The Great Democratic Ratification
, Meeting. ,
Our N orivalk Locofocos are ti funny set of
fellow; ; they delight in ‘practical jokes; they
relish anything ludicrous, even at their own
expense. The secret history of their ratifi-
cation meetings proves all (his. First,‘we
had a flaming handbill p0:-led up about the
streete,~unnouncing that D. E. Sickles, Esq.
was coming here to enlighten the dazlmess
which then hung over the names of Pierce
and King. But the handbill was a humbug,
and the meeting jvas nought. Next it was
mysteriously whispered that the Democracy
were to haven rousing time inabout a week,
and that seine half dozen of Generals and
Colonels were already pledged to speak on
the occasion. But the whispers were fables,
and—-“ like the baseless fabric, of a vision,”
-the whole scheme vanished into nonentity.
A vieek or so elapsed, when, behold, 0.91
comes our neighbor of the “ Democrat” with
the astounding announcement that there now
was really -to be a 'm(1,I/Zcation meeting, and
Mum WALSH (l ! l) was to be the hero of the
affair. This we considered decidedly funny,
and we resolved to be on hand whennthe
time came round. ‘
Well, the 13th, the day appointed for the
affair, arrived, and towards night men began
to gather in little knots and talk over the
\
coining scene.
“ I say,” says one, “Mike is here !”
“ You don’ts:iy so, though l" Have you
seen him 2", ' u . S
“Yes, and Capt. Rynders is with him.”
“Capt. Rynders! where are they '3”
“There they go now,” and the speaker
pointed to a ‘decidedly flash-looking person-
age with a white. he-t,-who was patrolling the
streets in company with our friend ‘Marsh of
the Democrat and a long-haired rubicund
individual‘-who belongs in New Haven and
rejoices in the name of Stoddard. \
Now it happened that the inquire! in the
above dialogue was from Wilton, and didn’i
know our friend Marsh, and therefore at
once took it into his head that the harmless;
editor was the rcdouhtable lasiali Rynders.
“Why, whata little fellow he is l” ex-
claimed our Wilton acquaintance. “ I
shouldn't think /tc could fight much. He
looks rather savage though when you get a
good look at him. You can see it in his
eyes. Lord l I guess he heard me-—-they’re
coming this way, let’s go into Bissell's."
Such vvasthe conversation about the streets
till the evening shades came on. As the
darkness increased, a crowd of some two hun-
dred——Whigs, Democrats, abolitionisis, ne-
gross and boys, collected in Main st. opposite
Steven's hotel. Somebody called the meet-
ing to order, and a slim lad in spectacles came
out on the balcony of the hotel, and in a
shrill voice assured the audience that “Gen.
Scott was zi jackdaw.” This alarming in-
formation rather disluibed the gravity of the
crowd, which was only restored, when, after
the slim lad, whose name we believe was la-
geisoll, had retired; ...tl‘le rubicund M r.
Stoddard rushed‘ out, and, with stentorian
lungs, exclaimed that.“ north, south, east and
west were harmoniously combining, and go-
ing still farther wcsl—thc Queen City oflhe
west harmoniously boomed l‘0(}t) guns to the
harmonious harmony of the Democracy, and
from the mouths of cannons and waving flags
were harmoniously sung the praises of Pierce
and King l f” This sublime intelligence
seemed to give great satisfaction, and one
small boy even ventured to shout “ hooray !”
but his enthusiasm was immediately re-
pressed.
When Mr.‘ Stoddard got through, the‘ hero
of the occasion, Mixs WALSH, came forward.
He said that “the Democrats threw, the tea
overboard in Boston harbor, and fought the
battles of the Revolution.” This sentiment
was not much liked, as it grated hard on the
feelings of some of our most prominent Lo- ,
cos who have not yet forgotten their ancient
affection for King George. Mike proceeded,
“in 1776 the Democrats drove the VVhigs to
New Brunswick and he wished to God they
had staid there.” (We quote his very
words.) “But the Democrats, with charac-
teristic magnanimity let them come back, and
they immediately got into power." (Queer
fellows, those Whigs l)- ‘' Gen. Scott kept
out of gun shot, but the common soldier de-
served to be President for life and to have
the snuggest corner of heaven afierivard.”
Mike said more, but his speech on the
whole was a sad failure, and,as we rather
like h-irn,\ve"l?l say no more about it. When
he enderlav person with sandy face and whis-
kers cnme forward and pitched into Horace
Greeley, but Mr. G. beingiit the time in
New York-, bore it with ‘great cquan.iin—i=:y-

