"A correspondent calls our attention to the
fact that the Democratic polc-raisng in the sec
ond district, on the 18th instant was at Halls
Cross Roads and not at Aberdeen, as we stated
last week. We cheerfully make the correction,
and shall bear in mind, in the future, that Aber-
deem and Halls Cross Roads, although but q
stones throw apart, are in really two separate
and distinct places.
Major A. NJ. Hancock, of this county, while
speaking at Republican meeting, in Philadel-
phia, last week, was assailed with stones, one
Of which struck him in the forehead. This

John II. Harris, the colored man who undertook
to make Democratic speeches at Newcastle,
Wilmington, Chester and other places, was sew
eral times assaulted in similar manner.
The Democratic congressional convention
for this district will meet at Havre de Grace, on

P. German, Hon. Robert NJ. McLane Ex-Gov
Philip +. Thomas, and other distinguished gen.
tlcmen. The Democrats of Havre de Grace
never do anything in q halfhearted way, and
the meeting will therefore probably be the larg-
est that has been held in the county during the
campaign.
