THE RATIFICATION MEETING IN
NEW YORK.


NEW YORK.
The Tribune of the 25th ut, contains a
full account Of the Wing Ratification Meet
ing in that city. Itwas a most enthusiastic af-
fair Among those who addressed the meet
ing we notice the name of Ex-Gov. Jas. c.
Jones, of this State. We subjOin an extract
from the Tribune's account of the affair.
TEN THOUSAND WING VOTERS IN COUNCIL.
Ten thousand Wings assembled in and u
round Broadway House last evening in en-
thusiastic Ratification of the nominations OF
Scott and Graham at Baltimore The two
Halls in the house were wedged full by less
than a quarter OF the asscmblage before the
Scott clubs from the several Wards began to
arrive in procession; Grand-st was full from
broadway nearly to Crosby-st. and Broad
way itself soon became so blocked up from
Boone to Howard-st that carriages could
nd pass and were obliged to abandon the
street. Grand-st. west of Broadway to Mer-
er-st was densely packed. As the Ward
Clubs moved from time to time with torches,
tanners and music, the speaking was inter.
lfupted by tempestuous cheering; and every
one seemed to feel that 1910 had come round
again. We may have had one as large meet
ing, but no such assemblage of all classes
since the Tippecahoe times, and none as large
even then. As many rs could hear the speak
ers at the various stands stood and listened
or interrupted only by irrepressible cheering
but there were thousands present who could
not ret within hearing distance; and must
needs be content with exchanging congratu.
lations over the suspicious result at BaIti-
more and the moral certainty of success
which the Nominations have insured. What
was spoke at any stand, or what was resolved
there, no fourth of the meeting could hear
but all were for Scott and Graham, and that
suffced for universal happiness and concord
PARTISAN SERVICE. At the democratic
meeting on Monday, at this place, Maj. Bal
lew charged that Mr.. Filmore's administra.
ton expenses amount to sixty millions pei
annum. A speech was made in the Senate a
few days since, by Mr.. Borlatd, of Arkansas,
who is one of the third or fourth rate men,
in which he says the record is before him,
and adds:
at discloses the facts that the expenditures
of Mr.. Folks administration, expensive as we
know it necessarily was on account of the
three years war with Mexico, and fruitful as
we also know it was in the acquisition of ter
ritory, averaged for its whole term of four
We rs, only S36,70S,60l per amman; whereas
Mr.. Filmores, in time of profound peace,
and without acquiring an acre of territory,
have averaged. during its three gears, S40,l
,77,O30 per annum-that is, 3,46S, 429 more
than MIR. Folks"
In another part of the same speech nc says
that Mr. Folks expenditures would average
S4i,432,6O1, if the Sl5,S96,OOo paid to Mex
leo, and the S3,00O,00O of Mexican debt as
sumei by us under the treaty Of '4S, are to
be included Of course, Mr.. Polk should be
charged with his own expenses, though these
very items have been coming up against Mr.
Fillmore by instruments upon that due MeHi-
co, and as they have been allowed by the
vssae. officers in settling these Tpfy claims
included in the $3,o0O,O00 of Mexican debts
due our citizens. Now give Mr.. Fillmore
just credits for his payment Of these iiabiii'
ties left over by Mr.. Polk, and what can we
say for Mr. Borland's regard for truth and
Justice! But when it is stated in public that
Mr. Fillmore has expended $60,o00,000 per
annum, we can only leave the speaker to such
"uncovenanted mercy" as he may be able to
get from the great Pierce party for the SER
y;ae.
