TO THE PUBLIC.

TO THE PUBLIC.
W., the undersigned, residents and voters OF the
city of New York, Brooklin and Williamsburgh,
natives ofIreland, have seen, with some surprise,
the attempt made by certain parties in this CITY,
who are neither citizens nor voters to dictate 70
us, older and we presume, quite as well informed
residents or this Metropolis, how we should vote IN
the coming Presidential election.
We beg 10 say that we place no reliance IN state
ment put f:rth'sby one who is not even himself
Citizen speaking through "neutral paper, whose
columns have been purchased for the purpose, ana
impudently assuming to speak for the naturaliZed
citizens OF New York. J I IL ~ ~ LIZ |
Now, we beg to say that we will vote for Win
field Scott and against en- Pierce, for the follow
ing among other reasons which are so plain as to
commend themselves TO the approval OF every
citizen:s. -r..r-. ma g,,s, sy.xsf.ss,..i
Winfield Scott is in favor Of principles laid down
and advocated in Ireland by such men as Lucas,
Swift, Grattan, O'Connell and Meaghsi, IN favor
of protection to home industry; while Franklin
Pierce is III favor of the doctrines of the London
Times, which would follow the Celt, whom he had
hunted from house and home, from the island OF his
birth into this country, and here, beneath the very
wings of the American eagle, make him machine
for consuming British manufactures, aud thereby
make him sustain the very policy which had hunt
ed him from his home
Because Winfield Scott is in favor Of, and Frank
lin Pierce is opposed to, internal improvements,
by which the laborer can make money with which
to commence the world; and of such disposition
of the public lands will secure comfortable, Tree
and independent homes for the honest laborer.
That Winfield Scott has been, for forty years,
before the public, distinguished alike in war and
peace the great benefactor and most beloved of
soldiers, both by naiuralized and native citizens;
while Franklin Pi,rce has never done anything to
endear him to the countryo or to its citizens cihei
native or adopted u ..a--Ho u '''
We shall vote for Winfield Scott because he has
proved himself the friend of his country and all its
citizens, no matter what soil they were born or
from what nation they came co." |,.'l
| His noble conduct at the prison ship, at Qubec
| when British mniOns assumed the right to execute
lrshmen for being found in arms against England,
especially endears lin to every Trishman who has
| an honest heart in his bosom.
Who, that claims to be an American citizen, does
not point with pride TO that page of the history Of
the United States. made glorious by the courage
and bravery of the faithful soldier. , 5,..
For ourselves, feel that it is only to such men
| rs Winfield Scott that the nation can look with
safety in her hour of trial and danger; man who
has proved his proves by coping successfully with
England, IN her day of pride and power, and
whose whole life has been devoted to the service
of his country.
We will vote for Winfield Scott because he has
always respected the religious opinions of those
with whom he came in cantact, and always used
his power and influence to protects the affairs of
all creeds from dissertation. In this respect, the
life of Winfield Scotti stands out in bold relief, as
compared with the narrow minded bgCtry of New
Hampshire, the native State of Franklin Pierce, a
State always under tue dominion of his party and
political ASSOCIATION and which is now the only
State in the whole Confederacy where men are
prescribed on account of their religious faith.
| 1t will not do for the friends of Pierce 10 urge
that he was i'll favor of cxpunging this odous re-
sriction from the Constitution of the State. The
evidence Oehis abOrS So 10 do is wanting. '
