the following brief address .;o
"My friends, we have truly had glorious tlnle;
We have been favored with good weather, honofeo
with able orators, and encouraged with vast as
sembage of citizens, who for Intelligence ana ge! r.
tlemaniy department, have never been surpassed II
equalled.
Feasted with eloquence and sound Democratic
doctrines, we can but be encouraged to persevere
in the great work we have so nobly begun.
We are now about to depart and return to our
respective homes, where hope we may ind that
nothing has happened to cause us to regret the
few DAYS we have devoted to our glorious cause,
and to partake of the hospitality of our Democrat
ic friends of Wayne.
Let us resolve to make one more determined ef-
fort on the 2nd November and roll up such ma
iority for our noble standard-bearers, Pierce and
King as has never been recorded in the history OF
the good old North State.
Thanking you sincerely for the indulgence you
vast assemblage, [ pronounce this meeting ad-
iourned, without day"
With three loud cheers the crowd dispersed.
The immense delegation from New Hanover and
Sampson went off in the special train, those from
the North in the mail train, and those from the
East and West as they came. All we believe were
delighted with the demonstration, and all returned
to their homes strengthened in their aith and with
renewed determination to labor faithfully in the
Al JofN Oh oil heir
efforts with the triumphant election of PIERCE
and KING.
In concluding this notice, we cannot refrain from
a snole remark. Not single speaker INDUCED
in any ungenerous or abusive remarks towards
Gen. Scott or the Wing party. Reason and ar
gument, not abuse, were the weapons of the occa-
sion. Gen. Scott was always spoken of as brave
man. good soldier whose successful career as such
shed honor upon the country, but his political posi-
ton, the influences which had Effected his nomi-
nation, the inconsistent position the "known Incl
dents" of his life made him occupy,-these were
exposed, and these were the points of attack upon
the Wing party. Such too was the language held
by Mr. Venable towards Mr.. Kerr. He had can
vassed his Congressional District with him, knew
him to be an able defender of his party, and if he
could not defend Scott in North Carolina, he knew
of no wing who could successfully do so.
The crowd present was composed of many OF
the active and efficient of some 20 counties in
this section of North Carolina" the tenth legion
of her Democracy As body we remember to
have seen no assembage of the same size that could
compare with it in intelligence and appearance.
They were the men whose active influence is felt
in their respective counties, and who may be truly
said to control destiny. These have returned to
their respective homes to tell of all they heard and
saw, and to spread the fires of enthusiasm kindled
at the first great council of the Democracy of North

The hospitality of our beautiful little village was
taxed very heavily, but it fully equal to the oc
casion. Accommodations we believe were found for
all who tarried among us through the night May
all and every one find it convenient to pay us
another visit. Golds6orough Rep. d Pat
