Clinton for ‘Secretary of State, assembled ia full force in the Park last evening. The arrangements for this fentival of the ‘Na- tionals,”’ the purpose of which was to ratify the nomina- tions mede at the convention above named, were well made, and at an early hour the crowd began to assemble, ‘The speaker's stand was erected in the esplanade in ‘front of the facade cf the City Hall. Bloomfeld’s sand occupied the piazza, and at five o’clock commenced to play martial airs. In the rear of the stand a saluto of one hundred guns was fired. The front of the stand was draped with the American fag. A medallion, life size, of Gen. Lewis Cass was placed between the flags. At a very carly hour the hard: nanded democracy began ‘to asvemble in large numbers, in pursuance of the fol- lowing manifesto, which was printed in the vapious pspers ef the city:— Narrowat Democnacy—Tue Constrrurion anv ts Com- PRomises—Prerce AND THe Bautimone PLATFORM, AND THE SPEEDY ENLARGEMENT OF THE CANALS.

A$ half piss ovo the esplanade was covered with ent- thusiastic ndberenis of the hard shell cause, The best of feeling seemed to prevail among them all, and though asveral noisy political disputes occurred, yet they were all conducted in the best humor. The scene was a most interesting one. The earnestness and impulsiveness of the audience—the thunder of the cannon—the enliven- -ing strains of the band, all coatributed to make up one of the most epirited and exciting public democratic gath- erings that we ever witnessed, I: was a great time for ‘the hards and their supporters. At ten minutes past six, Mr. J. M. Marsu called the ‘vast aseemblage to order, and nominated Avaustus ScHELL tothe Chair, which nominaticn was ratified with ap- Plause.
