THE RY'xDERs UNION RALLY.


FIFTr1rN THOUSAND MEN AND BOYS IN LINE
40 DISTURBANCE AND LITTLE ENTHUSIASM
C,.ntain Isaiah Rynders had triumph last night.
e. nroeetsion was an immense thing, and rs he led it
,b,ouob the DIVIDED streets the glory Of hero sur
round.d him. The glory Of common principle AMI
mating great movement in no degree dimmed 1t. 1t
was the triumph Of a strong viii acting upon dis
Organized and dsordered body-the Democratic gal
yauism of corpse to stay the power of dissolution
What vast knowledge of the lower elements Of the
population could do and large material aid could DO,
R,nders did. To him be the glory!
II is pity that the triumph should have fallen short
Of the purpose It'll burning shame that such very
large army of men, with many torches and banusrs
ard cannonf, and bands, was not 30 numerous oy
sbout three thousand souls as the other army-tne
Wide-Awakes which defled over the sane ground
not long since, We give Capt. Rynders fifteen tnou
sand for bis entire turnout. The head OF tho hue
reached the Metropolitan Hotea good central poiot-
al 10 minutes after O'Clock. The time In passing WAS
three hours less few minutes. Our careful eouu'
reached III when the end Of the procession was ds
tant from the opohtan three blocks For THIS suf
plus we can afford to allow considering, az toe saie
Tina the natural alps Of the sight, as many as 2oVo
individuals The bands, of which, both grea' ana
smsn, pipeYs, drum nerboys, and regular blowers
there were sxty by our calculation may have told Blk
hundred more The figures keep us down TO hfteen
thousand.
Thew seemed thirty. If the army had been In poe
session of that glorious and inspiring article, cause,
the deficiency in numbers might not have been felt or
noted. The effect morally, would have been Just as
great "a II the ranks had numbered thirty fifty thou
sand. But az mathematical experiment, eveo Capt.
Rynders would prefer to have the great procession
viewed, and as an experiment Of numbers against
the little Republican proposition elucdsted by the
torches Of the wiis-Awakes the ether day. it was not
90 successful as was anticipated.
The procession marched very badly, just as If re-
treating from Geld in only toersby good order This
fact told badly in the comparison that was invited with
the other procession. The public remembered how
soli6Iy and evenly the Wide-Awakes moved onward
their close and solid aud manly columns-the grand
flow of their wide stream of Eghtthe quickness with
which their twenty thousand covered the route, the
| companies all dismissed by midnight.
The public with all their love for the Union and
sdnraion Of Cit Ryuders could not shut their Dyes
to the confused and struggling masses of last nigh-to
the great gaps that constantly yawnei upon them-to
the playful squads of small boys, and rambling rou Of
men in no uniform but their plain clothes-to the long
pauses, and the general effect of an inhsrmonious
wriggle Of FIRE Of all colors Perhaps the public drew
an inference from the fact tina. of all the marchers the
only men who looked like business were those FORM
ing companies of Minute Men, &C., who borrowed
their tactics from the Wide-Awakes.
Hw the procession got together in the lower part Of
the Island we are the crowds that waited its
approach all along Broadway from the point of gather
ing at the Park Union Square did not care to know
bu. there was but one sentiment of admiration for the
prompiude which brought the van lights along at the
reasonable hour Of nine. Circulation was then en-
tirely practicable on the sidewalks. The street
corners were well filed and lines of people formed as
cote 80 possible TO the track of the parade and back
Of them other lines upon the curb, and over there in
many windows, groups Of ladies, not sufficiently
numerous, however, to make veritabe display such
as the Wide.Awakes aud the Prince Of Wales saw.
Beyond the illuminated transparencies Of the Union
Democracy there was little decoration, other
knowledgment of the event. The enthusiasm Of the
| Southern carriage warerooms on Broadway, near
Spring street. found vent in oose illumination of the
premises and the old Japanese lanterns got little
fresh air from few Of the windows of the Metro
poltsn.
Grand-street stage bore a calcium light in front of
the procession; Captain Rynders rode lively stead
after it, surrounded by chosen guard; him followed,
at pretty much its pleasure as to time and distance,
the whole body polite The disposition Of the Wards
was without particular referenceto number. Crowded
ranks Of shirtsleeved persons were mprovsed into
Clubs which they often brandshed with their hands
| The men were awkward with their torches, and in
efforts to emulate the drill of the Minute Men, came to
grief spilled their oil, and shed light twas part
the labor of the march to fore back the people aud
get passageway, which the people wondered they did
not take long time before.
There was no expense spared in the matter Of glory.

behind the houses while their and Inhabitants
were stil trembling in dread of the fiery shafs 1t
was good part Of the amusement which beguied the
tramp to aim the explosive candles at people aud
things that offered a shot.
The devices were very nerous, and some Of them
novel and attractive The cavacades of horlemen and
the chariots in which rode the of mind for each
dvision we quite lost sight of in the blaze and catter
of the vehicles In which little dramas of patriotism, and
cheerful industry, and domestic joy were enacted. We
regret to say that the worst taste was dsplaye in
many Of the emblems and notices The first
mammoth picture represented Mr.. Greeley and a
large coloIed woman, each at the end of pole,
with which Mr. Lincoln was weighing them; aud
from the ungaceful attitude of Mr.. Greeley
it was to be Inferred that the scales went
against him. The motto wac, "Niggerism, the Over
