RATIFICATION MEETING IN j WILMINGTON. i A brge and enthusiastic meeting of the Democratic party of New Hanover county assembled at the Court House in Wilming ton, n Tuesday eveuing the 15th of June, 1 852. On motion, the meeting was organized by calling N. N. Nixon, Eqr., to the chair, and requesting S. It. Bunting and A.J Grady to act as secretaries. The chairman in a brief, plain and forcible manner explained the object of the meet ing. Whereupon S. D. Wallace, James Fulton, James Kerr, James Garrison and LDaniel S. Sanders were appointed a com mittee to draft resolutions for the action of the meeting. The committee having re tired, Robert Strange, jr., and Jo,hn A. Corbett, Esqr , the recent nominees of the Democratic County Convention being pre sent, were called upon and accepted the nomination, in a few appropriate retnarks. The committee through their chairman, S. D. Wallace, Esq., reported the follow ing resolutions, which were unanimously 1st. Resolved, That the Democratic party of New Hanover County do most heartily approve of the nominations for the Presidency and Yice Presidency of the United States, made by the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore, and will use every honest and honorable effort to ensure their success 2nd. Resolved, That in Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, the candidate for the office of President of the United states, we recognise the tried and consistent Democrat, the honest and sagacious statesman, the brave and gallant sol dier, the modest and unobtrusive gentleman. A man whose principles are founded upon the Con stitution, and whose patriotism is as broad as the Union 3rd. Resolved. That in Wm. R. King, of Ala bama, the candidate for the office of Vice Presi dent of the U. S.,we have a statesman, who, in the various legislative and diplomatic stations he has tilled, has discharged his responsible du ties with honor to himself, and advantage to his country. His native State will rally to his sup Dort. 4th.

Curtis) related the follow ing anecdote of Mr Webster: A gentleman resided near Boston not many years ago, invited him out to dine. After dinner the two went into the yard to see the cattle. 1M1 give 3'ou anyone, or two or three that you like, Mr Web ster,' said the host : choose which you will have-' Mr Webster walked about a short time and made a selection of the best cow the gentleman had. 'I'll take .that for one,' said he. He then drew a stool up to another fine cow, went to milk- ng like a farmer born, and soon said. pl'll take this one.' -The surmise was great. The gentleman had counted upon f"Mr W ebster not knowing a trond from a poor cow. A third was selected, when the good man took occasion to direct Mr Webster's attention to some other part of Hs establishment.' From the Stanusjii.

Well, sir, I was present at the time, and heard Mr Gilmer repeatedly charge and declare that the Western Democratic Delegates had sold tlie mselvt. to the Eust for the sake of party some of the Delegates being present at the time. Mr Gilmer also declared himself opposed to the present Senatorial basis, advocated a change of the same, and urged this posi tion as one of the great Western hg principles. He denounced the present basis as most oppressive to the West, and said "no State South of Mason's and Dick son's line, but North Carolina, would sub mit to such a system of injustice and op pression." He poured out the vials of his wrath upon W estern Democrats for oppos ing this great Western Whig principle; and asked how Western Democratic Dele gates woultl dare to, hold up their heads and advocate the proceedings of the late Democratic State Convention, touching the basis, &c, before the Western people. And be denounced Western Democrats who approve of the proceedings of that Convention relative to the basis and the amending the Constitution through the Legislature, as Western men with Easlein principles. So, Sir, it is easy to understand the game that is to be played here, in the West, by the Whig leaders. livery man in the West particularly if he be a Demo crat, Jvho dares to oppose these reckless demagogues, who for party purposes are now endeavoring to arouse the bitterest feelings of animosity among the people of the West against the hast, and who re fuses to aid them in their sectional war (-) a in lm lmnly, rk anil- if nl&illlc broken down as a V estern iioiuocial "ii. to the Juast as a Western man with Eastetn nrinciyles. But, Sir, 1 have no fears of the honest Yeomanry of the West. We Democrats of the West wish our brethren of the Kast, yes, of the whole State, to understand us. We desire them to know that, while we intend to be true to the West, we shall also be just and liberal to the hast ; that we are tar above this low, selfish principle of sectionalism ; that we desire, if possible, to draw closer the bonds of union, amity, and friendship around every part of the State ; that we do not desire to oppress the East, or any por tion of our fellow-citizens; that, as citizens of North Carolina, we look to the interests of the whole State. And we also wish the people of the East to understand the Whigs of the West particularly the lead- ers, and see if their course is not directly opposite to that of the Democrats. Mr Gilmer also spoke on Federal poli tics, and was followed by Messrs Caldwell and Walker, but tlie lieutenants only went in the lead of their captain. It was evi dently Mr Gilmer's desire to get up an excitement and he succeeded in part, for John A. Gilmer, Esq., while speaking, became greatly excited, bxit nobody else did A WES TERN DEMOCRAT. From the Raleigh Standard- To tlie Democratic Republi can Party of Nortli Carolina. I cannot refrain from expressing my deep felt gratitude for your warm, gener ous and unlooked for eH'orts to procure my nomination to the second o Slice in the gilt of the greatest nation upon earth. I should certainly have been proud had those efforts been crowned whh success, but believe me my gratitude to you could not have been greater. In what has been done I have received an additional evidence of the. kind regard with which you have ever honored me a kindness, 1 am sure, arising tiom no merits of my own. In the result I am not disappointed, fur my hopes were never excited, and no North Caro linian can regret that the nomination has fal len upon a native of our own State, whose fame has already shed lustre upon the land of his birth. I am sure his name will inspire far more enthusiasm than that of tlie hum ble individual whom you sought to honor. The selection made by the late Balti more Convention was altogether fortunate, though not in exact accordance with our previous wishes. Gen. 1'ierce has not hitherto been so well known among us, but allow me on this occasion to bear niy testi mony to his high merits. 1 had the plea sure of serving with him in the Senate of the United States, and was honored with his friendship ; and no one with whom 1 there associated has been more kindly remembered by me. He possesses a clear head and a generous and manly heart, and no one can know him but to esteem and honor him. If a Southern sun had warm ed him into life, he could not have been a better reptcsentatef t,wibe: Southcrr people.' - ' 'A vr tl'irV'. t'" :- .

