city will roll up in November next lbe
strongest, majority given for many years Tor the
Democratic nominees"
II is true. the Pos. and Globe, Barnburnng or
CANS, protes. againstthese proceedinss-and pub
lish with commentator an address Of the HeIk
inner delegates, who declare
nTbe nominations which have been made by
them (the Conyeption) are moi, therefore, nom
nations for New York; hey have been made by
body in which she was no! represented, with
our allowing her any voice in The deliberations
from which ihey have resulted, wilho1, her agen
cy. assen, or concurrence. The Democracy
. (Herkimer faction) of this State are therefore
thrown back upon Inc alternative OF either having
no regular candidates for these important public
trusts, or OF nominating for themselves through
their own legitimate State organization"
