As anticipated, from the extensive preparations
made the meeting in front of the city hall last
evening, TO ratify the nomination of Breckenridge

Sstic affairs of the kind gotten up in this city

sons were upon the ground. At early hour d
band commenced playing enlivening airs from the
building porticO of the west wing of the city hall,
which had been appropriately arranged for the par-
pose. and beautifully decorated with flags of va
rious descriptions, above all of which hoated the
American ensign, suspended by long pole extend
ing from the top of the building. The music from
the band attracted large number to the spot,
and the crowd continued to increase until the hour
of meeting had arrived. and every available posi-
ton for considerable distance round was taken
possession of. During the progress of the meeting
professions arrived from the various wards accom-
panied by music, and displaying numerous tranSpa-
rencies with appropriate devices inscribed upon
them. We have not room to publish all of their
timents, which were generally racy and very much
10 the point, but present the following an indca
ton of the whole:
