Robert Ould, Esq, Of Georgetown, was called
TO the stand, and he proceeded with characteristic
vigoT and no little humor to rap Know Nothing
ism over the knuckles for its sins and blundefs
past and present In reference TO the impudent
PretensiOn Of exclusive AmeTicanism put forth by
The Know Mornings he claimed that the only true
American party in this country is that which has
given 20 US the rich pastures Of Texas the gold
en- sands Of California; the undisputed possession
OF the broad extent of territory which reaches
from the shores OF the Atlantic the Pacific; and
has spread the fame Of our national banner over
the whole world
Mr. Ould, in conclusion, urged the voters Of
me Seventh Ward to come out IN their strength
Monday next, and put the finishing sod ON the
grave OF Know NOthingism.
Mr.. James r. HALLIDAY then took the stand and
in some animated remarks urged the duty Of all
good citizens TO crush forever the discordant in

gentlemen who had been chosen 10y the opposite
party to carry the business of the CITY but
they had been tried and found wanting, and the
affairs Of the Corporation were in a situation de-
handing an immediate and effective change Of
policy:
Mr.. II. A. Cook, Of Mississippi, then took the
stand, and " SAM got another nauliny in his
hands especially in view OF that wouhy's man
agement Of the National Monument
He was succeeded by Maio. Flood who i'm the
course OF bis remarks repealed, with no little yigor
and ind gnatiOn, the charge made against him of
being Mormon, and similar malicious accusa-
tons.
E. b. Robinson, Esq, then came forward and
administered a scorching rebuke to the unman-
nerly opponents Of the meeting who had under
taken To interrupt il in its discussion OF public
principles.
Upon the conclusion OF Mr. Robinson s remarks
the meeting adjourned In the best Of spirits for
the election OF Monday.