A correspondent of the St, Louis Intelli gencer, who recently visited the Cincinnati Asylum for the insane, gives this bnet sketch of one of the inmates: llere is now conGned the young ladv who has so often been seen within the pasc lew years, promei.ading Fourth street m this city, dressed up in insane finery, intended fur bridal habiliments, fantastical ly decorated, and inquiring occasionally of passers by f ox the faithless cause of her too fatal sorrow . She had completed a lonely pilgrimage from Europe, to unite Uer for tunes with those of her betrothed, who had preceded her a twelvemonth or so. After a weary search, she found him doing busi ness, andmarried. The shock deprived her of her reason. Every passing day is, since, indicated by her disordered fancy, as the one upon which her -Henry, is com ing to fulfill his vows, and she arrays her- .ni-T --y uwti ...... v - "- t disappointment yields easily to a brighter hope for the morrow, and thus her beclouded existence is wearing away. When I cal led at her room, she was notdresed in her usual paraphernalia. Upon being informed that a gentleman wished to see her, no earthly inducements could prevail on her to appear until after she had elaborately arrayed herself with every single devico and adornment of her fanciful costume. She evidently imagined that the object of her long expectation had arrived; and when at last she met me, manifested her disap pointment in a way that was anything but flattering to her visiter." The same correspondent furnishes the following; Another object of singular interest is Mrs M who was formerly known as the 'belle of Madison.' She does not seem now to be over twenty-four years of age. Not long alter her marriage her father died, and very soon thereafter her husband also The double blow was tou heavily charged for the tenderness of her aiVecttuns. and ilcturonetf ner reason forever. nil a countenance the most beautiful I havo ever seen, she sits almost motionless from day to day an inexpressible sadness beaming from her soft and lustrous eyes while the whole expression of her face conveys, if I may so speak, a sort of in tensified sweetness and resignation. She never speaks, but yields instinctively to every suggestion or intimation of any kind from the keepers, and signifies only affirmative or negative replies by a motion of the head. So perfect a picture of deep, unutterable sorrow, 1 had never before seen or been able to imagine. I feel as if it will be likely to haunt me for a month to come. This unfortunate lady is pronounced incurable. There is another beautiful young wo man here, who, under a promise of mar riage, accompanied a young man from her father's residence in Illinois to this city, and was here deserted by him in the streets. She is one of the most furious and uncontrollable inmates of the asylum. When her cell door was opened, she was raving terribly, and shaking at the iron fastenings of her window. She turned upon me with a savage vindictiveness which rather inclined ine to a sudden leaving, when my composure was compara tively restored by a view of the strong chain with which she was confined to the wall In a few minutes her fury was Hoflened down to pathetic entreaty, and she made the most touching and tearful appeals against her unnecessary and cruel confinement. I turned away, thinking that the sight might, perhaps, be a profi table one to her destroyer, it he has not yet sufficiently repented of his clime.,, A suue Daguebbeotvpb. A woman's heart is the only true plate for a man's likeness. An instant gives an impression that an age of sorrow and change cannot efface. s
