at Castle Garden, where his Republican
Majesty landed in majestic manner, and
walked as fast as his small feet and little
legs would carry him, into the saloon.
Here curious scene occurred; the rush
was so great that the floor sprang, and gave
considerable alarm to his Body Guard, and
His Highness turned pale, and stood motion

welcoming him to the city and assuring him
that the loco-focos understood the Sub-Trea-
sury System, and approved oft, and put it
in practice whenever they lad chance;
moreover, that the State was at His High

At all this, His Democratic Majesty express

friends that he had never been so happy
since the hour he was born; he was glad to
find the Sub Treasury System approved of
by the people of New York; the-democracy
OF the Queen city of the Empire State; he
had trusted the people, and would trust them
again; they had trusted him, and he was
sure they would trust him again. The Sub
Treasury System, he felt certain was the
only safe system upon which the money of
the people could be preserved for such plum
derers as Price and Swartwout, and that he
meant to press that point to its utmost ten
sion, and he had no doubt Of reaping rich
harvast therefrom. Immense cheers.) He
had been called an enemy to commerce
whereas he was the best friend commerce
ever had; by his message on the Maine
Question he had prevented war, and preserv-
ed commerce; and the thought that he had
been the humble instrument Of preventing
the shedding Of human blood, would be more
consolation te him in dying hour, which
must soon overtake him (cries of ssNo! NO
no! not till after the next election) than if he
had led legions to battle and victory like
Cesar, Alexander, Napoleon, or his illustri-
Gus predecessor. Immense cheering, in
| which the rest of his speech was drowned.)
His Majesty then descended into the court
yard of the Castle, and mounting his Impe-

dashed through the gateway, over the bridge,
between Mayor Varian and Orator Edmonds,

So soon as it was perceived by the inn
mense crowd that occupied every accessible
portion ON the Battery, that his Republican
Highness had mounted his horse, and tina,
the cavalcade were forming, they rent the
air with their shouts and manifested every
desire to get close enough to shake hsnds
with them. This degree of enthusiasm ne.
cessarily caused delay, BUTT enabled the
crowd to get into better positions, and af
forded time for videtts and sentries to clear

His Democratic Majesty, accompanied by
his cortege on pale horses and sundry out
riders, got in fr mt of the line, when the
troops presented arms, the bands played
Yankee Doodle, and all the little boys set of
squibs and shouted huzzas at the top of thei
lungs. Then his Highness rode all round
i the Battery, and at the north end passed in
review before about hundred horsemen
{ mounted on nags of all sorts, colors and
sizes, and themselves attired in all sorts oil
uniform, from the most fashionable dressed
equestrian dandy to the most loaferized
looking object that could be met with in a
days travel. His Highness then took ur
his station in the middle Of his brilliant staff
and the tale was brought up by an oper
barouche containing some seven or eigh
members of the Common Council. The
infantry then deployed into double columns
and His Democratic Majesty was placed
in the centre of the army, and to the tune O.
