Irish Meeting in Philadelphia-state Of Public

Opinion in Pennsylvania.
We refer the reader with particular satisfaction
10 the proceedings of the great Irish Meeting i'm
Philadelphia, and to the letter of Alex. Cook, one
of the fathers of Pennsylvania Democracy. The
Philadelphia Inquirer declares that those proceed
inGs "should be considered abroad containing the
sentiments of large majority Of the Irish popula-
ton who at the last election voted for Gen. Jack
son-and that this change alone would be suffi-
Gent to turn the scale against Jackson in that vi
cinity" The Inquirer adds, ''but confidently
friends in the interior of the State, and
throughout the u. States, that changes equally i'm
portant have taken place in the sentiments of our
native born citizens, not only in Philadelphia, but
throughout Pennsylvania"
We know from many indications, that the
changes in Pennsylvania have been extremely nu-
merous, and the detection from Jackson in extent
and celebrity, beyond all example We'know too
that political change is catching, if contagious;
that orc aninatcs another, to declare his convict
ions, and express that disgust which may have
long secretly, found place in his BREAST that those
who know no higher motive than TO be with the
majority, are apt to change with the changing;
that, in short, Ncy expressed it, Revolutions
never 60 backwards" The greatest popularity
also is destined like all sublinary things to fade to

such was the great majority for Gen. Jackson in
Pennsylvania in 1885, and so large the amount
of change, necessary to revolutionizc her politics.
that any other candidate could carry away her vote
from him.
There is now, however, reasonable prospect,
that this will be done. Wenvitc attention to wha;
the Pennsylvania Inquirer says.
"Our hopes, too, with regard to the issue ofthe
Presidential contest in this State, have been
strengthening with the lapse of each day. But a
few weeks since and entertained the opinion,
although desiring otherwise that the electoral vote
ofPcnnsylvana would unquestionaby be given to
Andrew Jackson. Since the circulation of the
Veto Message, however, SO decided and extensive
has been the revolution in public opinion, that we
now confidently cherish the belief that Pennsylya-
mia is uncquivocally lost TO Jackson. The yeomanry
of our commonwealth arc rising up in all parts of
the State. and avowing themselves friendly TO the
Tariff, the Bank, the Supreme Court, and the
Constitution-and hence opposed TO the policy of
the National Administration. The changes that
lave already taken place, have been beyond our
most sanguine NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are constant

THE PORTSMOUTH IN. H3 SALUTE.

This, like the Columbus cannonade, in honor
of the Veto, turns out small business The
Portsmouth Journal observes:
"Royal Salute Of 100 Guns-It is indeed laugh.
able, that this famous salute, fired here, is served
up in the Richmond Enquirer, evidence that the
Presidents reckless conduct lin vetoing bill which
had passed both Houses of Congress- by large
majorilies) is popular measure.
"Pcoplc here, on the spot understand the whole
thing very differently. About dozen men paid
for the powder which was burnt. and for the grog
which was drunk by the patriots who fred the
guns
owe know Of two men, and of two only, who
really had some reason to be glad, that The Bank
met with this temporary check. One of them is a
very respectable man, who once had some prospect
of snug Office in the institution, but was disap
pointed. The other is not Gerry respectable man,
who hates the very name of the Bank, for Il cause
somewhat similar, and who manifested great spirit
on the occasion. The Patriots, who burnt the
stolen tar barrels and capered round the fro, knew
nothing, and cared nothing, about that bank, or
any other. On the whole, very small portion Of
the people interested themselves in the matcr of
rejoicing and the whole thing looks vastly better
on paper at distance, than it did here, where it
passed for rather small affair"

Reception of Tie Veto in Missoui.-Thc Mes
sage of Gen. jackson vctoing the u. s. Bank,
was received at st. Louis, Missouri, the 22d
ult and excited the highest disapprobat OH of both
parties The st. Louis Beacon, strong Jackson
paper, says-"IIaviDg expressed our opinion in ia
your OF re-chartcrDg that valuable institution. we
regret TO say, that the Veto Message gives us no
reason to change that opinion" A. portion of the
jackson and Benton men held meeting, and,
adopted resolutions approving Of the Veto.
Another very large meeting, also held, with.
out party distinction, at which resolutions were
adopted disappearing of the Veto, and calling upon
the People to withhold their sufTragos from those
candidates for the Legislature who are known to
sustain the principals thus ayowcd by the Presi-
dcnt.-BaihmOrc Patriot.

The FEro AT Sr. LouIs-The Veto was re-
ceivcd at st. Louis, with great disapprobaton. On
the 9th July, great meeting was held, and very
able address TO the People Of Missouri published.
DIR. VIM. Carr Line, former adhereDt of Jack
son presided, and the Meeting was addressed with
great power by Edward Bates, and Henry S. Coy
or, Esqrs. The 81. louis Beacon has aburcd Jack
son. The Address asserts that notes of the Bank of
tho u States, the general currency in Missouri
which withdrawn, would leave the country in
the most deplorable condition. This argument adj
dresses itself to the pocket, to eusry mans interest
and viii provo efficaeious ineligible. Sena-
tor Benton has pushed on 10 Missouri with all de-
spatch, and his presence seems much required to
su stain the falling ofthc whose vicinage
he declared was hell, in which no mans life was
safe from his DULLES, his honor from his fabrca
tors of certificates. (See the Colonels pathetic
letter to his brother Jessc.)
Colonel Bentons election recurs at the next ses
sion of the Legislature, and the signs seem unfavo
rable to him. The Jackson Candidates for the Lie.
gislature in several instances, have addressed the
People through the newspapers, and in all which
we have examined, the authors decline committing
themselves on the question of SENATOR course
which If Benton were very popular, they would
hardly be so particular and emphatic in declaring
Missouri, as to the Presidential Election, NAV DO
classed among the most doubtful States.

1--WE direct attention to tho proceedings of the
Common Hall with unusual satisfaction. .Mca.
sures seem to be adopted which will prove CT
fectual, and which will allay much of the public
uncasincss. The safety of the People is the SUI.
preme law. It the maxim is true in times of ordi-
nary peril, how much truer is it when menaccd by
danger the most appalling which ever sunk the
hearts of mankind. Squcamishness as to the
right to the of public buildings when the lives
of the people are in jeopardy, appears to us most
untimoly. They belong TO the people, and when
they want them, who shall say nay?
