the wrongs of Ireland is sincerikantf deep; we di
not expect that he will sam•U* or' afjpore the
Fenian method of attempting to iedresi them: He
will say something of the claims against England
for the depredations of the Alabama, and will
trChairtli3r gittbuded when he tells the public
that England is far more disposed than she was last
year to settle those claims and the questions
which arise out of theM on the basis of jus-
itice. Of the downfall of the Imperial Govern-
ment in Mexico he will speak with a Republican's
pride, and be heard with Republican enthusiasm.
With information later and fuller than can be pos-
sessed in Europe, he will be able to speak with
certainty as to the position of that unfortunate
State, and the prospects of Republican revival there.
Nor will it be on merely foreign and external
matters that the Panama= and his great audi-
ence will be in a congratulatory mood. That
vast flow of the old world populations in
the track of the setting sun which is fright-
ening our old world governments is giving
to the Americana much cause for boasting.
Already the losses of the civil war are more than
Liade up, and the enormous increase of population
is developing the resources of the remotest West
and laying the foundations of new States in the
territories of the Union. Colo-ado and Nebraska
I'M mos. likely be in a position to apply for admis-
sion this session, and the PRZSIDENT can speak
of the rapid growth o: the Republic to fill the land
which Divine Providence has given it. The
finances of the Union will also be spoken of with
a natural gratulation. The Paasioarrr will have
to tell the representatives of the nation that not
I only has the crash predicted by hostile foreign
critics not taken place, but that trade is
increasing, that a wonderful prosperity
characterises the commercial cities, and that
the national credit has been more than
sustained. He will be able to say that, notwith-
standing the large reductions in direct taxation
made last year, the- amount which will be gathered
f.om that source this year will not only exceed the'
estimates, but will exceed last year's total ; that
the amount collected from duties in 1866 will be
a hundred millions of dollars in excess of the
amount collected in 1865 ; that the national debt
has been reduced by nearly one hundred and
ninety millions of dollars during the year end;ng
the 31st October, and is now two hundred and
six millions below the maximum it attained
during the civil war ; and that a steady
but sure advance is being made in the
(contraction of an inflated currency and towards
the eventual and not remote resumption of
specie payments. With all these causes of congra-
tulation, it will be strange if there is not a broad
ground of sympathy between the PRESIDENT and
his listeners to-day. And if, as we hope he
may, he puts himself aside, and yields frankly
to the great expression of the popular will,
he will be ab'e to tell the representatives of the
North, and the unrepresented people of the South,
that only political difficulties of their own making
cloud the prospects of the future, and that the
restoration of the old prosperity of the Republic
will speedily follow the restoration of fraternal
relations between the various sections of its

TREAT REFORM DEMONSTRATION
IN THE METROPOLIS•

(THIS DAY.)

ST. JAMES'S-PARK AND PALIALLLL.
The inauspicious weather which prevailed during
the morning threatened the success of the long
talked of reform demonstration, but the rain which
had been falling from an early hour ceased shortly
after 10 o'clock, and the arrangements
.contem-
plated by the promoters of the demonstration were
fully carried into effect. It was expected that the
numbers looked for would be considerably dimi-
nished ; but if this is so the falling off will
be not owing to the absence of bond fide working
men but to that of sight-seers. St. James's-park,
Trafalgar-square, and Pall-mall, presented a busy
appearance. There appeared to be no inter-
ference with or obstruction to traffic, and although
the police were present to preserve order,
there seemed to be no need of their services. Idlers
and boys abounded in the crowds, but there was
an entire absence of that roughnessof conduct which
usually characterises our London mobs. About
half-past 10 the trades and societies commenced
getting into position in the park beneath their
bannerets. The societies were formed into four divi-
sions. The first division was formed in the right and
left avenues facing Buckingham Palace, continuing
round Spring-gardens-avenue, towards the Horse
Guards. The second division, commencing oppo-
site the Horse Guards, extended through the gates
leading_ into Birdcage-walk, and continued along
the Horse-ride and Birdcage-walk towards
Buckingham Palace. The 3rd division commenced
at Buckingham Palace-gate, continuing up each
side of Constitution-hill ; while the 4th division,
consisting of the branches of the Reform League,
were formed at Trafalgar-square, and proceeded
down Parliament-street and Great George-street,
halting at Storey's-gate.
The members of the Farriers' Society, who were
mounted, arrived at Marlborough court-yard at
half-past 10, and excited much attention. About
half-past 11, nearly the entire number of societies
connected with the demonstration were in march-
ing order, the members having plax-d themselves
six abreast, at the rear of their respective
bannerets. At this time a great crowd had col-
lected at Marlborough House-gate, through which
the procession was to pass, and at the bottom of
St. James'a-street were drawn up a number of
carriages in which the deputations, /ix., were to
be driven.
The deputations composed delegates from Liver-
pool, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Brighton, and
other large towns. In three other carriages were
gentlemen who formed a so: of advanced guard
of the procession. One of them contained Mr.
George Brookes (treasurer), Dr. Massie, Mr.
Reuter, and Mr. Troup. In another was Mr.
Beale', who on being recognised as he proceeded
to the carriage on foot, was loudly cheered,
Colonel Dickson, Captain Dresser Rogers, and
Mr. Bubb ; while a third carriage bore inside the
members of the committee of the Working Men's
Association, and outside, in front, Mr. Hartwell, who
acted as secretary. Mr. Potter was conspicuous in
marshalling the peaceable forces of the day.
As noon approached, the crowd, of course, be-
came denser, and locomotion was any-
thing but convenient to the foot pas-
sengers, but the much-dreaded " roughs "
were nowhere. The general good humour and
orderliness of the crowd were very remarkable, and
the one or two policemen here and there had really
nothing to do ; they were simply spectators.
STARTING OF THE PROCESSION.
The procession started precisely at 12 o'clock,
though the bugle note was certainly not
audible in Pall-mall. The farriers who led
the way, the popular cavalry, were a very fine
body of men, and managed their steeds most
dexterously. They were very much cheered,
and the service they rendered in clearing the way
as the vanguard contributed greatly to the success
of the march. As the procession set out on its
live miles route, with bands playing, flags
waving, and all eyes scanning its chief features,
the spectacle was very interesting, and the crowd,
who from their conversation appeared to be
all reformers, loudly expressed their pride and
- T 1 ' numerous.
