Mr. Kendall was elected chairman, but Mr.
Tom Florence was such de fdcto, for 1t was a.
his instance that Mr.. VIM. Finn read q long
list OF vice presidents and secretaries, and he
afterwards introduced MIR. J. +. Ennis, who
made speech in favor of the nominees and
heartily welcomed all who had lately come
nto the Democratic fold. He concluded by
Offering resolutions expressing devotion and
attachment to the Union, denouncing the Ad.
miDistration, and regarding Mr.. Lineoln's de-
claration requiring the abolis hment Of slavery
as revolutionary and calculated to make the
horrors Of war interminable; approve the
principles and platform enunciated by The
Chicago Convention, and endorsing the nomi-
nations Of Mcclellan and Pepdleton.
Mr. Florence put the question, and the res
olutions were adopted. He then introduced a
Mr.. VIM. ID. Parsons, who denounced the az
convert to democracy. Before Mr.. p. had con-
cluded the several ward delegations arrived,
and the transparencles Were huddled together

Mr.. +. A. Aiken was chief marshal OF the
celebration, and performed his part very cred
itably. There was band Of mueic upon the
center stand, and at intervals 1t discoursed
excellent music, which, with the fne pyrotech-
mic display, no doubt attracted handreds Of
those present to witness them; for by circu-
latlng among the crowd it was evident that
only that portion in the immediate vicinity OF
