The procession, composed of wagons, footmen, bearing ban- mers, &o., was about an hour passing a given point, Mr. Douglas received the demonstration of the masses from an open carriage drawn by four white horses. The most imposing feature of the procession was the young !adica’ ar, in which stood young lady attired as the Goddess of Liberty. This attraction elicited praises and applause from everybody. A desire to see Mr. Douglas was mani- feated by men of all parties. His speech was of the same tenor that bas characterized all his speeches during the present campaign. He spoke about an hour and s quarter, Hoe refused to answer the questions propounded to bim by the Indiana Journal, seying they should the same to their own candidate for an answer before offering such to him. He alluded to Mr. Breckinridge in severe terms, charging bim ani all those who susta\ned him, as abandoning the principles of democracy and forraking the same plank in the Ciocin- nati platform upon which he and Breckinridge stood sboulder to shoulder in 1856. ‘The crowd js variously estimated at from thirty-five to a hundred thousand, including a large delegation from Kentucky.

The Wide Awakes and Rail Splitters, Minute Mem, Union Leagues, Little Giants, Little Dougs and Hell Ringers, d&ec., dee One of the peculiar characteristics. of the American politics is the univertal tendency of the followers of each party, as the party strife becomes exciting, to unite in some organization or club for the purpose of making a formidable sbow of their numbers. The same mode of organization, however, loses its attractions at the end of ove campaign, forcing the managers to invent some new draw the attention of that class who seek such channels to give expression to their party spirit. It is thus that each Presidential campaign furnishes a new and uniqoe feature which applies exclusively to the incidents and characteristics of the state of affairs at that time in exis- tence, which individualizes each Presidential straggle and makes its history new and attractive. One year this material is all absorbed in raising hickory and ash poles; the next sational political struggle they | are building log cabins—the men, women and children killigg themselves drinking bard cider, &c. Oa no former occasion bas there been so large a variety of organiza- tions or so many different names as f@ characteristic of the present campaign. Most of the names, however, carry with them some party significance, that enables the public to piace them in regard to the several political armies, of which they form the different regiments. Every Presible deviec haa been adopted this year to attract the young men just entering upon thetr political career; the ‘most noted is the torch and military drill, started by the Wide awakes, since imitated by nearly all other or- ganizations. The expenses of nearly all are paid by some person who ia looking after an office, and looks upon these clubs as the machinery to put himself in the line of safe precedence. The most noted political organization of this canvass ie THE WIDE AWAKES. This organization is, perhaps, the most numerous of apy, although confined exclusively to the Northern States. They are found in almostevery ward, village, Dorough and four corners in every State north of Mason and Dixon's It and can beseen almost every sight going through with their military drill, with this rail, surmounted witha lamp, upon their shoulders, each wearing a green ollcloth cape and a glazed fatigue exp. the officers distinguished from the rank and file by carry. ing « lantern. The caps are of various colors, but always glazed. It is uslees for us to may that they are all for the election of Lineoln and Hamlin. In some portions of the Went they are called LINCOLNTTES , and may, in some minor detail of their equipment, difer e little from the Wide Awakes, but are cerentially the same in their general organization and 0) jects. THE RAT, SPLITFERS is also a branch of the Wide Awakes, being an auxiliary to the general army. From their name we would sup- pose tbat they are to be the ploncers of the republican army, or the parties that are to prepare the materia! for fencing in the South in the event of Lincoln's election. THE RAIL MAULERS is another rame applied to the tame class of organization, the name suggestive, we suppose, of the position and labor to be, performed in the great straggte of sabduing the South ‘The dave, Lerides these, Lincoln snd Hamlin clubs, existing In thoee localities where the military drill and torches are not necessary to make a man repab.ican. BELL RINGERS. The Union party seem to bave the largest variety of | names to their organizations, and, strange to say, they have imitated the style of organization in ite most im- portant featare of the Wide Awakes, wearing a diferent colored cape and another shaped bat and torch The “ Bell Ringers,” we believe, originated in Paltimore, bat exist both North and South, prinetpally by that name in the Southern States, and always take with them in pro- cession, besides their torches, a large variety of belie, which they continue to ring a# they march through the streets. They are devoted to the election of Messrs. Bel! and Everett. THE BELL-RVERETTERS ‘# also a branch of the same army straggling for the tri* umph of the Union ticket, and are to be found in large cities North and South. THE CLAPPERITES is another name applied to the Sonthern regiment of the Bell and Everett army. They are organized in the same way na the other clubs, but are confined to Lousiana and the adjacent States. They originated, if we are not mis- taken, in New Orleans. Probably the largest organiza- tion of the Beli men im that looality te THE UNION LEAGUE, They are represented as be< 7, exceedingly numerous to Brooklyn, wh jneir numbers are said to be rapl’ increasipy, They wear a Hight colored oiloloth cap” , 4 62.4 cap with a gold band, and carry a toreb, "44 igmp of which ja bell shaped, and bave bell Carr! fy in each company. ‘They turned out in large DUM’ i144 tho great Unicn demonstration at the Cooper ' stitute, and pre sented a fine appearance.

The meeting was the more intercsting from the fac: that the larger number of the horses entered were bred in this neighborhood, and when we consider that it ia only latterly that there has been a revival iu blood sick breeding, the show was very good.
