THE GREAT CONVENTION.

The Salem Register says: Of the thousand details worthy of notice, which went to make up the splendid pageant, we are unable from want of room—having occupied our columns with some of the speeches—to give any account. We must refer all who desire these to the Boston papers, and especially to the Atlas, which has given by far the most complete history published, of the entire matter.

The liberal hospitality of the Bostonians deserves the most honorable mention. Not only private but public provision, the most ample, was made for the entertainment of the ingathered multitude of strangers, and great pains were taken by hundreds of the noble hearted citizens, old and young, to see that no one was overlooked or unprovided for. All along the route of the procession, too, unusual attention was paid to the refreshment of the guests—a thoughtful foresight, which we would most gratefully and cordially acknowledge in behalf of the thousands who experienced the benefit of these kindnesses.

We are sorry that we can not describe, or even mention, the decorations, banners, emblems, &c.; but so it is, and we must submit. The length of the procession is estimated by the Courier to have been five miles—by some others three and a half—and it is stated that when the head of the cavalcade reached the common on its return, the last section had not fallen into the line.
