One Union Ticket to be Proposed to the Peopie. ESTO PERPETUA! &e., &e., &e, ‘The Cooper Institute and the surrounding district was last evening the scene of immense excitement, and a do. gree of public enthusiasm rarely equalled. From an early hour in the afternoon large crowds bogaa to assem. ble about the building, watehing the active preparations which were in progress for the great pational demonstra tion of the day, Hostrams aad stands #ere erecte! in front of the Inétitute, and flags and banners, bearing pa- trivtic devices, wore suspeniied all around. It scarcely nocersary to say that the aitraction was the grand na- tional mass meeting anpounced te be held by ail the friends of the Union, the constitatioa and the laws, aud ull who are oppored to black republicanism and to ite sec. tional and bloodthirsty doctrines. The national senti- ment was thoroughly arowved tn the matuds of the masses, and the people congregated in great numbers to show their devotion to constitutional principles and to the Union and perpetuity of the Siates. Among the thousands of distinguished gentiemea who took an astive part ia ‘this demonstration we may meation the following, who support the “Union for the sake of union’ — Henry Grinnell, Greeve C. Bronson, Peter 1 Nevins, Heo jamin Loder, W. Butler Duncan, Jeremub Towle, George B. Lamar, Aruoid, Constable & Co., Reuben Withers, J.B, Hobart laws, Henrye, S@ith & Towasend, Lewis A Sayre, Hiram Ketchum, A Lamont, Wm. P. Lee, M. 8 Whitney, Nathan C. Piatt, Samuel D.

M Connolly, Samuel Boardman, Geo. B. DeForest, Ber). M. Whitlock, ©. P. Schermerbora. ‘These gentiemen united in the calling upon their fellow citizens to join in the grand mass meeting, aa they wero ‘opposed to the republican party and ita privcipies, believ- ing that the @vecess of that psrty would prove injurious to the peace and prosperity of the country, The appeal ‘was answered by the mustering of thousands of froe and wae heartz, cvery oue of which beat steadily to the mu- Sic of fraternity and the Union. At seven o'clock the echoes of Clintom square, Astor Place, were aroused by the loud detonations of artiliery, pealing and reverborating for mil around. As time moved on the acy became luminous with maititades of rockets; and laaterne, torches and flambeaux fiashed forth brilliantly on every side, The excitement and ex- thusiaem were immense, and the people acted with » common purpose and a unity of feeling which bespoke earncetnces and a determivation to sapport the greet principles and the faith in which their fathere lived and died. ‘The Cooper Institate was filled even to suf cation. The idea of a crowded building i# generally an \odistinet one to convey to those who do not actually witness the ap- pearance of the multitude; but the largest crowd that ever assembied in one place in this city is as nothing to the overwhelming masses that crowded the ground foor, corridors, portals, and even windows, of this well known gad capacious institution last pight. Ata quarter past feven the house wae full; at balf past !t was crowded to repletion; ata quarter to eight the side windows were thro @n open to the public. and at eight o'clock—the hour fired for the beginning of the proceedings—the people were pocked togotler as closely az the graing ln a keg of gurpowder. Tho splendid band of the New York Seventh regiment (Rational Guard) was in attendance, aud discoursed very beautiful music during the evening. At eight o'clock preciesty the clarions of the band struck up the national by mn, “Hail Columbia,” which was recetved with a burst of genuine enthusiasm. ‘Tho gas lighta were now turned on in the fulness of thetr brightness and dazzling brilllancy. The coup d'ail | was then extremely beautiful and interesting. Saeb an assomb!y of intelligence anJ patriotism as was presented to the eyo was aright rarely to be seen, even ia New York. The appearance of the building war in unison with the patriotic mantfertations of the immense multi tude, The decorations, though simple, were numerous aad cffective: and wherever the eye could tarn it war sure to be gladdened by the sight of the name of some tmmortal patriot, gleaming as with the light of celestial fires. The noble dead seemed thus to be hoi fing imme diate commonion with their descendants and warning them of the course they should pursae. Aa when alive they labored earnestly for right and justios, so now their words still breathe and barn, and Even in their ashes live their wonted fires.
