tensibIy in honor Of the return Of Gen. McClellen
The papers give long accounts Of the affair. The
Sun (Repubhcan) says ''2'i.,',e >@.-,s'.s :
whoever saw the magnificent Democratic
meeting at UnionSquare last evening must have
felt that the Democrats are not all dead yet What
a e glare Of torches! What myriads, Of peoplel-
What scores of eloquent orators The Republican
organizations had better not disband pit present
There is something left apparently for them to do
Therejis no denying that Democrats are still!vers
The Herald remarks: .! 1T cannot be denied
that the grand Democratic demonstrations of Last
night surpassed in numbers and enthusiasm any
public affair of like kind since October 1859, when
the Douglas, Breckinridge and Bell Democracy
fused in opposition to the Radical Republican
nominations Of Abraham, Lincoln and Hannibal
Hamlin That perhaps, was the grandest dem
onstration ever made by the Democratic, party iD
New York, and the turnout Of last night was only
second to it in briliancy and character" aia, :.
>gA A dispatch describing the turnout says Dfhe
procession hadin it's ranks, according to theesti'
mate Of an experienced police captain, over soi;;
600 persons. After junction had been, effected
with the delegations from adjoining counties, the
length of the procession exceeded ten miles. Eye
ry ward was largely represented, and the banners
and tranparencies were numerous. Several bands
accompanied each delegation, playing the Star
Spangled Banner and other national airs The
scene in Union Square was grand The main
stand represented the temple. of Liberty, and was
brilliantly illuminated by strings of lights stretched
to Tammany Hail. and the streets in the vicinity
seemed literally ON fire with calcium lights, rock
cts, fire paintings and fire balloons. The main
stand facing Broadway was the centre OF attraction
outside of Tamlnany Hall, although there were siz
other stands at which speeches were made to the
immense throng, roughly estimated e at half NIL
lion men, women and children. The crowd stretch
ed completely down Broadway to Eleventh-street
and even as far as Spring street the thoroughfare
was well filed, while scores of the cross streets
were alive with citizens. -. 4

| it to have been an immense demonstration The
World, Democrat, is jubilant over the great sue
cess and enthusiastic spirit of the meeting. ''1.

A Significant Letter. '.'r..'i
The State Central Democratic Executive
Committee of South Carolina, recently invited
Hon. John Quincy Adams, the Democratic candi
date for Governor of Massachusetts,, to visit thi:
State and address the people on the political is
sues before the country. His letter of reply anc
acceptance is q marvel of candor, and in our opin
ion is true statement of the condition ofpolitca
feeling among the mass of people in the Northern
States with reference to the South. We make the
following extracts from Mr.. Adams letter:
Il am as anxious as you can be to sec kindly re-
lations and faternal feelings replace the sore and
angry suspicion which prevails upon both sides Of
our land, nor would any labor daunt me in such
cause but am more powerless than you are te
promote such result. You greatly exaggerate
any influence of mine, misled doubtless by the ae,
cidcnt of an historic name. represent nothing in
Massachusetts, but comparatively small and very
unpopular minority, and am regarded as hardly
than yourselves by the majority. Nothing that
could do or say, if visited you, would be likely to
