GEN. HARRISON.

The progress Of Gen. Harrison in his
journey, since he left this city, has been a
succession Of civil triuInphS.
From Philadelphia he visited Whining.
ton, in Delaware, where he was received
with every mark Of attention and respect.
Returning thence, he passed across the
State of New Jersey, where (says the Ma.
tional GaZette) his visit was distinguished
by every demonstration of affection and re.
spect which the limited time allotted TO il
would admit. His reception at Trenton
and Princeton was hearty and enthusiastic,
distinguished by prompt and decided assur.
anccs of good. Twill aud support.
| AT New York he arrived on Thursday
afternoon. OF his reception IN that great
mart Of our country We copy the following

papers abound
