The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-05-24

'tfrom Sergeant SHEE's supporters and the cheer
ing, counter-cheering, groaning, counter-groan-
ing that arose from both Sides exceeded any
thing that had ever before been witnessed" 1t
soon became apparent, we are told very naively,
THAT the meeting was composed of two equally
NOISY parties, " and that quiet could not be OBJ
tanned unless one of the opposing candidates should
withdraw, and leave the field to his rival. Father
Tom OSHEA accordingly pressed through the
crowd on the balcony, and, Gin an animated and
administrative manner''-which means we sup
pose, with great vehemence of gesticuIation-n-
sisted that Sergeant SHEE should retire. The
learned Sergeant, however, quietly 'folded his
farms and manfully resolved to remain" where
upon ''Father Tom returned to his own party and
''the uproar, shouts, cheers and groans continued
IA party of 'roughs at this time made their way
''to the platform, and subjected the Sergeant to
''rather rough treatment before'-as we are in
nocently assured-''any effort could be made by
'Mr. MooRE's friends to nterpose." The offenders
were, however, finally removed by the police. But
if order was restored on the balcony there was an
abundance OF fighting in the square below. "The
''two large and apparently organized bodies
''belonging to both parties seemed to rival each
''oher in their efforts to create disorder, and
''they effectually succeeded The bodies frequently
''came into sharp collision, and the constabulary
chad occasionally to interfere to separate the COM
'batants." During these fights the MOORE party
was excited to enthusiasm by large placard,
which was brought into the square, upon which
was printed "Kilkenny to the Rescue" 'Ireland
'for the Irish,' ''Erin go bragh,' &c, &C., but
as the placard bearers approached the SHEE party,
''they were attacked, and overpowered the
''placard was torn down and trampled under foot
''and the board on which it was displayed was
''brokeu into fragments, with which the victors
EARNED themselves amid shouts of triumph"
What follows is intensely Irish. Finding ''that
''there was no prospect of obtaining order" they
did what? resolved to adjourn the meeting? No!
''they forthwith proceeded TO organize" appointed
a Chairman, and then, Sergeant SIIEE from one end
of the balcony, and Mr.. MOORE from the other,
commenced simultaneously TO address the assem-
blage below. Of course the result of this ar
rangement was that the speeches of both, in the
midst of the shouts, groans, cheers and confu-
sion generally, were only audible at uncertain
intervals of time From the fragments that
DNSh
the Kilkenny papers, it is evident that both gen.
tlemen were far more personal in their remarks
than argumentative. "Let me tell you who this
"Mr. MOORE is" shouted the learned Sergeant,
during lull in the storm, and then he went on
amidst cheers, and groans, and Kisses, to inform
his auditors that Mr.. MOORE was IA Mayo man.
that he was "a rank Tory" that he voted against
Lord GEORGE BENTINcK's bill when the famine was
in Ireland, which bill, by authorizing the con-
struction of railroads in Ireland, would have
caused the expenditure of fifteen millions of
pounds sterling among the famine-stricken people:
and that, in refusing to vote for the bill, he-Mr.
MooRE-''had denied to the starving people of his
Gown country what would have given them the
'necessaries of life." During this damaging state
ment Mr. MOORE was heard to say at the other
end of the balcony-'T have been counting the
persons that Sergeant SHEE has brought here to
disturb the meeting, and I find on that side one
"hundred and fifty blackguards. tell him from
this place that he will not get a vote in this
County Let all those who respond to that hold
''up their hands" At this invitation there was
general show of hands; but it was noticed that
the hands belonging to Sergeant She's party had
shilleahs in them. Sergeant SHEE was next heard to
say-"This man" (MooRE) chad small estate
Sin the County of Mayo, and he ground the people
down to the lowest depths Of here a fight
ensued. Shortly afterwards the voice of Mr. MOORE
was heard above the din, denouncing the parlia-
mentary career of SHEE. ''He had," exclaimed
MOORE, 'inSulted the noblest priests upon earth,
''and now he caps the climax of his shame by
bringing together lot of men-God forgive me
''for calling them men-a lot of beings that | be-
'lieve no other respectable man in his profession
"would deign to address," Then followed the
usual row. After which Father Tom O'SHEA
got up and advised the people Ito send SHEE to
''the Orangemen of Dolly's Brae, where he ought
ITO be, and closed his brief remarks by saying:
