The delegates were arranged by States
according 10 seniority usually observed. eacl
bearing their appropriate banners, and the
members standing eight abreast. The whole
were under the direction Oi Chief Marshal
and large corps OF assistants mounted, aud
wearing appropriate badges. Bands OF mn

among which the Boston Brigade Band at
rractcd especial attention.
Thus arranged, at about 10 o'clock, the
procession commenced The march toward the
grounds of the Canton Company, about three
miles from the starting point. The line o'
march was through Baltimore street, large
and fine avenue, traverslng the hear, OF the
city. And here was presented one OF the
most grand nnd magnificent spcciacles have
ever witnessed. Only portion of the pro-
cession was yet in Baltimore street, but for
more than mile. then liz full view from
where | stood, this ample street was throngcd
with people, ~ the centre of which the pro
ccsslon, with their waving banners, was cx.
tended as far as the eye could Ieuch IN each
direction. The side walks were crowded,
and The houses, from the basement to the
upper stories, were crowded with ladies' and
children all anxious to witness the process
sion. And here, if had time and space,
coulG fill up sheet IN describing the surpas-
sing grace and beauty Of the fair daughters
of Baltimore. Suffice it to say, that thou.
sands of sparkling eyes bcamcd on all sides
qualification animated every countcnancc,
smiles aud welcome every where ubounded,
and youth and beauty and grailiied old age
were visible, as far as the eye could rrucb.-
As the procession marched along, The ludles
waved their white dkerchiofs-chlldrcn

The sidewalks shouted, and welcome re-
sounded asng the whole line. So much
heartfelt enthusiasm, have never be-
fore Witnessed. Had the country been en-.
shaved by foreign foe, and had an army OF
10000 patriots arrived for its dcllvcrancc
from foreign despotlsni, they could not have
Dcen received with more cordial welcome,
than were the fifteen or twenty Thousand
delegates from the various sections Of The
Union. AS looked along the line, aud be-
held the thousands of freemcn, organized
with banners, and cnliveDed with martial
music, and as reflected on the expressions
heapcd upon this people, by their corrupt and
hcartlcss rulers, | could not suppress the
sentiment, TINT we rtrc n Jact, an army of
dcvcrers destined by favor Of Providence,
to aid in the dclverauce, not only OF Bdlti
more, but over the whole Union ot an odious
tbraldoin. But time would fail me, II should
attempt To detail these scenes, and poetry
itself cou'd not do justice to description of
them. The Imagination OF the reader must
supply the dciiccnclcs. ! have said, that
the States displayed their appropriate ban
ners and devices. Some Of them were pccu-
liar and remarkable. Among them, the log
cabins attracted particular attention. But
the most conspicuous object was " the BALL

Ball as large as "A common sized bal.oon-
say nearly twenty feet diameter. A pole
passed through It's axis to the Cx,remtlcs ot
which, were attached cords, by which, it was
drawn onward with great majesty, to ihe ad
mlralion of all beholdcrs. On lis sections
were displayed The red, blue and white OF
the star spangled banner, representing the
twenty six States, aud bearing suitable mot
