Tras of all descriptions continued to be taken by the trade at full prices. ‘Wuusxry—Sales of 200 bbls. were reported, State Pri- son, in Ohio bbls. at 21 cts. Cotton Trade. ‘The sales of the week succeeding our last report of the market, on the 16th instant, were large in compari son with those of the previous three weeks, being near 10,000 bales, of which the home trade took 8,000 bales— about twice their average @pply—being tempted into the market by the remugprating rate obtained for many descriptions of their goods. Prices closed very slightly stiffer on Saturday, 20th inst., as holders seemed disposed to meet the demand readily, and there was no scarcity of the kinds in request, excepting only the highest grades. On Mon- day, 22d instant, the market was affected by the accounts brought by the Caledonia, and shippers ap- red in market and took 1200 bales at prices a 44 cent Bigher than the current rates of the last week, although the letters by this conveyance were said not to be so encouraging as the printed accounts. Tuesday, 23d, being packet day for the steamer Cambria, the market was comparatively quiet, and the bids made indicated less confidence in the maintenance of prices; the sales, which did not exceed 800 bales, were at rates }¢ easier than those of the day before. Wednesday, the market was still more dull, general buyers being fewer in num- ber. but the sales amounted to 1800 bales, a portion of which was to manufacturers, including a line of about 1100 bales Charleston cotton, classing middling-fair, which was taken for Liverpool at the reported price of seven cents, On Thursday, the sales were 1,500 bales, the market evidently gaining strength, there being fewer new samples brought out. On Friday, there was more desire to purchase, buyers exhibiting greater confidence, and operating on the belief that the Hi- bernia’s accounts would not be decidedly adverse; the lower styles were most in request for shipment the last two days, and were moved up a full quarter of a cent. Some Continental buyers appeared in market on this day, and took a few parcels, which was a new feature. On Saturday morning the market opened stiff. and about 700 bales were purchased for shipment, at full prices, holders offering less cotton than on any day of the week,—at half-past eleven o'clock the steamer Hibernia was reported below, and in an hour atter the news was announced. The accounts brought by her to 13th inst. from Liverpool were considered better than buyers anticipated, and would have been followed up here by increased action at an advance, but for the unsettled state of Continental affairs at the last moment, general war in Europe being now very generally feared. In the afternoon. there were no operations made of any moment, every thing appearing too unsettled in a political point of view to look for any immediate resumption of a steady and prosperous course of business, but with another ood harvest in England, for which the prospects now fook favorable, the present low price of our staple, must give sufficient vent in new markets to goods to main- tain the present currency. Yesterday. holders seemed indisposed to offer freely at the rates of Saturday morn- ing, and the amount on sale was decreased, which en- bled them to obtain slightly better prices on the amount disposed of, say 1500 bales, all of which was taken for export,—at a slight decline, large purchases would be made.

Ratification Meeting. 1 have just returned from a most amusing exhi- bition. Strolling along the avenue by about 8 o’clock this evening, I saw a crowd collected in front of the ruins of the old theatre; and in the midst of this crowd was a rude platform, above which was an illuminated sign inscribed with the names of Cass and Butler, There were a few wretched oil lamps, which did not furnish suffi- cient light even to display the features of the dif- ferent speakers. At the moment I came up, a very nervous looking gentleman advanced hurried- ly to the front of the platform, and shrieked out, in analarmingly convulsive manner, a motion that Thomas Ritchie do take the chair. A few faint and listless “ayes,” and a loud stentorian “no,” called Mr. Ritchie forward, at which the nervous gentleman clamped his hands in such a manner as to express that he himself was never in his life so much gratified, and as an intimation to the au- dience how much they ought to consider them- selves honored by Mr. hitch e’s condescension.