Tho meeting called to express their fayoE
and to signify their adherence to the sd:
minisIration of President Johnson, it would
be but a weak application. Of words TO say
! was the largest, most enthusiastic and the
most patriotic ever held in this CITY,. Ia
no respect has Il ever hada parallel in the
past. AS the history of the last four years
has presented, in graduated succession, q
series of events of ever increasing interest
to the hearts aud hopes of the people, 80
each, from time 10 time, has been marked
on G,creScendO scale 10 the emotions they
have called forth in public. The meeting
last night marked the cIimsx to the popu-
lar tbpllition excited by the victories which
have brought the rebellion to q successful
issue-ViCtories which have restored the
Union and made the republic glorious
tor all time. The heroic general who
has principally achieved those trtumphs
was, however, the object of the popular
ovation last evening. Throughout the day
his name bad been on every lip. his praise
on every tongue; his generalship aud his
glorious, victories the theme discussed
everywhere, and tens of thousands looked
forward to The evening", when they hoped
to greet him with a diapason OF applause
which would in some measure express the

for the commencement of the proceedings
the large space in front of the Institute
WAS jammed by an eager multitude, while
on the avenues leading thereto crowds were
pressing to the scene, in hopes to catch q
glimpse Of the hero whom grateful peo-
pie delights to honor. Many of those who
held tickets made early appltcatio1 for ad

they possessed this taIIismanio sesame, and
were, consequently, secure of an entrance,
