BAD SPECTACLE ON THE sTUMP-ExoITING ADDREss
OF WILLIAM q. .wnfTELEY-APPEALs TO VIOLENCE
AND BLooDsHED.
The Democrats held the final meeting of the
campaign7at Fourth and King streets, Henry
Eckel presiding.
William G. Whteley, Esq, being introduced,
made one of the most violent and exciting
speeches Of the campaign, whose hdYiee, IL fol-
lowed out, would make riot and blondshed at
every election polls in the State. Grant, he
said, was good and successful General of him
he had nothing to say but Of the legislature Of
the Republican party he had much to say. He
reviewed at large the act allowing the appoint
ment OF Supervisors of Elections, and the ap-
pointment of Deputy Marshals, and said if the
white people of Delaware would submit to such
acts of tyranny they we're bastards and towards.
II they have Deputy Marshals, we have Deputy
Sheriffs to match them Don't be atarid of their
badges, their bludgeons, their sticks or their
pistols We have plenty of them, too and zoe
hare the boys to use them but for Gods sake
don't kill them, but drive them away from the
polls. He would say, as the Quaker said, when
a man found stealing chickens, "boys, there
is the pump, but don't put him under it,"
Mr.. w. then renewed the Archie Given trial
and the action of the United States District
Court, "a CJurt thai had become 30 polu'e
with politics that its actions would sink into OBJ
liviun" yes, said the speaker ito HeH!" He
had the highest opiuion Of Judge Bradford, but
that fur ctionary did not soc how it was too late
on Saturday last to appoint supervisors Of cleo
ton for Baltimore Hundred 100 miles distant
and when importuned to appoint them for the
Republican wards OF Wilmington, said il was too
late. or Judge Strong, he had no unkind feel
ing, but he promised one decision. and for that
promise he was appointed Supreme Judge.
Whenever" said Mr.. W., Il go iuto that Dis
trict Court, feel as il was taking the stump
at political .huslings." He criticised the Con
stitutional Amendments told how they were
passed, and said he acquesced in them, but he
never would and hoped his decendants If or
him, would never rest satisfied, until black line
was drawn them, and they were expunged from
the Constitution, and the - nggers remanded
back whore they belonged. Let them go to
Liberia if they waat Equal Rights. Col. W. in
dulged in great deal Of yituperation in refer
| ence to Marshal Dunn, aud the Custom House
ling, which although requested by him, we de-
| cline reporting.
He read extracts from the letter of acceptance
| of Horace Greeley to show that it was good
| Democratic doctrine. He would say nothing
/ about the platform ON which Greeley stood thai
ioas a ltitg lohict is changer eOery four years.
Mr.. W. said he electoral candidate and
/ he was certain to be elected and when the cleo
| toral college Of the State met he would cast his
| vote for Horace Greeley. He thought all Dem
ocrats should vote for him, and all good Demo
Gratis would do ID.
The meeting was large and respectful, and
\ manifested very little enthusiasm in reference
| to the violent denunGiatiOns of the speaker,

prevailing.
Sheriff Armstrong has commissioned sixty
deputy sheriffs for the city, and some Of these
are at every poll.
The U. s. deputy marshals are also stationed
throughout the city. This makes up large
police force and all who have a disposition to
create disturbance or incite riot, should be
well cared for.
In the Second ward quiet prevailed through
out the morning, and both sides were working
eneTgetically to bring opt their party strength.
AT u 10, 1853 votes had been polled, with a fair
pfospeetoJ getting out the fullvote Of the ward.

about to Start.
The two naval expeditions orga nized to con.
tinue the surveys for ship canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, through the Darien
and Nicarauga routes are preparing to start,
Commander Selfrridge in charge OF the Darien,
aud Commander Lull in charge of the Nicaragua
project. The first will begin his survey on the
Pacific side of the Isthmus, at the point from
which the navigable waters OF the Atrato River
can be easiest reached The second will start
from Greytown, on the Atlantic side.
The Navy Department expects to decide
whether there are practicable r utes for canal
within Rix months, though Commander Self
ridge considers the question already decided af-
firmatively by his last survey, and goes out this
time chiefly to find a cheaper route, the estima-
ted cost Of canal over the route already found
being SS4 000 900.