— There were some nameless vice-presidents and secretaries appointed, and then Mr. Ritchie ad- dressed the meeting. He declared that Virginia was still true to her prineiples—the glorious prin- ciples of "98; that in the words of the lamented Dromgoole, (whom Mr. Ritchie grossly libelled three days after his death,) ‘union is strength,” and they should support the Union. That Mr. Jass was distinguished as a warrior, having de- youred a number of British and Indians in the war ot 1812—from the effects of which cannibal meal the unfortunate gentleman never recovered, still having about him the proof of the indigestibility of the savages and their white allies—that h was, therefore, entitled to the tenderest: sympa- thy of the American people—that he had, besides, disposed of England in one meal while residing at the court of France. {That, as to Louis Philippe, why he would not touch upon that subject just now, it was out of place, but he would talk to them of Butler—the heroic—the chivalrous, the gallant, the poetic, the distinguished, the renowned, the redoubted generalissimo of the armies of the Wnited States,—compared with whom Scott was a noodle and Taylor a mere child. What had Butler done? Why, he had roasted a whole barnful of British troops, and feasted his soldiers upon, ’em. While Mr. Ritchie was speaking, he was inter- rupted frequently by varidus noises in the crowd. ‘The fact is, the meeting was mostly composed of whigs and boys, and neither could keep quiet. The old gentleman at length sat down, nnd imme- diately a wheezy, asthmatic flageolet, and a most doleful drum struck up a ludicrously flagging quick- step, which affected Mr. Ritchie’s nerves so much, that he requested it should be stopped. The chairman next introduced a gentleman named Williams, of the “tenth legion,” who de- livered a speech on the invincibility of the demo- cracy of the county of Shenandoah. He entered into an extended history of the county of Shenan- doah, geographical, statistical, and political—told how, in the majority of Potts for representa- tive in the councils of the Old Dominion, was one hundred and twenty-seven and three quarters; but that, at the next election, the staunch democracy of Shenandoah, and of the particular township in Shenandoah in which the valorous Potts lived, had, after the most desperate struggle, and after su- perhuman efforts, knowing that the eyes of the whole Union were upon them, and that then or never they were called upon to vindicate the. an- cient glory of the county of Shenandoah, of the Old Dominion, of the conntry in general, and of the cause of the democracy all oyer the world— yes, the lion-hearted democracy of the locality in which redoubted Potts drew his breath, insti- gated to valorous deeds by, the women and chil- dren of Shenandoah—had piled up the majority of Potts, over his opponent, Fubbs, to one yaared and twenty-eight and a half. (The enthusiasm of Mr. Ritchie, at the narration of this historical fact, was indescribable.) The women of Shenandoah, the speaker continued, were equal to the men. (Some body in the crowd called out, “No doubt of it.”) During the last year, in one single township in Shenandoah, eight democratic mothers had in- tentionally, and foreseeing that the demand for democratic votes. would soon be larger than the supply, brought into the world each her pair of democratic twins. (Here Mr. Ritchie became al- most frantic with delight, and the nervous gentle- man brought his hands in contact with most un- merciful violence.) Let the ladies of the rest of the Union take example by the ladies of that town- ship of the county of Shenandoah, and insist upon having twins, and, his word for it, whiggery, be- fore long, would be driven from the land. The historian of Shenandoah was followed by a gentleman who announced himself as belonging to the young democracy of ney a-r. He was from old Pennsylvania-r—he was. Pennsylvania-r would roll out an old-fashioned majority for Cass and Butler of thirty thousand—she would. He then, after the example of his illustrious predeces- sor of the tenth legion, gave a political history of old Berks. It is ‘impossible to describe the abate don with which this gentleman flung arms and body about. Compared with him, the India-rub- ber man is a mere petrifaction, A Mr. Sickles, of New York, next addressed the meeting. He declared himself to be a hun- ker, denounced the barnburners, but said that both parties would cordially unite to elect Cass. (A voice in the crowd cried out, “ You lie.”) As for the whigs, the democracy of New York would see them d before they would give up the State to their control. ‘This classic passage was vociferously cheered. Mr. Sickles was succeeded by a bald, fat gent man, from Massachusetts, who was hissed, but who continued to scream out his views hoarsely and painfully, notwithstanding the marks of disap- probation which were showered upon him. tle was several times pulled by the skirts by the ner- vous gentleman, who besought him to give way to somebody else ; but he held out bravely, until he had expended all his wind, when he at length re- tired, in a perfectly collapsed condition. . Mr. Hubbell, of Wisconsin, addressed the meet- ing in the only good speech delivered during the evening. Afterwards, two young members of Con- gress made speeches to an audience of about twenty persons, and then