ANOTHER MIGHTY GATHERING.
10000 Fremcn IN Contention at !Syracuss,

The Wing Young Men OF the Empire Sitte
assembled at Syracuse on the 10th inst. in
number. and spirit far outstripping any popular
meeting ever before held within the bordcrsof
New York. The immense conoourse whfh
iiocked from all parts of New England and from
some of the adjoining States, TO Bunker Hill
on the 10th OF September, scarcely surpassed
IN numbers, and did not equal in the imposing
display Of banners and professions, the aston.
fishing assemblage at Syracuse on Wcdnes..
last-Every person, whether Whiu
Buren, r,su, who ness rs Ibis uS3 s.ty ar
ing, seemed lost in wonder and surprise at the
extent of the living flood which for hour after
hour, and from every quarter of the compass,
came rolling into Syracuse on the day of the
Convention. Endless professions ofwaggons,
long lines of canal boats, and intermnabe
trains OF railroad cars, each full freighted with
ardent and enthusiastic freemen, poured in
fast-succeeding columns into the village from
Tuesday night until Wednesday noon. A part
OF the delegation from this county, in company
with the delegates from the city Of New York,
arrived at Syracuse on Tuesday evening.
The village was already crowded, and public
hotels and private houses taxed TO their utmost
TO accommodate the numerous guests. Al
frequent intervals during the night its stiffness
was broken by the loud shouts which proclaim
some town or county delegation. As morning
broke these sounds increased, and VIII en- the
sun rose in all his bllliancy, these cheers, the
heralds of fresh accessions to the Convention,
at first occasional and then frequent had be.
come almost continuous. AT one moment a
loud shout would announce the arrival of
line OF canal boats from the West, crowded
with human beings, and decorated with every
variety OF flag, sreamer and banner-And ere
this sound had died away, similar strain would
be taken up at some other point in the village,
| announcing a similar arrival from the East,
South or North.-Shortly after nine O'Clock
the delegations already in the village began
TO muster at their respective head quarters, and
to march past each other, receiving and return
ing the most heartfelt congratulations on the
brilliant auspices under which the Wings OF
1910 were about to enter the political field.
Nearly at the same time the heads of the nu-
merous delegations from Madison, Oneida and
the several towns of Onondaga county were
seen approaching Syracuse, and at once ava
kened by their imposing appearance, an enthu-
siasm alike boundess and INDISPENSABLE -
Log Cabins on wheels-immense wagons built
for the occasion, holding 80, 40 and 80 persons,
and drawn by 6, 8, 10 and even as many as IS
horses-long files of horsemen, and vehicles
of every variety of size and shape, (all well fill
ed) helped TO swell these vast professions.
From almost every wagon too banner was
flying, bearing some quaint device, or signili-
cant motto and at frequent intervals in the
procession, fine bands Emusic were stationed
and added their eloquent strains to the JOY
Gus and animating shouts oGthe People. DC
casionaly too a carriage would drive past,
filled with ladies', carrying in their hands and
waving aoft,appropriate and beautiful banners,
and calling forth from the immense concourse
OF spectators, deaining shouts OF applause and
welcome. This scene continued during the
whole morning, and it was not until IL o'clock
that there was the slightest precep,ible pause
in the human tide which was flowing towards
! Syracuse. About I O'clock, after indefa,ga-
bic exenions, the Marshals of the day sue
ceeded in arranging the multitude in the or
der OF march, and then the word being given,
the whole body moved towards the grove in
which the proceedings were to be held.
We were unable to see much more than one
third of the procession, and have not there fore
attempted to give any account of the innumer
able banners which waved above the different
delegations.
The Convention, when il arrived on the
ground, was called TO order by S. DE Wit
Bloodgood, Esq, the Chairman Of the Young
Mems State Central Committee, and after a
brief and impressive address from him, its
organization was completed by the appoint
ment of the Honorable Francis Granger, OF
Ontario, as President, 80 Vice Presidents, and
5 Secretaries, Committees 10 report an adj
dress and resolutions TO the Convention were
appointed, long, able and INSPIRING speeches
were delivered by Senator Talmidge, Gen.
Wilson OF New Hampshire, and the Hon.
Ogden Hoffman Of New York ,-and when at
nighi-iall the Convention adjourned, it was 10
resume its session in the evening, We shall
probably receive to-day the account Of the
proceedings ofWednesday evening and Thurs
day morning. Wewill venture 70 say that no
person who attended this glorious gathering
Of the young democracy Of New York, LEFT
Syracuse with a single remaining doubt on
his mind as 10 the triumphant election of Old
Tippecanoe. Each delegate must have be-
come satisfied that this bright prospect is be-
fore US. not only from CONVEX sation with others
from different and distant sections OF the State
bu, from his own personal observation Of the
materials which constituted the Convention,
the tone and temper which marked all lis pro-
ceedings, and, perhaps, more than all, the
gratifying reception which everywhere along
the canal and the railroad, from every house
and cot and cabin on the roui, was extended
10 the delegates on their way both 10 aud from
the Convention. The farmer forgot his tolls
the laborer turned from his wofk-the wood
cutter dropped his are-even the women aban-
doned their household duties-and all, actuat-
ed by one common impulse, rushed 10 the
roadside, TO give one hearty "Aurrah for Old
Tn" and to bid the Wing young men "God
