THE TOUR.

The TOUR.
We have never had any very great Denchant for
Presidential tours throughout the country We were
not very much delighted with the descriptions we
have read of President Washngton's tour-and the
excursion of Mr. Monroe during his first term of SER
vice, was sufficient to satiate and sicken u.s. We
never witnessed any good which it produced i'm the
measures of his administration. And we expressed
at the time the disgust, which many of the attentions
he received, were well calculated inspire i'm
the mind Off republican. They were like the
homage OF subjects to their ruler than of free peo-
pie towards their first magistrate. They partook
more of the pomp of monarchy-than of the simpli-
city of the Republic
For our own parts, we would much rather that
Andrew Jackson had remained at Washington. or
visited the Hermitage, than have gone upon such an
excursion as the present. He cannot indulge the
simplicity OF his own character; nor absolutely re-
e1late the manners of others by his own TASTE
lie cannot repress the excessive attentions which
VIII be paid to him-or the sycophantic pane
syrIcs' and tie overloaded puffs, of 1T the
newspapers. We have already seen the most ridicu-
lous anecdotes told-things which would be scarcely
tolerabe IN the acting-about ladies', and girls and
private parties, and select coteres-but the rcpeti-
ton and the Haunting of them i'm the newspapers
arc In the viest taste We beg our brethren of the
North to avoid all such examples: "They are more
honored in the breach, than in the observance
Y ct amid all these superf1uous, and many of them
SILLY, descriptions, we cannot fail to perceive that
the President has been received with cordalty of
kindness, anda sincerity of respect, which bespeak
the great popularity of the man and his admnstra-
ton.
We do not apprehend any material change in the
sentiments or the conduct of the President from this
tour, He is in the last term of his administration
he has no object OF ambition to accomplish by his
visit among his comtrymen. We have very liz
tie doubt, that he will go back to Washington the
same man, us when he left it, Nor can we read
without smile the following suggestions from Mas
ter Brooks, the travelling Editor of the Portland
advertscr"-who having travelled through the
Southern and Western States, thus writes from
Washington, on the 25th u
