What Irisltmen think of Gen. Scott.-_——At
a Whig meeting in Cincinnati, recently, a
young Irishman named Gibbons, made a
speech, which t.he:Atlas reports as follows:
“ Mr. Gibbon, an Irishman, and with all
an lrislimaifs fervor in the cause he espouses,
was the next speaker. He pI‘0ct‘e(l8(l to give
his reasons for supporting Scott and Graham
in preference to the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party, so called. Scott though a staunch
Pl‘0tt'Slal),_l, was a catholic man—catholic, in
that his soul was large enough to tolerate eve-
ry forni of honestly entertained religious be-
lief. [Applause and cries of, “ sure and aim
we all going for bini !”] When the corrupt
and perjuri--d_English Government would, in
cliarncteristic cowardice in crushing a fallen
foe, have shot the liish prisoners taken in
the last will‘ with that country, Gen. Scott
stood upon the quarter deck of an “English
man of viar——dy’e mind that boys ?— on an
English. man of'u~ar—and told the epaulcttcd
hire-lings of that damnable Government. that
for eireiy I ris/nnan sliot, two Britisli. (fitters
S/tottltl bize the (lust ! [Enthusiastic and long
continued cheeringifor Scott ] That daunt-
less bearing saved my countrymen. And
can I forget the inagnanimous actions of the
conqueror of Mexico, who secured to a van-
quished people all the rights of property, and
—more than thls—ull the rights and privile-
ges of free and unrestrained worship? Nev-
erl Genilemea. My father fought under
Gen. Sc.-aton the bziule, fir-ld, and, if it please
God, I am going to fight for him in this polit-
ical campaign. (Cheers)

-‘T-Ilang Pierce, too Colom»l."——Col J i-f‘l'e.r-
son Davis recently made a political speech
before the Granite Club at Memphis. As the
report goeo, he first pitched into Gen. Scott,
and then alluded to Mr. Graham in this wise:
‘‘_He believed Mr. Graham was a gentleman
ofunimpeachable honor. He could say noth-
ing against him, except that he was found in
vet y bad company. 'l‘hough Mr. G. had hf-‘ltl
several prominent stations, yet no act of his
had ever attracted his observation so as to
make any marked impression, and he would
say to him as Johnny Brown said of his dog,
vi hen asked why he was going to hang him—-
tbat he had never“ done anytliing !” “Yes,”
said John, “tliat is the reason I am going to
hang him.” Here the author is said in have
made one of those emphatic pauses indicative
Lia! a proper response is desired from the au-
dience. The responcc was not delayed.”-—

