IMMENSE TORCH LIGHT
PROCESSION
A grand and brilliant Display Of Trans
parencies and Fire-balls1Sill fur
ther demonstrations of the Union
and Enthusiasm of the Democratic
pary!l
Agreeably 10 the notice given from the speak
er's stand, at the time of the dismissal of the
Democratic Meeting in the evening, large num-
ber of Democrats, with Transparencies, Fire
balls, Torch Lights, and Firebrands, assembled
on Market street, who, under the direction of
their officers, were marshaled into procession,
and proceeded TO parade the principal streets of
our town.
In the lead of the procession was carried a
large and brilliant freball, considerably elevated
from the ground, which shone brightly on the
street around. Behind this, at proper distance
not to be influenced by its light, in the front of
the procession, was seen something which ap-
peared 10 attract more particular attention and
receive greater shouts of applause from the
Ilookers-on, than any other. 1t was beautiful
transparent pyramid, built four towers high, sup
ported aloft by number of men. On eachside
Of the several towers were plainly 10 be read, in
large letters, inscriptions and choice mottos, in
dcative of its meaning. Prominently on its
front were the words comprising the Democratic
MOTTO
SOUR CAUSE Is ONWARD"
Next, were the names of our distinguished De-
mocraic nominees, forming the motto,
f" POLK, DALLAS, TOD AND VICTORY"
Then followed numerous other mottos and
inscriptions, showing the immense gains and
glorious victories achieved by the Democracy
in the late State elections; such as,
"ILLINOIS,

"ALABAMA.

And many more, expressive of our prospects in
the coming elections, which we cannot find room
] to insert.
Next in the rear of the pyramid, followed
three large transparencies abreast, elevated a
: bout 30 feet in the air. Then came the Demo
cratic Binds, which contributed to enliven the
scene by playing many choice national airs
These were placed in the head and front o
tie procession. Then followed long train 0
transparencies with several hundred mottos anc
devices, interspersed throughout the immense
phalanx of people that followed in procession
Mapv of these mottos and devices were curious
and striking, and their sudden appearance NOV
ing along our streets created q2ite an amaze
Iment; while the universal shout of PGtk, Dal
las, Tod and Victoy, rendered the scene impo
sing and sublime.
After the procession had marched through thC
principal streets, It returned to the young hicko
Try bearing our flag on Main street, and drew W
in front of ]. McNutt's Hotel, where the people
were addressed by L. P Milligan, L. L. Jewett
j. Sharon, Esqires, Mr. Daniel Morris, Captain
Seymour, and John Mcneil, Esq, in the orde
they are named, in eloquent and appropriate
speeches, which were responded TO by the mul
dtude, with loud cheers frequently interruptinl
the speakers, and causing the streets TO resounc
with the shout of Polk, Dallas, Tod and Victo
Try!
The assembled crowd was finally dismissed
to meet in Freepor, on Saturday, the 18th inst
and the people returned peaceably and happil,
TO their homes,-nothing having transpired t.
mar the pleasures of the evening. And thu
ended day ever memorable to the indomitabl'
and untring Democracy Of Harrison county
