RECEPTION OF GENERAL HAIR
RYSON IN BALTIMORE.

Never was n conquering General, return
ing from the field of triumph and glory, re-
celved with greater enthusiasm than was
manifested yesterday, on the arrival of Cen
erai William Henry Harrison within the linn
its Of our city. The early part of the day
was nnfaverable, and many persons were
prevented from joining in the procession by
apprehension Of rain. AS it was, however,
the cortege was one Of the most splendid ever
witnessed in Baltimore. The General, at
tended by DR.. Alexander, Gen. Medtart and
Mr.. Booth slept at Vansville on Wednesday
night, and at 2 o'clock yesterday, he reached
Carrol's Bride, about mile from the city, on
the Washington road, where he was met by
cuvalcade Of nearly five hundred horsemen.
He rode with the above named gentlemen, in
barouchc drawn by four grey horses. The
cavalcade was joined some distance within
the city, by vast number Of citizens on foot,
and proceeded, the cquipage Of the General
in the centre, down Pratt street to the Point,
from whence it returned, by way of Market
street, to the lodgings prepared for him at
the Eutaw House. The procession was un-
der the charge of Jos. X. Stapletcn, Esq, as
Chief Marshal, assisted by number Of deputy
Marshals, whose cxertions and services upon
the occasion, we hope ~ note and commend
hereafter.
Upon arriving in front Of the Eutaw House,
the General left the barouche, accompanied
by the Committee of Arrangements, and was
conducted to a platform over the portico,
where he was addressed by the Hon. Charles
w. Hanson, on behalf of the citizens of Bal
smore. AS his address will probably be pub
lished, we find it only necessary now to say,
that it was one of the most eloquent and ap-
propriate performances to which it has ever
been our lot to listen. 1t was repetc with
many illusions 10 the prominent incidents in
the life and traits in the character, Of the dis
tinguished individual addressed clothed in
language of Addisonian elegance, and delv-
cred with the energy and grace which are
characteristic of the accomplished orator
Gen. Harrison's reply delighted his friends
and disappointed his opponents. 1t was
scndy. aucnt and eloquent. Ills manner was
full Of animation, and he hestated not, for
moment, for the most appropriate and polished
phrase to convey his digniGcd aud exalted
sentiments. His address was interrupted by
repeated plaudits from the immense assem-
blage, and when he sat down, the welkin
rang with long, loud and reiterated shouts of
admiration and welcome. Upon the whole
the reception went off with the utmost eclat,
leaving upon the minds ofall who participated
in it, the most pleasing sensations. Since
the time when the elite Of the city turned out
to welcome Lafayette to our borders, no such
assembluge lms been Witnessed amongst us
and we do not doubt in the least, that, com
bined with the impulse given to public SEN
timcnt, by the recent acts ofdaring usurpa,ion
attempted by the Van Buren Electors of Sen.
ate, it will lead to salutary and vigllunt at
tention to public affairs, on the part of all
classes Of the community, that must lead the
Wing forces to triumphant victory.
