The Democratic I'm the Park.

We give In another part Of this extatic and de-
hehitui journal, full and graphic report of the great
turnout OF the democratic" which took place
yesterday afternoon in the Park, at o'clock by 81.
PauPs, for the purpose OF passing upon the nominal
tons made at Tammany Hall. preparatory TO the
election next week. And we must say that this
meeting was the most laughable-the most SUBJ
lime-the most delectable specimen of magnificent
mob that We ever have seen on earth. During the
last twenty years that we have lived and breathed
In New York, we have seen no such scene OF adj
mired neutrality-suspicious. uproar-and untamable
riot. 1t really seemed that the lower regions, so
beautifully descrlbed byMilton, in Paradise Lost, had
been for let loose upon the Park of New York.
The autumn wind was whistng hoarsey through
the elm, linden, and mulberry trees of the Park,
whose golden leaves were flying in all directions
the glorious fountain was springing, in sheets of
silver, eighty feet up TO Heaven-the clouds, OF
every hue, were coursing over the sky, now hiding,
now revealing the sun-the classic columns of the
City Hall, and surrounding buildings, were shining
ia the last rays of day-and the immense mass of
the democratic" were tumbling about like an
ocean in storm, yelling, shouting, Kissing, hurra-
ing, to such an extent as to defy all descrpton-all
calculation land all inteigible results.
With this laughable or pitiable prospect before
them, what have the sdemocracie' of New York to
expect from the contest of next week? Divided
into three or four violent Acknowledgement by
thousand purposes and influences, we do not see
howl possible for any person to suppose that they
can succeed in the election, To make the matter
worse, the wings are now perfectly united on their
men and measures The quarrel between the Clay
and Webster sections have been so far settled for
this electon-and may be considered arranged for
good and all.
But this is not all that afflcts the unhappy and I'M
fortunate democratic" A new party has been
generating in their very camp, calling themselves
"Natives," that promises to take away what little
hopes of victory renamed. This party, the came
rcau Republican" par erceience, taking courage at
these scenes of Reorganization, intend to organise
and agltate to a wide and remarkable extent. A
mass meeting OF these 'natives" is TO be held in the
Second Avenue, near Houston street, this evening
and procession is to muster in Hudson street at
6o'clock, and proceed to the head quarters, and
thence through the upper wards, with music, torch
es, songs, shouts, thunder and lightning On Friday
afternoon at O'Clock another mass meeting is to
be held Of the selfsame natives" at the Exchange,
and inWall street-thus encompassng the two grand
extremities of the metropolis
Such s the position of affairs-and really it
would appear from all these movements, that the
democratic" were on their last legs, and that an
easy triumph will be achieved by the whlgs next
week. Yet, let us wait and see. The race is not
TO the swift, nor the battle to the strong. Both par
ties will try their best The perfect union of Clay
and Webster on the wing sde-and of Van Buren,
and Calhoun on the democratc-will make CAPT.
