Loco-Foco Ratification Meeting.

| The Shamocracy met in the Court House
on Tuesday night last, to ratify the NOM
inatlon of Henry D. Foster. They had
quite time of it. Cyrus l.. Pershing,
Esq, who wasn't elected to Congress, pre-
sided. In the performance Of his onerous
duties, he was ably assisted by numerous
vice-presidents. The first speaker on the
carpet, was Robert i. Johnston, Esq. He
didn't pretend to make a speech, but
| merely desired to render to his consttu-
ents an account of his stewardship at the
Loco-foco State Convention. He did
this to . dot, and before he got through,
completely satisfied all present that he had
been '.the humble instrument" through
which Foster received the nomination.
The second speaker was John Scott, ESQ.
Of Huntingdon. He was decidedly Fos-
ter man, and suggested that the party
should forget all past differences, and
rally round the nominee He said the
Republicans had wholly absorbed the
American party, and he referred to the
remarkable fact that seven lean COWS had
once swallowed seven fat cows, and still
looked as lean as ever After giving it as
his firm conviction that the Republican
party is sectional in its character, lIr.
Scott gave way to some OF the 'frosty
sons of thunder" The third speaker was
John S. Riley, Esq. He was, beyond all
controversy, in favor of Foster; and said
that all the women would vote for him
if they could. He stated moreover, that
in case Curtin should undertake to carry
his banner from Lake Erie to the Della
ware, it was the intention of the Democ-
racy of Cambria TO pursue him in his
flight, and stop him on the Summit of the
Allegheny mountains. The fourth speaker
was Michael Dan Magellan. Esq He
opened out with sort Of funeral oration
on Washington, Webster, Clay, &c, and
then gradually passed to that odoriferous
and favorite subject, the nigger. Doing
that ample justice, he then turned his at
tention to digging up the defunct carcase
of Samuel Know Nothing, Esq. In this
operation he raised quite a stencil, as he
boldly charged it upon the followers of
that deluded Individual, that they used to
hold their midnight orgies in hog-pcns,
cow-stables, and all such highly-scented
tenements. Mr.. Magellan also said some
rough things about Andy Curtin, but as
they were spoken in moment of excite
ment, we freely forgive him. The fifth
speaker was John p. Linton, Esq He
occupied but little time, merely endorsing
the nomination, and advising the shat
tered elements of Loco-Focoism to come
together, and be themselves again Mai.
James Potts was then called upon. But
he came not. Colonel Michael Hasson
was then loudly called for No answer.
Numerous individuals were then invited
to pitch in and deliver themselves ofa few
consola;ory observations, But it was ike
calling spirits from the vastly deep: come
they wouldn't. So the meeting adjourned
with three faint cheers for Henry D. Fos-
ter

THE OIL REGIoN.-The discoveries of
oil in Northwestern Pennsylvania, are
still extending. 1t is already a source of
much wealth, and if the supply shall prove
exhaustless, oil is likely to follow next
after coal and iron in the mineral produc-
tons Of Pennsylvania We copy from an
exchange, as follows:
The oil operations are still in progress
at an increasing rate, the number of wells
now IN the course Of boring being almost
incapable ofa correct estimate. At Frank
lin, Pa, they have well, known as the
celebrated Evans well, which they maintain
is superior to the Drake we'll, or any other
in the vicinity of Titusville The oil is
not confined to any one county or district.
Discoveries Lave been made through the
whole Northwestern part of theState. and
In one county of Ohio, it is probable that
future discovery will increase these boun-
daries. The oil is found at various deptbs
IN some instances, as near the surface
as twelve feet; in others, only at depth
OF twenty times that distance.
