city on Tuesday evening, represented to have been
grand affair. 1t is stated that there were 81 900
men in the ranks the adherents of Douglas, Breck
inridge and Bell, respectively, mostly from New
York and Brooklyn, but many clubs from the ada
cent cities. The streets full of people, fire.
works, music and shouting all night long, and
many an ardent politician probably didn't ego
home till morning" The Times (Republican) J
gives the following account oft:
The Fusion demonstration in this city last even
ing, was undoubtedly success, in regard to the
extent OF the procession, and the general display
throughout the almost interminable line. In fact it
was all that those who created it had promised, In
point of numbers and variety of embellishments At
an early hour in the evening the various Douglas,
breckenridge and Bell and Everett delegations
from Kings county, Queens county and Richmond
county; from Jersey city, Hoboken, Patterson
New Brunswick, Perth, Amboy Newark, Philadel-
phla, and elsewhere, began to pour into the city,
and make their way to their several rendezvous;
and soon afterwards the Ward Associations of the
city were under way, carrying banners with
strange devices, and most of them preceded by at
least fife and drum.
At o'clock the city was ablaze with burning
torches, and the air was burdened with rockets,
Roman candles, lamp smoke, and 81 wish was in
Dixy. There were in the several divisions at this
time, probably, about 25 900 persons-some arraved
In red Shirts some in white, some in uniform coats
many In their everyday apparel, and all, together
with their banners, transparencies, temples of Lib
erty, boats on Wheels and torches in hand, forming
an exciting spectacle. The gathering of the people
upon the sidewalks, and at the doors and windows
along the line of the procession, was very great
1t could not well have been greater-and the enthu
siasm with which the companies received as
they passed along, all that could have been de-
sired. There was peculiarity about it, however
which was occasioned by the peculiar character of
the procession.
AT points several companies would pass
without any decidedly favorable recognition, while
the next would be cheered vociferously, the ap-
piause depending upon which of the three distinct
parties that made up the procession, happened to
have the largest number of friends, at any given
point OF view. This, however, did not mar the
generally favorable reception which the representa-
tiVes OF the three parties received from the great
mass OF the spectators. The banners-many of
them-were well executed, and the boats and some
OF the decorated vehicles and the transparencies
mad been prepared at considerable expense, and
added greatly to the general effect of the demon.

LINCoLN's CABINET.
The Richmond Enquirer has a leading editorial
from which we make the following extract:
"Lincoln regards his election as so certain that
ms private agent is already engaged it is said in
arranging his Cabinet. The post of Secretary of
state, according to one account we have heard, is
to be offered to Virginiap, whose acceptance has
been implicitly If not positively received; while the
Attorney Generalship will be bestowed upon a
South Carolinian. This, if it be true is arranged
IN the spirit OF peace Offering as the most efec-
i've pocy for accomplishing the final subjugation
of the slaveholding States. Does Mr. Bolts, or Mr.
Rlves, or Mr.. Etheridga, or Mr.. Anybody y-else who
Is not the merest of political adventurers accent
VIII either consent to so outrage the putlic opinion
OF OF their fellow citizens ito so dshonor the fair
lame OF their respective Commonwealth?
GREELEY AND SEWARD.
Mr. Greeley, who has been spoken of in some
quarters candidate for the United States Sena-
torship to succeed Governor Seward, refers to the
subject over his own signature in Tuesdays Tri
Dune, and without SAYING whether he is or is not
candidate, calls upon Mr.. Seward to say whether
he himself means to be.
Horace says Il now call upon Governor Sew
ard, as matter OF simple justice to the anti-grid-
iron Republicans of our state to state that he will
or Will not consent to reelection and to serve
third term. If he will, feel that he will re-
ceive every kepublcan vote in our next Legislature

LOUISVILLE Oct. 23.-Mr. Yancey eloouently ad

Court House. His address included no new points.
In the Westmoreland Senatorial District of Vir-
ginia, Critcher, {Be is elected by 294 majority
Fillmore had 296 majority in 1856, and Goggin
(Whigl had last year 273 majority in the same dis
trlct. There has therefore been no gain for Bell
worth mentioning.
REMARKABIE SuIcIDE.--A grocer's apprentice, a
young man of 25, named Arsene, who loved litera
ture neither wisely nor well, hung himself in his
masters house, in Paris. Upon his table, amid
heap OF books, was found the following letter. the
photography of which was not on a oar with the
style:
