[Here follows a full descriptionloCttie Proceorion,

of THREE 'MILES in extent, walking in platoons
of eight and ten abreast. A full description 'of the,
Procession will appear in the Log Cabin of Wednes
day next.] ,
As the precession moved on through the city . and
stretched'out a lengthened line, the array was inost
imposing. Ruch en immense concourse moving like
ati army With banners;" never before on such an
occasion throngeil our avenues—while from one end
of the mighty column to the other, loud acclamations
run, renewed from rank to rank, and bespeaking the
strongest enthusiasm which prevailed in every heart.
Baltimore street was one long Gidlely of Beauty.
Innumerable white handkerchiefs waved by; fair
hands, greeted each advancing pennon, arid to the
waving of handkerchiefs and to smiles, and bright
glances from! the windows, the Young Whigs return
ed loud cheers with uplifted hats. 'lt may be Biddy
calculated that for every three rounds given for the
Whig cause'generally, one was especially devotiiil to
the Ladies of Baltimore. From (Baltimore street
bridge the view of the coming procession, was in the
highest degree striking, and gave every comprehen- .
sire sight 'of the multitude—inaminch as from Pore
Street to thiepoint the avenue is perfectly straight,
while a alight eleiation at the bridge afforded a com
manding view of the whole distance westward. The
wide thorough fare of Baltimore street viewed 'from
that point, seemed wedged by a solid Masi, of men,
no end could be seen to the lengthened colUmn.
The extent of the procession could not have been
less than three miles, marching in platoons sir to ten
abreast.
Throughout the whote course of the. procession as
far as therestremity of the city, the most cheering
demonstrations were given from windows, doors, and
crowded baleonies. In several of 'the streets flags
and mottoes Were suspended scream and on one house
in . Market street, F. P. a splendid "oil paintin g of
Gen. Harrison was suspended amidst patriotic deco
rations.—The procession loudly cheered it as it pas..

the meeting of the Contlention, the procession pas

All the speakers urged the necessity of union and
activity. and appeared to be animated by I single
impulse. The whole multitude seemed to have
caught the
,spirit of the speakers; conciliation, u
nion and vigilance, were the watchwords of all.—
Every delegation gave highly favorable Geminate of
the Whig party in their seetions of the country. •

One subject yet remains to be mentioned. A
murder was committed upon the person of one of
the Whig Maribals of the Eighth Ward Tio
Club on Monday. I knew the fact when =
to you befine; but as I was not aware of the course
the fnenthr of the murdered victim of Loco Maoism
intended to pursue, I did not feel at liberty to intro.
duce the subject to the public. •
Before the march of the procession in the morn
ing, a party paraded up Ind down the street along
which our procession was arranged, with a stuffed
figure dressed; in a red petticoat. The general ex.
pressien of the Whigs, on seeing this appropriate
Van Buren banner, was to let them march on with.
out molestation. They accordingly were permitted
to go on their way rejoicing ender their banner.—
On their return, not gadded with a peaceable pro.
cession, they crowded on the Whigs stationed on
Pace street, and attempted to bear them down; in
the twinkling oleo eye, their banner was torn into
shreds, and the whole party was quietly marched
out of the Whig' ranks. • No personal injury was
inflicted on them. It appears that this same party
'baying obtained another emblem 'of their chid. at
tempted to intrude themselves into thrranks of the
Tippecanoe 'Club of the Eighth Ward. Mr. Laugh

attempt to keep the Whig ranks unbroken, he was

and died immediately. He was a young man, land

“ History mentions no such gathering of people
since'that in the' Champ, de Mars to swear to the
Constitution. Whether we speak of the numbers
present, their boundless enthusiasm, or the vast ter

United Staid Senators deserting Yam: Buren.—
The Hon. John Ruggles, U. 8. Senatorfrom Maine,
in reply to an invitation ,to attend the Baltimore
onvintion, says :
a The necessity of a'quunge of measures with a
view to the'tefted of a piople suffering beyond any
former 'sample, is now manifest to all, if not ac
knowledged by all. No small portion of those who
aided in bringing into power the present incumbent
of the Executiie chair, have witnessed with painful
disappointment the pertinacity with which he has
persevered in forcing l opon the country s system of
measures destructive of its best interests andruinous
to the enterprize and bueiness of the people. And
they have resolved, as the only means left of staying
the progress of these measures, to aid in calling
from retirement a distinguished citizen, whose en
lightened patriotism, great practical wisdom and
sound republican principles; have secured for him the
highest respect and confidence. The name of Har
rison has animated the -whole country with hope.—
It has reused an enthusiasm which pervades all
grades and classes of the people. That enthusiasm
chastened by wise counsels and hallowed by patriot
ism, wiU be the animating principle of the "Nation
al Convention."
Reflecting, as its members will, the principles and
feelings of the great majority of the Peoplethrobgh
out the Union, their deliberations will be no less na-'
tional in their eharacter than patriotic in their design;
and will tend, it is confidently believed, .to harmon
ize and invigorate the efforts of the nation to place
the Executive government into the handl done who
has never yet disappointed the expectations of his
country. He rho, by his bravery in the field, re
deemed the [inor of the ]ration, when betrayed by
treachery and cowardice,. will not fail to correct by
his wisdom and prudence the errors of the Govern
ment under which the country is severely suffering.
Thanking the Delegates from the City of Balti

tlemen, for the, acceptable terms in which it is con
veyed, I have the honor to be, With sincere regard,
Your obedient servant,
