caught up BY the crowd and sent back
to the clubs with ten-fold heaFtiness.
The sir seemed filed with the names OF
Seymour and Blair. The side Of every
house, too, was adorned with them.
Every transparency bore them, every
tongue repeated them, they seemed to
flash in every torch and wave in every
handkerchief, and their ingenuity
exhausted in devising adornments for
them, until the people, in many instan-
ces, being able to think of no decoration
which could add any lustre to them,
contented themselves with the simple
aud grand NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and

Down Royal street the procession marched
to Elysian Fields street, thence to The Levee
aud then tack 70 Canal street via Charities
street. What We have already said Will fully
apply TO this portion OF the TouEs. The same
magnin sent Illumination decorated every
house, the same crowd lined every street, and
the same glorious enthusiasm animated every
heart. We cannot do justice TO ii; we here
acknowledge that FOR all the just IDEA we can
give OF what the appearance OF the route was,
we might as well ST once throw aside our pen;
it literally =" beggard description" Our readers
will then pardon US, If ieaviog the lower
portion of the city We try-oHly though, again

ID Camp street, flied with spectators, bril-
liant'y Illuminated, marched the Democracy
OF New Orleans; and the people were ready for
them. The same impulse which has actGated

l heir love ofthe cause. Many stores had their
windows brilliantly Illuminated and their
fronts decorated with trsnEpareRcies. From
the office ofthe Mo- gan line OF steamers, just
above Gravler street, q rope had been extended
to the EsuAe opposite, and ftom 1t hung daes
and enuantS Innumerabe Many OF the pri-
yate residences we're hansomely Illuminated,
and In their decorations a vast deal OF taste was
! displayed, and the ladies were as Numerous ard
enthusiastic as their Creole sisters. The gale

puzzled spectators in their contemplation, was
bewtdered In the attempt 10 decide upon the
mOet beautiful one. The streets were as full
aud the enthusiasm as great as in the lower
I part OF Inc city. Prytania street was 8 repeFt-
lion, and Washington and Magazine streets
the private dwellings were Illuminated, and in
many Instances the designs were very bsautI-
ful. To particularize is simply impossible.
