e THE GRAND RALLY.
Last night was period that will long
be remembered by the people of Nashville
Ii was the occasion Of the uprising of the
disenthralIed masses of freemen. The
spirit of '76, of 40 and of IA was truly
resurrected from its heightened slumbers
The bare announcement made some DAYS
previous that there would be grand iolli-
fication on the occasion of the return of the
Tennessee delegates from New York, could
hardly, even in the hearts of the most san
culinary, have eliminated in a grander
triumph than was witnessed here, where
the hydra-headed monster RadicGlism has
for so long time held undisputed sway.
1t was truly glorious affair. No meeting
of the kind has occurred in our midst since
the palmiest days of the great Democracy.
We we're delighted and felt more like
throwing up our hats and crying "Hip
hip! hurah for Democracy r. than we have
experienced for twenty years.
