New Orleans daily crescent., 1860-10-09

The alternating sunshine and cloud yesterday, |
with several sprinkles Of rain, rendered il doubtful
to many whether the postponed mass meeting Of
the Union party would be able to take place as
announced.
The evening brought along clear sky and an
outpouring of the population such as we never be.
fore saw in this city.
4 On Canal Street.
A large fan shaped platform was erected on
the river side of the Clay Statue, covering that
part of the street circle toward the river.
large illuminated arch, with the famous patriotic
phrases Of jackson, Clay and Webster, was erect
ed over the statue Of the Sage Of Ashland
The sky being starlight, and the weather fair in
every respect, the outpouring of the population,
into Canal and the neighbor.ng streets, was
altogether tremendous. The verandas and bal
comics and windows were crammed, and the streets
ammed. The whole population, or the most Of it,
appeared around the central part of the city.
There being a dense crowd, as we have de-
scribed in Canal street aud the neighboring streets
(long before the clubs began to arrive,) the mee,
ing was called to order by Mr.. E. J. Solomon, and
the following list of officers read off and unanimous
ly approved

oY The lateness of the hour of this writing forbid
| our giving any detail of the speeches made.
, Three speakers addressed the vast multitude
Mr.. Harry Hays, Mr.. N. A. Foute, and Col. A. P
Field. The vast multitude, and the unprecedented
appearance of the illuminated street, seemed Il
inspire each of the speakers with more than hi
wonted eloquence, and all succeeded in sending
their voices far enough to arouse perfect hurri
cane of enthusiasm all around the oratorical cen
ter. 1t would please us to give some details of the
speeches made, were it in our power. This was
impossible, SO great and so brilliant was the assem-
bage of the clubs, whilst the speaking was going
| on. 5--.,.s.. z...- -.-5....-
/ Canal street was blazing river of varegated
fire for squares long before the speaking had
ceased. The last speaker, Col. Field, very sensi
bly, cut, short off his stentorian and telling expo
sion of Sdell and his manifesto, tnotwithstand
ing the cries Of "go on, go on!) because hi
knew the bone and sinew of the Constitutions
party were ranged around in the clubs far beyont
the reach of his powerful voice.
The Procession.
After the adjournment of the meeting, the sci
of fire on Canal street spun itself out into rop
or rainbow of fire, heading down Royal street
We never saw in this city anything to equal th
rush and the crowding of the population to witnes
this procession. The glut Royal street extende,
all the way down to Esplanade, and all the wa.
up, as far as the procession went.
The procession was SO long and so splendid, il
every respect, that we feel we would be doing
injustice, in attempting, at the late hour at whicl
we write, to give any particular account of it
Nothing approximating to it was ever before seel
in New Orleans.
Those who saw the procession, and its gorgeor
display of banners, wreaths and flowers the ney
) clubs that Wed with the elder clubs IN their mill
tary style Of dress and drill with their torches in
stead of guns, and their elegant appearance gene
rally: the great length of the procession, thoug
j many of the clubs marched four and six abreast
the illumination Of houses and gardens and the dis
charges of yariegated fireworks; the presentatio
of banners and wreaths before the procession an
7 during ITS mafSh; the showers OF rlbboned bou
quets that fell upon the procession from the crowd
ofladies on the balconies; the tumultuous presenc
and enthusiasm of the people, male and female, oil
and young, everywhere the popping of rocket
from the head of the procession in end of town
with similar popping from the tail part in tn
other end Of town-all this constituted spectacl
such as certainly never before has been witnesse
Y in New Orleans; spectacle to which, as we hay
already intimated, we would do rank injustice di
+ we attempt to describe its various and particua
i points Of interest.
e Tomorrow we will endeayor to give some az
i count of the splendid club turnouts. and OF th
different pleasing events which we have not nol
the time or room to describe.
el ASTIPArHY OF LIKE TO LIKE.-Wherever tw
, natures have great deal in common, the cond
: tions of firstrate quarrel are furnished read
made. Relations areyery apt to hate each oths
just because they are too much alike. 1t is frigh
ful to be in an atmosphere of family idiosyncrasie
to see the hereditary uncomeliness or iDtfrmity
body all the defects of speech all the failings
: temper, intensified by concentration SO that ever
u fault of our own finds itself multiplied by refe
g tions, like our images in a saloon lined with mi
Z r0rs. Nature knows what she is about. The ceI
. triingal principle which grows out of antipathy
like for like Is only the repetition in character
y an arrangement we see expressed materially
