Irishmen for Scott.

Abiding 10 the triendllness of large
numbers of our irish citizens towards
General ScoTT, and Their determination
to abandon locoloco alliances thai they
may render to him substantial support,
the editor of the Ohio State Journal
who was amongst the visitors to the
Niagara gathering, says:
1--WE saw several striking instances Of
this feeling during our recent trip. On
Tuesday morning, as the Northern h.
diana was approaching Buffalo. with at
least 1900 people on board-there
was much enthusiasm and several
speeches. One of the speakers said that
a large number of Democrats had come
out boldly, and declared they should
vote for Gen. ScoTr Near the outside
Of the crowd was dlsconSolate looking
locotoco, who attempted 10 keep his
spirits up by getting into controversy.
He declared that this assertion was false,
that they could not point out Demo-
Graf who would vote for Scott.
This was bringing matters to test.
instantly, an lrishman from Cleveland,
heavy contractor, and one who yields
very large influence, mounted the
chair and informed the gentlemen that
he was one of that class-that he had
always been a Democrat, and that he
should vote for General Scott. He
wanted to know what Mr.. Pierce had
ever done that any body should vote for
him! He gave the locotoco challenger
regular broadside of eloquent talk.
No sooner had he closed, than another
lrishman mounted the stand, and declar-
ed that he was a Democrat and should
vote for Gen. Scott. The huzzas that
followed this announcement, had scarce
ly subsidized when a third lrishman
mounted the chair, and shaking his fist
in an excited manner at the locotoco
Pierce man, said, 81 too, shall vote for
Gen. Scott. | have always been a
Democrat, and | am as good looking a
man as you are, any day"
This was clincher. The steamer
resounded with shouts, and the poor
discounted loco left, not desiring any
other or further demonstration that he
was in the wrong pew"

WHOLE No SIT
Of Aliens by the New
Hampshire Democracy.

The letter written by resident of Con-
cord, N. H., from which we yesterday
derived detailed statement ofthe trick
cry and intolerance OF the Democracy
of that State on the religious test ques-
ton, establishes specifically another
charge against the same party in a mat
ter OF deep interest TO our adopted cit-
zens. We extract the following, in
reference to the treatment experienced
by lrishmen at the hands of General
PlERcE's friends. 1t is an instructive
commentary upon Democratic preten-
sions:
AT the March meeting in Concord,
n. H., in 1888, great struggle occurr-
ed to see which of the parties could OBJ
tam the votes of the unnaturalzed for
eigners to aid in eIecting moderator
and town officers, as it was understood
such could vote for such officers. Owing
to the illberality of the Locofoco party
IN that place-the residence now of the
Democratic nominee tor the Presidency
seventeen lrshmen, not naturalized,
voted the Wing ticket, and but six the
Democratic ticket: and this was about a
fair sample of this class OF foreigners in
other parts Of the State; and. as they
could not be induced to vote as the par
ty in power in the State endeavored to
make them vote, the very next session
OF the Legislature law was passed de-
nvIng them the right to vote at all. as
they previously had right to vote; and
this law was approved July 4, 1893, by
Isaac Hill, then Governor of the State
"Now, here is practical illustration
OF the treatment of aliens by New Hamp-
shire Democracy, and that as late as
as late as 1885 a law was passed de-
privins them of rights, aye, of the i'm
portant right of suffrage, which until
that time they had enjoyed under the
constitution OF the State"

SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST 81 1852

"Oh, | will be calm and prudent"
Yet, even while she spoke, her frame
quivered with excitement.
But she controlled herself when the
moment Of meeting came, and, though
her unexpected appearance produced a
shock, it was salutary rather than inju-
rlous.
"My dear, dear Agnes!' said Edward

sat alone in the chamber Of pleasant
house in New York, 81 owe YOU my

probability, now be sleeping the sleep

As Marvel uttered the last sentence, a
troubled expression fitted over his coun-
tenance. Agnes gazed tenderly into his
face, and asked
"Why this look of doubt andanxietyr

turned the young man. at is, thus far,
no better with me than when | left cur
old home. Though health is coming
back through every fibre, and my heart
is filled with eager desire to relieve these
kind friends Of the burden of our sup
port, yet no prospect opens"
No cloud came stealing darkly over
the face of the young wife. The sun
shine, so far from being dimmed was
brighter.
''Let not your heart be troubled," said
she, with beautiful smile. "All will
come right"
"You need depend but little while
longer. | have already made warm
friends here, and, through them, secured
for you employment. A good place
awaits you so soon as strength to fill it
comes back to your weakened frame"
"Angel!" exclaimed the young man,
overcome with emotion at SO unexpected
a declaration.
"No, not an angel calmly replied
Agnes, ''only wife. And now, dear
Edward" she added, "never again, in
any extremity, think for a moment of
meeting trials or enduring privations
alone. Having taken wife, you cannot
move safely on your journey unless she
moves by your side"
"Angel! Yes, you are my good an
gel, repeated Edward.
"Call me what you WILL" said Agnes,
with a sweet smile, as she brushed, with
her delicate hand, the hair from his
temples; "but let me be your wife. |

Forgotten Facts.

