 have attended nearly all the great Whig gath erings in the Northern States since 1889, the Bunker Hia Convention excepted, and 1 have neu- seen the equal of this but at Baltimore and in the Young Mems State Convention at Syracuse in 1s4O. Not less than FIFTY THOUSAND were assem- bled on the Convention ground to day. The main procession began to arrive at o'clock, and was just an hour in passing the entrance, hurried by by tho knowledge that Webster had already begun to speak but long processions continued to arrive until after o'clock, composed of Delegations from various River Counties. There,w was nerer such Convention, except where the people of whole State were called together. s..5.'l Y. ...4Esgfa-
 Samuel Stevens was President of the day, and happily introduced Mfr. Webster at an early hour, seeing that there already four times as many people assembled as he could possibly make hear him. Mr. Websterspoke nearly two hours, calmly, earnestly and very ably. His theme was the hs- tory of the country as connected with the policy of protection. and eyinccd profound research and Statesmanlike resource.

 But as only a fraction ot the assemblage conld hear any one speaker, smaller stands and wagons were rcsored to in different parts of the field and grove, from which thousands were addressed by F. D. Cuver, W. c. Hasbrouck, Wm. Van Wagner, MT. Kellogg of Ohio, George Dawson. Thomas Chrvstal, H. Greedy and others. The time was well improved, and if no converts, were made to the Whg cause, it is because all were right before hear from different quarters of numerous changes to the Whig party. G.

 We really have no room 10 describe or enumerate the procession, the various delegations the banners m0ttoeS, transpareHcies, &c Sc. and must leave all that to be imagined. Several new features, howev- CT deserve to be noticed As the procession ap- proachcd the ground selected for the Convention, procession of beautiful Ladies on foot sannexet' themselves to the right of tho main body and march, ed to the ground in escort of the Harrison Guards. The delegations from several Counties appeared dressed in uniform, which had an effect as novel as pleasing. The Wilson County Delegation, which Coanty as every body knows, is 'Whig all over, numbered upwards of two thousand, and were accompanied by Cotton Loom, drawn on car by six horses and in fula operation, with the shuttle flying as nimbly and merrily as ladies' fh- gers over musie-keys.
