The Speakers at the whig Ratification
Meeting.

The orators at the rati fcation meeting las
evening, one and all, were singularly felicitous
both in language and address. The occasion anc
the scene seemed to inspire them, and the out
bursts of eloquence infused gladncss and joy into
the vast assemblage.
The speeches of Senator Foote, of Vermont
|Col. Williams, of Kentucky, and Gen. VIM. Cul
lom, of Tennessee, were most admirable. Senator
Foote is gentleman Of the old school. Hi
speech was able, dignifed, eloquent, and cour
teous to his political adversaries The noble
Kentuckan was earnest, energetic, as telling a
usual The gallant Tennesseean, who is th
representative of the City of the rock"-th
IL Hermitage district" enchained the vast audi
tory by his thrilling eoquence, his brilliant sal
les, his striking points. Gen. c. is one
natures orators His speech last evening wa
conceived in pure taste, admirably delivered, ant
will long be remembered for its power, peril
1nency and beauty

The Contrast.

The Contrast.
Independent of the principles Of the Whig and|
Democratic parties, there is much in the action|
and results of the two Baltimore Conven-
tions to arrest the attention of the disinterested
observer, as presenting contrast which cannot
fail 10 be acknowledged by the candid Of the
Democratic faith. At the very outset, in the
Democratic Convention, the majority rule was
rejected, and the two-thirds rule adopted giUiag
lie minority the po,cer 10 defeat the ciH Of Tie ma
jority, and laying down the principle which rel
suited in the election Of all the tried statesmen
in the party who had submitted their claims toI
the Convention and in the nomination Of com
paratvely obscure citizen The next step was to|
make nomination before discussing The principles
10 Le embraced ia the platform, lest there might be
dissensions which would prevent their agreement
as to the candidate, WHO might not happen to
think with "every sect and persuasion Of the
Democratic creed = or in other words, they
thought it the better policy to reverse the order
OF things by first lifting up the men, and then
putting the platform beneath them! 1t must be
acknowledged that there was in this a great
.sftness Of things !" and it no doubt saved much
bitter blood among the ulHeTenl '5ectS dRd per-
sndsions" of the party.
How honest or how Democratic it was to thus
impose upon and defeat the will of majority o.
their party, we leave the delegates to make an
swer to their constituency.
In the Whig Convention, the rule that ma
iority only Of the delegates was necessary to
nominate the candidates, and to settle all ques.
tions arising in the Of their deliberations,
was adopted and by this adoption was recog-
nised the first elemental principle Of real democ-
raey. BY its adoption, the choice Of a majority
of the Whig party was respected and obeyed 4
ard the Convention was not under the necessity
Of thrusting aside the eminent men Of the coun-
try, and of putting forward man Of straw" al
General without laurels, a civilian without al
name" Nor did The Why Convention shrink from
an arowal Of It's principles in open day! 1t did
not fret make the candidates, and after
wards the platform, for fear it could not agree
upon the candidates, because of different "sects
and psrsuassoa,;" but it adopted the platform
fret land by majority Of 227 to 66) and then
nominated men who are known TO their country

He HAS PASSED AWAY No more shall the
more shall his eagle eye gleam forth the fire of
his patriot heart. No more shall his stately
form be seen within the halls of our legislative
councils No more shall his ear be greeted with
the paudits Of his admring and grateful coun-
trymen He has passed away, forever and
forever!
Should the frown of the storm cloud again
lower over us--should the elements again be
shaken by the breath of discord and of anger
should the omens of evil and of strife again appear,
he whose presence could assuage their ire-he
whose potent voice alone could bid .hem cease,
may not again appear among the wisest and the
greatest of our land-may not with outstretched
arm, in words of reconciliation, again invoke
twin born with our glorious republic.
He has passed away! Earth has receded from
his view, and, as his soul has winged its course
to other realms, the appraised eyes of millions
pursue him in his fight
No-pomp, no pageantry, no effect Of wo, pro
claims this sad event. With none around him
save the mourning few, the old man sighed and
breathed his last And while the tidings fly to
every portion of our widespread land, a single
bell in solemn tones announces the event!
He has passed away.-he, the impress of
whose name is seen upon every page of his coun-
try's history for many, many years. he, whose
god-lke eloquence, in withering rcbuke or soul
enhancing exhortation, has chained and rivetted
upon himself the gaze and admiration Of mil !
lions of his felow-men; he, upon whom descended
straight from the founders of our government
the precious boon they bequeathed to us, and by
whom it has been protected and transmitted to
us he whose long life has been alone devoted to|
his country's veal, the benediction of whoseI
evening hours has been breathed for her future
peace and welfare-he has passed away, forever
and forever!
flushed be the voice Of anger and commotion i
Snenced be each syllable Of discord. The hour
is sacred in the presence Of the mighty dead 4
Let no tongue utter other words than those Of
grief and sadness! light has gone out the
voice of eloquence is still The sympathetic heart
of every patriot is bowed and stricken. He has
passed away the great, the mighty, the noble
the eloquent has departed. HENRY CLAY Isl
DEAD!
Mr.. CLAY had been for two or three days very
low. This morning the indications of early dis
solution had become manifest; but until ten
minutes before the event occurred it was mott
looked for SO early. He died at seventeen min

A Commercial Transaction.

twill be some time, ifnot longer, before we shall
awaken the echoes of our quiet Sanctum with
laugh so irrepreSSible outlaw which has just
eScaIed us, at mercantile anecdote inimitably
lated by German friend. An old fellow living at
Frankfort the Maine, sent to business cores
pondent at Frank Odor large consign-
ment of cotton stockings, and at the time, to
another correspondent in the same place, equally
large consignment of cotton nighcapS, the product
of his own manufactory. He wrote to each the
signated was found TO be too large, of which fact
they took occasion to inform him. He yielded
little in his demand but still there was offers for
his fabrics Again he writes, in reply to other let
tens of his correspondents, naming yet smaller
amount; but weeks elapse, and still no sale. AT
length he writes TO each correspondent to make
some disposition of his manufactures II they can't
get money for them, at least to exchange them, no
matter at what reasonable sacrifice, for any other
goods Under these instructions, the stocklng-fac-
tor calls upon tie night-cap agent, both unknown
to each other in connection with their principal,
and s'na1nes his Views;', he wishes to exchange
lot of superior cotton stockings for some other goods
he is not particular what kind, as the transaction is
for friend who is DESTROYS CLOSING his stock"
The man at inst can think of nothing which he
would like to exchange for So large supply Of
stockings, but at LENGTH bright thoughtstrk
al haye,'' said he, ga consignment Of nightoaps
from an old correspondent, which shall not OBJ
iect to exchange for your stockings" The bar
gain was SION closed. The stocking factor wrote
back at once that he had at length been enabled to
comply with the instructions oil his principal. He
had exchanged his stockingsfor "superior article
Of nightcap," in an equal quantity, which he was
assured were likely to be much in demand before
great whilel
The next day came letter from the nightcap
agent, announcing his success, and appended tothe
letter was big bill for commisionl AsYellow-
plush would say, "Fanzy that gents feelings"
