Discussion Mt smIthvllIc.


We learn that on Monday evening last political
discussion took place at the Court House in Smthvlle
between Gen. Wnslow, the Scott elector. and NJ B..
Smith, Esq, of Wilmington. 1t occupied over three
hours and the building was crowded during the whole
lime Mr.. Winslow opened with an attempt to create
prejudice against the gentleman opposed TO him by
sneering illusions TO the State of New Hampshire OF
which MIR Smith, well as Gen. Pierce is native.
in this happy 10 say that he failed. while the
eloquent and scathng rejonder which it drew from
Mr. Smith warmly applauded BY all present, both
Wings and Democrats.
MIR. Winsow did not come up TO the discussion of
the real issues involved in the present canvass Apart
from the appeal the preudces of sectional birth
his discourse was composed wholly of the usual staple
of Chippewa. Chepuepec Co.. spiced with certain
denuncations of the Democrats generally and partcu-
larry, according TO the custom in such cases.
Mr. Smith replied to the personal illusions to his
own birth place. in manner that left his friends
fully satisfied and bis opponents convinced that they
had walked up the wrong passenger. When ne LET,

State, and was not tainted for his Southern birth
When he left his native State to come South he car
ried with him none of those little petty preudices
that are unworthy citizens of great country and
unworthy the presidential elector Of great party
and certainly he did not act like General Scott who
turned his back on his native South and Joined with
her worst foes at the North. He knew General
Pierce to be true man. and so long as remain a
united people, truth and reliability and not geograph
cal lines should be the test when it became other

The hurry of other matters has crowded out no
tees our home movements during the past week
On Wednesday the Pierce and King Club held a
meeting at & New Town. Mr. A. 7. McCallum
was called upon and maie capital talk of about
three quarters of hour, during which time he was
repeatedly cheered. After Mr.. McCallum had con-
cuded the editor of the Journal made few remarks
in answer to a call made upon him, after which
q procession was formed and marched through some
of the principal streets On Friday, the regular
meeting of the Club was held at Maj Walkers yard,
on Princess street. NJ. B. Smith, Esq, was called
upon and made an able and telling speech, laying
bare the rottennes of the Scott movement in all its
deformity and calling upon every lover of the
stitution to support Pierce and King He concluded
by reading the following able and eloquent letter
from Judge Strange:
