The DemooratIa Iubileo.

The rain fell Ia torrents yesterday morning. ana
the sntire day cloudy and unpleasant A day
more uncomfortable for an outdoor demonstration
osn scarcely be imagined. Notwithstanding the
unproptious state of the Westher, large crowds be-
gan to pour into the city, while the rain continued
ts pour down. One of the finest displays We have
ever seen was made by the indOmitable Democracy
Of old Williamson, who, to the number Of two hun
dred, mOunted on horses, each msn bearing lance.
made their appearance upon Church street early IN
the day, preceded b. fIe brass band. Williamson
had challenged her sister counties for contest t.
the-number and good locks Of the delegation she
would send up, and undoubtedly she would have
come of victorious even under more favorable
weather, understand at least half her delega-
ton turned back yesterday morning on account Of
the iRclemOnt weather. As it was, they made
Ane display, and fairly won tse victory of sending
the hsndsOmest delegation to the Jubilee When
Williamson friends arrived opposite our office,
they hOnOred US With three hearty cheers, and then
marched TO the Public Square wberethey gave three
cheers for Gov. HAMS with cOrdislity which
shows the popularity Of our excellent Chief Magis-
trAte with the people.
The rain continuing to pour down, it was soon
found that the extensive arrangements for oRe Of
ths finest bsrbecues ever given in Nashville and
speaking at Watkins Grove would have to be abau-
d0ned, and arrangements were made to have de-
mOnstration at the Court House. At noon the large
room in the third story of the Court House was
densely packed by enthusiastic Democrats who had
come up here from every part of the State to join
with each other in grand jubilee over the brilliant
victory the Democratic party had achieved 8. the
ballOt-bOx in August. There we're thousands, how
ever, who could not gain access to the room, and
they enjoyed themselves in looking round at our
beautiful city
The unPropitiOus weather, in rendering the bar
beCue impossible disappointed cur citizens greatly
With pleasant day, the demonstration would have
been smang the most imposing ever witnessed in
The State. As il was, the number of people from
the surrounding countless as well as from this coun-
ty in the city, was very large, and an enthusiasm
was manifested which is beyond the influence Of
circumstances, and which the weather could not
dampen.
Col. J. C. GUILD, Of Sumner county. was chosen
President, and list Of Vice Presidents and Secre
taries representing nearly all the counties in this
division of the State and large portion of the
counties the East and West.
The large hall in the court-house was filled with
an enthusiastic crowd Of Democrats Able and
eloquent speeches we're made by Gov. RARAIs, Hon.
JAMES II. THOMAS, Hon. W. t. AvERY, Col. FME,
Of Kentucky, and r. G. PAYNE, ESQ, of Memphis
We are unable to report even an outline of these
speeches to-day; butpurpcse more extended notice
hereafter.
Last night there was one of the largest assem-
blsges we have ever witnessed in Nashville at the
capitol, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. At
the time We were obliged to leave, to prepare this
notice. Mr.. NICHOLSON was speaking. We must re-
eerve fuller notice of the concluding proceedings
for another day.
