Enthusiastic RaIly--lrishlnen for Scott


Enthusiastic Rally --Irishmen for Scott.
The SCoTT and GRAHAM rally at Empire
Hall on Saturday evening was large and enthu-
sastic. The hall was densely crowded, and
two.thirds of the audience were lrishmen, for
it had been announced that Professor J. X
FITZGERALD would speak. He man in whom
his countrymen can place the most pct con-
tdence. A graduate OF Dublin University, his
literary attachments gave him an eminent posi-
ton. AS Reporter in Parliament for many
years he could not fail TO be conversant with
the politics of England and Ireland. An Irish
man by birth, and patriot by nature, he deep.
y sympathsed with O'BRlEE, MEAGHER and
their compstrlots.
Landing upon new, though hospitable shore
working man as he was he sought an indepen.
dent livelihood from his own exertons, and as
reported went to West Point to report the ex-
animation of cadets, &c. There he became
personally acquainted with Gen. SCOTT and
learned to appreciate his patriotism, his manl.
ness, his love of country, and his regard for the
rights of American citizens, native or adopted.
His speech was eloquent, representative,
convincing and every point told upon his
hearers, who responded with cheers loud and
hearty. The day has gone by when the Irish
,
and unmeaning professions of the sham de-
mocracv and nine out OF len of them will vote
for WIHFIELp ScoTI, the man VINO at the peril
Of his own life, when prisoner; told the En-
gsh captain that for every Irish prisoner he
executed an Englishman should swing from
The gaIows.
