Yet, in the face of all these provocations not a whisper of disappro- bation escaped the lips of the anti. w getting | Nothings, but the various speakers were lis- Pers! toned to with attention, and treated with a courtesy to which, it must be confessed, some of them could not lay any peculiar claim. This is one picture; now for the other: On Thursday evening, the anti-Know No- things of the Sixth Ward held an sn door meeting at Odd Fellows’ Hall, in the vicinity of the navy yard. §; hes were made by Senators Brown and Weller; by Representa- tives Maxwell, 8. A Smith, Peck, Davidson, and Florence; and by ex-Mayor Lenox and Dr. Wm. B. Magruder. The speeches were able, eloquent, respectful and courteous to ents of the principles so triumphant- ly vindicated by the speakers. Not one word was uttered to which the most deluded and irrational Know Nothing could take exception The field of fair and legitimate argument was alone traversed by the speakers. Yet, in such ® presence, and in view of such circum- stances, Kuow Nothing bullies gathered in front of, and at the entrance to the building, interrupted the speakers, and made night demoniacal yells. he P} ejection of one of the intruders was the signal for the rallying cries of the bullies of the Order, and slung shots were called into uisition, one of the anti-Know Nothings being clandestinely assaulted, and receiving @ severe wound upon the face. And all this vecurred in the presence of Know Nothing pelice officers and a Know Nothing justice of the peace, who looked on orgs and encour- aged rather than prevented the outrageous aesault. Such is the true picture. A simple narration of the foregoing facts renders comment unnecessary.
