GRsAr MEETING AT PIrrspuRo.

The Pittsburg Daily says our triumph has been
perfect complete and victorious, the failure which
friends, the wings, kindly predc ed FOR u.s. has
resulted 10 the assembsge Of between 1000 and
5000 democrats in procession, and to thus may be
added, probably, some three or four thousand demo-
Gratis more who were in the city, but did not march
in the procession let US have few more such fail
ures and whiggery is undone. We have heard but
one opinion expressed to the relative strength and
numerical force Of the two Conventions, our own
conviction Is, that the democracy outnumbereJ the
grand display of the 10th at least two to one, and If
We exclude from the whig ranks the numbers Of wo-
men, children and pon-voters the excess over them
would be much greater. There were few indeed in
the procession who could not affirm their opinions at
the ballot box.
The procession started at 10 o'clock precisely in
the order published 10 the programme, under the d.
recions Of Mr.. Rody Paterson, Chief Marshal
whose energy and activity was every where mani.
tested IN the order and precision with which the
ranks were formed and In which 1t moved. A noble
delegation from Wheeling led off, followed by the
