Great Bally of Democrats and Ten Thousand People, in Line, Grand Illuminations, The people of New Orleans have been in the habit of referring to the great Democratic torchlight procession of as one of the greatest events of the kind that ever occurred in this city. The Democrats and Reformers, looking forward to the great event of last night, did not dare to even hope for a display of equal magnitude yet, that grand ult'air of 1808 has been equalled, not perhaps, in paraphernalia and trappings, but possibly in the exact! number of men participating, aud certainly in the extraordinary enthusiasm of the participants. At an early hour a large body of metropolitan police were massed at the junction of St. Chares and Canal streets, but for what purpose can cm be conjectured. It was understood to mean intimidation.

On the occasion of the Liberal procession there was nothing of the kind. If it was intended thereby to intimidate, the purpose failed. As the crowd gathered on Canal street, and the lively dead men, in column after column, came pouring into Canal street, the disappeared. There was never a grander sight than the procession of last night. By eight o'clock.

Canal street was packed with thousand upon thousands of people from the Levee to Rampart. Many hiuses were brilliantly Ulumin house of the Seymour terns, as were also the establishments of Messrs. Gueble Nipper D. Lopez, Madame Sophie and Mr. Kuutz.

It was part ic ularly distinguished from that dots than enthusiastic: they indicated an indescribable vigor and moral couYage that promise a campaigi all svhatev endless task to describe i incidents of the niaht. the lonfe line wended its way to Jose phine street and thence on the return.
