Fremont and Dayton Ratification.
The Peoples Meeting at the City Hall, on
Saturday evening last, in ratification of the
nominations of Fremont and Dayton for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency, by the late
Peoples Convention at Philadelphia, was one
of the most enthusiastic and successful meet
ings of the season.
The speech of Mr. Coon, of Ohio, was full
of important facts and statements in regard
to the prospects of the cause in the West, in
Pennsylvania, SC He said he had heard
there was some doubt hanging over the re-
suit in Massachusetts,, but would allow him.
self, after witnessing the enthusiasm here
manifested, to entertain no such fear. As to
Ohio, he said she was sure for Fremont and
Dayton, by majority unpre eedented in
Presidential elections. In Illinois, the same
result was Enthusiastically manifest from pres
snt indications. Bissers District, which gave
Pierce in 1852 majority of 5000, will
give Fremont and Bissel, CHE latter now the
Peoples candidate for Goyernor,) like ma
jority. And the whole entire West would
give an immense majority for Fremont and
Dayton. There were but few in that State,
or in the whole West, for johnson for Vice
President. And New York and New Jersey
would follow in the wake of the rest of the
free States for the Peoples candidates. and
by their votes place John c. Fremont and

dental and Vice Presidential chair of the
Republic, for four years from the fourth of
March next Mr. Coon's remarks were en-.
Enthusiastically applauded.
The speech of Hon. Charles Allen, of which
we promised to give some sketch, was one of
the most successful efforts of that gentleman,
notwithstanding he was called upon to speak
without previous preparation. lie said it was
rather late in the day to ratify the Philadelphia
nominations that had already been done
throughout the free States. New Hampshire,
the home of the President, had spoken, and a

When that recreant luncuIonary, aItei HIs
firing from Office, on the 4th of March next,
shall return to his naive State, he would call
in vain upon the mountains to shield him from
the indignant condemnation of the people.
He would find no valleys deep enough, in
which to hide, nor any spot on which he would
be able to crawl, to escape the indignation of an
outraged people. In like manner, the other
free States would repudiate the administration
of Franklin Pierce, and spurn the embodied
representative of that administration, and of
the Cincinnati platform, James Buchanan,
with equal indignation and unanimity.
Judge Allen spoke of Mr.. Dayton as being
emlnently qualified for the post for which he
had been nominated, and as not being often
sive to any portion of the opposition to the adj.
ministration. Mr.. Buchanan he justly char
acterised as eminenty sectional candidate,
and Nh. Fillmore as hardly approaching the
position of a candidate of all. He said that in
order to effect the success of our cause, there
must be entire union and harmony of action
throughout the North, in regard to candi-

which we are engaged, was dwelt upon in ell

fore, we will conclude by stating that they
were admirable, and to the point, and went
home to the hearts of his auditors.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the nom
