cession and preceded by the American Brass
Band, marched through the streets, exciting uni.
versal attention. not only for their numbers, but
for their enthusiasm and fine appearance. 1t was
universally remarked alike by friends and foes, that
it was seldom that many OF the best men of their
section were to be found in a political procession.
The train from Belvidere also brought down large
number OF the substantial yeomanry OF the River
counties, among whom were some OF the strongest
men of Hunterdon and Warren. Old HOpewell

wagons aud carriages splenddly decorated with
flags and streamers, conveying the Wings and

siastc Americans, arrived from that section, be-
sides those which came in the regular trains, and

Burlington, Monmouth and other counties were

pie continued to arrive by every train, and wagons
and carriages from the surrounding country, pour