Su'ch was the great‘ Locofoco ratification
meeting.
Gen, Scott amt Gen. Jackson.
A more disgraceful libel upon the charac-
ter of a deceased patriot and hero, never
was pe‘rpetr_ated,,‘tha‘n the republication of
one of‘Andrew .l—.ickson’s almost -forgotten
letteI‘s,’in the last issue of the Dcmocrut.—-
Two prominent faults of Gen. Jackson’s
character were quickness to 'angai', and im'-
petuous yielding to sudden ltTl'ptl’fs(‘.s. In
1817, THIRTY FIVE YEARS ‘ago, Generals Scott
and Jackson got into_a personal diflicnlty.—-
‘A communication had appeared in some
paper, criticizing 8 militaiy order of Jack-
son's. Some scound-‘cl sent the paper to
Jncltson, accompanied by an anonynmts let.-
lcr charging Gen. Scott with being the all-
thor of the article. Now, it is perfectly ev-
ident, that Jackson ought not to have taken
the least notice of all this, but following his
first angry impulse he wrote Scott a c/m.rac-
terzstic letter, inquiring if he was the author
of the article. Gen. Scott replied in subs-
tones that a. charge of this character, can-
veyed in on anonynzau: letter, ought not to
be noticed by any one, and certainly would
not be by himself. The implied censure,
contained in this reply put Jackson in a tow-
ering rnge, and he forthwith despatched to
Scott, the letter published in the Democrat of
last week. It will be seen that the last
clause of the letter invites a challenge, but
Scott refused to send one. Jackson then
challenged Scott, but the latter declined in
a letter which does him honor as a man, a
soldier, and ti Christian. We have not the
letter before ‘us, but its substance was, that
apart from his religious scruples, which
some might think lightly of, there was a pat-
riotic reason why he would not accept the
challenge, and that was, that neither Jack-
son or himself had a right to deprive their
country, in this mode, of the services of
either. We affirm’ unhcsitmingly, that for
21 Virginian born, a Major General in the U.
S army, in the year 1817, thus to decline a
duel, exhibits more true courage, and gives
more honor to Gen. Scott, than all the bat-
tles ever fought.
And here the controversy ended; no man
more bitterly regretted the writing the letter
published in the Dar/moral than did Gen.
Jachs‘on,and in 1831§lie proved that regret
and his confidence in Gen. Scott, by ap-
pointing him to the command of the troops
at Charleston, then the hot bed of n'u'l'l'i'fica-
lion, and the threatened scat of civil war——
a post more responsible than ever was occu-
pied by any soldier in this country, and the
duties of which were performed by Scott in
a manner that won fut‘ him the admiration
of the ivhole Union.
And now after the lapse. of tlzrirly;/(Ire years
LOCOfflC()lS'l‘, diving into the putrid sinks‘
and ccsspools of nlinost forgotten party and
personal rancor, fishes up this letter and
spreads it once more before the world. W’:
are not enthusiastic admirers of Andrew
Jackson ; -llihilc -we believe him to have
been personally honest and patriotic, we
believe also that he yielded too much to‘ the
crawling SCOtll’ldl‘tf$, who, by taking advan
loge of his failings, gained" his confidence
and rendered his _adrziinistraii0n- a lasting
evil. But we do appeal -to those of our fel-
low "citizens, who retain a fresh remem-
b'ranc‘e of the times when OLD‘ Htclioitr was
loved and honored by millions of his court-
trymen, to say‘, whether it is not a- grievoiris
insult to his l’ll8l*}'l()ly, again to parade t/its
evidence of his c‘lia'ra‘cteri‘siic failings before
the nation, for the purpose of blackening the
finite of one, whose gvholre life has been but
acontinued act of devotion to the honor,
the welfare, and the glory of his country.

presumed that few of your readers under-
stand the exact geographical situation of this
village, as it is quite difficult to comprehend
its locality, and the topography of the coun-
try hereabouts,_without an actual visit to
the piece. Be it known then, that the pleas-
ant village of Riverhead, is located at the
head of - ti-dewater--about midway of the
lsland between the O‘eea~n“and the Sound,
and 75 miles from New Yorloiupon the L.

