LAST SATURDAY.-Last Saturday was bad
day; it was a very bad day; bad for pedestri-
ans. leaky houses, business generally, and,
particularly, bad for the politicians. Old PIu-
Was, not content with an ovation continuing
through the entire week, must needs have
Saturday, (the very day OF all the rest most
lily sPared,) for a monster jOllIfcation. The
bowling winds of early morn eVinced that the
old "SlOrm King" was about entering on a
grand march at sunrise the pattering drops
showed the near approach of the tempest.
which continued growing in violence until
noon, when it had reached its acme; nor did
ii cease until the shades of evening had closed
in upon the scene. We said it was bad day
for the politicians, and so it was, not only here,
but throughout the Country, because Saturday
was looked to as the winding up" day, when
each party would make IT'S greatest rally for
their respective candidates. But they were
doomed TO partial, and in some places total dis
appointment, for more terrible day of wind
and rain has seldom visited this locality. The
meetings in this town, however, progressed
after fashion, being circumscribed TO IN
doors and our own townsmer, for the storm was
such as but few would dare to brave. The
Democratic meeting was organized at o'clk,
at Wards Hall, by appointing Robt. Hill, Esq,
Cha irman, and Geo. N. Hazel, Secretary, after
which Hon. Josiah Randall, OF Philadelphia,
was introduced to the audience, who, for more
oI sba a
ingly argumentatve and impressive speech,
reviewing the slavery agitation 10 Its various
phases from the commencement untIl the
present time, and arriving at the conclusion
that he as N " Old Line Whig," nor the Demo-
cratic Party, had changed their policy IN the
least in regard it's treatment. After few re-
marks from Mr.. Lawrence, of Philadelphia,
the meeting adjourned until the evening, when
the Hon. Isaac D.. Jones, of Princess Anne
Nd, delivered long and able address on the
issues of the day. Ths Smyrna Sax.Horr
/ Band was present on both occasions, and en-
! llvened the meeting by their stirring and ma
tIonal airs.
The Republican meeting was organized
about the same time, at Foxwelrs Hotel. by
appointing NJ. Jerman, President, and Samue
Cults, Secretary. After several tunes by tn
Wilmington Amphion Band, DIR. r. X. Smith
of PhiiadeI phia. delivered forcIble speech OF
the aims aud object of the Republican Party
and was followed by Col. Phillip S. White, G
the same city, in one of his witty and tellr
addresses, closing in time tor speakers and mu
scians to return in the evening train. Thu
!; ended the day, with doubtless less stirring c
angry bile aud whlskey potauons, if not quit
as many votes made.

the Chinese. were occupied by the Allies next
day. The position of the Chinese on the Per

one, and, in addition to these Notifications,
they have two bodies Of troops, one numbering
10000, and the other about forty or fifty thou

The Herald for Disunion.

The New York Herald has a strong article
in favor of the secession ofthe Southern States,
in the event of Mr.. Lincoln's election. The
ma nitesto of the Herald is founded on the text
furnished by the census of Delaware. 1t seems
that Delaware contaiaed $3.50 slaves in 1850,
which number has been reduced, during The
last ten years, TO 1905; and that journal is
deeply moved at the thought that four years OF
Republican rule will serve to wipe out this
remnant of the peculiar institution, and trans
fer Delaware from the side Of the South TO that
OF the North. In the meantime, the same
melancholy fate. it is spprehend by our cotem-
porary, will befall Missouri. That State, it
argues, is now bounded on three sides by Hi.
nois, Iowa aud free Kansas with the tide OF
free immigration flowing into it from the
North, and from Europe, thus leaving no hope
for the preservation Of the venerable institution
of Slavery. During the same brief space oi
time, or at any rate, within ten years, Wash
/ mgton, Jefferson, Dacotah, New Mexico, Utah
and other territories with strange and unpro.
nounceable names will be flied up with free
populations, and admitted into the Union, aud
the editor of the Herald announces, with q
shudder of horror, that within a very few
years there will be twenty-e ghl free to four
teen Slave States. In view OF this impending
calamity, it urges upon the South the impor
tance of immediate action. Secession, il
maintains. is their only hope Of safety, in tht
event of Republican triumph.
