MEETING IN SOUTHERN SIERRA.-We extract
the following from letter to the Sierra
Democrat dated Wet Ravine, July 25th;
will give you brief account of a Douglas
and johnson ratification meeting at Alleghe-
ny, last evening, which was uncommouly
spirited and patriotic have rarely seen so
much enthusiasm in so small a community
The hrlng commenced at an early hour, and
was continued at intervals till late in the
evening
After most excellent performance by the
Allegheny brass band, the meeting was call
ed to order by Judge Patterson. After n few
exceedingly appropriate remarks by the
President, Frank Cowdery, Esq. of Downie
vile, was introduced to the audience His
address was brief and was listened to with
pleasure, and heartily applauded. He showed
very conclusively that in the late struggle to
nominate Presidential candidate the dema-
gogues and disunionists in the Democratic
party tried to get the advantage of the people.
He contended that the masses in the South,
as well as at the North, who were really ma
tional Democrats were anxious that nomi>
nation shall be made that they could hope to
see victorious; without reference to what
particular favorite interests the choice of the
nominee would serve. He thought that in
Douglas such nomination had been made
and further, that Douglas was the regular
nominee of the great National Democratic
party-and that all who vote for Breckenridge
are for disunion.
The next speaker introduced was Col. Plat,
of your place, who is well known and has
very many warm personal as well as political
friends in this part of the county He was
received with thunders of applause and in
his usual off hand conversational manner
succeeded most admirably in removing all
doubts, if any existed in the minds of those
present that Douglas is the nominee of the
Regular Democratic National Convention at
Baltimore, and Breckenridge that of the Bolt
er's Convention He showed from the records
(for the Colonel believes in producing the
proof for all his assertions) that Breckenridge
was not in favor of a Pacific Railroad and
also, that his supporters were opposed in 49
and so to the admission of California. lie
handled Mr.. Yancey without gloves.
Mr.. Cossit was then loudly called for, and
took his place on the stand and was voeifer-
ously appauded AS it was getting late, his
speech was brief He said that he should
support Douglas not because he was his
first choice, but because he always believed
in supporting regular nominees.
Altogether it was very successful ana
,credilable ratification of the nominees for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the regular
Democratic National party-and will be long
remembered as one Of extraordinary good
feeling
One word about Wet Ravine. ! believe
there is not Breckenridge man in the Ra-
