gave them great delight, and will constitute an
era in their life. In another room he was intro
duced through two lines Of young ladies' con
nected with the Institution. Atlhe exit eme end
Of one Of the lines were two very pretty little
misses, TO whom the President gave IA parting
ki.s, which made their liltle hearts beat high
with pleasure.
The company then drove down TO the Ameri
eaa Hail. where the Declaration of lndepen-
dence was signed. There he was introduced
10 many thousands of his fellow citizens, among
them 10 The Mayor OF Philadelphia, who, in a
neat address, welcomed him in behalf The peo-
Pile. The President replied, in that strain of te-
licitous eloquence so peculiar TO him. His alu-
sion to the sacred ground on which their inter
view occurred, The Hall Of Independence"
and TO the portrait of William Penn, which hung
on the right of him, elected cheer after cheer
from the assembled thousands 1t was from
this spot, said he that the first authoritative de-
claraton OF the glorAus doctrine of "equal
rights" was made. Ii was here, he said, that
the benign maxim Of "pcace on earth and good
will TO men, was announced as the ruling prin-
cple Of our political ethics Though not so
intended, we presume, the people present chose
TO receive this intimaton as rebuke to the I'M
manly conduct of the Wing councils, and it pro-
duced the most astounding applause.) Your
political edi6ce, the corner stone Of which was
laid by him, (Penn,) has been. need not say,
appropriately completed by the glorious assem-
blage of l776, whose names and acts have hal
lowed this spot, and whose spirits remain the
would IN vain attempt to present this address to
your readers, the effect of which was so thrill
ing that few hearts but lhrobbed with more ele-
waited emotions, and few eyes did not yield their
tributes 10 eloquence which came warm from
the heart, and was more effective from being
without prclnediaion.
Being much fatigued, and The room being ex-
cessiyely hot and crowded, the President with
drew soon after, and returned to his quarters at
the United States Hotel. He left the Hall Of
independence and walked through the square,
followed by the throng, who greeted him at
every step with their plaudits
AT two o'clock he sat down TO splendid din
ner, got up by the committee of arrangements.
On his right sat Gov Porter, Postmaster Gene
raj Wicklife, Mr.. Robert Tyler, jr., and Mr..
Cooper On his left were Mr.. Secretary Spen-
Ger and Mr.. Secretary Porter. The dinner par
iy broke up early, in consequence Of the de-
parture Of the President at p. M. for Prince
ton.
Mr. Robert Tyler accompanied the President
TO The Mint, but no luther.
The day is in ,uiferably hot again-people are
melting with the heat.
Las ,veaing the band came in front of the
Hotel, and gave the President most delightful
serenade, playing Norma the Cracovienne, &c.
1t was literally a serenade, for the moon shone
out most beautifully. The President had re-
tired. He is an early riser. He said to Mr..
Spencer one morning, 81 am before you, Mr..
Secretary" Mr.. Spencer replied, "Yes, sir,
YOU are before me in every thing, and always
I likely to be-"
The President, by the way, is very happy al
an off hand speech, or an off-hand bon mot.
| Very many wreahs and bouquets were thrown
to the President yesterday, en- route, by the
ladies from The windows-some Of them for his
son Robert. One beautiful bouquet was accom-
panied by the following note:
This simple little wreath is intended TO convey the
admiration and gratitude Of the who casts it at
the feet Of the patriotic statesman, who as the Chief
Magistrate of free and enlightened republic, has
hitherto pursued that fearless and independent
in the discharge of his official duties, as will
tually place on his head a of laurels, which
will bloom through this world; and that they may
through all eternity, is the lervent prayer of her
whose Offering this is M. R. o.
1t is needless to say, it afforded The President
great satisfaction.
