On Saturday disposed themselves in manner ,vbn1,
seemed intended special compliment to the gr.,d
rally fixed for the evening. The sun shoue ont bri1
lianty during the day. and in the evening Dame In-
ma showered down her most benignant smiles. Asa
consequence, the city throbbed spontaneously, and
very soon Odd Fellows Hall was the centre of surg
ing vortex Of humanity. "@S
The Clubs rallied in all the might and more than
the pendor Of their previous rallies and the arrival
of several new Clubs added the charm Of novelty to
the spectacle The trim and elegant Union Club were
first in the field, usual. Then came band of pa
trotc yonths under the title of the Crescent Club
Next came the gallant Donelson Club bearing at its
mead beautiful white satin banner with aDpropriate
inscriptions, present ola young lady which they had
received hut an hour preyous-our handsome friend
Col. Tom 4ske, being e proud bearer Of it. In due
time arrived the brilliant Creole Clubs Of the Second
District, with their gorgeous banners and transpar-
encies-the Constitution, the Natonalo y and the
American Shortly afterward the delegation of the
gorious Old Third came rolling in with Web Long at
their head-the sturdy Pelican men, with their telling
pictures and notices, followed up by new Club that
created marked sensation-"Nab's Rough and
Ready Club band of noble looking young men,
with red caps their heads in general and every.
bodys friend, Dave Bradbury at their head in mar.
| tcular The Rough and Reades were followed up by
the Junior Pelican Club new organization ex-
pressive of the fact that the coming men of the
Old Third intend to be fully with those of the rest
Of creation. We must not omit mentioning that the
Junior Fillmore Rangers were present as usual The
excitement attending the arrival Of the large Clubs
prevented us from noticing the time of their ARRIVAL
1t is needless to say, that when all the Clubs had arr
rived the hall was tightly jamned in every part and
as there were still crowds outside unable to gain ad
mission, massneeting in the street was the natural
consequence. > r..~-~ =.
During the filing up Of the hall the brass band in
the gallery discoursed patriotic melody and our popu-
lar friends of the Glee Club, Messrs. Beggs Qurk,
Sewell and Abbott gave the Song of 'R Red, White
! and Blue
At the proper hour the meeting was called to order
by the President, z. 7. Parker, Esq The reading Of
the minutes was dispensed with. - --.s
The proceedings opened with the song of q Eighty
Years Ago., by the Glee Club which was received
all the songs of that gallant quarete are received
Judge c. N. Bradford, Corresponding Secretary Of
the Rangers, ,ihen read to the audience compliment
ceved in response to the letter sent the organza-
ton Of the Rangers, to that gentleman, informing him
that the Rangers of IS were again up and doing
battle in his behalf AS may he supposed, the read
ing of the letter was hailed with the most Yociferous
! enthusiasm.
The President next introduced the orator of the
evening, Hon George Eustis, Jr, the popular young
Representative of Louisiana and SubElector for the
IIa whit a
est demons ions of applause His speech was Wig
orous eloquent and telling every se1tsIee
themostbes aceaTnations His principal tEenie
was the conduct of the leaders Of the Democratic
palty-the chieftans Of which, North and South, he
pumnelcd with the hard blows Of fact, and skinned
with the scathing blade of his strong argument and
eloquent dcnunciation. In his defence, Or rather
! eulogy of the great national movement in favor of
| Fillmore and the Union, the diamond points Of the
orator out with dazzling effect in himself and
deatening effect upon his hearers. He concluded by
quoting Mr.. Fillmores remark in his letter which had
been read to the meeting, that he felt himself and
the great he represented safe in the hands of
the Rangers of New Orleans, and adding that he ex-
| pected upon his return to Washington to be able to
| tell Mr. Fillmore that the Rangers OF New Orleans
would feel themselves and their cause equally safe in
his hands.
When Mr. Eustis concluded on motion, the meet
ing adjourned and poured out in Lafayette Square
as usual, to form into procession. This, matter
/ Of course broke up the moonlight mass meeting in
the street, which DR.. Harmon had for time been
addressing with his usual vigor.
In due time the procession formed and under

who do not belong to the clubs, and who always head
the professions turned out with beautiful and taste

each State Of the Union. with the name Of the State
painted over the picture of the stars and stripes anG
the inscription, " Fillmore Rangers on the rear o
each. These, with the handsome banner of the Ole
Rangers, borne by our nobe-looking friend Norbert
Trcpaenier added not little to the braney of the
first division Of the procession. The clubs followed
after in regular order. As have previously de
scribed attempted to describe the gorgeousness o
their appearance previous occasions, ought not
to repeat the attempt now; but We cannot help it
