 In the evening, the younger class of people made considerable display with the burning of fire-bals tar barrels, and other combustibe materials on the Public Green, and seemed to enjoy themselves ex- dngly-making the welkin ring with their joyous shouts as the welmed joke or cracking flame burst forth. On the whole, there was much to cheer and animate the heart of the patriotic whig during the day. and nothing with which the most fastidious could find fau unlesst were the occasional passing by of some wo-begone Van Buren ofice.holder, whose counte- nance could not but excite the commisseraton of the assembled multitude.
