The Van Buren, claimants to seats in Congress
from New Jersey, must be highly gratihed by the
result of their efforts. They have been potent be-
yond even their own expeclatons-for they have
not only succeeded in keeping out the returned mem
bers, but in DISTINGUISHING the State and degrading
il from lis sovereignty and independence. They
have found themselves efficient, however, only for
evil. They are poweresS even in their own behalf
for they not advanced one step in their claims by
the decision of the House That decision is one OF
pure, unmtigaied unalloyed outrage upon the Stale,
involving alike every cZenin it, of whatever party
or opinion. The House has avaed itself OF the op-
portunity 10 treat New Jersey with and deri-
sion but it has in the act poured obloquy and
contempt upon those who placed the State in posi-
ton TO be thus insuIred The Van Buren claimants,

themselves upon their achievement. They are less

and the venerable John Ely.
AT this time the whole procession facing West

placed in his carriage the whole procession counter
marched, Mr. MAYOR having been heartily greeted as
he passed along the line, After this the horseinen
were brought IN the front and the whole proceeded in
the following order
Bella Badger, Esq Chief Marshal, and Mcssrs.

Then the cayalcade of about seven hundred horse
men
Then the carriage with the Hon. CHARLES Nay
LoR, drawn by six white horses.
The several carriages with members of the Com.
mittee and distinguished members of Congress
Then a carriage with the Mayor of the city, John
Swift, Esq, and the High Sheriff Daniel Filter Esq
Then about fifty carriages containing citizens Of
the city and county, and city and county officers
On arriving at the Junction OF Broad and Chestnut
street the procession halted and Were reviewed by
vast number Of citizens, who had marshalled them
selves and took place ia the procession immediately
after the carriage of Mr. Naylor They had music
and several banners.
The order OF the procession then observed as
pointed out in the programme published yesterday
A. the procession passed along, II was greeted hy
the hearty checrings of the multitude which lined
the way. The procession closed al the Head Guar
tiers the Wings OF the Third District in the North
ern Liberties
The exhibition of Yesterday proved what all the
Wings felt viz that there Is constantly increasing
enthusiasm in the The appearance of 50 many
citizens show also that while the OF faithful
and able public servant are appreciated and acknow-
lodged, the outrages OF dominant party not to be
overlooked nor forgiven They struck not so much
at the right Of Mr., Naylor hold his scat in Con
gress to the moral character and political existence
OF vast number of respectable citizens in the Third
District and while the plan for the work OF injury
was in operation, the hireng press Of the party was
busy in circulating truth hearsay reports that ii they
did not know false they had reason to believe
true.
We feel confident that the spirit exhibited Yesterday
