Bay ard, being ab^eiit, John P. Springer, Esq., Vice President for tlie First Ward presided. The various. Ward Committees re >orted that tlie Wards were thorough v orgunized and canvassed, and rea dy to make a strong fight bn Tuesday next. It was unanimously resolved to clerk at the various polls throughout the city and provide them with blank books, in which to record the names and resi dences of negro and other suspicious voters in order to guard against illegal voting, and punish the same when suc cessfully practiced.

A large Democratic meeting waslield ut Sixth und Madison streets, last night over which Esquire George O'Neill pre sided. Wm. Reynolds, Esq., was first intro duced and delivered one of the most effective and telling speeches of the campaign. He spoke for three quarters of an hour, and confined himself main ly to state issues. He spoke of the at tachment and clearly proved the falsity of the assertions made by tlie Republi cans in regard to its cruelty and op pression. lie alluded to our school und and our State Schools, and by a comparison of statistics, proved that more was done for tho education of children in Democratic Delaware than in Republican Massachusetts. He also spoke of our State takes, and compared them with tho heavy taxes imposed up on the people of Wilmington by Repub lican rule, and the heavy taxes which the people of Republican States groan under. Mr. Reynolds also alluded tp that monstrous National indignity—tlie Civil Rights Bijl—and advised all de» pent white people to vote against Jas. R. Lolland, the Republican candidate for Congress, who is in favor of pass ing fids obnoxious bill. Mr. Reynolds in conclusion referred to the probability of having Deputy Marshals appointed to our elections, and 'advised all our people to conduct themselves in an orderly, peaceable manner, but not to care a snap for all the Deputy Marshals that may* be ap pointed. His remark^ were well re ceived, and vigorously ipplaudcd from time to time. Gluts. O'Brien Esq., of Philadelphia followed in an eloquent half hour speech in Which he discussed the is sues of tlie hour in a masterly manner. He was loudly applauded. It being very cold the meeting ad ourned at the conclusion of Mr. O' Irien's speech. REPUBLICAN MEETING. Tlie Republicans held a meeting in the City Hall, lust night, which very sliBily attended. Wm. ('! Spru 7 nee, Esq., made one of his character ttsc, heavy «pcechcs, Which failed to uromc any enthusiasm, or interest the tamo audience who listened to him. TUE EIOIIT1I WARD MEETING. The Eighth Ward Meeting, at Thir teenth anclKingstreets.Tliursduy night is worthy of more than tlie passing no tice which the crowded state of our compelled us to put it off with yester day. Tlie meeting wa3 very largely atten ded, over flve hundred being present. This,' fora ward meeting, and in «Ward where our party is greatly in the mi nority is certainly very encouraging. The meeting was called to order by Geo. C. Ward, on whose motion Ed win C. Morrow was culled upon topre side. Wm. Reynolds, Esq., was first intro duced' Mr. R. proved that the falsity of the assertions made by Republicans that our speakers are afraid to discuss State issues, and for half an hour cx ! iosed the fallary of tlie ridiculous cu >ital which the Republicans attempt 0 make out of the attachment law.— lis remarks well received and warmly applauded. After concluding, Mr. Reynold,, proceeded to the City Hall meeting where ho made a stirring speech. John O'Byrne, Esq. .also addressed tlie JSlghth Ward meeting, in his usual eloquent mannerafterwhicli it adjourn t'd. Good Order.—A Republican meet-. iog was held at Eighth and Button wood streets, last night, near the Bay ard Democratic Club Headquarters.

Certain Republican office-holdsrs and others have been procuring tax receipts from collectors throughout this State, to be used in Wilmington on the third of November. Demo cratic collectors look out, this is a fraud and the parties who get such re ceipts are as much to blame as tho man who attempts to vote on such re ceipts. Give no more receipts unless the parties apply in person. The only hope for Lofland and Jump is in fraud. A fair vote will sink negroism far beyond resurrection. Sussex Journal.
