and thus escorted, our honot'd guest proceeded
down Pratt street Ia the Point ani thence re-
turning by the WY al b llimorc street, reached
his lodgings at the l.nt,w House about live O'Clock.
During the early part OF the route through the city,
the escort of cilizens on foot received constant
accessiuns OF numbers: and such was lis final ag-
gregae that when the head Of the column wheeled
into Euaw street, the rear had not Vet passed
Calvert strcet--a distance of more than halt mile.

at Eutaw street, numbered upwards al one thou
sand horScmcn. O. the citizens on foot, who con-
siiuted Il paIt OF the ESCORT we have heard no cS-
innate but taking altogether there certainly
has been no such assemhlage onauy similar occasion
since the visit OF Lafayette. The procession was
under the orders OF J. X. Staples, Esq. Cidef Mar
shall, assisted by numerous deputies, whose cNoT-
tons in maintaining ordct--athough an immense
crowd nankcd the procession al numerous points OF
its roue--wcre crowned with complete success,
and worthy of all praise.

quence, bv the Hon. Charles W. Hanson, in be-
half oil the citizens of Baltimore. The reply OF
Gen. Harrison, both IN matter and manner, was all
that his best friends could wish, and WAS received
with the most cheering aud heartfelt paudils by
the vast aSScmbIaee which occupied the spaciou,
streets in front of the building. Ia the hope oi be-
ing able to lav these addresses before our readers,
in "A future number OF the Patriot, do not at
tempt give even their substance AT this time
merely stating that the patriotic sentiments
the honored guest, as well his manly tone
and gesture while responding 10 the address o
Judge Hanson, had their full eject upon the as
sembled citizens who rent the air, once aud a
gain, with shouts Of appreciation, dupias It's dclivc
rance.
Deputations from various parts af lie Surround
ing country have arrived at Uim re, for The pur-
pose OF inviting General Harrison 10 visit Other
parts OF Maryland and also PENNSYLVANIA. To-
day mt II O'Clock, vast iuubar Of citizens called
80 pay their respects To hiU and the cal, was con-
sinued up to tic time oil our paper goina 10 press.
Yesterday and to-day will be memorable in the
annals OF Baltimore. And We do but repeat the
universal sentiment which We hear On all SIDES,
in saving that nothing has rquacd il, in Blliuorc,
since the visit Of the llastfiouS Lafayette.
