The masses we're out las. evening; the people,
the Democracy were out in all their glory. we

cosae. We give up all idea Of wiring an ac-
count OF the procession. Such procession was
never seen before, aud will not be seen for years
I, come. We confess that we do not know how
j, was GOT up: we did not anticipate il; we had no
idea OF snch 4 demonstration OF such cn.husi-
asm We expected 10 see an ordinary meeting,
bu, we were disappointed. The procession was
seven miles long, il il was an men. Le. every
Democratic voter in the procession PIT IN his bal
lot and Polk and Dallas, Wrigh; and Gardiner
will receive 5000 majority in this city.
The procession was four hours in passing at
any given point But 10 Judge OF the Numbers
who were in the procession, would not give the
least idea Of The immense mass oi human beings
who turned on, last evening. The whole city was
filed with Democrats Never within the mem
ory of man, was such mass of human beings
assembled. Can il he possible that The city oil
New Yo., will record her vote for Henry Clay?