EMISCELLANY.
From the N. Y. ’I'ribu7ze.
. 'l‘he“,Bnttle of Niagara.
Along where wild Niagara
Sends up its ceaseless ioar,
There came a glittering army,
All in t.lie days of yore,
Saint. George’s Cross was flaunting
With many a haughty fold,
On gorgeous banners woven,
\Vilh woof of shining golil.
Thier ranks, bright lined with scarlet,
VVere ranged in proud array,
And war-steeds, gnily prancing,
Led on the glorious way;
Andjeweled bills were flashing,
And waving pluiiies were there,
And bursts of martial music
Rang on the morning air.
Lo I from the land of freedom:
Brave yeomiary there came,
Who fought not for dominion,
Nor yet for fleeting fame,
VVith hearts that knew no quailing
Before the pageant lhrong,,,
And sinewi that ()p|)I'PSSI0l]
Had rendered doubly strong.
..."..
The mid-day saw tliem:gathei'ed
‘ In battle’s stern array,
Still fierce amid the fray;
All warmly ebben the life-tide
From many a tlirobbingivein,
And wrilliinggtorins were trampled
Upon the gory plain.
The sun. that set in glory
Amid the wrealliimg clouds
A nioment paused and painted
That dezitli-field on his slirod;
And then his briglit. eye faded.
And calmly, on his lireast
He wrapped his robe of crimson,
And sank away to rest.
The hours of evening galliered
Swift on the day|iglit.’s clnse;]
Clad in her niisly gariiienls
The pole, wan moon ai'ose;]
Her dim light fall but faintly
And filfully between
The rolling oftbe war-clouds
That; wrapped the fearful scetie.
She saw the dying sti'iiggle
Wit.li‘.}iigonizing tliroes,
And in thier sleep eternal
. Behold the dead repose ;]
Her!-, bv his gun the soldier
Lay still‘ upon the plain.
And there the dealli-cold rider
"Still grasped the bloody rein.
Night deepened (lfll‘l\':&lll(I gloomy,
Upon the battle-fie-ld,
And liziyoiiets still were clashing,
And still the caution pealcd;
Tliere was no light to gniile thorn,
Save. like the -l|1(‘.lP()l"s glare,
Red ilcatli-flames wildly leaping
Alongthe murky air.
Then cliiirged Columbia's freemen
For liberty and right,
Then stormed brave Miller, fiercely,
The cannon-planted llfllglll;
Thou, ’neatli his starry banners’
The gallant Sco'r'r below,
Swept with his trusty followers,
Upon the wavering ice.
The midnight stars looked cheerless,
Above the gory bed,
\Vhei'e gnlla nl forms were sleeping,
Now numbered with the dead;
There was no din ofliattle,
Nor music’s martialistrain,
But. the still, cold air breathed gently
Alongjtlie dewy plain
The \Varrior, deadly wounded‘
Tliouglit, of hislioino, and wept;
Upon his couch the weary
Stink heavily and slept ;
The sentinel, slow pacing,
Heard not a soutid o’er all,
But the deep voice ofNiiigara,
In its eternal fall.
’Tis past ! No more shall carnage
\Vith warm blood damp the plain ;
Cuntendiiig armies never
Shall struggle there again ;
No more, in battle deadly,
Shall the loud canuon’s roar
Be heard with pealing echo
Along Ni-.igai'a’s shore.
O, "proudly let us cherish
The memory ofthose
Who. for our rights, are sleeping
In deatli’s long, deep repose:
All honor to the living.
Who for their country bled;
And over bright. the laurels be
Upon Tm; Ciiiici-"rAil\"s head.
_ Ben Bolt’s Reply;
[VVe find the following in reply to the well-
known_song, "Ben Bull,” in the Louisville Jour-
nal :]
Ah! yes, I renieinber that name with delight,
Sweet Alice, so cherished and dear;
I seek her grave in the pale hour of night,
And moisten the turfwilh a tear;
And there, when the heart is o'erbuidened
with woes,
I wander and muse all alone,
And long for the time when my head shall re-
rose,
\Vhei'e ‘* sweet Alice lies under the stone.”
I room through the wood where so joyous we
strayed,
And recline on the green sunny hill ;
All things are as bright. in that beautiful glade,
But my heart. is all lonely and, chill,
The ha nd that so fondly I pressed then in mine,
And the lips that were melting with love.
Are cold in the grave. and l'in left to repiiie,
Till I meet with sweet Alice above.
Ah! well» I remember the school-house and
brook,
“ And the master so kind and so true.”
The wild-blooming flowers in the cool shady
nook,
So fragrant with incense and dew.
But 1 weep not for these ,thongb so dearto my
heart,
Nor the friends that have left. us alone-
The bosom will heave and the tear-drops will
start,
For “ sweet Alice lies under the stone.”