the meeting adjourned to Gen. Cass’s lodgings, where they were ad- dressed by the general in person and, no doubt, afterwards took a drink at his expense. ‘The enthusiasm of the meeting was confined to the platform, where there were a few Cass dele- gates, and a number of clerks, evidently desirous of paying court to the new divinity, whom they may be called upon to worship after next Novem- ber. These gentlemen were extremely anxious to have their names figure in connection with the meeting. The secret of Mr. Ritchie’s acting as chairman is not of so very profound a nature that it cannot be divined. Son. The Nominations of the Baltimore Convention. An advertisement in yesterday’s Union, signed J. E. Dow, after the words “ Huzza for Cass and Butler,” contains the appalling announcement that “the prairies are on ** Whether those two re- spectable gentlemen are the incendiaries, or have in- stigated the crime, orhave had any agency init, does not appear. Itis merely stated as an iso! and startling fact. Perhaps, after all, it was only a sly device to attract notice to the object of the adver- tisement, which was to call a meeting to ratify the Baltimore nominations—just as a cunning grocer will head his advertisement at Christmas, “ The war with Mexico—attention—a fine fat gobbler for sale,” & : ‘The fact is that Mr. Casshas been nominated by the convention of the democracy as their candi- date for the Presidency, and Gen. W. O. Butler, now commanding the army in Mexico, for the Vice Presidency; and these nominations, it is said, have created the greatest enthusiasm in this city. Among Mr. Cass’s immediate friends, the liveliest enthusiasm—a prospective enthusiasm ; but among democrats generally, there is none. On the con- trary, there is strong discontent as to the means resorted to in procuring these nominations. New York was not represented in the Conven- tion, The mine votes of South Carolina were thrown by a gentleman who had no right to cast them, and who, in casting them on the last ballot for Mr. Cass, did not represent nine people in the State. There is no public man so obnoxious to the whole people of South Carolina as is Mr. Cass.— Besides, the strange manner in which Mr. Com- mander was sent to the Convention—by a meeting of fifteen or twenty persons, as lum informed, in alittle town in South Carolina—has created strong doubts as to the validity of the nomination—if, indeed, the word validity may be at all mentioned in connection with a transaction which has been from beginning to end, such a stupendous hum- bug. In effeet, the whole thing was a mere ques- tion of time with the friends of Mr. Cass. If they had had a few more days, there is no telling what number of votes they might not have changed. I | have not the slightest doubt, that if a three-fourths | rule had been adopted, they could have obtained that number in the end. Such an admirable sys- tem could not fail of success. ‘The affair of Duck | river was, to be sure, sublime ; but, really, the tac- ties displayed in drilling the delegates, beats it hollow. ‘The science of wheedling has never before been carried to such admirable perfection. It seems, Mr. John R. Thompson's virtue melted at tue very lenet, @ foreign i tis, of Mr, Cass stiocaad, ‘Hix defegtion from Mr. Buchanun at the eritieal moment 2 1 ended the gerife, To speak seriously, Mr. Cass 18 a very worthy, excellent man; but the means by whieh his friends | have procured for him the nomination, have di gusted every body who loves fair play; at the same time that his election is thereby rendered extremely problematical. He was re ally one of the least available candidates of the paity. It is really laughable to see such ~ man as Mr, Cass preferred to Mr. Buchanan and Mr, Walker. As to his military renown, he never had any; and it is an absurdity at which he himself, no doubt blushes, to speak of his achievements in 1812 The editor of the Union talks of his having “fleshed his maiden swerd in that war.” Now, | he never fleshed his maiden sword in any war, so fur as appears trom history, He never inet an enemy in that or any other war. His party ex- changed a few random shots at Duck river with « few British soldiers, who had retreated belor: he came up; and that was the only time M: Cass ever caught a glimpse of ‘an enemy A man so_ modest Mr. Cass will, Iam su thank me for thus sweeping away the cobweb fic tions of his too partial or too unscrupulous friends. Asa military man—a theoretical one, at least—he must know ‘that it is better to erect no defence at all than such paste-board fortifications as will but nyite the enemy to batter them down, Whatever fame Mr. Cass is entitled to has been earned, not ina military, but in a civil capacity. Besides, as has been said by a witty friend of his, if he won any laurels in the wir of 1812, compared with those won in Mexico, they are rather rococo. Gen, Butler 1s, perhaps, with