Democratic Ratification Meeting in Philadel- phia. PHILADELPHIA, July 11, 1863, A very large ratification meeting of democrats was held this evening in front of Independence Hal. The names of twelve or fifteen prominent democrats And delégates to the late Convention were announced to speak, but nome of these appeared and to the evident disappointment of the crowd. The speaking was confined to local ward politicians, except Gov- ernor Swann, of Maryland, and Dennis Mahoney, of Towa, who was fntroduced as having been in- mate of the Old Capitol Prison. General B) did not make his appeafance, ‘The resolutions state in effect that the government of the Union must be restored to the original charac- ter, as ordained by the federal constitution; that usurpers who seek to subvert the government by destroying the federal judiciary and federal Execu- tive and establish military despotiam over the white ri in whom is vested the constitutional power of their States, must be conquered by ballot and thelr rebellion ber Le the pose of the people of the whole Union; ‘hat the radical party has during the past four years of peace violated every pledge it has ever given, reventing the re-establish ment of the Union, restora- on of the constitution and destroying the political power of the people, substituting military despotism for constitutional government of the States, {mpalr- ing the confidence and credit of the government, de- spoiling the poor by burdening them with taxes, refusing to honest labor ita reward, destroying Bee commerce and manufactures, making the rich richer and the poor poorer, giving to the negro race the only special protection and denying it to nical skill and labor of the land; defraud- « the patriot out of his just expectations, that end of the rebellion would bring peace, prosperity and union; plundering taxpayers o! their hard earned means by spoliatious on the federal ‘Treasury; peeling the tnoney collected by taxation; violatng the pledged faith of the government; creat- ing distrust and peril in nancial aifairs of the peo- ie; putting spies on the labor of the land; attempt- ing to give to the nee political power to control the States an governments of the States and Union; that Horatio Seymour, the great and wise statesman, the true patriot, the accomplished gentleman, whose ability, firm: ness and purity of character have made him the first man of the age and country, and who, by the wnanimous consent of all the repre- sentatives of all the States of the Union, conferred upon him the nomination for the’ great trust which the patriots of the country in- tend he ghall execute, by restoring the Union and re-establishing the constitution, giv- ing to our afflicted country union, frater- nity, peace, prosperity and the honest administra- tion of the laws and a faithful guardianship over the rights of all people of all States, is worthy of the con- fidence of all the peopte of Pennsylvania and of the American people; that in_ presenting to the people of the United States the name of Frank P.

MEETING OF BROOK LYN JOURNEYMEN BAKERS, There was a well attended meeting of the Journey- men Bakers’ Union of Brooklyn, held last evening at No, 72 Myrtle avenue, for the purpose of discussing the*present condition of the affairs of thet important branch of industry.

Asa composition it does not possegs any remarkable features either in plot or music. It is interspersed with a few pretty airs, which to be in any way acceptable would require geod artists to render them; but those who presented the four characters of the production yester- day do not merit any special mention, Oan- didly the operetta was but poorly received by the stim audience, who did not appear by any out- ward manifestation of approval to greet the thin and almost exhausted voices of those who took part. The next item on the programme was Beethoven's de- tifa jtoral symphony, with dances and pan- janis fustrations by "the ballet troupe. That the composition itself was onrelenely Dariortand may be unquestionably attributable to the fact that it accom- anied one of the most nonsensical exhibitions of White Fawnism that could be ined. Indeed, the audience smiled at the ridtou- lousness. A miscellaneous concert, consisting of several appropriate selections, brought the matinée to a close, “Who treads the path of Duty” (Mozart) was sung by Mr. Davis in a very creditable manner and deservedly elicited applause. Meyerbeer’s ‘Ah Mon Fils’’ was rendered by Mme, Hage a Wee succeeded by an excellent and wi ecut tasia, ‘“‘Semiramide,”’ by Mr. San- a » Migs Waldron interpreted Wallace's ballad, “Why Do I We for Thee?” with 8 ye yao that might be ht! pre . One 6f the best features of the cOncort jeyerbeer's splendid aria, “Robert, tot que j'aime,” which was sung by Miss Rokhol ina manner that spoke considerably for her training, taste and feeling, Altogether Mr. Glover's matinée was not 30 successful as, perbaps, i should have been. ‘guce Too Often’’ ia undoubt- edly an appropriate title for the operetta, for the less seldom it is produced in such a style as yesterday the better. THE LIEDERKRANZ AND ARION OONCERT.—Jones’ Wood was crowded last night with the créme de ta cremeof New York society, responding to the invita- tion of these two societies to celebrate the feast of their fraternization. It was an opportunity seldom offered, not only to hear the two at one place, to hear the two take part in the same chorus, but to see them ‘unite as one and pledge their mutual energies for the advancement of the highest cultivation of the human voice—in song. The reception of the German dele- gates to the Chicago Saengerfest gave the first im- pulse. It was then that the representatives of tho Arion and Liederkranz took the lead, and here it was ascertained what all well informed people had known before, that the spirit of animosity between them had, in fact, no ground to rest on, that it was of imaginary creation, that the elements of which both societies were composed sprang from the same source and were imbued with the same lofty enthusiasm to secure acknowledgment and appreciation in America to the lovely and soul-in- spiring accomplishment of music. The artist, it was once well said, has no home except the whole world, and the men instrumental in founding these socie- ties and raising them to their present estimate in public opinion were guided by the same apo- phegm, and would secure for popular vocal music @ popular home in America, the centre of the civilized world. It was all along regretted that personal intrigues and some malicious inter- meddierajkept themfapart. But now thoir force is bro- ken, and the Liederkranz and Arion, though bodily separated as two distinct societies, are spiritually and musically one. Hereafter the public of New York may expect to hear to what perfection and excel- lence the human chorus in its full development may attain, what sweetness and what force of tone, what terrible energy and what euchanting persuasion there lte in its volume and compass of sound. With these two societies united the city of New York can outstrip any district or single kingdom or principality in Germany tn the effectiveness and artistical execution at any it Saengerfest. The Arion and Liederkranz com- bined have vocal powers such as any operain Europe might be proud of, and hereafter we may expect to hear them often in conjunction and full co-opera- tion, The programme for yesterday's concert was as follows:—Grand march, “Prophet,” Meyerbeer; overture, ‘‘Freischiitz,”” Weber; Reverie, Vieux- temps; Rémischer Triumphgesang, Bruch, sung by - the two societies; selections of “Faust,” Gounod; song by the Liederkranz; overture, “Wilhelm Tell,” Rossini; song by the Arion; serenade for cornet and flute, Titl; battle song of “Rienzi,” R, Wagner, sung by the two societies; Fackeltanz, Meyerbeer. The orchestral pieces were executed by the orches- tra of Mr. Carl Bergmann with apes precision. The Roman triumphal song = Bruch was received with the utmost enthusiasm by the large audience, no less than six thousand people being assembled at the Fest Halle. The bass solos, “Triumph, Wir Geieiten im Chor,” were exquisitely rendered by the voices of both societies and well accompanied. No. 6, sung by the Leiderkranz, was “Wie Kam die Liebe,” and as the song brought the society so many encomiums it is needless to say how they sung t. No. 2, of Part Second, was “Schon Rothtraut,” by the Arion, as favorite a song with them as the other is with the Leiderkranz aud was as weil ren- dered. The crown of the evening, however, was the battle song of “Rienzi,” in which Mr. Candidus, as he did at the Saengerfest at Chicago, elicite. the greatest applause for his tenor, The solo chorus was sung with such perfection by both socteties that it had to be encore’. After the concert the company re- mained enjoying themselves till a late hour. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, The theatres in Toledo and Detroit have al! ‘closed up shop.” Professor Gonzalez and troupe are sacred concert- izing through West Virginia. Hartz, the tlusionist, is successfully floating ahead in pious Chicago, where he is nightly stabbing an Indian basket and floating a head for the amusement of the good people of that city. “Under the Gaslight’ had a magnificent run of two weeks at the Salt Lake City theatre, with Madame Scheller tn the leading female character.

