the city , bearing aloft huge branches of trees , green banners , and placards , on which were inscribed in large capital letters , " Civil and Religious Liberty , " " The Outrages and Sacrileges of Stockport , " " Protection for our Nuns , " and cheering enthusiastically for the popular candidates . Considerable excitement prevailed in the neig hbourhood of the booths , and several persons have been severely injured .
