Then cheering at their highest pitch, the process |

the city Of what metal the fourth ward Democ.
racy is composed. Their route embraced short
tour above Canal street. in which they passed BY
our Office, and in passing gave the CRESCENT
serenace and many cheers. Thank you, gentle
men.
We have forborne any notice of the enthusiasm
displayed wherever the Guards went last night,
of the crowds that lined the sidewalks through
the whole route, and of the many houses that
were illuminated in their honor, because such
things have so become the inevitable accompani-
ment of every demonstration in our cause, that to
tell of them might seem superhaity Of words.
Suffice ii to be said then that the enthusiasm dis.
played in every way n regard to this affair showed
no dminution from that which greeted the first OF
our demonstrations; for the hearts Of cur people
are in our cause. and they did not let that oppor-
tunity pass of demonstrating yet once more their
allegiance to the party OF truth and even handed |
Justice. the party OF peace and prosperity, the
party whose exponents and champions now are
