The Mass Meeting at Carr Place.

The American Mass Meeting held al
Carr Place yesterday, was one Of the most
triumphant political demonstrations ever
Witnessed in this city.s There we're Amer
loans from Missouri, Americans from Hi
nois. Americans from Indiana, and Aineri-
cans from Kentucky present, TO participate
in the pleasures OF the reunion.
EAtsl2 o'clock, the procession, comprising
horsemen, escorting ladies'; company OF
indiahaus, dressed and painted as lndians;
Car, containing thirty one young lalies,
each representing State of the Union, a
Triumphal Car, with gorgeous c9uopy,
under which stood lady, representing the
Goddess Of Liberty, surrounded by thirteen
little girls, with fags--the whole accompa.
med by four bands Of music started from
the Planters House to CarrPlace.
An object which attracted the attention Of
all, and excited universal admiration, was q
huge ship, the Constitution" brought oil
the way from Terre Haute, Indiana, by the
Otter Creek Delegation. II had twelve
port-holcs from which the beautiful Hoosier
State ladies', seated within. waved flags, as
the vessel moved along through the streets.
IL was mounted on two wagons, and drawn
by six horses. II had three masts, (the
middle one full rs feet high) full rugged
and manned, and formed quite ccnspicu-
Gus object as it moved through the crowd.
The procession, alter marching through
several Of the principal streets, proceeded
up Eleventh street TO Morgan, and thence
10 Carr Place, corner Of Franklin Avenue
and Tweniy-first streets. The procession
was not less than mile and a half in length,
and with its numerous vehicles, banners,
flags, bands Of music, &c., gathered a crowd
and inspired nn enthusiasm unexampled in
the history Of political gathering in Missou-
Il. As il filed into the main gate of the
Carr Place, we were enabled to take more
thorough ind minnie survey Of its compost
tion and arrangements. First came band
playing Yankee Doodle, proceeding gor-
geous American banner, followed by the In
diana and Illinois delegations, numbering
several hundreds. We understand there
were some three hundred from the rising
city Of Terre Haute, at mich point n few
days ago several hundred St. Louisians
participated with their "Hoosier" brethren
ina heart-stirriug Fillmore demonstration
Next came the Indian cavaliers-thirty-o
in number-decke1 out in gaudy taitooing
paints, and feathers, and armed with toma
hawks, clubs, bows and nrrows--genuin'
'Know Nothings, regular built Native
Americans" Then followed the Missou
rians-a long and gallant array-with I
splendid band preceding and each carry
ing "Fillmore and Dnne!son" flag, will
the stars and stripes. This company wa
large, and showed to the finest advantage
The "ladies' team" came next-lhirty-o on
bright, blooming fair ones, decked in re
zsplendent white, each bearing flag wit
the name Of one Of the thirty -one Stotes EN-
~. blazoned thereon. We verify believe tina
II the incorrigble old bachelor of Wheat
land, had been ''along,' he would cheerful
ly have pitched '',he platform" TO the dogs
and emerged" himself (if he could, rigl
in the middle Of that vehicle.
After further array of citizens on foe
came large omnibus, drawn by five spa
OF horses, on each side Of which was can
vass with Fillmore and Donelson--ior til
Steamboats, and the Railroads painted o
it. The omnibus was filled inside and OF
with Steamboat and Railroad men, and wa
gaiy bedecked with flags, with appropriat
notices. Close behind followed the "Tr
umphal Car" or "Temple of Liberty"
most gorgeous spectacle; and then came
number Of carriages and buggies filled wit
ladies and gentlemen. After these, came
very respectable procession OF gentleme
on horseback. The whole procession WI
concluded with large number of either
on foot.
Z In few moments, the vast crowd WI
appropriately arraigned in front Of al
around the Speakers stand. Seats hs
been prepared for 1000 persons, and th'
were filled from the beginning TO the end
the meeting. We are satisfied that had n
the weather been so cool, there would ha'
been fully twenty thousand persons preser
and persons who are used to estimatiI
crowds assure us that at no time were the
less thai eight or ten thousands perso
present.
The stand was handsomely ornament
with two portraits Of the "Model Pre-
dent" two representations Of the Declar
ton Of Independence, the main banner
the Fillmore and Donelson Club Of
Louis, and several other flags. On
stand we noticed many Of the early, zealo
and distinguished friends of Americana
and Fillmore of this and other States.
