TIE UNION DEMONSTRATION IN New
1oRK.-Thc Now York papers speak in tho
most eXtrNvaSant terms of the great Union
demonstration, on Tuesday evening last. The
procession WAS seven miles in length, and cx-
cceds anything of the kind ever before wit
messed in chat city We suppose there never
was such demonstration of political char
actar, for, in such an affair, excellence in New
York is excellence in the world. The New
York Times admits that there were twenty
five thousand, and the Ucyuid claims that there
was upwards of thirty thousand We have
not much hope of New York, though we be-
lIeve the fusion movement is gaining ground,
and probably might prevail if they had one
month more to fight the battle Cam1iuion.
