RATIFICATION MEETING.

A call is made in another column for meet
ing of the Democracy of Richmond a, the Ci'y
Hall, on Wednesday night, for the purpose oil Ia
tifying the nomination OF Cass and Butler y
hoped the Spartan Band will come forth IN all
their strength, and with all their energy give
a noble response 10 the nomination. Inc seiec'
tion of Cass and Butler as the candidates oil the
Democratic party has been received with Inc
greatest enthusiasm in every section-ano even
the Wings (kind souls) are free to admit II is
ticket "hard 10 beat" The Albany Argus, The
True Sun of New York, and other papers OF the
"Oh Hunker" school, have come out warmly IN
support of the ticket; and The "Barnburners, we
understand, LEFT Baltimore by no means disPleased
with the resuI Of their application for seals
We believe they will yet return 10 the Democrat
ic fold, and bury their divisions in spirit OF
harmony aud concession. Why should they not
vote for LEWIS CAss2 His opinions on all qnes.
tions have been open and decided-on the War,
on the subject OF a National Bank, OF the Sub
Treasury, ofthe Distribution OF the proceeds OF
the public lands, and Of Tarif-hey are all
known, and are sound 10 the cure. His opinion
relative TO slavery is also we'll known. lie is in
favor OF every State managing her reserved rights
in her own way, without interference from any
quarter. This is all that Southern men could
desire-and less than this our Northern friends
could not wish Us TO obtain. Then why should
not The "Barnburners" vote Tor VIM. 0. Butler
We tell them that Gen. B. is BarnJu,ner! anu
for proof Of our assertion we refer TO the record
During the last war with Eogland, General
Butler performed one of The noblest deeds OF he
roism on record. In one of the severest battles
with the British and Indians on the North West
ern frontier, a large number OF The savages had
found their way into BARN, from which they
poured deadly fire upon The American troops.
The American Commander said "that BARN
must be burnt" and inquired "who would volun-
teer TO perform the perilous task" After a
pause, the youthful Butler CALAMITY stepped ior
ward, and providing himself with torch, pro.
ceeded TO the barn amid shower Of bullets
from the rifles Of the Indians, and soon fired il
so completely as TO envelope it in flames, and
returned unframed TO the American lines, when
every spectator considered his death inevitable!
The firing OF that barn deprived the enemy OF
his strongest position, and soon gave the victory
10 the Americans. General Butler is therefore
the right sort of Barnburner-he burns the
barns occupied by his eounlry's enemies-and he
is in every other respect a man worthy of the
admiration and confidence Of his counuymsh
he .and his great associate on the Democratic
ticket are bound to be elected by an overwhelm-
ing vote!
