ment as they experienced. Thousands
Of people were present, and the most
popular whig in The city presided. Mr..
e. ID. Mansfield, A. S. Sullivan, and
Governor Morehead, of Kentucky made
felicitous speeches. The latter said, "the
election of Gen. Scott was fixed fact. !"
Mr.. CHARLTON, young Kentuckian,
pledged that State for twenty thousand
for Scott. He was followed by Mr..
Gibbons, an lrishman, with all an Irish
mans fervor in the cause he cspoused.
lie proceeded to give his reasons for
supporting Scott and Graham in prefer
ence TO the nominees of the Democratic
party, SO called. Scott. though slaunch
Protestant, was catholic man-ca,hol-
ic, in tha, his soul was large enough to
tolerate every form of honestly enter
tained religious belief. Applause, and
cries of "sure, and aint we all going for
him" When the corrupt and pe1ured
English Government would, with char
acleristic cowardice in crushing fallen
foe. have shot the Irish prisoners taken
in the last war with that country, Gen.
Scott stood upon the quarter deck Of an
English man.of war-dy'e mind that
boys!--on an English man.of fVar-
and told the epauleted hirelings of that
damnable Government, that for every
lrishman shot, two BRUSH officers should
bite the dust Enthusiastic and long
continued cheers for Scott. That
daunlless bearing saved nv countrymen.
And can | forget the magnanimous ac-
lions of the conqueror of Mexico, who
secured 10 vanquished people all the
rights of property and-more than this
--all the rights and privileges of free
and unrestricted worship! Never!--
Gentlemen. my father fought under Gen.
Scott on the battle field, and, if il please
God, | am going TO fight for him in this
political campaign. Cheers.
Mr.. Gibbons alluded to the clause in
the constitution of New Hampshire
that State in which Gen. Pierce is said
to have been the leading polltician--dis-
franchising all of his faith, and declar-
ing that the arch enemies of his dearly
loved Ireland-Lord Lyndhurst (hisscs)
or Lord Clarendon (groans) or the Duke
OF Wellingion-should as soon receive
his.yote as this same Franklin Pierce.
