President Hnnroe.

On the 9th inst. the President of the u. S.
reached Buffalo. In every place in the course
of his journey he has received those respect
full attentions due to the Chief Magistrate OF
the Union. From Buffalo he proceeded by
water TO Detroit, from whence it is expected
he will return direct TO the seat of Govern
ment. We would not only hope, but we en-
terrain strong belief that the Tour Of the
President will be Of great benefit to the coun-
try in many respects. Mr.. Munroe must have
acquired much additional information as to
the people, and what relates particularly TO
this section OF the country and the people
have become better acquainted with him and
this acquaintance will be productive, if we
are not deceived, of much good Whenever
the Chief Magistrate of the U. S. shall be-
come an practice, the President of the Union
and net Of party, no matter by whom he
was elected, he will have the support Of the
whole people. 1t is favourable time now
tor the Executive TO put in practice the max
i'm with respect to the administration of our
public affairs of honesty, ability and attachment
to the constitution which Mr.. Jefferson once
referred to. A great proportion OF the present
Congress which will convene in December
next for the first time, are new members.
Those measures which caused so much party
feeling and irritation, have passed away, and il
is to be hoped, will never, under any circum-
stances, be resorted to again. Let the princi-
pies and policy of Washington be adhered to
and both rulers and ruled will have but one
mind and one object, the advancement of in
dividual and national prosperity.
