perhaps, fallen 10 the lot of an individual be-
fore his time. The splendid triumphs of the
Caesars, their progresses through their vast do
minions, were indeed attended with more
magnifcence, more imposing grandeur, more
boisterous adulation, but they wanted that,
without which renown is gilded bauble, fame
a puff of air. The car of the emperor was
surrounded with millions of worshippers; but
they worshipped because they feared: they
bent the knee in alteration, and muttered the
accustomed salutation, but the heart respond
ed not the sentence of the lips. Here, on the
contrary, the early friend of our nation has
been received with gush Of feeling which has
pervaded every heart, and burst from every
tongue. The East stretched forth lis arms TO
embrace him, the South hailed his approach
with rejoicings, the forests Of the West re-
sounded his praises, and the lakes of the North
The last farewell arises from continent at

Governor Lincoln returned to town on the
evening of the 18th inst. having recently been
on tour to Nantucket. This is worthy of re-
mark, as being the first visit ever made by
Governor Of the Commonwealth to that Island,
although il holds rank as county of the State,
containing an enterprizing population of 5000
souls, and possesses more wealth, and does
greater amount of business, according to its
| population, than any other county in the State,
with the single exception of Suffolk. We
learn that the Governor was highly gTatifed
with attentions paid him by the inhabitants of
the Island, in which were happily combined
the respect due to the Chief Magistrate pf the
Commonwealth, and the cordial welcome
which was felt toward'a worthy and esteemed
fellow citizen. Their unaffected kindness, and
unostentatious liberality, have been the sun
Iject of his particular remark. That the graf,
ifcation has been mutual, we learn by the
Nantucket Inquirer, which says, that &C on the
part of the people of Nantucket, though una.
BILE to greet their dignifed guest with any thing
like military parade, or civic ostentation, we
can affirm, that no incident of similar nature
for great length of time, has afforded higher
satisfaction, nor furnished more abundant
source of future grateful recollections."