In the House of Representatives, on the
9th December, 1898, FRANKLuN PIERCE
uoted against a resolution for the bene-
fit of the old fighters in the Indian wars.
On the 18th of the following Februa-
ry, Mr.. PIERCE voted against bill eX-
tending the operation of an act giving
pecuniary relief to "surviving officers,
non-commissioned officers, musicians,
soldiers, and Indian spies of the old
Continental line or State troops, volun-
teers or militia" who had served two
years during the war of the Revolution,
and had not been provided for by the
act of 1928.
In 1886 Mr.. PIERCE repeated his vote
agaanst an act d" for the relief Of CERTAIN
officers and soldiers of the revolution"
In the Senate, in 1911, Mr.. PIERCE
opposed bill giving five years half.pay
to widows or orphans of officers, non
commissioned officers, soldiers, &C.,
who had died in the service of the
United States after the Goth of April,
1918.
These votes of Mr.. PIERCE illustrate
the magnanimity of his political career.
They show his friendship for the few
remaining patriots who had purchased
our Liberties with their blood, and the
strength OF his regard for women and
children whose protectors had sacrificed
their lives in the service Of their coun-
try. Mr.. PlEscE's principles of govern
mental economy recognized no claim
on their part to consideration at the
hands of Congress. The idea of reliev-
ing soldiers disabled in war, and of
succorlng soldiers widows and orphans,
had no place in the creed of the present
Democratic candidate for the Presiden-
cy.-RepuJiic.

Gen. ScoTT AND THE RETURNED MEX-
lcAN NoLUNrEERs. From every quar-
ter, saws the Danville Dcmocror, we
learn that the returned volunteers, who
fought and bled under the gallant Scott
during the Mexican war, are warmly
engaged in the cause of their old below
ed leader. In Pittsburg, in Pottsville,
in Reading, and, indeed, wherever they
are scattered throughout the country,
irrespective of party, they are enrolling
again in his ranks, we'll aware that I'M
der his lead they will and must march
on to victory.
Iii corroboraticn OF the above remarks,
we subjon the following extract from
letter, written by Mr.. jerome Conkle,
who served in the "Columbia Guards"
during the Mexican campaign, to bro
ther soldier of this place. 1t speaks for
itself:
"MoNroURsvILLr, July -, 1852
"SlR; sit myself down to salute
you upon the nomination of General
Scott for the Presidency. don't know
Whtther you are w hlg or Democrat,
but | have known that you stood BY Gen
eral Scott in several important battles
in Mexico, and | have every reason to
believe that you will not desert him in
his political campaign. For my part
am Democrat, and intended to vote
the whole democratic ticket at the next
election; but when heard of the nomi-
nation of Gen. Scott, for the Presiden-
cy, | telt just like as | did a few mo-
ments after the heights of Chapult~pec
were carried, and couldn't help but
give three cheers for General Scott.
trust there are none of the "Columbin
Guards" that stood by General Scott
in Mexico that will prove traitors to
him in this his very last campaign.

ANEcDoTE OF HENRY CLAY.-A few
years since, a friend gave us the follow
ing account of very interesting pas
sage at arms, of which he was an eye
witness, between Henry Clay and John
G. Calhoun, when the latter was Vice
President, and the presiding officer of
the Senate, of which Mr. Clay was at
that time member. 1t occurred during
one of the many famous tariff contro-
versies in which they engaged during
their Senatorial careers. Clay had the
floor; his audience had become little
wearied with the statistical argument he
had'been pursuing, and failed to bestow
the attention to which he was accustom-
ed when he occupied the floor.
He discovered this as soon as any one,
but it was not his way to talk long to an
inattentive audience. He paused mo-
ment, long enough to attract the atten-
ton of Senators, while he very deliber-
atelv drew his snuff box from his pocket,
opened it, took from it daintily pinch,
and replaced it in his pocket He then
proceeded, very slowly, as follows:
(snutfng)-"l was happy to
perceive, Mr.. President (snuti) that in
the remarks which have fallen from the
chair--(snutD nothing has been said
against the constitutionality of the tariff
laying great emphasis on the word con-
stItut;onality, and taking long snuff at
the close.
CALHoUN-(Speaking with vehemence)
off the gentleman from Kentucky refers
to anything that has fallen from the
chair, the chair begs to inform the gem
tleman from Kentucky that he thinks
the tariff decidedly unconstitutional"
CLAy-"Alas; then sir, am reminded
of what within these walls would
gladly forget, the mutabllity of all human
opinions. 1t was in 1916, think, sir
it mas in 1916, the chair was the
most eloquent champion of principles
far different from those it is now pleased
to prolsss."
CALuouN-(Much excited.) "The
chair begs to inform the gentleman from
Kentucky that the constitutionalty of
the tariff was not discussed in 1876"
CLAY -"True," said Mr. Clay, stretch
ing up to his full height, and raising his
voice till it rang through every arch IN
the capitol, at the same time directing
his fiery gaze at the Vice President,
"True, sir, the cons.itutionalty of the
tariff was not discussed in 1916, for at
that time no statesman could be found
reckless enough to peril his reputation
by disputing it."-Erening Post

AN INSTANCE OF NOZZLE GENER oslry.-
The incidents in the life of FRANKLIN
PIERCE bid fair to be absolutely mex
haustable. The following is related by
correspondent of the ~ Y. Hernld:
81 will tell you an anecdote of Pierce,
which is apprOpos to the senseless charge
of being and arstocrat. A few days ago,
he was in company with two gentlemen
from the South, and one of his fellow
citizens, who was an honest fellow, but
in Gerry plain dress, and even 'out at
the elbows met him; upon which Gem
eral Pierce hook hands with him in a
most friendly manner, just as J'he oas
equal in situation miM himseIt. This
is exactly his disposition"
Shook hands with man who wasn't
his equal! Surely that act Of conde-
scension ought to make him President.
