| Scott newspapers Scott orators are con snu
ally singing out that their candidate made &ech
at Castle Garden, New York, in February $50,
at the great Union meeting, and declared hiHsef
in favor of the Compromise. -
Well, here is his Castle Garden speech, entire,
! from the columns of the New York Mirror, a
I whig paper
FELLOW CITIzENs-Y our kind greeting fills me
with the deepest emotions. I came heresnet ex
pectng to take more than a stand in some corner
of the great hall to witness the proceedings.-
Some kind friend discovered nae below, or should
not have stood in this conspicuous place. did
not expect to address one word to this meeting. [
see before me much of the intelligence, respecta-
bility, and sterling worth ofthis great city, assem-
bled here for the purpose of supporting our great
Union, of whchI am an humble friend and ser
want. do not call myself citizen of the North,
of the South, of the East, or Of the West; but [
have served the Union for forty odd years, and
feel myself citizen Of every part Of it and what
ever life and strength | have shall be devoted to
It's preservation. Feeling that it was in jeopardy,
and that this meeting had assembled to promote
harmony and preserve the Union, came here,
and return you my thanks for the kindness with
which youahaye welcomed me- . -. <~sss
Il am not Aboidonist, nor an advocate OF sia-
!
thought those subjects wonld smiGgated with
each other at thismeeting I-comesnot here as a
Democrat or Whig. ! have attended no party
meeting in forty-lwo years. But when the cry is
that the Union is in danger, and rally is made
10 support it, l would have been coward and a
recreant if had not also rallied!
OF whatever value may be the remainder ofmy
life and none sets more value on it than do, J
| would give it in support of the Union | hope
but 10
to avert this fate, | would be buried beneath its
ruins
l am charmed with the good feeling and uniyer-
sal patriotism which this meeting has exhibited
and God grant that you may devise some plan to
save that Union to which we all, in heart and
| soul, are so much attached
Well, Scott men, what do you think of it ?
Perhaps many of you have been Dragging over a
document you never saw. Is there word in the
speech in favor of the Compromise !? Not one
And when it is remembered, also that this Union
hurrah of Feb. 1850. was over the Omnibas bill
] which did not embrace the Fugitive slave law,
the speech is worth still less Put on your specks
supporters of Scott, and see if you can find any
thing in your Castle Garden speech. 1t is words
: words words-words-th glorious Union :
