Ratification Meetings and Clubs.

Ratification meetings" appear to have been
held in nearly every large city Of the West
and South, and in many of the smaller ones,
since the nomination of Fillmore and Denelson.
The enthusiasm and zeal manifested at these
meetings are not to be mistaken in their Ian
guage. They plainly say that the National
American party are entering this campaign
with hearty good will, and determination to
do their utmost for the election of their candi-
dates. This enthusiasm exhibits too, how
deep is Fillmore's hold on the hearts of all true
Americans. Elected or defeated, he can nei-
Their be elevated nor lowered in the good opin-
ions of the people. It was the intention of his
friends in thiscityto held a Ratification Meet
ing, but as it was desirable to have speakers
from distance, who could not at once be OBJ
tanned, the meeting was postponed for the pres
ent. We hope to have the pleasure ofannoun-
cling Fillmore meeting in Evansville a few
days hence, one part of the business of which
will be the formation of Fillmore Club
There is an earnest desire manifested for such
aclub, and there will be an enthusiastic res
ponse to the feeling in short time We shall
at once commence the work Of organization
in Evansville, and we trust the example will
be followed throughout the District, and that
each county may soon contain one or more Fill
more Clubs, made up of the friends Of Fill
more, no matter to what party they may be-
long. There is iYoung Mems Democratic
Club here, which illustrates that which needs
no proof, that the Old Liners have commenced
the work of complete organization. We must
meet them in this. Organization is what we
want, to do.efective work, and let it be COM
menced at once. As our first act, let us pro-
coed to form Fillmore Clubs throughout the
District-and after they arc formed, call the
clubs together frequently, or at stated inter
vals and seen that good speakers be procured
for each occasion. There never was the prop
er enthusiasm here for Scott, simply because
the people Of this District preferred Fillmore.
Now they have got Fillmore, and we have had
q thousand evidences presented us, that his
nomination is being received with enthusiasm
throughout the District, and that his friends
willfiabor for him .zealously and energetically.
To unite these efforts into strong motive
power for good, it is desirable there should be
thorough organization. The sooner we COM
mence this the better

OF It is understood that all the nominal
tons of the Old Liners tomorrow evening,
must be made 'by and with the consent, OF
the Shorthand his consent is only to be rem
dered by his personal feelings of friendship or
enmity to the candidates for the different of
fees. We understand he has already ruled
off one candidate for prominent office which
he now fills, and to which he was elected over
the bitterest opposition offered any candidate
on the same ticket and who of all elected, is
nearly the only man who has proved compe-
tentfor his position and performed his duties
faithfully. What others this redoubtable
Header" will rule out, remains to be seen. We
certainly congratulate our Old Line friends on
such bell wether, the tinkle of whose bell is
guide or command to them. But it is rather
amusing to see the old political rams of the
flock following this black sheep However,
they can't help themselves. He rules them,
dropping the sheep metaphor, with a rod of
iron, and they zaaoo it-vyet their submission is
beautiful to look upon. The only rebellion we
have yet noticed, was the nippipg in the bud
of his ambition to be President of the "young
mems Democratic Club" That he has not
forgiven that, is now being illustrated. He
will 'rule the roast to morrow night-see if
he don't

about o'clock on Saturday morning.
Mr.. Smith, of the firm Of Smith & Hawley
| OF Cincinnati, who was passenger on the
Lewis, Mr.. Burroughs, the steward, and Messrs
Patterson, the pilots of the Lewis came up.
and from them we have obtained some partic-
ulars. The letter of Messrs. P, which we
give below gives the position of the two boats
Ipreyious to the accident and how it occurred.
There were exaggerated reports circulated
in the city in regard to the loss oflifc. Some
had it that nearly everybody on board was
lost The highest number mentioned by any
OF our informants was twenty, and the pilots
think that this is an eXaggeralon. The per-
sons lost, so far as we could ascertain, were
the following in the cabin
gentleman named Finney, who came on
board the Lewis at this city with a lady.
Two gentlemen from Portsmouth, Ohio, one
OF them young man about Is years of aye.
VIM. Jacobs, second steward, of New Or
leans.
David McCutchcon, a cabin boy, ofSteuben-
VILE Ohio
Two or three others were supposed to be
under the ruins of the cabin Nearly all the
above were crushed to death.
On deck woman and two children were
drowned, and also another child, the mother of
which was Peggy, the fugitive slave who killed
one OF her children in Cincinnati when retak
en-, and caused SO much excitement in that
city.
An officer was here from Ohio on Saturday.
with a reluisition for her from the Governor
of that State, to answer the charge of killing
her child, but she had been taken away on the
Lewis. She is said to have given vent to shouts
of joy when she found that her child was lost.
1t is believed that some of the crew were
lost but it is not certain. Those on deck had
a better chance of escape than those in the
cabin as the Howard came Immediately aIopc-
side OF The Lewis, on which those below took
refuge.
