BENEFITS ACCOUNT OF
PRESIDENT VAN BUREN,s
VISIT TO NEW YORK.
From the NJ Y. Herald Of July 8.
THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
OF HIS DEMOCRATIC MAJESTY,
Martin an Ii ur en-.
INTO NEW YORK.

Yesterday was great day!a great day
indeed! great day for democracy, and
drinkocracy, and aristocracy, and mobocra-
cy, and funocracy, and all the branches Of
that facetious family. There was much in
the proceedings that was amusing-much
that was instructive-much that was pleas
ing-much that was nonsensical- much
that was really ridiculous. Still it was, in
every sense OF the term, triumphal entry,
and It would be worse than foolish to at.
tempt to deny the fact. 1t was an extraor-
binary scene, the most SO since the visit of
General jackson to this city; and the de-
scription we gave Of it yesterday, in adj
vance, corresponded precisely with the re-
alities, as they occurred during the day.
1t was high day for the President, who
was almost killed with kindness; and dust,
and rough grasps, and sweat, and bad smells
1t was high day for the Wings, who laugh
ed in their sleeve, and looked wise, and sill
ly. and sensible, and savage, by turns; and
lost no opportunity to curse and rail at the
Undertook cabbage seller! 1t was high
day for the loco-focos, who were washed,
and shaved, for once, and comfortably clad
with clean shirts and second hand boots and
breeches, and who drank, and shouted, and
sweated and swore, and reared, and ran,
and yelled, and kicked up their heels, and
threw up their greasy caps like SO many
mad devils let loose from Pandemonium.-:
It was high day for the lovely young girls
and beautiful women Of this glorious city,
[who were all, yesterday, for four hours, 10.
co-focos, to a man; and who smiled, and bent
their beautiful necks, and looked bewitch-
ing from their windows, and waved their
white handkerchiefs, and did all manner ol
delightful things. TWAS high day for the
loafers of the press, who were running in al
directions to get peep at his Republican
Highness, that they might abuse him the
next day for his bad looks, and want of con
descension to them! 1t was high day f.
the thieves and pickpockets, for. by som,
most unaccountable means, almost every
loco foco had money in his greasy breeche
pocket on this occasion, besides having
clean shirt on his backl It was high da,

The FiRE.-The committee appointed to
investigate the circumstances of the late fire,
have been diligently engaged during the past
week, and we are happy TO add, their labors
have been crowded with measurable success
One person, a Frenchman, named Joseph Roe
has been arrested on suspicion. and after an
investigation Of upwards or,hree DAYS, bound
over 10 take his trial at the August TERM
The evidence against him, as is usual in such
cases, was altogether circumslantial, but of
that clear and irresistible kind that leaves Blu [
the bare room to doubt; and the same evi.
dence which brings the crime home to this in i.
dividual also proves that more than one per-
son was concerned in it. We have therefore
strong hopes Of eventually fere,ing out the
whole transaction, and being enable to show
up the prime mover in all his naked depravi.
ty. In the course of the investigation the
TACT is fully established, that among certain
class of persons this subject has been one of
frequent discussion, generally talked up and
understood, and repeatedly threatened. In
one instance, some two months since, the pre.
else period, and even the day of the week, on
which the act would be perperated, was pre-.
dicted with precision which, when compared
with the result. but too well establishes the
reputation of the individual as u prophet.--
We mention these facts ior the PURPOSE of
convincing our townsmen of the necessi,y of
united, bold and vigorous efforts in ferre,ing
out and bringing these miscreants to justice.
We feel especially bound to urge this poin,
from the circumstances that the committee
thus far, have moi been met and seconded in
their efforts as promptly and efficiently as thew
should have been. They have been me, with
GOODNESS and indifference where they had a

HANG OUT YOUR BANNER.

We publish TO day the proceedings Of
the State Convention at Woodstock. on
the 9th ult. The asscmblage was very
]arge-estlmateG at one thousand and be.
yond doubt the largest congregation Of the
kind ever known in the state. This looks
we'll. and we are rejolced TO learn that The
spirit and good feeling manifested were in
full proportion to the magnitude of the
meeting. The accounts which the dele
gates brought from every part of the stale
were of The most gratifying character, and
such as we had right 10 expect from the
Wings Of Vermont. 1t now only remains
for us to carry out what has been thus
auspiciously begun. We would urge upon
our friends The importance prompt, thor
ough and efficient organ'za'ion. The only
fear is, thai the Wings, relying upon their
wcll.known strength, aud their large ma
jorily, will allow over confidence to ,uke
the place Of exertion. Suitable exer,ions,
early commenced and pcrseveringly per-
sisted in, will secure us an overwhelming
majority. We know of no reason why any
person who voted for Gov. Jennison last
year will not do the same this but here are
most cogent reasons why some who voted
for Mr.. Bradley will not for the candidate
who has supplan,ed him on the Loco Foco
ticket. Our present state officers have moi,
that we are aware, done any thing to shake
the confidence Of the people in their lnteg
'i'y, and having safely s,eadied The ship of
state through stormy period. it is now he
duty ofthe Wing party. and Of every man
who loves good order, to come forward and