Afihanghai lDinner.
The following capital story is told in the
, “New York Spirit of lIle‘_TllIl8S,” by a favo-
rite Boston correspondent of'ihat excellent
journal. This was rather a “dear dinner!”
Dear P.--At the last -‘ Hen Convention”
in our city, some six weeks since, a mutual
friend of ours, residing in the suburbs of
our metropolis, came to the city in the mom.
ing to attend the “ben fair," where he pur.
chased a very large and beautiful pair of
Shanghai fowls, to breed from; and, as he
was to remain in town until evening, he sent
the birds by a boy, with a note to a friend of
his, living at the Albion, requesting that he
would take charge of the chickens until the
afternoon, as_hc had some matters ofbusiness
that would detain him; he also told tbe.boy
to say he would dine with him at 4 o'clock.
The boy ,elelivered the fools, but forgot
the note, and simply remarked, “Here’s a
pair of rousing bigchickeus Mr M———-S
sciit you, and says he will dine with you at
4 o’clock.
The gentleman supposing his friend (who
by the way, knows a hawk from a, l"Hlll(l.‘3ilW,
and a canvass back from a broiled ourl !) had
sent him something extra, ordered’ them to
be given to the cook, with directions that
they be killed and dressed at once,as ne had
a friend toidine with him at 4 that P, M,
The order was a-ccordingly obeyed, and at
the appointed time the dinner served. After
imbibing sundry “wine bitlers,"asa Sharpe.
ner to their appetites, they sat down, and the
Shanghai owner was requested to curve;
and as he was dissecting these enormous
“ cute members of the Hen Convention,”
remarked to his friend.
“You have an extraordinary fine pair of
chickens here '2”
“ Yes,” answered the other, "they are an
indiffcrently good sized pair of birds; they
were sent to me by a mutual friend of ours.’
“Indeed, were they? a clever fellow he
must be, Jim; a very" pretty present this,
and I declare they are the mostdelicious fla-
vor lever tastcd, and asjuicy, too,as a can.
vass-back!
And so he continued praising the rich fia-
Vol of the chickens until after they had ta-
ken care of a couple of bottle: of Schrieder
and while chattering over their bottle of
sherry, and enjoying their regalias, the own-
er of the Shilngllills said,
“ By-the-bye, Jim, what did you think of
my hon’ purchase this morning 2"
“Why, Bill, I think they were most deli.
cious, and Wish you would dine. with me
every day in the week, if__you will send me
such chickens.”
“Such chickens!" screechcd B.1l. as the
thought flushed across his mind that he
'"l9.l1lP0SSiblybave been eating his own
Shanghais. “What the devil do you mean?
“Mean,” replied Jim, “is by, I mean to
say that you have dined off of those chick-
ens you sent me this morning !”
Bill jumped up from the table, and ram-
med his hands up to his elbows in his bree-
clics pockets, and after striding across the
room some half-dozen times, without utter-
ing a word, but his eyes all the while, with
fine frenzy rolling,” stopped short, and turn-
ing to his friend, exclaimed, with no little
jesticiilaiioii-—
“Good God, Jim I i tmia’ t/tirt_7/five rlollars
for that pair offowls this morning! Didn’t
that boy give you a note this morning when
helefl the chickens P” ,
‘‘No,'’said Jim,“he gave me no note, he
simply handed me the Shangbais, and said,
you would dine with me at four I There-
lore,[ had them roasted !”
Bill instantly rushed for his horse and
wagon, and has not been seen in the city but
once since, and then he ii as closely muffled
up, and both ears stopped with cotton, for

A few days since, while passing his resi-
dence, I dropped in upon him for an hour,
and after a vihile ventured to touch upon
the different breeds of poultry, but at once
discovered a wildness about Bill’s eyes,
therefore discontinued the topic. When he
said imploringly.

on Gcn. Andrew Jackson, at the White
House for the first time, he was regnled by
the President with Chainpaigu and Olives.
The doughly Major tried bolh—the first he
liked, the second he did not fancy, and lay-
ing the fruit back upon the plate, scarcely
tasted, said. “General your cider is good, but

in the interior of
Wayne county the other day, when his Lo-
cofoco brethren paid him the compliment of
raising a hickory pole in front of his house
He made no objection to the pole, but when
they proposed to elevate a Pierce and King
flag upon it, “hold on,"says he, ‘‘I go the
hickory pole, because that reminds me of
Jackson, but your Pierce and King flag I
.:ao’t stand, because I vote for Scott! The

