Reception Of Gearai Hayrisoa.--
Never was q conquering general. re-
turning from the field Of tiumph and
glory, received with greater enthusi-
asm. than was manifested yesterday 90
the ARRIVAL Of Gen. WiLLIAM HENRY
HARRIsoN within the limits of our
city. The eaily psrso the dsy was
|unfavorsble. and many persons were
prevented from joining in the process
sion by apprehension of rain. As it
was. however. the corfege was one Of
the most splendid ever witnessed in
Baltimore. The General, attended by
DR.. Alexander, Gen. Medtarf, and Mr..
Booth, slept at Evansville on wednes-
day night. and at clock yesterday
he reached Carsll's Bridge. about .
mile from the city. on the Washing
ton road. where he was met by cavai
cade OF nearly Eve hundred horse men.
He rode with the above named gentle
men. IN barouche drawn by. four
gray horses. The cavalcade was ioin-
ed some distance within the city by n
vast number Of citizens on foot, and
Proceeded. the equipage of the Cener-
al IN the centre. down Pratt street 20
the Point, from whence il returned. by
way Of Market street 70 the LODGINGS
prepared for him at the Eaiaw House.
The procession was under the charge
of Joseph X. Sispleton. Esq. Us Chief
Marshal, assisted by number Of depu-
~ Marshais. whose exertions and SER
vices upon the occasion we hope to
note and commend hereafter,
Upon arriving in front Of the Eutaw
House the General left the barouche,
accompanied by the committee of ar
Engagements, and was conducted 10 a
platform over the portieo. where he
was addressed by the Hon. Charles w.
Hanson. on behalf Of the citizens of
Baltimore. As his address will proba.
bly, be published. we find it only me-
cessary now TO say, that IL was one Of
the most eloquent and appropriate per.
formances TO which il has ever been
our lot 10 listen. II was replete with
happy illusions to the prominent Incl
dents in the life and traits in the char
seter OF the distinguished individual
addressed. clothed in language Of Ad-
disonian elegance aud delivered with
the energy and grace which are char
acteristic of the accomplished orator.
Gen. Harrison's reply delighted his
friends and disappointed his opponents.
II was ready, fluent. and eloquent--
His manner was full of animation, and
he hesitaied not. for a momeat, for the
most appropriate and polished phrase
to convey his dignifed and exalted
sentiments. His address was inter-
ruPtcd by repeated plaudits from the
immense assemblAge; and when he
SAT down. the welkin rang with long.
loud. and reiterated shouts of admira-
ton and welcome. Upon the whole,
the reception went of with the utmost
eclat, leaving upon the minds of all
Tho participated in il, the most pleas
ing sensations. Since the time when
the elite OF the city turned oot to well
come Lafayette to our borders, no
such assemblage has been witnessed
amongst us; and we do not doubt in
the least. that, combined with the i'm
pulse given to public sentiment, by
the recent acts Of daring usurpation
attempted by the Van Buren, Electors
Of Senate. il wall lead TO a saIutary
and vigilant attention TO public affairs,
on the part Of all classes OF the COM
munity, that must lead the Wing forces
to triumphant victory.
