The weather, Yesterday, was delightful, and
when grey twilight fell softly on the city, not a
cloud darkered the sky-not wintry blast
chilled the air, whose breathngs were soft and
warm, and balmy as the gales OF early summer
1t was meeting ominous of the good time
when Republi, cansm and Lberty-the Union
and Freedom shall control our nation Soon
after dark thousands were abroad in the streets
hurrying to and fro to join in the grand torch
light demonstration, got up, not as an idle pa
geant, but to show how many thousand hearts
were here devoted to Freedom, and thus roll
on the mighty wave of Republicanisln, that
is sweeping over the country, bearing John C.
Fremont onward toward the White House.
The procession consisted of six grand divis-
