counties and localites-and all had some strong reference and motto, dedicated to republican principles, and pointing dlrecuy to the two democratic candidates TOT tne two highest offices in the nation. Whi'e reference was pointedly made to Texas, Oregon-reference to our indeieasble na- tional title to aH Oregon--was notforgotten. Before the arrival of the procession, the en- canpment, covered by hundreds of beautiful tents and marques, presented the busy, re- ioicinp. but orderly throng of thousands af- ter thousands of persons of every age and sex. The people-the actual people-thee political, moral, religious, intellectual and nhvsical masses of the real soveregns and sovereignty of the land had assembled and were assembling on the ground, In thelr own undisputed strength, to hold council on the subject of their rights, their duties and their interests They did meet, held their council, and have since parted; each several member ofthe great democratic party--and each of the hundreds of those who cast Ill thelr lots with them during their deliberations-havlng cone home. all of one mind-unchangea resolved to carry out and consummate the great leading purpose of their meeting, by TIE ERECTION OF JAMES K. POLK AND GEORGE M. DALLAS. But this is digres- sion.
 The Divisions of the procession all reach- ed the ground without accident or confusion. The whole was conducted under the direc- ton of Cornelius Connor, as Chief Marshal, and his aids, J. B. Johnson and F. A. Gaines. The guests and ladies were conducted under the orders of Dr. J. Esselman and V. K. Stephenson. The first Division was con- ducted under the orders of Dr. John Maxey and w.

 The organization of the Convention by the appointment of the Hon. GAVE JOHNSON, of Montgomery, as President, and the ap- pointment of Vice Presidents and Secretaries were fully noticed in our last paper. The succession of interesting and eloquent spec ches of Gov Cass, Mir. Melville, Mir. Hise, Gov. c. C. Clay, Gen. McCalla, Judge Thomp- son, Col Terry, Judge Bowlin, MT. Bright, Mir. Watson, and of the previous speaking in the city by MT. Womach, Mr. Barton, MT. Treat and Judge Douglas, on the reception of the Illinois, Missouri and Louisiana dele cations, have heretofore been noticed. Our report published on Saturday contained the best account which the pressure of haste and the thousand agreeable interruptions of the times enabled us to give at the moment- The occasion was great-the incidents most interesting-and the result of the delibera- tions of the day most glorious. We feel 1t wholly impossible to give our readers per- feet report of transactions and scenes which can alone be appreciated, felt and compre- hended by those who participated in them, and which necessarily lose their highest in- ierest in the cold forms of narration.
