TIE ROYAL EXCURSION.

Our columns this morning contain some far
Their particulars of the honors paid TO our unos-
tentaiious President OH his recent Trip to Old
Point Comfort, and the country thereunto
adjacent II smells more rankly OF royal ct
iquette and formaity-ihere was more show
Of condescension on the part Of the Pres =
dent and yet apparently more supefcllIous
hauteur in his tone and manner-more cringng
sycophancy displayed, than has ever been Wit
messed in this country on any similar occasion.
Mr.. Mouroe's tour was in bad taste enough,
though we believe it was undertaken under the
Influence of the most laudable motives--and
that he did not, as we believe Gen, Jackson
does, veil the real object OF his excursion BY
authorising his partisans to ascribe it to some
other object which he thought might tickle tue
public ear. Mr. Monroe TOO, travelled alone
He did not surround himself with half dozen
ladies, and with as many of the other sex, who
would grace petticoats better than trowsers-
he had no splendid suite following at his heels
His object was TO examine the situation OF '"'
public works and to search out suitable sites
for the erection of Notifications, &c. and he
knew tina, the description of persons who &C.
companied Ger. Jackson to Old Point, were
not very suitable companions at such time
We should as soon have expected TO hear, 1t
there had been war, that he had taken them 10
the field Of battle.
Heretofore, when President left Washing
ton or returned, the simple fact was announced
as a piece Of public Information, by the news
papers of the towns and cities through winch
he passed. But, Gen Jackson must have rooms
prepared for him and dinners iendered-lhe
military must parade and IRE sa'ules-ana' ~

As hand in hand the angel u Sleep and the
angel of Death were traversIng the earth, even

amid the quiet scene. while the distant village
bell died away upon the air Tranquil and ST.
lent, according to their habits, they enjoyed
IN confidence the beauty of the scene. At
length the angel Of Sleep arose from his mossy
seat, and scattered from ms hand the seed OF
sumber; the evening breeze bore them 10 the
cottage Of the fatigued lahorer. Sweet Sleen
embraced the inhabitants oil the village, ON
The grey head that leaned upt n the staff, to the

Thus spoke the lovely angel of Sleep. The

anguish and tear, such as immortals shed
