Tuesday, gives the following account of the
Tory celebration in that city. This grand
whole-hog festival was got up, it will be re-
collected, to shout huzzas for their splendid
vieiory ia Ohio.
II T" No eye hath seen such scare crows"
4 The celebration of the whole-hog g-raal de-
cratic Jackson Van -Buren-men at the Cas-
tie Garden last'evening, was, to do the affair
justice, in all respects appropriate, character
stic, and worthy Of the occasion. 1t was pre-
cisely such festival as might have been ex-
pccted in honor of victories, of which it might
be said with those of Pyrhus-a few more
such, and the party will be annihilated alto
gether. On proceeding down Broadway at
the hour appointed, we were not little anus
cd to find, instead of the anticipated crowds
which Imagination had pictured, hurrying to
the rendezvous, the pathways literally throng-
ed with that description Of the community
which may be denominated respectable, pro-
ceeding as quick as possible in the opposite
direction. More than once, friendly warn
|. ing advised us not to proceed /; and we met
with divers expostuations from the well-dis-
posed Of "thc party" at the evident risk which
we ran, in more respects than one, should we
persoverc in wishing to approach the orgies.
But, buoyed up by the hope of witnessing
staple "glo1y"a at genuine gl0'lfcation of the
'giOriOus" themselves--and now and then
hearing solitary report like the echo Of that
which preceded it, we persevered; and, after
great jostlng among the outpouring multi
tudc, we succeeded in eifectng an entrance
into the Garden.-Such an assemblage, cer-
tainly, never met before in that area.
The Jackson Times, of this morning, says
it was the greatest and proudest exhibition of
the Democratic party--!ts Strengths elite,
ever witnessed. We thank them for the ad-
mission, for more deplorable congregation,
literally, and in all respects, never was be-,
held. We met but few persons who could
boast ofcommon decency in his exterior, who
was not pushing, with evident anxiety in his
face, towards the gate--and the rout which
remained, consisting Of ragged boys, tipsy
sailors, railroad laborcrs, unemployed opera
tivcs, Fanny Wright men, Agrarans, and
that select assemblage who are nightly to be
found around the bars of the grog shops-in
fine the canaie, the sweepings of society.
looked to our mind, as they stood yelling and
clamoring around the rostrum, like the assem-
bly, of the deformed and the discarded, whom
Jupiter, in the fanciful allegory, called around
him to hear their complaints. A few paper
ty were stuck round the gallery, and few
pieces Of ragged bunting appended to unsha.
ven poles were to be seen, borne by hatless
urchins in different parts of the interior
The grand ensign ofall, however, was liter
ally and truly, "wHoLE HOG" ROASTED,
and elevated between two hickory poles-to-
wards which such longing demonstrations of
regard were cast by all the dinnerless Repub-
licans within sight, as plainly proved the
kind of Jacksonism they would like -. The
kind Of fare provided for the elect, and the
manner in which it was devoured, was in
good taste-(we don't wish to pun,) for it was
fit only in manner and quality for the sacred
emblem of the party. A scaffolding of un-
sbayen boards was placed under the arches
around the area, and at regular intervals
stood a number of barrels filled with sliced
bread. A few runlets of beer were then open
ed with much vociferation, and fists, and
hats, and caps, and even--we are not Joking,
kind reader, it is so-even shoes were put in
requisition to obtain mouthfu. a more hu-
or disgraceful spectacle never was
beheld in this country. AS for the speeches,
we say nothing on that subject, wisely fol-
lowing the example of the Times. For if a.
ny thing was said, nothing to certainty was
heard; we saw, indeed in the saloon, elevated |
IN the orchestra, with his back bent against
the ceiling, an unfortunate pedagogue of this
city, who had taken refuge in poi:ics-and
well known to the urchns whom he used to
Aagellate, as Douhe-headed jack" hold ,
forth with the most outrageous intonations.-,
We could occasionally catch amid the shouts,
The words "glory, hero, monster, gold, Aris-, /
.ocrocy," &c. But finally, the very leaders
getting ashamed of the sort Of spirits which
heir necromancy had called up, dismissed
he meeting-ordcrng this beautiful group Of
republicans to proceed up town and do as
hey liked. II
The rest Of the evening was dis grace to
he city--it being thronged with an intoxica-.
ed rabble, shouting and disturbing the peace
of the community. The hog already men,
Toned, had, by some miracle, escaped demo-
ition at late hour in the evening, as we
saw it paraded through the streets, amid the
shouts and hallo's of its worshippers. II
