The immense Mass Convention of the Democrats
of the Hudson and Mohawk river counties of this
State tookspace this day at Albany, and, usual,
we have, by our newly invented Telegraphic Thun-
der Cloud Express, received full report in time
for our morning edition, thus anticipating the
whole New York Press by advance of forty
eight hours at least. The morning was one OF the
iaest ever seen since the day that the first knck-
erbocker saw day light, and the great and glori-
Gus sun burst forth from the east, the Empires,
lronsiders, White Eagles, Butt Enders, and Roor-
back Roarers, were seen tumbling forth from the
steamboats, Illinois, New Jersey, Rochester, Co
iumbia, and South America. digging their way
through the immense masses on board and digging
their half sleeped peepers half open to reach the
bar for drop of morning bitters. national sa-
Lutte was fired the boats neared the wharves,
which was returned by the deafening cheers
and shouts of the now fully awakened,
hard isted and broad chested roaring democrats
Several delegations from the western and northern
counties arrived in the cars and steamboats, from
Troy, crammed and crowded to sutiocation with
the masses from Rensselaer,, Saratoga, and north
ern counties, neared the wharves with the shouts
of the multitude--the peals Of artillery-the whiz
zing of the steam pipes, and the joke, laugh huzza
filled with every description OF vehcles-the rum
shops and porter houses with the drest customers,
and the whole pier enclosing the basin, appeared to
be covered with living beings, so that, at dis
tance, they resembled the black-headed mites
tumbng about in rich old cheese. The oyster
cellars in South, Pearl, and Lydus streets, were
crammed with hungry customers, and the hotels
in State, Market street, and Broadway, were over
flowing with applicants for grog and breakfast.