Bays, which here literally’ split thelslirnd
for a distance of thirty miles.
Numerous. villages dot its ‘shores from?»
O‘ysterpond'point,"(the extreme n‘drtlt’b’tancli‘)‘
to Riverhead, while the‘ picturesque hills of
the fishermen, who get their living from
the Bay, are eprinl:-led along, at t_:onven‘ien't
dista‘nce£f,“givin'g fine‘ effect to this truly"'en-
chanting picture. These niagnificent Bays",
iharborsand inlets constitute a sheet,ofw'-a-
let some thirty miles in length, of various
width, that is scarcely surpassed for health-
-ffilneshs and-quiet beauty in the wide world.
Seated upon its shores, are the villages of
.laineep'ort‘, Sonthhold, Greenport, O°rien't,-
Sag Harbor, and several ininor seit'ie‘tnen‘ts,
with numerous islands nestling like so many
gems upon the ‘bosom of this inagiiificent
Estuary. H ' i ' A
These severiil points above named are
places much resorted to in Sniiinief, fut‘ pur-
poses of Fisliing, S:iilin;z,.&«c. . And thou-
sands of Porgrcx, Black;/ish, Mac.’¢crcl, and
Set:-‘Btzss, and the like, are drawn from the
briny clement eachsttccessive season. in
addition to this, about the village of _l'fiv'era
head, the‘ sporfsnitin can find some delight-
ful streams of fresh water, abbunding with
Trout, and a succession'of" beautiful Ponds,
fed by never failing springs, teeming with
the voracious Ficlrcrel, as also Perch, Sun-
Fisli, &«c. doc Here one can find fisliiing. to
his heart’s content’. -Indeed, these fresh wa-
.ter Ponds afford the finesi.’ Pickerel fishing
that this country affords. T-we gentleman
from the long island House started forth”
the other day, and returned with 90 lbs; of
Pickerel, raiiging in size frorti -one to‘ three
lbs. each. This is rare sport, where nothing
but a simple piece ofPork is used for a bait.
Two young lads went out ihisafternoon, and
returned before night with two large strings
of.Pickerel as much as one man would like
to carry. Within a slorie’s throw of
one of these P--nds is one of the most com-.
fortable and commodious Hotels, to be found
upon this portion of the lsliind,l{ept by Cap-
tain Wells Griffin, asinunch and _ tliornugh

[Ions-2” above referred 10, located in the cen-
'tre of this village, and has been known as n
teniperance House for many years, Audit
must ever be a favorite resort,‘ for all
who love a quiet house, an obliging,
and excellent Host and Hostess, pleasant
sleeping apartments,and a bountiful table. —
Adjacent to this is another Hotel, kept by
Mr. Corwin, who is doubtless an excellent
Landlord, but is patronized by those who
consider a bar essential too well’ furnished
Hotel. ' The deer ranges the immense Pine
Forrest: extending some eight miles, to the
south side of the Island, and coming within
rifle shot of these Hotels. And in October,
when the game laws are up, they are hunted
with horse and hound, with various success.
But these f.ivori2e haunts of the deer, and
wl‘i'ere' they have roamed, from the time they
were pursued by the wild, untutored lndizin

tribes, fo the present timiqhave been most se-
verely threatened of lute-,by this frequent

At the present date, the woods within three
miles of this village, aresmoking with the
smouldering remains of a fire, which is's‘a‘id‘
io'have lJllTllP(l over three thousand acres "of
w0od],,nd, within .three days past; and the
villagers by hundreds have been compelled
to llJ‘l‘n out. to subdue the flames, which, l

season, like the present, will travel with the
speed of a fleet horse. 'I"b‘ey- succeeded in
contoiidiog against it. by firing in upon it
fzum the leeward, and thus stopped its pio-
gress. Some hundreds ' of. thousands of
acres have been burned over, within a few
yea-rs past ;. and, many, whose property con-
sisted chiefly in woodland, have been ruined.
A noble deer, was seen a day or two since,
flying before‘ the flames, with the speed of
the wind—- wlrile rabbits, land» tuitles, and
snakes, have been roasted alive,nnd, in abun-
dance.
_Eigh!‘ miles south of this place, and situ-
ated on the southern shore of Long Island, is
the quiet little village of Qhtogue. This has

Now, we never wrote one line respecting
his moral character except the di.-cliaimer

be, have notliiiig to d_o with our opposing his
elevation to the-Presidency. ' His politics and
ours are oniipodes, and, aside from his hostil-

them light for pretending n devotion to Hot’

grmify a personal spite. As a politician and
a candidate, Gen. Pierce is one of the kind
to whom our opposition is a labor of love; but
as a private citizen, we have nothing to say
oi him, And we rcspecifully request all cut‘-

to have no connection; and we know that it

between the st:l’VlCeS to their country of these
two rnenrespective-ly, 18 clear enough; we
believe their capacity for future service is in
direct ratio thereto; we confidently trust to
thepcoplc’s" di’scriiniriati’oo as" to which of

about their voting against Gen‘. Pierce so‘
