The Young Mems WING Ratification Convention Of
last evening, was q most magnificent demonstration
and not single circumstance occurred to mar the
harmony Of the occasion The large area of Indepen-
dendence square hronged in all its parts and the
speeches delivered were Of cast to enkndle spirit
Generalization, union, and harmony. The officers who
presided at the meeting and most ofthe speakers were
those who had been friends Of the other candi
dates, and they generally protested determin alton
to enter the contest with energetic endeavor
Their the election Of the ticket nominated. The
mittee Of deserve great praise for the
manner In which they performed their duty
The meeting, or rather the remnants that still lin

magnificent display Of fire works. prepared in great
hurry by Jackson our pyrotechnst In the centre OF
n brilliant star appeared the names of Taylor aud
Fillmore, encircled by various colored fires 1t was
that our young wings deter mined to make the
demonstration one Of unsurpassed magnifcencs. Had
the ratification been delayed until to- night at
first intended, their arrangements. would have been
better perfected bdt the crowd would not have been
so great, as large proportion of the strangers would
have left the city for their several homes.
The streets Of city gradually thinning Of the
surplus population attracted hither by the convention

General PHior's Charges against General Scott.
Notwithstanding the New York Globe and other pa
pors have the best authority for stating that Gene
raj Pillow has preferred charges against General Scott
and moreover that these charges have been referred
the government to the Court Of Enquiry, sitting
here The charges consist wholly Of documentary evil
dence, from General SCOTS official dispatches &c and
by them General Pillow endeavors to prove that Gene
raj Scott has transcribed his powers commanding
general Of the army This maybe relied upon also
the fact that General Scott notified by the govern
ment to be in attendance here to the charges
1t is astonishing how much pains papers occasionally
take to display their ignorance The facts which have
stated above have been contradicted over and over
again, by editors profoundly ignorant Of the matter

Ancient Politicians,

The present editor of the Philadelphia
LedgcrSdeath upon ancient politicians, and
goes it strong for progression, annexation,
occupation, expansion, and subjugation.
They call Horace Greeley the iii;,i Of isn,s,
the Ledger editor is the iian Of ions, and it
is difficult TO determine which is the stron-
ger in his peculiar line. Hear the Ledger:
"The next question is, where will all this
end? We answer, in the permanent occu-
patton and future annexation of Mexico; ia
the extinction OF a nation which, nnder-n
separate government, can never be any
thing better than hostile neighbcr, ard ITS
conversion into a portion OF our cOniederacy,
to the great benefit of each. In connection
with this subject, we have report of n re-
cent conversation between Gen. Cas- and
Mr. Clay, at Washington. Upon the meet
ing Of these two venerable politicians, Mr..
Clay begged, and imrlorcd, and entire atCd
