The procession moved up Chatham street to the
Bowery. up the Bowery TO Brosme, through Broome
to Broadway, down Broadway to Canal, down Canal
to West Broadway, then to Chambers street, up
Chambers to the Park. But here they encountered
a small difficulty.
After the Wings left the Park, strong detach-
ment of locofocos, numbering nearly 100 rank and
file, headed by cart in which they had placed three
Of their orators, with Counsellor Shalcr for Presi
dent, wheeled up, and stationed themselves under a
tree just opposite the eastern angle OF the City Hall
Here they amused themselves with their accustom-
cd eloquence. and vowed TO redeem the state-if
they could. About o'clock, the Wing procs ssion
re appeared, headed by the Marshas on horseback );
and these distinguished individuals rode up to the
locoTocos, and ordered them to dispense pain Of
their pleasure. or course the spirit Of the de-
mocracy was roused and they laughed at the heroes
OH horseback. Then came the bitter taunt, and the
nvective followed-until from throwing gibes, they
got to throwing stones-and then the Wing cavalry
fairly set spurs to their horses and fled. Then the
ocos set up shout, and prepared to fortify their
position but the mounted heroes returned to the
charge, supported by the Union Club-known to con-
tain of the most fearless fighters OF the city
A fight now ensucd in earnest, which ended in the
defeat and retreat of the oco!ocos. Alderman Nash
and some other magistrates went to preserve the
peace, but the Unionsts pitched into the fathers of
the city, and Alderman Nash had to return with his
eye bung up, and his head bruised, that his best
friends almost failed to recognize him. The worthy
Alderman also had his hat stolen in the melee.
The Wings having thus the possession of the
ground, marcked round three times in grand array,
but the fourth turn, the ocoocos being reinforced
by the arrival of the o. X. Club, reappeared in
Spruce street and attacked the Wings. A fight Of
conside rable length ensued, and parties claimed
the victory. Capt John Hunter, Of he Decatur and
Perry Club seriously Injured in the head with
brick. After the termination Of the row, the Tippe-
canoes went home TO ge; ready for dinncr.
