wHIc RATIFIcATi6A MEETING
In Naandn

The Spectator contains spirited account ofthe
proceedings Of the Wing Ratification Meeting
in Staunton, last Monday week That paper
says:
ANDREW HUNTER, Esq, Of Jefferson;
Fand O. P. BALDwIS, Esq, of Richmond,
were the speakers. II we're vain, in our
limited space, to attempt to give even a
sketch Of the remarks Of these gentlemen.
Suffice it to say, that although Andrew
Hunter came among us hcralded by Ugh
reputation, and although 0lKsfP Baldwin
had already won fame in Augusta as bril-
liant speaker, Il sexpectations Of the pso-
pie were not disappointed. 1t was indeed
a feast Of argument, cogent reasoning, and
eloquent appeal to the patriotism and no
blest emotions Of our nature, interspersed
with rare humof and anccdote, such as we
have seldom listened TO- We are now
fully satisfied chat the Wings Of Augusta
mot to say word Of number Of the
honest hearted and patriotic of our oppo-
nents--will as one man give their cordial,
united and enthusiastic support to Taylor
and Fillmore.
Let the Wings elsewhere labor for the
cause.-the friends of Taylor and FillMore
in Augusta will do their duty.
On Monday night, q good ntany IF the
Wings of the County having remained in
toWnHith the hope of hearing further from
the speakers who had afforded them so
much qualification during the day, m i'm
promptu meeting assembled in the Court
house. The body Of the Courthouse was
again thronged With eager listeners and
the gallery filed with ladies' Mr. Hum
ter, greeted with long continued cheers, a.
gain appeared and addressed the people,
His reply to the inquiries Of the Augusta
Democrat Is to the present position Of
tho Wing party on the subject of the Bank,
Tariff and Distribution was overwhelming.
He showed that these were some Of Those
measures of domestic policy and expedi.
ency, with regard to which, Gen. Taylor,
il. elected President, viii permit the will
of the people, as expressed by Congt6ss, to
be carried out He demonstrated that
Gen. Taylor occupied on these subjects
the true Republican grodnd--la platform
Of solid principle, which no power or inge.
iiuity could assail Mr. Hunter also ably
indicated Mr.. Fillmore from the idle
charge OF Abolitionism--a charge mainly
sustained by the assettibuSof Henry A.
Wise, and which is contradicted BY our
own Elector, Mr. Stuart, as well as BY DIR.
Mallory, of Norfolk, and Dir. Crockett, "a
SON Of David Crockett, the editor Of the
New Orleans National I'll Of whom served
in Congress With Mr. Fillmore.
To show the value of Mr.. Wise's tGsti-
niony, Dir Hunter read sworn statement
made by Mr.. Wise before coniuiittee Of
Congress, concerning the misconduct and
mal-prsctices Of Lewis Cass whilst aSting
as Secretary of War, wen calculated to as
found and amaze the Democrats who we're