diggings precipilatcly. ‘

SPEECH OF‘ ME. STANLEY. '
‘The following speech was made among oth-
ers titthe great Whig Ratification meeting in
New York, by I , 3 _
Hon. Edward, Stanly, member of the
House offlepresentatives from North Caroli-
mi. The Hon. gentleman was hailedwiih
most enthusiastic clieering, which continued
for a long time. When "silence again prevail-
‘ed, he proceeded to sialethat be was glad to
meet so large a conttourseofbis Whig friends.
North Carolinians seldom addressed such an-
diences ; it was not often that he had been
called upon to stand before such a numerous
assemblage. Besides that he was not in the
habit of speakitig where Reporters were ta-
king his very words and sending them forth,
with all their imperfections. In Congress, if
he made a speech, good, bad or iniffent as it
might be, he had a chance to revise and cor-
rect the report ; but here are a dozen men ta.
king down every syllable that I inter, and
sending it on the wings oflightening to
all parts ofrhe country, even before the words
are fairly out of my month. But I have
nothing to be afraid of; I have nothing to say
which I would hesitate to say to any man, to
say to all men, or to repeat to high heaven.
[Cbeers.] So, being sure that lam right, I
will go ahead. [Laughten] I have jusicome
from a long and tedious session of-Qo,,g,-ess,
a session during which I have hardly had
time to go to Chuich——for I do like to go to
Church sometimes—witlioul. be rig disturbed
with the thought that there was some busi.
ness forgotten or neglected. But I did not
feel at liberty to deny myself the pleasure of
a visit to the gallant Whigs of New-Jersey
and New-York and hence lam here tonight.
We of the old North Slate are not unkudwn
here; we mingle with you, and I presume
WhI('Il_l.Il€I'€ is hardly a day in which! could
not find forty or fifty N. Carolinians in your
metropolis. 'l‘hercfore, I feel at home here,
and all the more so when I reflect that we
are all Whigs. [Cheers] Gentlemen, you
have two candidates presented for your votes
in November next Who are they ? One is
W infield Scott, [loud cheers,] the other is
Franklin Peirce. It is unnecessary for me
to speak of the military service of Gen. Scott,
andl do not propose to do so. You at,
know his labors for the country on the bat.
tle-field: from Chippewa to Mexico, in all
the wars of our country you have read the
glorious record of his bravery and patriotism.
I need not tell you what you all know, but
will pass on to take some note of the non pu.
formances of Gen.- Franklin Pierce, ofNew-
Hampshire, and thence to some notice of the
important civil services and claims of Gen.
Scott. [Cheers] No one will dispute that we
have presented as our candidate the first mil-
itary main of the age. [Cheers] I grant he
VI as not my first choice; but consessions in
caucussrs and nominating conventions are in-
rlispensible, personal feelings must be sacri.
ficed, and union and harmony demand that
the person having a clear majority of the voi.
ces in Convention should bear the banner.-—
True’ men eminent for high civil services
were over locked, or Scott was preferred to
them by the mass of the people. But civil
services do not always qualify for Executive
station; a man may serve a few years in
Congress, and not thereby be entitled to fill
the Chair of State in that station we want a,
man of patriotism, of bravery and of high ser-
VICOS. Gentlemen, although I am not an
old man, I am an old politician, I have been
twelve years in Congress, and four of them
were (luring the administration of Martin
Van Buren. During the lime ofmy service,
I have bad opportunities to hear and see
something of public nien—-especially of
members of Congress—for it was at least
sufficient work, from 36 to 40 to watch the
maneuvers of the Little Magician. What
was the opinion of Mr. Van Buren in regard
to our candidate? In the winter of 1837-38
arose the ‘- Patriot” trouble, the burning of
the Caroline, &c., and a rupture with England
was looked for at any moment. In this emer-
gency, Van B. called upon Scott, and that
gallant old soldier revisited the scenes of
his boyish triumphs, and by a conciliatory
amljudicious course calmed the strife and
prevented acollision. The man-«who in!
1812 tore down the flag of England and
set the stars and stripes in its place, was sent
by Marlin Van Buren to quell the rising
storm, which lowered so threateningly over
the St. Lawitence. Again, in 1839, when
the North-Eastern boundary was threaten-
ing our peace, and i\/iaine had sworn to en-
gage in war on her own responsibility, who
was sent with full powers by this Same Pres-
ident Van Boron, to allay one excite‘.:ie_nt,
