the previous SPEAKERS
Then came the chief attraction Of the evening AN
oration by Capt. Charles D. Dreux, the popular
young orator Of Louisiana. Az it was bis first regu
lar appearance on the rostrum during the present
campaign, he was welcomed with q succession Of
cheers such as were never surpassed in that hail. and
the ladies greeted him with their kerchiefs in man
ner which showed them to be fully up with their mas
culine neighbors in the enthusiasm Of the occasion.
The Captain, after returning thanks in his usual
elictous manner for the warm reception extended to
him, took Senator Benjamin for his theme, and
dressed that gentleman up according to his deserts
the speech delivered by him on Tuesday night last
being, Of course the immediate matter Of discussion.
The Senator's impotent defence Of his fichleness in
politics his various attacks upon the American
party; and his accusation of degradation on the part
of Fillmore, in accepting the American nomination,
were taken up and treated with the argument, sar-
casm and eloquent denunciaton theyso richly merted.
As a irst-rate establishment Or addition to his ad.
dress, the Captain read from the reports Of the Con-
sttutional Convention of 1a45, the honorable Sena
tors remarks in support of resolution declaring the
eligibility of none but nativeborn citizens to- the Of
flee of Governor ;5in which he fathered the native
clause, and supported it with all his eloquence. The
applauded picture Of the honorable Senator as "the
living personifcation Of inconsistency" He CON
cuded with an eloquent appeal to the Fillmore men
Wings and Rangers-to put their shoulders together,
and fight galanty for the elevation Of their chieftn
and the perpetuity Of the American Union. He re-
tired amidst cheers as tumutuous as those which had
greeted him at first. ..&.
resolution was next read, inviting Randell Hunt,
Esq to addres the Rangers at any time convenient
to himself It was adopted with shout of acclama-
ton, and then the meeting adjourned. .,
The multitude repaired to Lafayette Square, and
filed into st. Charles street in procession. As the
meeting the largest Of the season. so the process
sion eclipsed all previous professions. 1t seemed to
be ntermiDabe, and the manner in which the Union,
Donelson, Junior Fillmore, Fourth Ward and Consti-
tuition Clubs heightened out was truly astonishing.
The enthusiasm Of the night may be inferred from
the fact that the march extended down St. Charles
and through Royal and Casacayo streets to Clouet
street in the Third District dowa Clonet to the eyee
up the leyee to the markets, and up Chartres and
Camp to Lafayette Square again-a circuit of six good
miles. AS the procession moved along, rockets shot
up from its head, music and cheers rose in chorus
along its body, and the lights of the particolored
transparencies Illuminated the streets and disclosed
windows and balconies crowded with delighted and
astonished spectators. It was in truth magnificent
nocturnal spectacle at which the Second District was
lost in admiration, and the Third District was lost
in astonishment. Passing by our office, the pro-
cesson honored it with three hearty cheers for which
we are proudly grateful. es8.a. -..:- :. #.@ @
+ AT the Square, President Parker dismissed the pro-
cessoa, complimenting the Clubs upon their magnif
cent turnout, but urging them to do the thing better
STILL if possible, next Saturday night. The Clubs
then gave three cheers for Fillmore, three for the
Union and three for Capt Dreux after which they
dispersed to their respective halls of rendezvous
Capt Drenx, we think, spoke happily when he said
in his speech, Judging from appearances, there is
but one political party in New Orleansn To
