During the course of his speech, Mr..
HUNT made many severely intended allu.
sions to Mr.. BENJAMIN and his late letter
intimating that Mr.. BIS sole reason for Cd.
posing the Know Nothcngs, was the fact
that he himself was foreigner" and had
nothing to expect from that party. He
called him, with sneering emphasis, the
aatarasise3 Senator of Louisiana" This
we regretted to see in Mr.. HUNT; for he
must know that the people have not forgot.

tor for the nomination for Senator by the
Wings, but three years ago, when they were
both prominent members of that party;
that Mr.. b. was nominated over him, and
was elected with the full acquiescence of
himself as a wing; and that Mr.. B. has not
done anything since to forfeit Mr.. HUNT's
confidence in him as a achig. Three years
ago, Mr.. Hunt, u whig, had nothing to say
against the election by the Wing party Of
Mr.. BENJAMIN, foreign.born citizen; but
to-day, Mr.. Hunt, a know nothing, can
find no. subject, so meet for his eloquent
dcnunciation as the ignorant foreigners"
"vile scum" "venal scoundrels," &C., and
docs not seem at all solicitous to except
Mr.. BENJAMIN from any of those catcgories.
Other portions of Mr. HUNTS speech
we will notice anon. One thing, however,
we will notice here as it has been sub
.icct of considerable enquiry in other parts
of the state, Mr.. Hunt distinctly declared
that Mr.. DERDIGNY, the know nothing can.
didate for Governor, was Catholic. Mr..
DERBiGNY had declared, said Mr.. H., that
he had never heard anything in his party
against his (Mr. D's.) religion. The Amer.
lean candidates for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, and believe for Auditor, are
Cathohics said Mr. Hunt.
1t is due to Mr.. IL. to say that he lost
his entire notes in coming from New Or.

spoke at considerable disadvantage; having
to use mostly for his facts such campaign
statements as are floating about in the
know nothing papers.
