avail myself Of the few moments left me be-.
fore the departure of the northern mail, TO say
that this has been proud day to the democracy
of Pennsylvania. The old Keystone, as sho
is termed, turned out in her might, and at least
THIRTY THOUSAND OF HER FREEMEN, IL sneak
within bounds, poured themselves along her
thoroughfares and bY-ways, and assembled
themselves in solid masses ia this, one of her
fairest cities The spirit of the lion hearted de.
mocracy is awake. and it will from this time
until November next, sweep through her val
Leys, and along the mountains, like fire among
the dry leaves of forest. Up to this time, the
wings have had all the talk, but now the harS
vest nearly gathered in, and the farmers having
leisure to leave their homes, the democracy
commence work. The wings may, therefore,
hang up their Gddles, or rather, tear down their
log cabins, and drink out their cider barrels,
and cry out with the Moor,
sob forever

country, her support in time of peace, and her
defence in war, animated by most lively and
determined spirit 1t was soul stirring 10 see
the troops of Germans marching along solid
phalanx, their souls filled with The sacred de-
sire of liberty, which is the characteristic of the
people,, their eyes cleaning with the excile-
ment OF the occasion, and their hearts beating
nigh with the glorious political hopes which
the meeting with so many of their friends from
different parts of the state awakened.
"A procession was soon formed which pass

mass OF spectators, who cheered il as il passed,
with deaiening buzzas. In the windows, and
on The house tops were groups of ladies', wav-

Pathy with the good cause, and with their

bosom of lovers and brothers. The procession
marched eight abreast, each delegation display
ing banner, with some pointed device, accom-
panied by stirring and patriotic music. 1t was
