Ratification in PHILADELPHIA.

One of the largest and most enthusiast
tic ratification meetings yet held, took
place last week in the city of Philadel-
phia. The following is from the Phil
adelphia North American:
"Were we to live to the age of Methu-
.selah, we shall never forget the specta-
Gle that greeted our eyes when the
entire series of meetings was concluded.
"Now for the Continental" roared
stentorian voice, and forthwith the en-
tire delegations entiladed into solid
rank, heading for the monster caravan
sera at Ninth ane Chestnut. OF all the
sights that Chestnut street has ever seen
that was the most splendid. Sixteen
ward delegations, of from six to eighteen
hundred souls and each man bearing
either transparency or flaming torch,
rockets traversing the open sky, and
bursting into fiery spangles that descen-
ded like showers of molten gold music
from the brGzen threats of multitude
of instruments, comprising thirteen
brass bands, clear sky overhead, and
an enthusiastic multitude below, all
these went to make up an occasion that
Philadelphia and the participants alike
will long remember.
"Upon arriving at the Continental,
the glare Of the moon was almost eclips-
eled. A huge vehicle, laden with fire
works, had reached the spot III advance
of the procession, and we doubt not
that for miles distant the light which
tinged the heavens overhead was visi-
bly, reflected But the music was equal
ly remarkable. The bands blended
their forces, and performed pean that
that almost caused the massive edifice,
ladies, to vibrate with the magnitude OF
the sound.

ovation extended to them.
''It was midnight when the assem-
blage dispersed, and it was on all hands
voted the most suspicious opening oil
any Presidential campaign since the
days of the elder Adams. Even the
glory that scintillated around Grippe
canoe was eclipsed by the surprisingly
brilliant and never-to-b e-forgotten de-
monstration of Saturday evening""

nB@Lot it be borne In mind by every
free white laborer. and by every friend
of Western progress and development,
that the only reason why the democrats
in the Senate are opposed to the House
Homestead bill, is that they are afraid
its effect would be to rapidly settle up
the new territories of the West with
free white men, who would organize
new Free States.

WHAT PRENTICE SAYS OF IT.-.The
Louisville Journal, OF the 18th, in
commenting ON the Chicago nominal
ton says: "Mr. LINCOLN, though as az
individual less exceptionable than Mr..
SEWARD, and though personally most
genial and estimable man, is neverthe-
less thorough representative of the
Republican principle in its widest rec
ognized expansion, which is the expan.
sion given to it in the platfol m on which
he is nominated for it is magnificent
and striking fact that the Chicago Con-
vention affirmed Republican principle
with a radical extension before it sur
rendered Mr. SEWARD"

Carl Schurz' Opinion of Lincoln.

At the Ratification Meeting held in Mlwsu-
kee on Wednesday evening last, Mr.. Schurz,
spoke of the Chicago Nominee as follows:
"Mr. President l had the honor to be a
member of that committee who were to carry to
Mr. Lincoln the official announcement of his
nomination. The enthusiasm with which we
were received at Springfield was boundless.-
There we saw Mr.. Lincoln's neighbors, and it
became at once apparent that those who knew
him bestowed and esteemed him most CHEERS
And then / saw Mr.. Lincoln again, for l had
met him before IN that memorable senatorial
campaign in Illinois, when he, as a man of true
and profound convictions, although discounte-
nanced and discouraged by many leading Re-
pubhcans, who thought it good policy to let Mr.
Douglas return to the Senate without opposition,
threw himself forward for the imperilled purity
OF our principles, grasped with bold hand the
Republican banner, which was in danger of sink
ing into the mire of compromise and unnatural
combinations, ard held it up proudly aloft in
one OF the fiercest struggles the country ever
witnessed. (Great applause.) met him them
IN the thick of the fight, when he bearded the
hon OF demagoguism in his den, when the brill
liant salies of his wit and sarcasm drew shouts of
delight from the multitude, when the thunder
Dolls OF his lnvective ratified triumphantly against
the brazen front of Stephen A. Douglas, Zap
plause) when the lucid, unanswerable logic of
his arguments inspired every patriotic heart with
| new confidence in the justice of our cause, and
when under his powerful blows the large Dem
ncratic majority of Illinois dwindled down to
| nothing. There i saw him do what perhaps no
other man in the Nation would have DONE
| There learned TO contide in the patriot and
IN defender of profound convictions, to esteem
| the statesman and to love the man (Great an.
apluse.)

Mexican Affairs,

The Mexican correspondence of the New
York Times furnishes news from the capital to
the LIST inst, and from Vera Cruz to the 4th
inst, of which the following is a summary:
g The reception of the message of Mr.. Bu-
chanan had inspired the liveliest hopes among
the friends of the policy of intervention. The
supporters Of the Mlramon faction had given
evidence OF being disheartcned by the senti-
ments expressed IN that document, while the
Liberal cause had been proportlonably strength
ened. Much anxiety was also expressed by the
Consttutionaliss concerning the fate Of the
new treaty the hope Of the reestablishmcnt Of
permanent tranquility depending upon the rat
itcation of that instrument, and the tulhlment
Of the line Of policy indicated i'll its provisions
Our correspondent notes In the Juarez Cabinet,
occaSioned by the Withdrawal Of Ocampo from
the Foreign Bureau, in order to accept an im-
portant mission to the United States and Eng
land, in connection with the subject Of interven-
ton by the former, and the opening Of rela-
tions with the latter, and regards his selection
for this delicate mission us a significant ndica-
ton of the present feeling OF the government
Mr.. 0campo is succeeded in the Foreign Office
by Gen. Degollago. Accounts from the interi-
or report the constant success of the Liberal
forces, and intimate that general movement
was on foot for a strong demonstration upon the
capital at the moment when Miramon should
leave for his campaign against Vera Cruz. The
numerical force much larger than that which
would be at the disposal Of the Liberals was
much larger than with which they began the
campaign year ago. Miramon, laboring un-
der financial difficulties, had made but slow
progress in preparing for his promised expedi.
ton, nor was 1t certain at what time he would
set out"
