Sir: At the close of our United States court
we received telegram from Baltimore stating
the result of the Wing Convention for the nomi
nation Of President Several gentlemen bein
in attendance from different counties, notice wa
given that a ratification meeting would be held a
the courthouse in the evening. When the hou
arrived the house was well filed; and, upon mo
ton of James Armstrong, esq, Gen, James IT.
vim, of Centre county, was called to the onan ,
William 0akeson, of Juniata, Henry Lioyu' u
Blair county, Jacob Hibler, of Montour County,
and j. P. Schuyler, of Lycoming, were seieo'eu
as vice presidents; and VIM. H. Armstrong ana
Charles Bowman appointed secretaries.
The meeting being organized, Gen. Irwin stated
tho object 10 be a ratification of the nomination
of Gen. Scott for the Presidency During the
time he had the floor he was frequently inter
rupted by well-vented applause. His remarks
were listened to with great interest After which,
upon motion, committee of five were appointed
to draught resolutions expressive of the views of
the meeting, viz John p. Jones, of Blair county,
T. Coryall and DR.. s. Pollock, of Lycoming, VIM
Sharon, of Junata county, and ]. P, Stanet, of
Allegheny county Whilst the committee were
out, the meeting was very ably addressed by Jas
Armstrong and c. W. Scates, esqrs.
The committee, by their chairman, reported
the following resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved That we regard General Winfield
Scott as one of the greatest men of the age--as a
brave warrior, sound statesman, q pure patriot,
and an honest man; and that we hail his nomi-
nation for the Presidency with sincere and heart
felt qualification, and pledge ourselves to vigor
our and jealous effort to triumphantly ratify i
at the polls in November next.
Resolved, That his brilliant achievements, unde
the star-spangled banner of our country hav
the American people under debt of gratitude
that they will delight to pay by his elevation tt
the highest trust in their hands.
Resolved, That we warmly approve the nomina
ton of VIM A. Graham for the Vice Presidency
The offices of high trust he has already held are
sufficient guarantees of his ability. The conf
dence reposed in him at home, as well as his dis
tinguished reputation abroad, is sufficient, wher
coupled with the name and virtues of Scott mo-
only to unite the vote of his own party, but tc
attract the support Of all who love our nationa
Union, and who seek the prosperity of our com
mon country.
Resolped, That we continue to cherish the
principles of the Wing party as essential to the
best interests of the country, and look with con-
fdence to their triumphant approval by the
elevation of General Scott to the Presidency
Resotued, That we cheerfully concur in the
platform of principles adopted by the National
Convention of our party at Baltimore, and that
we will yield to it our hearty support.
Resol0ed, That the administration of Millard
Fillmore has been able, honest, patriotic, and
judicious, and that he enjoys our highest conf
dence and warmest esteem and admiration.
Resolved, That we regard Daniel Webster as
pre-eminently great, both q statesman and citi-
zen; that his nomination for the Presidency
could have added nothing to his reputation, or
the high esteem in which we hold him.
Resolued, That we condole with the nation in
the affcton of Henry Clay; that, in death, as
in life, every heart of our nation will be monu
ment of grateful remembrance. @'
