We learn that the reception to be given to the
President next Tuesday will be quite military. BY
a very deXterous nanGuvre, Grand Chambe rlain
Hoyt has managed to cut off the locoiocos butt end
ers ndomtables, and other ragged democ rats, from
all immediate approach upon the delicate person of
his Excelleney. When the locofocos wrote their
letter to the President, inviting him to New York,
he sat down and wrote a reply declining any public
reception of party character. Why so Mr.. Van
Buren,, Of all things in the world has the greatest love
for ocsoco votes bnt the greatest horror at coming
in contact with democracy in its natural elements,
il exhibits itself in ragged breeches tobacco juice
oozng out of the lips, or hair combed year.
But while the President was toying with his spe-
cial friends, Mr.. Hoyt, with great acuteness, was
busy preparing another and splendid recep-
ton for his patron.
About three weeks ago Governor Seward gave out
to his friends here that he should visit this city
the Fourth. Accordingly General Sanford, General
Doughty, and General Lloyd, the two latter whigs
the first "any thing by turns, but nothing long,"
Informed Of the Governors intention, and be-
gan to make preparations to give him splendid re-
ception. As soon as Grand Chamberlain Hoyt heard
Of this he inseniously projected the idea Of bringing
on the President at the time, who as Chief
Magistrate Of the Union and Command Chief Of
the Army and Navy, would rank above the Cover
and take all the glory and ecat OF the reception
When the military arrangements were nearly COM
pleted for the reception Of the Governor il was nt-
mated that his Exceency the President would visit
New York. This, OF course, made the Governor
back out, and sickness in his family afforded very
good excuse.
But the arrangements of the military could not be
so easily changed, particularly the President is
Command rim Chief Of the Army and soldiers never
get sick. BY this movement a military reception
will be given TO Mr.. Van Buren--the wings, who
form the greater portion OF the uniformed soldiers
and officers, brought into the affair." by the usual
military discipline, and Mr.. Van Bnren with great
JOY, escapes the dirt, discipline and association of
his locooco friends, under the name Of declining their
honors, while he will be received BY about 5000 Of
the troops, who are gentlemen, men Of education
and generally wings.
To cover this fuany manGuvre we hear tina, a
committee OF 200 locoiocos pale horses, with as
small portion of hell following after them as poss-
bio, will attend on the Battery on Tuesday next,
merely TO show the locofocos that Mr. Van Buren,
has not abandoned them. Bat the reception of the
President will be entirely in the hands OF the militia
ry, who are principally wings. On The morning Of
Tuesday he will arrive at Jersey City and soon after
he will land on the Battery, under fen de joie from
the artillery, commanded by Gen. Sanford Through.
out his visit here the dirty locofocos will be kept
a distance from his Excellency. At the City Hall,
those with clean faces and fresh linen NAV be per
mtted TO him al dstance-and If their ha .ds are
washed with soap and water, the latter fresh from
the pump, they may be permitted to shake hands
with their Lord and Master. But the whig military
will be the fayortes Of his Excellency. We shall
have great times next week.
