 No sooner than was the meeting organized than there the most deafeaing cals from every part Of the houss for Jesse Turner, Esq, who arose to speak amidst the cheers cf the entire assembly. We regret our inability to report tn full his speech, characterized as it was with sound, common senss views in regard to the history, present condition, and prospects of the Ceifie Nation.
 Gen. Claude Jones, Of Fort smith, being provi. dentia present, was then called for, who took the stand and made of the most eloquent and patr- otic appeals to the American people in behalf of the Irish patriots, that was ever made in our young city.
 Col. J. 3. Gcgden, being called upon. made the closing speech. ItnPpoascd the gallant Colonel had ibibed largely Of the spirit of the occasion as he was exceedingly happy aud eloquent In many of his
 
 Iiish nation.
 Some effort was made 10 call out our fellow eili- zen John Austin, but he excused himself by saving that his sympathy for his Irish brethren was too deep to be expressed Ia the English language.
