for the occasion by Messrs. S,rader German. T.
Fairly in the morning, the crowd began to gather IN
the neghborhood Of the flenrie House. from whence
il was understood the General would move lie ieit
that house under the escort Of the Cincinnati Trays,
and proceeded foot to the boat attended by an I'M
mense crowd On board, the General took his station
near The wleehouse surrounded By his friends, until
,he military were arranged upon the hurricane deck.
He then came forward upon the deck and addressed
the immense crowd OF both sexes that hed our spa
cious landing and the windows and tops OF the sur
ROUNDING houses and boats. He adverted to the dif
ference between his present situation and the present
state ofthe city, and contrasted them with what both
were short of fifty years since. Then an Ensign, he
landed upon these shores where the only marks Of i'm
provement few log cabns noar, raised, by the
voices Of the working men, real Democracy OF the
country the highest station in the world he depart
cd from large and splendid city, taking leave oil ms
friends perhaps for the last time, to take upon himself
the cares of Government. If any man had reason TO
be thankful and grateful, he had. The General went
on 10 saw that his future conduct should be governed
by that vital principle of Democracy, the greatest good
ofthe greatest number. He requested his fellow citi-
gems to Judge him only by his acts-and as he did not
ask their APPRECIATION IN adronee he hoped they would
not permit him be abused in adcancc. He then took
an cctionate farewell Of his friends and fellow clti
zens.
The General was in fine health, and spoke in a
n,arkabv strong and clear voice. The boat moved
down the river and returned past the city, the military
on the boat and the shore firing voleys, and the
fine brass band board playing lively and animatng
airs. Cheers, loud and long, exchanged from the
boat, and the multitude on shore The General stood
uncovered out from the throng, viewing his fellow citi-
zens with beating heart and moistened eye.
