The Trisnphal Rssry Of Mis Democratic
Majesty, Martin Van Barren fnse New = er6.
Lovely Weman turned Lscefece fer half .
day aad tho whelc Of . Night.
Yesterday was a great day! a very great day in.
deed! great day for democracy, and drinkoc rasy,
and aristocracy, and mobocracy, and funocracy and
all the branches Of that facetious family. There
much in the proceedings that was amusing much
that was instructive-much that was pleasing
that was imposing-much that was nonsensisal-and
much that was really ridiculous. Still it was, in ev-
cry sense of the word triumphal entry and il would
be worse than foolish to deny the fact. 1t was an
extraordinary scene, the most so since the visit Of
General Jackson to this city and the description we
gave oil it yesterday, in advance correspondsd pre-
eisely with the realities, as they occurred during
the day.
1t was high day for the President, who was al
most killed with kindness, and dust, and rough
grasps, and sweat, and bad smells! 1t was high
day for the wings, who laughed in their sleeve, and
looked wise and silly, and sensible and savage, by
turns; and lost opportunity to curse and rail at
the Undertook cabbage seller! 1t was high day
for the locoocos, who were washed, and shaved Tor
once and comfortably clad with clean shirts and Sc
cond-hand boots and breeches, and who drank and
shouted, and sweated, and sworc, and roared, and
ran, and yelled, ano kicked up their heels. and
threw up their greasy caps like so many mad devils
let loose from Pandemonium! 1t was high day for
the lovely young girls and beautiful women OF this
glorious city, who ALL yesterday for four hours,
locofocos, to man; and who smiled, and bent their
beautiful necks, and looked bewtching from the
windows and waved white handkerchicfs and did
all manner of delightful things before bedtime, and
great many afterwards. It~was high day for the
loa H. h.. N all
tions to gets peep at his Republican Hghness, that
they might abuse him the next day for his bad looks,
and want of condescension to them! 1t high
day for the thieves and pickpockets; for, by SEINE
most unaccountable means, almost every locofoso
had money in his greasy breeches pocket on this
occasion, besides having clean shirt his back
1t was high day for the liquor sellers and distil-
lers, majority Of whom were wings, and who drank
his Democratic Majestys health so often with their
customers, that they injured their own! 1t was
high day for the angels who rejoice sinner
that repenteth and who watch the souls and bodies
of beautiful, angelic woman, and BLACKBOARD man!
And above all it was high day (thsugh not
holiday for the devil, "Aud Clo6ts" himself, who
superintended the whole programme of operations
IN propria PERSONA and who distributed judicious
number Of young devils throughout the procession,
to increase the noise and confusion, keep mischief
afoat, give spice to the party, and play the devil
with the vacillaing seus and clean shirts of every
sinner in the squad In short the whole affair was
conceived, concocted, and carried out upon the real
republican principle that
a.-Variety's the spice Of life,
That gives IL all its htvor.'
Early in the morning about 50 or 80 Of the Young
Mems Committee some of them possessing good
sense, and some Of them great asses-hired, begged
and borrowed horses enough, including those they
owned, to mount every of them; and they wash
ed and shaved in hurry, bolted their breakfasts,
and crossed the river to Newark, for the partly
patriotic, partly proud, partly selfish, and, TO
extent, commendable motive, of escort
ing His Republican Highness to Jersey City. This
was done by the young men; and those who acted
from excellent motives, Of course were rewarded by
their own reflections in bed night. and didn't
. curse about their torn pantaloons, dirty shirts,
dirty jackets, and dreadful headaches which they
obtained reward for their cxertions. In the in
terim all the oafers and worthy radesmen and idle
fellows, and good citizens, and ridiculous cox
combs, and "nice young men'' that make up the
various corps and companies of citizen soldiers in
this city, were busy buttoning up their breeches,
fastening their straps, buckling their armor,
(hogs in armor,) and fixing their fnts and traps to
pass muster in the course of the morning. At 40
early hour any OF them, the rowdes and rag
gamuiins, without either interest principle in the
were desperately hard at work-drink-
ing His Excsllency's health in damnable drains,
in all the ten thousand holes Of the city. All
the amiable and beautiful wives, and sisters and
daughters, OF those who had any hand in the do.
ings Of the day, were bundled out Of bed BY sun
rise, to boil the coffee and cut the bread and
butter for breakfast; and few, we are sorry 10
say, had TO black the boots of the backguards who
were too idle 10 do their own dirty work Some
forty or fifty very sweet and ench ntng girls were
taking our advice, and brushing the dew off the
grass Of the Battery with their fairy feet before the
pesti!ence passed il. In short, this same visit
Of his Serene Republican Majesty, Martin Van Blu
rem, made at least 10000 i'll looking and hand
some women rise two hours before their time, and
stir their stSmps twice fast they had done
before.
The President, always an early riser, rose rather
earlier himself this eventual OCCASION and washed
himself pretty much as he usually does, and dressed
himself as he invariably does, with considerable
care and neatness His forehead was observed to
shine than ordinarily, to have two extra vrin-
kes and the organs 81 irmness and self esteem did
undoubtedly project more than on the preceding
night In his anxiety TO be in the breakfast be-
times he forgot to say his prayers and return thanks
TO Almighty God for n rsod nights rest After
