Accessions to Democracy.

/ f.
c meeting in MeadviIle, Crawford
county; and now we beg leave to call
attention to the following additional re.
made TO the same meeting.
We copy from the Crawford Democrat.
"Soon after this, DR.. G. A. Bardwell. |
of Crawford county. gave his political
and that Of his brother.--
They had been 'whigs,' though born Of
democratic; parents; but, in conse-
quence Of what they considered trea-
sonable conduct upon the part Of the
wings in sympathising with the Mexi
cans, they would vote with tina! party
no more forever, but would make glad
the heart of their old father, who looked
upon those who would meet our brave
troops with bloody hands, and welcome
them TO a hospitabe grave with the
same feelings Of Indignation that he did
those who considered it 'unbecoming
religious people to rejoice at our victo.
ries' in our former wars. The state
ments Of the Doctor were received a.
mid shouts of the most deafening ap-
plause.
"Another veteran whig Of Crawford
county sent word to the meeting thai.
he meant to leave the 'foul party, and
vote for Cass and Butler. And Mr..
Drnse, Of Meadville, who declared that
he had always acted with the federal
party, also declared that he should vote
with them no more; but would sustain
the friends Of their country-the demo-
cratic nominees"
From the Carlisle Volunteer itappears
that at the late ratification meeting, in
Carlisle, Cumberland county, two lead
ing wings came out for Cass and But
ler. The Volunteer says:
"The meeting was most ably address
ed by J. E. Bonham, ESQ.,, J. Dunlap
Adair, ESQ.,, Gen. Willis Foulke. The
two latter speakers, let it be remember
ed, were both active and Jealous Clay
wings in 1914. Mr.. Adair slumped
this county for Clay during the last
presidential contest--he was one of the
principal whig speakers during the
whole oftha, campaign. But he is now
for Cass out and out, and in his speech
at the meeting on Tuesday evening, he
said that he considered Lewis Cass one
of the greatest American statesmen Of
the age. He was for him, he said, from
| first to last; ard whether Gen. G.. was
elected or defeated, he (Mr. Adalr) was
still a Cass man.
isGeneral Foulke said he was person.
ally acquainted with Generals Cass,
Butler, Scott, and Taylor. That the
two latter were great soldiers, no one
would deny. But of the two former.
it could be said with equal truth. that
they were not only brave and gallant
soldiers, but great and enlightened
statesmen. Generals Scott and Tay.
| lor were military men, and nothing
more. They were well calculated for
the army, but disqualified to assume the
administration OF the government.--
He was for Cass; and he thought thai
every man with an American heart in
his bosom should be Cass man also,
General Cass, he said, was man ol
enlarged and statesmanlike views, a.
gainst whose moral character there
dared not be uttered whisper. O
Gen. Butler, it was unnecessary fol
him to say much. His history, and the
history Of the Butler family, is familiar
TO nearly every schoolboy. William
| O. Butler is now commander of the
American army in Mexico; and brav
; er or more competent man could no
have been selected for so important ;
post. He considered him one Of thu
, bravest of the brave, and man of We
,lly strong mind. He concluded by
, hoping to see Cass and Butler triumph
antly elected to the Offices Of Presiden
and Vice President ofthe United States
!, After Gen. F. had concluded his re
, marks, on his motion the meeting ad
iourned with three cheers for Cass ant
, Butler, which were given with q mos
i hearty good WILL"
