New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-11-03

III,
half Of Fillmore, was concluded on Friday Dirbt. at
Odd Fellows Hall, by Rander Hunt the final dfg.
play, in the way of turnout and procession heing
reserved for Saturday night. On this occasion tho
weather, as usual, cIear and beautiful and tho
result was, the largest and raost brilliant progression
and the greatest outpouring Of the population, that
VIC have ever seen in New Or3aans.
i Canal street being the grand rendezvous the neu.
ra ground banIuettes, balconies and windows of that
avenue were densely crowded. long before the arrival
OF any of the Gibbs whilst the streets announced az
the line Of march were scarcely less crowded. We
never saw the ladies out in such strength before Not
only the banquctes balconies and windows of Canal
street were ave With them, but they clustered on all
tc Veftndas, balconies and other good points Of OBJ
sci Vation throughout the line Of march.
IN due time the glare of fireworks and the swell of
music heralded theapproach Of the Clubs. One after
another they filed into Canal street and took their
sanda Their torches and transparences shedding the
brightness OF day over the scene; and when all had
arrived, the street seemed fairly sea of fire.
All the Clubs that we have so frequently mentioned
before were out in full strength and some of them
with new transparencies and other features of attrac
ton There was one new Club, the Washington
Club composed of the good men and true of the
back part OF the Second District who made a fine i'm
presslon by their manly bearing and patriotic banners
and ransparencies. The Algernes were also on hand
in extraordinary strength.
The great feature of the turnout, however. was
the first and only appearance of "fairy guard of
thity"one OF Louisiana most lovely daughters each
| representing State Of the Union. Owing to a mis-
fortune at the ' eleventh hour" however the Young
ladies' were not enabled to turn out in the splendor
Ihat mad been arranged The large triumphal car
t mad been constructed and decorated for the occa
sion, lacked the essential of strength and whilst on
Its way to the rendezvous to receive its lovely burden
the horses became resye, and shattered it so much
as 10 render 1t entirely unfit for USE Nothing was
elt put TO put the young ladies' in carriages. This
was uo and the shields representing the States one
LOT each young lady, were fastened outside. Though
the multitude were disappointed in obtaining as fair
view of tile angelic galaxy they had anticipated
they were still enabled to catch glimpse of them in
their carriages, and to hail them With the most heart
felt enthusiasm all of them being beautiful in person
and beautifully dressed, with wreaths of flowers on
| their heads.
The Fourth Ward American Club had a very beau
tiln display in their advance. full length portrait
OF Washing on asefully decorated was borne along
IN an open carriage between two pretty young girls,
and two boys dressed sailors-he whole being sur.
rounded by profnson of lights
ON ,ng to the delay of getting 50 many Clubs in
marching order, it was after 8 o'clock before the
procession got under way. Finally, when it did start
1t headed down Royal street, making its way, as it
WERE between solid walls of human beings. The
| Officers OF the Fillmore Rangers took the lead on
horseback and the order Of the procession as nearly
as We can recocct it, was as .Ollows The Union
Hlssars, With an Illuminated portrait of Fillmore,
IN ADDITION to their usual banners, and band Of
music in car; ; the Fillmore Rangers at large with
the Old f'lmore banner at their head the Washing
ton Club; the thirty.one young ladies representing
the States in carriages escorted by members of the
Union Club, on foot, and lighted by members of the
Union Hussals with their transparencies, on horse,
back; the Union Club the Algiers Club the DON
e'son Club; the Constitution Club the Junior
Fillmore and Crescent Clubs the American Club.
With their triumpha carriage; the National Club !:
the Rough and Ready Club, with their new and beau
titul Fillmore banner; the Pelican Club, and the
Junior Pelican Club.
We cannot estimate how long the procession was or
how many people were in it but of this we are GER
'ln that it was the largest and most brilliant politi-
cal procession ever seen in New Orleans. The enthu-
slasm that greeted it was proportonate to the i'm
menslty OF the mutudes that gathered along the line
Oh march to see it, an unbroken chorus OF cheers fol-
lowed 1t from one end Of the city to the other and
the ladies' shook their kerchiefs from veranda and
balcony and window, in Il manner that showed their
enthusiasm to be up to the highest pitch also After
marching down as far as Esplanade street, and up
Chartrcs, Camp and Magazine to Thalia the process.

to Canal where it diSbanded and the Clubs for
the last time, but with exuItation that knew no
limit separated and wended their way homeward
a ffnrt tha bo1
people continued to surge tbroughthe streets for the
enthusiasm of the night too high for everybody
think of going Immediately to bed.
And thus ended series of political demonstrations
such as, we venture to say, never had parallel in
this country. For ten consecutive Saturday nights
the weather, by singular good luck, always being
clear and pleasant-the Fillmore masses of New Or
leans have turned out, held mass meetings. and para.
ded the city, with that enthusiasm which the con
scousness of being engaged in noble cause ever
bcgets in honest aud manly hearts-cach succeeding
demonstration exceeding its predecessor in might ant
briancy-and the concluding one eclps!ng the
whole forming one of those spectacles that people
love to talk about in after years, and that children
when they grow up, describe to their children.
The Fillmore Rangers an organization, are dis
banded; but the Rangers as individuals exist, and WI
bid them God speed in the labor that they will per
form for their noble chcttain tomorrow knowing
well, that whatever fate betide the contest, they viii
still live, and spring phnnX-like from their retire
ment whenever future political insanties shall threater
the dissolution of this glorious Republic at present
