Mr. Hall closed with most eloquent appeal.
We regret that time and space forbid fuller alb
stract of the speeches. but columns imperative,
and we must close
After Mr. Hall had got through, John A. Taylor,
ESQ.,, begged leave 10 say few words-he wanted
the crowd to hear an old Wing. He had never been
a Democrat He was not now a Democrat. He was
a Whig but there no Wing party-ony a Know
Nothing party. He didn't know that party-he didn't
believe in it. and in this contest he must go for War
rem Winslow, who, at least belonged to a party that
he did know, and who was the best man. in every
respect for Wilmington.

Meetings Inst Night.
We don't think that more than half the people in
town went to he'd last night The Know-Nohings
held meeting at the Market House, officially, by
authority" as we might say. The Democrats held
theirs at Major Walkers yard. The meeting at the
Market House was addressed by Mr.. T. James Nor
CON- Young gentleman who talked for very con-
siderable time AS regards his speech, the meeting
was certainly composed of Know Nothlngs' Tor no
one could hear him, and, if they had could have
made nothing out of what he tried 10 say. tut let
| Mr. T. James Norcom pass. His doings amount TO
nothing.
! I'd. Meares, ESQ, followed in pretty deliver
ed speech, going over the usual K. N. ground alter
which the crowd marched in procession TO the Oaks
on Dry Pond, and was addressed by Geo. Davis, Esq
We heard only small portion of Mr.. Davis remarks
in which he alluded to the deserter Riley, hanged by
order of Gen. Scott saying that said F.1y was an
Trishman. ont of which Mr.. D. made very pretty
point, the only difficulty about the matter being the
slightly important fac: that Riley was not an Irish
man The name was all the Irish about him.
The Democratic me citing was addressed by DR.
VIM. G. Vikings, who made really able, argumen-
tatve and eloquent speech showing the reasons why
Southern men, States Rights men, should stand aloo
from the Know Nothing organization, and should go
for the Democratic party. Dr. Vikings went over
the whole grounds of difference between the parties,
touching upon each point briefly yet comprehensive
ly OVERRIDING nothing, and yet leaving little to be
done His closing remarks were highly eloquent
and impressive, and the effort whole, was one
OF which any one--even the most practlced political
speaker--might we'll be proud.
Hon. VIM. S. Ashe responded to call made upon
him. He spoke for nearly an hour, and we have new
er heard better address from his lips, and saying
| this we have said that MIR. Ashe made capital
speech As he always Loes he talked the matter
right ou1--told the whole story, without healing
about the bush, and the crowd responded to him
warmly ami heartily The Democratic meeting was
in the neghborhood of three hundred. The crowd
at the Market House, being preconcered affair." and
miscellaneousy made up, was rather more numerous.
The Democratic meeting, after the speaking was
over quietly dispersed-the X. n. procession went
round town generally, and hoarseness IS prevalent
The polls tonight will tell the tale. Don't be fright
ened about trifes. We shall triumph in the District
even if we do at some points meet Temporary checks
Need we say 10 all, keep cool, avoid all unneces-
sarv excitement, or causes of offence. NO matter
what ticket man votes, it will count just,as much
if put in peaceably, if all the fuss in the world
was made over it.
! Kenneth Raymer and Hon. Daniel NJ B"rri"ger.
Mr.. Rayner has been making, more Suo, the most
barefaced charges against the administrator ana
using the most scurrilous and ungentIemanly Ian
cuage with reference to President Pierce and every
member of his Cabinet. Among the other, and
knowingly false statements is one made by H. hay
ner on the authority of Hon. Daniel M baHlnger, &c
the effect that the Pope's Nuncio at M9drd, had
tod Mr.. Barrnger, then American Minister at the
Spanish Court, that the present Postmaser-Genera
a Catholic, would be member of the Cabinet Of
Genera. Pierce, and that the conversation dunng
which this statement was made, occurred prior &c
the appointment of the Cabinet being known in the
United States And, consequently, that the Nuncic
could only have known that it woul! be So in pur
suance of an arrangement by which, in consideration
Of this appointment, the Roman Cathohc vote was
cast for the present incumbent

Mr.. r. never made any such assertion as Mr. Ray
ner attributes to him. And further, Mr.. Barlinge
stated privately az Saratoga, 10 gentleman O.
Washington city. that this conversation with The
, Nuncio, occurred subsequently to the Inauguration
of March, 1853, and TO the reception of the lnteli
gence thereof and of the names of the Cabinet a
Madrid
Further, Mr. Barringer informed the same gentle
man. that he had written two letters to Rayner or
the subject, but that Rayner had suppressed oti
letters and wholly refused to correct the fa'seh BOD