the exception of Gen, Cushing, about the least distinguished of ail the generals engaged in this wa but as regards the Vice Presidency, however, the case is not so bad. quires very little capacity for the dise! duties. But the democrats have loudly condenined the policy of calling a man to a high place in the government from the field of battle. How, then, can they justify their selection of a candidate for the Vice Presidency ? ew York had no voice in, the convention She is therefore not bound by its selection. It would be beneath her dignity to give in a tacit consent te a nomination from which she has been ignominiously excluded. She has been treated with contumely—told that her assistance could be dispensed with—and then kicked out like anin er- loper. It was laughable to hear Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, declare with all imaginable confidenc that ‘we can do without New Y —himeelf coming from a State, which, notwithstanding the oceans of patronage with which Mr. Polk, with selfish and unprincipled prodigality, has deluged it, is still as much a whig State as Massachusetts or Ohio, The democrats, of all shades, in New York, should assemble in each distriet—appoint dele- gates toa general State convention—send to this convention a fair representation of both sections— and when assembled, ballot for a President and Vice President, to be supported by the democracy of New York. If Mr. Cass obtain a majority of votes, let him be supported. If another candidat let the vote of the democracy of the State be cast for him. If New York accept with submis- sion the candidates nominated without her con- sent, she deserves to be always treated with much indignity as has been heaped uj 1‘ the Baltimore convention. ( Wasuineron, The Democratic Nominat: The deliberations of the whig con , held at Philadelphia, are looked 1 1 more interest, since the nomination « by the democrats. Before the result was ki : the nomination of the Baltimore convention was regarded as equivalent to an election ; but the s lection of that body has rendered success ex- tremely problematical. If the democrats, with Mr.j Cass as their candidate, triumph in the ap- proaching contest, it will be an overwhelming proof thatthey are the predominant party in this country. Itmay be said that Mr. Polk’s election has abundantly demonstrated that proposition.— This is not soclear. It would be gross injustice. to Mr. Cass to institute any comparison between him and Mr. Polk ; but the latter had the advantage of being pricy unknown before his election. The main hope of his success was in his absolute obscu- rity and insignificance. His election was a sort of frolic of the sovereign people: just as Haroun Al- raschid was in the habit of amusing himself by placing one of his subjects on his throne for a day, and having him treated with all the deference and attention usually paid to himself, in order to enjoy his ludicrous mistakes and contusion. Unfortu- nately the people of the United States have been humiliated—not amused—by the mistakes of Mr. Polk ; and even his own party, in the convention, have shown their weariness of his misgovernment by not even mentioning his name for re-election, 4 it people have been sadly punished for their frolic. Mr. Cass has the advantage of being fully ac- quainted with the domestic relations of the coun- try—with the exception, perhaps, of its commer- cial and financial condition. This department of the government will require consummate sk it Mr. Walker retire from its administration, there will be very few from whom to choose. 1 know nobody but Mr. Dixon H. Lewis capa- ble of succeeding Mr. Walker. But it must be confessed that Mr. Cass’s nomiation has been | made under circumstances which render his elec- | tion extremely doubtful, The great mistake com- | mitted by the convention was, after retusing to | take sides with either section of the New York | democracy, in one instance, afterwards to nomi- nate a man who is completely identified with one We have seen of late that that office re- | of its | tet serenade should firet hnve been piven, 80 anxious however, were the leaders of the crowd to heat from New York: so desirous of gevip even 4 email assurance that the Knapite Was not rhe terly lost; so prominent and oppressive Was the a, prehension concerning her, that it overruled ail usages of et.quette, and carried the masic past the house of old Buifion and up to the residence ot il Dix, wh three cheers were giveu to » him up, and * Hail Columbia,” performed to s him out, followed by respectable calls of his Genefal Dix promptly made his appearance, and ter thanking his triends for the honor of their Visit, said thar no act of his should the strengtia of the democrage*ie weakened or impaired; and that with regard to the: treuble in his own State there was a consultation on foot, which he hoped | would end in harmony and in ‘snecess.