They know something of its history—that it was one of the pioneer towns of the New Worid; that it performed its whole duty a century since tn the grand old Revointion which rescued this fair land from foreign he Shree and gave to it the ines- timable blessings of freedom. And they have heard and do kuow that in the last | ad struggle to pre- serve that precious legacy, the Union of these States, Norwich was among the first to “rally round the flag" and send its sons to the battle-fleld All this and more they have heard and do know; and now they have come themselves w see the beauty and greatness of one of Connecticut's most charming cities, Be assured that the young men whoim you see before you are not all strangers tothe “land of steady habits.” Many have Visited you on business or for pleasure.

At the close of thia speech the Seventh formed by jatoous in the street and woved forward escorted y two companies of the Third Connecticut regi- ment—exceedingly well drilled companies by the way—and was very enthusiastically received, the men cheering and the ladies waving their handker- chiefs. The scene presented to the eye aa tue regi- mevt marched through the principal streets was well worth beholding: Headed by Grafalia’s full brass band and the imental dru corps the com- mand marched as the Seventh knows how to m: bina srg rising and failing together with the regularity of the beating of @ heart.

THE BALL AND THR RETURN. In the evening there was a dress parade of the Seventh on the oe ise which was attended by all that large portion ot Norwich that could get to tho park im carriages, and also by those who had to Walk and be thankfal that they had feet with which to walk. The bati (after eight P. M.) in the tent was the cloaing scene of the Seventh’s visit. The dining tables by that time had been all removed, and by aa arrangement with the gus company of the city two hundred gas jets were erected under the canvas, adding light and briljancy to the general scene formed by the ricoh decorations of the enclosure and the mounds of natura! do’ , from which there arosé an odof ag that of crushed roses dur the whole orernay The tent during the bal was not ancomfortably fall, though it may be said to have been crowded, and though the ladies were not quite Bo numerous as the gentlemen, yet they managed so dettly, by their natural grace aud love Of flirtation, to occupy the atten ions of all and aliow no one to go away With the idea that f ever a Nor Wich damsel does sing ‘J’aime ie militaire’ she sings on the same principle that a girl speaks when she says “no” to & good proposal—that is, tuat sho does not mean it at aL The baliroom during tue dancing presented a view of great attraction. The rich trappings and unitorins of the oiticers aud men; the siiks and satins and diamonus and parures of the ladies; the reflection of old epauleis, and the dazziing brightness of the ecbretions upon which the Light froin the gas burners had full play, altogether formed a scene aa brilliant as tt was @njoyabile, The ladies were all very proity—not a8 a matter of course, but of tact— and! any New York city belle thinks that the ladiea of Nofwich don’t Know how to dress ac see: to the latest fashions she had better wake a trip there and learn a lesson some tine day whe there is am attraction like the Seventh tn town.
