al Good Raanonae.

That was a glorious ratification meeting at
Wilmington, Delaware, on Wednesday night; and
John M. Clayton delivered splendid address
Winfield Scott, he said, had been chosen the
standard-bearer on the platform OF principles
and the only question he had to propose to his
hearers was Shall we adopt the Baltimore Wing
platform Unanimous cries Of Eyes" "yes. ]
General Scott he said, was scholar and q states
man, ana the greatest general Of the age He
never saw better international lawyer, and he
would support him for his civil qualifications
alone. In alludlng to the Guadalupe Hidago
treaty, he mentioned the fact that Gen Scott was
offered 81 900, 900 to take charge Of the Mexican
army and become president Of that republic for
five years-an offer which he indignantly spurned,
saying, 81 am an American soldier: my country
shall have my services, and other people"
Tremendous cheering. Though Protestant
Episcopalian, he was yet no sectarian; and whilst
in Mexico he had commanded the respect of all
by his scrupulous maintenance of the rights OF
all as to the enjoyment of their religious views
The speaker alluded to Gen. Scott's determined
stand in aid of the Irish soldiers who had served
under him at the battle of Queenstown, by draw
ing up with his own hand the retaliatory act pro-
tecting them from execution by the British gov
ernment for serving under the American flag.
Scott, he said, was in battle a lion, but withal
was as merciful as the lamb. In Mexico, where
his power has been felt, he has the reputation of
being the most merciful man of the age. Ap-
plause He commended Gen. Scott's frmness
in refusing to write letters. In reply to those
who urged him, he said ~ will not degrade my
self by writing an eectioneering letter, even to
attain the summit of human ambition-the Pres
idency of the United States" Long continued
cheering. "Will you," he asked, "stand by
the nominations?" And this was responded
to by nine cheers and the most enthusiastic ap-
plause.
