BALTIMORE CITY TlpPECANOE CLUBS
Came next, from the first to the twelfth ward
inclusive.
As the procession moved on through the city and
stretched out heightened line, the array was
most imposing. Such an immense concourse,
moving like can army with banners" never before
on such an occasion thronged our avenues-while
from one end Of the mighty column 10 the other,
loud acclamations RAM renewed from rank to rank,
and bespcaing the strQaC enthusiasm which pre-
vailed in every heart Baltimore street was one
Wong Gallery ofBeauv. 1nnumerable white hand
kerchcfs waved by fair hands, greeted each adj
vanCng pennon, and to the waving of handker-
chiefs and to smiles, and bright glhnces from the
windows the young Wings returned loud cheers
with uphed hats. 1t may be safely calculated that
for every three rounds given for the Whig cause
generally, one was especially devoted to the ladies'
of Baltimore.
From Baltimore ST. bridge the view OF the COM
ing procession was in the highest degree striking,
and gave very comprehensive sight OF the multi
tudc--nasmuch as from Cove st. to this point the
avenue is perfectly straight, while slight cIcva
ton at the bridge afforded commanding view Of
the whole distance westward. The wide thorouh-
fare of Baltimore st. viewed from that point, SEEM
ed wedged by solid mass Of men, and no end
could be seen to the heightened column. The eS-
tent OF the procession could not nave been less
than Two miles, marching IN plaloohs SIX 10 Ten
abreast.
Throughout the whole course Of the procession
as far As the extremity Of the city, the most cheer
ing demonstrations were given from windows,
doors and crowded balconies. In several of the
streets fa9s with lnotees were suspended across,
