THE p E0PLE OUT EN- MASSE.
GREAT ToRC Hight PROCESSION.
But for the necessity of informing our neighbor-
ing country friends, and SO much Of the rest of
mankind as inhabit this Union, we would deem it
supcrfuous to describe the Bell and Everett de-
monstration of last night: for a very large major
ity of our voters and Taxpayers constituted it,
and all the rest of the city and its family turned
out to see it,
The assemblage of the Clubs at Lafayette
Square, approaching from their different quarters,
sufficiently enlivened the town. The streets every
where were crowded, and the windows, veran
dahs and galleries were crowded with the fair
bellies of New Orleans, who naturally feel a strong
sympathy for their masculine namesake, Bell
Lafayette square was sight to behold, with its
INTERVIEWING circles Of brazing torches and trans
pareneies Of every color and device. As this field
of fire unwound itself in procession for the mass
meeting at the Place d'Armes, and filed down
Camp street. the spectacle was gethersplendid
But of the procession we shall speak in another
place. ..-..@- @@'~
For some time before the head of the procession
reached the Place 'Armes the meeting had been
organized. It was called to order by Mr.. Solomon,
and the following gentlemen's names were read off
as the officers Of the meeting, and the list was
ratified by the already large multitude with the
heartiest nnanimity

The President, first making a few appropriate
remarks, in response to the compliment paid to
him, introduced the orator of the night, the Hon.
G. G. Langdon of Alabama, late Mayor Of Mobile,
and late editor of the Mobile Advertiser. He was
nearuy welcomed, anu MS speech more LlaH ileb
the anticipation Of the multitude.
There were strong and telling points in his ad-
dress. First stating that the Supreme Court of the
United States had laid down law granting all that
the South claimed, he asked what Yancey, and his
Breckenridge followers, wanted more. He spoke
of Yancey as traitor to his country, and as a man
who, if Gen. Jackson were President, would be
hung higher than Haaman.
He adverted to the unparalleled growth and
prosperity of this country, and wanted to know
what would be gained by its dissolution.
He spoke ofthe thousands of true patriots in the
| North, who have never affiliated with abolition
lists, and asserted that if serious abolition nva.
sion or negro insurreeton in the South were ever
to take place, the true men of the North would
take up their muskets and knapsacks to come to
the aid of the South.
He took up the accusations against Bell, as to
sympathy with FreesoiIers, ETC., and explained
that it was only the old trick of the enemy, who
had brought similar charges against Harrison, Clay
and Taylor.
He briefly alluded to the public record of Bell
and Everett gave an epitome of the public life
and acts Of each, and alluded to their present
standing before the iation as matter of pride and
triumph.
He came down heavily on the charge that the
Constitutional Union party has no platform. After
showing how the boasted platform of the Demoe
racy had been by different conventions kicked
away, plank after plank, leaving Buchanan, as i
were, dangling in the air, he proceeded to demon
strate that the platform entitled The Constitu
ton, the Union; and the Enforcement of the Laws,
was the only solid platform for tue friends of the
country to stand upon. He asserted, with grea
force, that the United States Supreme Court, tht
highest tribunal in the land, had laid down the law
from which there is no appeal-a law granting al
that is claimed by the South.
All we want, said Mr.. L., is SOME MAN TO EN-
FORGE THE LAW. We're Andrew Jackson President
and informed that fugitive slave in Northern
State had been rescued from an United State
| Marshal by mob violence, and the law set at de
fance he would say to lis next Marshal: 9 Exc
cute this warrants take tine negro and those wht
| rescued him. the United States army shall be a
your back, if necessary; but take them, else OF
goes your head The laws are all right; all tina
is wanted is an unliuehing man to enforce them
and in John Bell Of Tennessee the country will fin,
such man.
/ Mr.. Langdon closed with hearty compliment
to the party in this city and State, and expresse,
his belief that his own State, Alabama would q
for Bell and Everett. He was tremendousl,
cheered every minute or two during his speech
The arrival of the clubs necessitated considerable
lapse in his speech; but he said all he could sa,
within limited time, and spoke it out like MAJ
and true patriot.
The square was entirely full, and densel
crowded around the center A large part Of tn
multitude was hungry for more speaking. but tn
meeting was adjourned after Mr.. Langdon closed
in order to form the procession and march aroun
the city.
The procession fled down Rampant street, in tn
following order:
The Union Guard, a long and strong body wit
a banner bearing full-length portraits of Bell an
Everett and innumerable fanciful transparencies
The Young Bell Ringers, in great force, with
beautiful new banner bearing the portrait of job
i Bell, with the words, "Our next President y
also their big bell on truck ringing as it went
surmounted by a large transparency, with CT
pola of flags on top, and any number of varie
gated transparencies.
The Constitution Club, a long and magnifcen
