10y Tar the most successful political Gem
onstration, OF either party, in this county,
during the present campaign, occurred in
Plymouth, yesterday. 1t more than re-
allied the most sanguine expectations Of AL
engaged IN getting it up.
The appointment for the meeting was
not made by democrats Of this county but
by the democratic state central committee
and it was not decided until last Saturday
that any special effort should be made to
get out large crowd, or make any unu-
sual display. This left but three working
days in which to complete the arrange
ments for the demonstration but tie boys
went to work with will, and the result of
their labors was the most satisfactory.
we will not undertake to give detail
cd statement Of the procession or the other
proceedings Of the day as the time inter.
vening between the conclusion of the GER
emonios and putting cur paper to press, is
insufficient to do justice to the undertal,.
ing. To give the reader general idea oil
the procession, and its Distinguishing fea
lures, we append the following brief and
incomplete resume Of it: First, were the
White Boys in Blue, to the number of one
hundred, completely uniformed, marching
ia perfect oruer, and constituting, by gen
eral consent, the most attractive feature o.
the day. They were followed by the Bre
men cornet band, and they by q boys il
blue, mounted. Next came 33 couples o.
ladies' and gentlemen on horseback, who
were followed by 81 White Boys in Blue
Next was the Bourbon brass band,-
wagon neatly trimmed, and filed with
boys, in uniform wagon filled with
young ladies, all dressed in white;
wagon most elegantly and tastefuly deco
rated, forming part Of the Bourbon dele
egation,-next a Fenian wagon, appropri
ately trimmed with green,-a tableau. =
then the bondhoder's wagon, containing
faithful representations Of that oppressed
portion of our fellow citizens, sitting OF
elegant sofas, chairs and divans, with The
very truthful motto: 6 We pay no taxes.
Following this was the mechanics wagon
containing blacksmiths, harness makers
butchers, bankers and other mechanics
ition legislation has made too true: ave
pay thu bondholders' taxes" Following
these were the German cornet band, o.
this place. a gentleman of color" car
riea a banner bearing the inscription
1.-The freedman's bureau supports me-
He was followed by an aged, decrepid
man, whose banner said "And my labor
supports the freedman's bureau" The
remainder Of the procession was composed
of vehicles of every name and kind, and
men and women on horseback. We make
no estimate of the length of the procession
or the number of persons in town, further
than that the procession was miles in
length, and the number can be as nearly
ascertained by the acre as by the thousand
While we would make 20 invidious dis
tinctions, truth compels US to say that in
point of extent. elegance and general bean
ty of arrangement, the Bourbon delegation
bore off the palm, as they did at Warsaw,
few weeks ago. Taking into consldera-
ton the fact that they had twelve miles to
travel, over rough road, heir energy and
perseverance secured for them the warm
est commentator of all who saw them.
We took no notes of either the speech
of Mr.. IIoyne, in the afternoon, or of Mr.
Fuller, in the evening as the best rep TT
we could give OF them would come far
short of doing them justice. They were
able, eloquent and convincing; and the
