reception of delegates, who continue to flock
in from all quarters. At noon q national sa-
Lutte was fired, Immediately after which the pro-
cession was formed, Gen. 2. Whitney acting as
Chief Marshal The line is now moving through
the principal streets of the city, on its way to

NIAGARA FALLS, July q, 3r NJ.
The procession has just reached the ground,
and is now being organized. Six separate
stands have been erected for the speakers, and
it is presumed that others will be erected in or
der to accommodate the assemblage. The num-
Der ofspeakers present is very large, especially
from Ohio, Pennsylvania and NewYork. The
| Convention will adjourn at 5 o'clock and meet
| again at o'clock, when the speaking will be
| continued until late hour.
| The most attractive and interesting part of
the celebration will take place tomorrow. At
sunrise u national salute will be fired; at 3
o'clock a review of the military by Gov. Hunt
will take place on the eastern skirts Of the town,
about one hundred yards from the cataract, in
the vicinity of which the military are encamped.
After the review, which will occupy most of the
morning, the people will assemble in the grove,
where they will be addressed until 3 p. NJ, by
Gov. Jones, of Tennessee; Senator Mangum, of
North Carolina; General Cullum of Tennessee,
and Hon. Solomon Foot, of Vermont. The cele-
bration will be closed, and the Convention adj
iourn sine die.
Those who will be fortunate enough to obtain
| seats in the cars will, as soon as the adjourn
ment takes place, return to Buffalo, but an i'm
mense concourse will be compelled to remain
here until Thursday, and will doubtless spend
| the remainder Of the day in viewing the great
cataract and partaking of the festivities pre-
pared by our whig citizens for the evening.
The prospect Of obtaining accommodations
for SO many persons is very poor, and large
numbers will have to bivouack under the trees
or return to Buffalo.
| The barns in the vicinity OF town will all be
occupied for sleeping purposes, besides which a
number of temporary buildings, plentifully sup.
piled with straw, and tents, have been erected
by the Committee of Arrangements, But the
gathering has so far exceeded all expectations
that all the extraordinary arrangements making
will scarcely be sufficient to accommodate them
Many slept on the floors last night, and thu
number present was scarcely one third as larg'
/ as it is now.
