WASHINGTON, April 3, lS4l,

10 o'clock, 7. Nj.
Althourh we do not cease to be anxious about the
President the reports Of his health to-day, by his
physicians, more fiatterlng, tomorrow IS Inc
ninth day or critical period of his disease. Whnt
foundation there is for this opinion do not know but
it appears to be common, as If derived from the usuai
history of the disease. If God should be pleased to
restore him. we shall look back with wonder, that any
man could have stood much. | do not think that
the President has been well since the day of his nau
guration The arrangements of that day were exceed
ngly i'll Judged. Instead Of riding in carriage, he
was mounted on horseback, TO ride through the dust OF
Pennsylvania Avenue, receive, uncovered for the
whole distance, the acclamations of the people HIS
dress was as white as a mers when he arrived at the
capol and lie was faint with the sufferings of such
gauntlet that alcohol and other appliances were re-
ouired 10 battle his head and temples.
Then there was the effort of speaking for an hour
and half TO 40 900 people sufficient effort for any
man of ordinary strength Then TO return in the same
way TO the White House, exposed the whole distance
to cool air. with all the pores of his body open by the
effort he had made. Then instead of retiring and TAX
nr refieshment 10 stand several hours till that vast
assembage of people could pass through his mansion
and be introduced to him. The evening, too, was
spent in public at home, besides visiting several dane
ING assemblies, till late hour of the night Think of
all this! Why, it enough to kill any body.
From that day do not think the General has been
we'll Then the exceeding, the nhuman cruelty that
has been practiscd upon him, till his confinement this
day week, by taking advantage of his hospitality and
kindness, throngng his house from morning TIL bed
ne without regard 10 ionrs, and forcing him to keep
common table Tor all at breakfast, dinner and tea!
One day. when it might be supposed that his rush
principally over, he had sixteen invited guests 10 din
ner aud Obliged 10 extend the tables for sixty OF
course all this would make of confusion like
hotel the arrival of forty unexpected passengers by
steamboat But the worst Of all was, that every
had business. How conld any human being endure
such an everlasting excitement.
The Washington letter writer Of The Journal of Com
marce confirms this account in the following PHI
"Many have prognosticated the death Of General
Harrison at an early day. Mr.. J. q. Adams, among
Others said lie could not survive the change OF life and
habits Some said that he exposed himsclftoo much and
was fond Of affecting the habits of youth and vgor.
Many noticed, with alarm, his careessneas Of his
health, when he walked from the railroad depot, his
arrival in this city, through elect and snow, 10 the City
Hall, MISUNDERSTANDING even toh have umbrella
