Tom Murray then appeared on the stand
and stated his intintlon to worm round the
meeting like a sarpint and wien he hac them
in lis coil, to charm them by his eloquence
He had come to California before most of the
crowd were horn, aLG used to get @ hide day
for his pay. He gave description of the days Of
early California and TIE Digger Indians, when
he starved to death several times by bis account
and was resusitated by the genuine whiskey
Not coming to the subject in hand, the crowd
called for Acklan1, who again appeared and
remarked his friend Murray had agreed to sup.
port his ideas, but had not done it to any pur.
pose. "Hav mt now !'' responded Murray.
The Capt, reiterated his assertion and again
pitched into the K NJ to the obvious delight
Of The crowd, who called out, "go it old boy,
Your one of 'em Cap" "Am tho " said the
orator. 1 believe you re all bloody Know Moth
ings "Let any man who belongs to the Pha'
lanx take off his hat" Not hat stirred but
Murrays. "Al ye Know Nothings take of
ger hats" The Capt had his hat in hand, end
was the only one uncovered, and the crowd
called out he was the OILY Know Nothing press
ent That was a stumper, but the Capts EN-.
tarras3mcat was Just then relired by al ex>
temporaneous dog fight.
Some degree Of order being restored, Cren-
shaw was loudly called for, but did not come
to the rescue of his friends. Shipley was then
called for, but did not take the stand. The
Capt. then read tire resolutions following, but
the noise was so great that little Of what lie
read vas heard. We have however secured q
copy:
y EAereas, A secret association exists which
mas swallowed up, body end SOUL. three fourths
of the native boru citizens Of The United States,
and whereas BY bcid AID unwarrantablc as
sumption of rights, not acknowledged to be-
long to tie Americans exclusively, by the ior-
eigners on American soil and whereas. having
in times gone by done difers and sundry jobs
for The Democratic party, which the native
members of that party even would not demean
themselves tc do, and fer which an eternal
debt of gratitude IS dre US to be paid in Offices
at the next election, and whereas, the only
hope Of obtaining the Offices for which ne have
not only left the bogs o. Ireland, but Lave ex-
ercised the rights of f:eemcn and civilized be-
ings at the polls N America before our lime
lies in tie great Dimmycratic party, therefore

Pesotred, That we will use cur best eldeav-
ors, to initiate The example of our patron Saint
in expellilg the toads and snakes from ireland
by diving the bloody Know n othings ou. Of
The State.
Resolved, That at the next election we will
bully Naive Americans al the polls as has
heretofore been our custom. that we will b, aak
open the panitentaries and let the swarms oI
our oppressed couatrymen, come forth 20 puri-
f. the ballotbox from the polIutions Of tk3
Thugs anC give success to The great Dimmy-
cratic party, that promises US our full share OF
the pllnd +.
Resolred, Thai Native Americans by as
suming the name of Know Nothings, acknowl-
edge their inability to govern themselves, and
therefore for the sake Of preserving American
freedom, we foreigners, though in a minority,
bind ourselves firmly together, to take posses
sion of the ballot boxes and the government at
next election.
ReSoired That our motto shall be ERIN go

pect, with the aid of our shillaleys, to pum-
nell the Know Nothings 10 death.
AT the conclusion of the reading some evil
disposed persons began throwing about sundry
dirty rags, &C., and the orators left the stand.
Most Of the crowd then dispersed but the
speakers not having expressed all their ideas
again came forward. Bunches fire crackers
were then exploded in close proximity to the
stand, and the great demonstration of the
Phalanx Democracy came to an end. Alto
gether the occasion was amusing and instruc.
tive, and it will not be doubted will help roll
up votes for the Dimocratic partly in the
fall.
We regret to say that Alick Shankton de-
faulted with the funds collected at the previous
meeting, and it is feared spent them in con-
juction with the President. for whiskey.
