Ratification Neetingat Tammany
Hall.

Hall.
The great ratification meeting at Tam
many Hall, New York, on Wednesday even
ing last, was, according to the Herald, zone
Of the most remarkable political demonstra-
tions" ever Witnessed in that city. The
gathering was immense, and the enlhusism
unbounded Ii was the migling of the two
Democratic eurents-for four years past
running in separate channels-into one, and
forming a mighty stream, against whose
current no Wing vessel, no odds who its
commander, can make any headway. The
Herald in noticing the meeting says:
The Wings are filed with CONSERVATION,
and they are now so puzzled that instead
OF going for Scott, they are meditating wheth-
er they will not fall back upon Webster
In fact, they are at their wits end. There
were some Of theicaders present the meet
ing last night, and when they saw that John
Wan Barren swallowed the Baltimore plat
form without being choked, they turned pale
as ghost, and they mutrered, call is lost
now" One gentleman said facetiousy, 81
will so home, and get my political coffin
made"
1T was monster meeting, the greatest
political demonstration this city has witness
cd since the days of Gen. Jackson and cx-
ceeding in magnitude even the demons,ra-
ton given to Old Hickory The party thor
.oughiy combined upon the nominations, and
the result was the most harmonious meeting
held fJr many years in Iammany Hall,
the most tremendous enthusiasm
and the most universal and numerous gath
erngot the democratic forces, ever assembled
at party meeting in this city.
The hour Of melting was eight o'clock, but
long before that time, the Park and the streets
in front, and on cilher side ofTammany Hall,
were filled with human beings. The differ
ent wards Of the city, under their respective
political leaders, and with bands of music,
marched from all points of The COMPASS to
the old wigwam, as the grand rendezvous
1t was more like the gathering of battaloned
hosts than the assembling Of civilians for
political purposes. While Tammany Hall
was in a blaze of illumination, every pane
in every window having its light, the vast
multitude outside were in blaze of enthusi-
asm, and the incessant roar of one hundred
guns from The Park, which we answered
by one hun red from Murry Hill, with dis
play Of brilliant fireworks, the exhibition of
bal ncrs and transparencjes, the music Of
various bands, and the shouts of the people,
all combined to present picture, which, to
be realized, must have been Witnessed
The scene inside OF Tammany Hall was
not more exciting than that without. When
the doors Were opened there was perfect
rush, and in few minutes the hall was fill
ed to sutlocatIon.
The N. Y. correspondent ofthe Baltimore
SIN has the following notice ofthis meeting.
The Democratic ratification meeting at
Tammany Hall, and in the Park last night,
was monster gathering. 1t va the lar
gcst political meeting held in this city for a
long sine, and the nominations ofPierce and
King were hailed with great enthusiasm
Besides the crowded meeting in the hall,
speeches were made from SIX or seven differ
ent places on the outside. Among the speak
ers were the Hon. Geo. Bancroft, M Will
lard Of Indiana, Gen. Pillow, Hon Mr.. Stan
ton, Col. NcMulIen Of Virginia, Hon. John
4. Dix, Mr.. Howard of Tennessee, John Van
Buren, and number Of others.
Mr.. Van Duren, on announcing that he
had buried all past differences, would abiI,
by the Compromise and the Fugitive Slave
law, stand upon the Baltimore platform, anC
zcalously support Pierce and King, was re
cciyed with tbs most tumutuous and pro
= loDged applause. He added th~t he did nc
want and would accept no Office Of any kind
1t is only on the division oflhe Democrat
ic party that the Wigs based their hopes o
success in the next Presidential election
The nominations Of PIERCE and KING have
knocked that prop from under them, and
they now know not what to do. The Dem
ocratjc party is united, harmonious, enthu-
siastic, and will move to victory in solid
phaIanx, and with colors flying. Let all
who do not wish to be crushed, get out Of
the way Of the great Democratic locomotive.
