a Pleasing INcIDENr.-Depafture (r0m Bal
fimore.-1he papers have tcemcd with accounts
of the spirited proceedings IN Baltimore, on
Thursday of last week; and all that could be
said ot the enthusiasm and beauty manifested III
Ballimorc-stroct, has been uttered, Never III
this country, was there such q display. But we
arc happy TO state that The enthusiasm OF the Id
cides was not exhausted on Thursday, nor was 1t
the civ, along which the procession moved. But
whenever and wherever an opportunity present
cd there were exhibitions OF continued sympathy
in the Objects of the Convention, and Oi encour-
acipg approval OF the conduct OF the Delegates.
On Friday morning, the cars left the depot in
the western part of Pratt street, with about five
hundred uassenrcrs; anu these were detained near
ly an hour IL It lower part OF the city, where the
enqiues were attached 20 the cars, and then the
movement was recommended This brought 10
the windows, doors and gates, old and young,

upper windows bearned torth smiles OF beauty,
and white handkcrchiets were waved by pcar!y
hands Heads roddcd time 10 the Clay Bancs oi
music in the cars, and Eoqaets were thrown TO-
wards the retiring visitors. Al the first door the
housewife, who had fastened from her breakfast
table, held Il child by one hand, aud waved nap
kin with the other. AT the gate, the servant had
thrust forth her hand and lent her approval 10 the
scene, while the curb stone WAS lined with bpys
and girls whose screams oi lny and rellrins
were as shSrp upon The car ae an ocidvo nttc.
In another ,ct!4l, different Class mad been

These demonstrations OF feeling were, OF course,
not allowed to pass unno:iced by The Delegates,
who applauded, laughed and hnzzaed al The top
of their lungs, while tie band kept up lis enVen-
ing airs.
Nearer Canton, on the suburbs OF Baltimore,
there are ie@ squares OF neat brick houses,
prcttiy finished. Here the windows doors and
Sidewalks were lined. While cries OF " Hurrah
for Clay and Frclinghuysen" were sent up from
the curb stone waving handGerchleis and smiles
marked the windows. Here the cars paused q
minute, as it was found difficult TO overcome
the high grade with such load, and we had
better chance of looking out upon the people,
