 zRe President's T0Mr--Since our last publication, we have traced the Presidents route from Hartford to Boston, where he was the last accounts. From HartGord ha went down the river to MiddetOwn, where he landed, and was escorted through the city iO public house, and received the congratulations of . numerous collection of people. In an hour he rec embarked, and proceeded down the river as far as Lyme, where he met by deputations from Norwich aad New London. Here the Hartford committee 4gned him to ihe charge of the eastern committees, aud returned to Hartford in the steam boat The Pre- sideat was ihen conducted to Norwich and New-LOn- tIon at each pf which places he spent soe time. and interchanged civiities with the citizens. On leaving anese places and reaching the line of this State, he was met by deputation from Rhode Island, who took him in charge, and escorted him ta Newport, Provi- ence Gsc where he received every demonstration of Hospitality and respect.
 We have not room fer tre published particulars of ahe recepoa of the Prssident in she various towns through which he passed. Bot to give our readers specimen of the matter and manner," we copy from the Hartford Times the account of his reception ar Hartford, HisTecepOn as some other places, to be 4surs was not accompanied with such military parade as at Hartford; the accounts in all eases in such inflated, bom5as,ic, aduatory style, flor he has not in ail places such servile worshppers but this VI il ssrvsas pretty fair specimen of the whole. We would not be understood wishing in the feast to find fault that the Chief Magistrate should be received with enthusiasm. We are glad that he has been 60 received-and should have been glad 10 have been of ahe number to tender him the Inequalities of our own town, # te could have made our county visit. The office of Preside of United States should be treat ed with respect, whoever may be the incumbest. But we do not Ike ao zee respect degenerate into mere anan-worstip. -
