From An Occasional Correspondent
BosToN, Nov. 4, 1856.
suppose you may have furious storm for your
election, as bad weather usually travels from you
toward us. The dawn was overcast, at least
take it for granted it Was, for did mt see tat
any rate, 1.-THE morning lowered - and heavily
the clouds brought ON the day, the great, the
important day, that is big with fate, IN
deed. IL is what we call dry storm in these
parts, so that you need not fear that any voters
will be kept from the polls except such as do not
choose to co. 1t is impossible to say az yet two
o'clock p H. how the day is going. But yol will
be glad to know (though you will know 1t hours
before the tagging post will bring this letter along)
that at this present there is every reasonable pros
pect of Mr.. Burlingames election. His election
oyerpowers in interest, hereabouts, even that felt
in the vote for Fremont. There being no great
doubt how the vote Of the State will 60, President
wise the base att& mpt to ndOrse Br0Okss assault
| on Mr.. Sumner by defeating Mr.. Burlingame (tor
this is the precise point on which the election
turns) naturally absorbs the local feeling tor the
day. How it will be when the dispatches begin to
come in from the other States / cannot say. But
Mr. BurliDgame's election is one that should be,
and / believe is regarded, as a matter in which
the hole NJ nth is concerned quite a. much as his
own district, let it go how it may.
But took up my pen, which has been so long
idle TO tell you about the reception of Mr. Sumner
yesterday. Happily, he weather behaved then to
admiration. The day hardly could have been timer
had the Committee of Arrangements had their pick
out Of the entire year. So the streets presented
early in the after noon holiday appearance. And
vet there was an air Of seriousness on almost all
faces which indicated stronger feeling than that
excited By vulgar holiday or any common show.
Horseme en- were 10 be seen in all directions repair
ing " the various places of rendezvous, and men
and women and children were pressing up toward
the Neck " here the first reception was ~ be had,
or taking up early positions along the streets or
near the State House so a. 10 the procession
witness the reception by the Governor. Az the
hour approached when Mr.. Sumner expected
a large crowd Was assembled near the boundary
,ire Of Boston, where be was 70 be welcomed by
the Hon Josiah Quincy. This gentleman was not
inappropraely selected, by far the Oldest public
msn in the city, and one who h.d been present or
assisted at almost every public occasion Vt the kind
since tie formation If the Federal Government.
Ard the scere, when the man Of near eighty-6ve
Winters spoke the sense OF their native city to the
nen IN the prime OF bis years, on whose head an
assassin Dad laid the weight OF many years, but Of
years crow ned with honors and deseryings, and
when the multitude sent up answering shouts, was
ore not soon to be- forgotten.
As the procession moved on the street. were
lined with people, and the windows thronsed with
ladies', and there seemed 10 be heart and soul 10
tie demonstration that has never been approached
here, unless when Lafayette was received IN l7<''
and not surpassed then. Mr.. Quincy, who per-
formed the grateful task OF welcoming The nations
guest, and " hose memory embraces every occasion
VI the Kind as far back a. Washington 'irt 10
l7-9. declared that none Of them eqaaled thi- In
every and OF completeness tina, IL 'nona naIe.
Flowers were .bowered upon ar. sumner as ne

buried in bouquets. Cheer: welcomed him az be
