UA certain Democratic editor up above
Louisville, is exceedingly sensitive about
some things wherein men generally are cal
lous, and not at all sensitive in others in
which men Of fine moral feelings are extreme
ly delicate. When struck where no other
individual would reel the blow, he quivers in
his agony, and fatal consequences are threat
ened-but when hit where a sensitive man
would and should feel doubly injured, he
does not seem to feel it. In this he reminds
us of the darby who tumbled from three
story building and lit on a pavement head
foremost. He Jumped Up and rubbing his
weol furiously, exclaimed:
"Bless de Lord it want de nigger's shin

him, but hit him in the region of his shns
and he is gone sucker.

Gen. Scott ana yrishmcn.

The Irishmen are coming up strongly to
the support of Scott. AS Wing, it does US
good to witness the expressions of enthusl'
asm coming from Irishmen for Scott. through
an hundred channels. We have heard it in
our own town from Irish Democrats, and
abroad through the papers. But the warinest
manifestations yet in this way, were from
Irish Democrats, at the late Wing meeting in
Cincinnati. Hundreds of Irishmen were
there, and did the loudest cheering, who had
formerly been ranked as Democrats. Below,
We give an extract from speech made by an
Irishman, which shows what some of these
men from the old country think. We make
the extract from the report published in q
neutral paper:
"Mr. GIBBoN, an Irishman, and with all an
Irishman's iervOr in the cause he espouses,
was the next speaker. He,proceeded to give
his reasons Tor supporting Scott and Graham
in preference to the nomination Of the Dem
ocratic party, so called. Scott, though a
staunch Protestant, was q catholic man
catholic, IN that his soul was large enough to
tOitIdlc every uOHCSliy CutCit@ihSu oShSi'
Applause, and cries of "sure, and amt we
all gong for him!"] When the corrupt and
perjured English Government would. with
characteristic cowardice in crushing u fallen
foe, have shot the Irish prisoners taken in the
last war with that county, Gen. Scott stood
upon the quarter deck vi all English man-oi-
war-dy'e mind that, boys!-on an English
man-of- Uar-and told the epauletted hireiings
of that damnable Government, that, for erery
freshman shot, hro British officers should bite
the dust. Enthusiastic and long continued
cheers for Scott. That dauntl,ss bearing
saved my countrymen. And can forget the
magnanimous actions of the conqueror of
Mexico, who secured to a vanqui,hed 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, ana, ii II please God, | am going
to hight Tor him in this political campaign.-

But the democracy do not present Gen.
Pierce as great warrior; only as states
man devoted to principle.-l Henderson Ban.
All, that's the tune now, is it! And to
what principle is this great statesman devo-
ted! The principle of opposing everything
calculated to promote the interests of the
West, seemed to govern Pierce's conduct
while in Congress. On every occasion he
voted against appropriations for improving
the rivers and harbors Of the West, even
when the bills met with Gen. Jackson's ap-
proval. He even voted against the Cumber-
land Road in which Indiana had so great an
interest, and which almost every Democratic
Congressman of Ohio and Indiana warmly
supported. ghss is the principle to which
this terrible statesman was devoted while in
Congress-opposing the West at every
crook and turn. He even made a speech
against the relief of Gen. Harrson's aged
widow, shameful and disgusting devotion
to principle" on his part. The West, and
particularly Indiana does not want such a
man as Pierce to be elevated to the Presi.

An intelligent gentleman from Illinois was
in our Office yesterday, and speaking warmly
of the enthusiasm in illinois for Scott and
Graham. He says the nomination of that
ticket, has at least made Illinois debateable
ground, and he would not be astonished if
Scott carried the State. He says there is
much better feeling for him than there was
for Taylor, while Pierce has fewer friends
than had Cass. The Democrats there have
hard work to swallow the nomination ofPierce,
and many of them utterly refuse to do it. In
our informant's own neighborhood, he says
there arc twenty or thirty prominent Demo-
cr,ts, who have always been devoted to their
party, and swallowed every convention nomi-
nation, now utterly refuse to go for Pierce
They give as a reason, that they will yotefor
no man who has shown himself such an en-
envy to Western Interests as has Gen. Pierce.
That he has opposed the West every time be
had a chance, and that now they intend as
Western men to oppose him. That's the
right feeling, unless they possess that Chris
tian feeling which will permit them to turn
the other cheek to Mr.. Pierce because he has
struck them blow on the first They have
now chance to pay him for the injury he has
done them, and they will be unjust to them
selves ifthey do not now settle this debt
But set down Illinois as all right.
