guns was fired-the officers of the Army and Ma

THE HONORS TO THE PRESID EN-

In another part of our journal we give the de-
tails OF the visit, speeches, professions, &c. &C.
called forth by the visit of the President 10 the ci
ty of New York. They show that the CITY pour
ed forth in mass, without reference TO party preIu
dlces, or party preferences, and, therefore, there
probably has been the greatest display ever be-
lore made in honor of public man. From o.
clock A. M. to 3 +. M. there one continued
stream OF population from the upper parts of the
city to the Battery, and when MIR. Tyler landed
at Castle Garden there on, and iG the vicin-
ty OF the Battery. and the Bowling Green, proba-
bly, sixty thousand people. The military and the
cavaIcade, and the procession, were nearly one
hour and half in passing office, but in these
professions were but very small part of the inn
nense multitude. Mr.. Tyler belonging TO no
party, and no party intending to belong to him,
there was not only curiosity to see this novelty
OF President without party, but an emulation
among the contending parties, TO turn ont and
swell the crowd. Thus crowd Gen. Jackson
himself could not draw, nor Gen. Harrison. the
most popular of our late Presidents, Mr. Tyler
0ta draw toT all parties were OUT none through
party hostility staying at home. or deemino that
their presence added any thing TO his popularity.

Observation-Disclosures AT CINCINNATI

OREGON-CONVENTION AT CINCINNATI
Convention of persons friendly to the settle
ment of Oregon Territory by citizens of the Uni
ted States, has been called to meet at Cincinnati,
on the third, fourth and fifth of July next. A
committee has been appointed to prepare reports
to be read before the Convention on the following
subjects
list. history of our most important relations
and negotiations with England, since the peace
OF 1888, and also statement of their present Sit
uation, probable tendency aud apprehended con-
sequences.
I'D. A history of Mr.. Monroe's Declaration Of
1928: That the American continent was not to
be considered subject to colonization by any En-
ropean power; and Of the circumstances under
which 1t was made; also to indicate and define
Its proper application and extension, and set forth
such vlndicaion of the principles Involved as is
afforded by the laws Of nations, Of nature. and of
necessity.

cation between America and Europe across the
Itofth American continent, and compare the prob
able facilities with present and other proposed
routes between and across the continent OF Eu-
rope ASIA and America. The probable influence

and history of the Caucasian race, on general
science, and on the commercial and political sys-
lens of the world.
'lth. discourse on the value, extent and
probable destiny Of the Oregon Valley"
Whenever the course of emigration is fairly
set towards the Oregon country, the settlement
OF that territory must follow very rapidly The
advantages of trade which the occupation of the
Pacific coast will give may for time cause the
new settlements to spread along the line of the
seaboard; but soon it must happen that the popu-
iailon extending gradually back from the coast

the east.
These remarks may seem to have a very dis
tant reference to any events likely to happen i'm
this generation. Blu; the progress of our popula
uon Westward has continually run before coniec-
'ure; the rapidity Of lis advance has hardly ceas
ed to surprise, as it has been sipnalized bv one
phenomenon, before new surprise has arisen a,
the appearance Of another. In respect to the Or
egon country there will be special inducements TO
draw emlgrants thither, far stronger than those
which have usually enticed our people West

Just before the late election, the Enquirer stated
that it was authoriSedto sayihat Mr.. Wise had de-
clared that he would support the nominee of the
Democratic Convention. short time after the
election, the Enquirer published letter from Mr.
Wise, denying the truth of the authorized state
ment previously made. Who authorized the frs,
statement, we know not; but we do not think so
badly OF Mr.. Wise as to suppose that he had any
hand In it-as is charged in the annexed para
graph, from the ousvile Journal :-HH;g
"Durng the canvass for Congress in the Acco-
mac district statement, purportng to be by au-
thoriiy,appeared in the Richmond ENQUIRER TO the
effect that MIR. Wise would vote for The nominee
OF the Locoioco National convention for the Pres
idenCY. Mr.. Wise, now that the election is over
and nc has proiited by the statement in question,
denies, in letter to the Enquirer, that any thing
OF the kind was ever authorized by him. He
was very careful however, not to put forth the
denial before the election, although he had ample
Time to do so: he chose TO let the statement
whether true or false, remain uncon,radictcd as
long as there WAS chance of its being in the
slightest degree SCrviceable to him.
at is needless to inquire WHO authorized the
statement made i'm the Enquirer. Our belief is.
That MIR. Wise himse authorized it. We regard
his denial as no proof to the contrary. We have
ample evidence that he is capable of talsehood-
tie stated, not long ago, that Mr. CLAY during the
session of Congress of 1910, al, strongly urged
him to accept foreign mission; which was as
vile lalsehood as ever was uttered A denial of
1t promptly appeared in one of the Wing papers
al Lexington, and we suppose that Mr.. Wise can
not Affect 10 be at all i'm doubt as to who was the
authority for The denial.''

WHAT'S IN A NAMS THE logic Of the Poet,
when he asked this question, would not apply
very well to public affairs. 1t is true, unques-
uonably, that the rose by any other name would
smell as sweet; and it ought to be true that the
Intrinsic merit OF any measure, however it may be
styled. should ensure its adoption. But it is mo-,
so. Mems prejudices are stronger than their
judgments. "Aye," said an old politician, rea-
ding part Of a speech delivered by Roger Sher-
man, without knowing whose it was, sage, that's
right; these are my sentiments" "Why," re-
piled young lawyer, 'that is the speech Of as
rank Federalist as ever breathed MERCY on
me-" responded the old man; "could I be SO de-
ceived! felt some how il it were not all
right "Console YOURSELF" replied the lawyer,
who liked his Joke" it is his speech, but he was
quoting just where you were reading FROM Nat
Macon. And the OLD went away glad that
he had not been deceived, though in fact what he
! read was Roger Sherman's.
And so 1t is with large class Of men i'm our
day.-Call measure Federal, and they de-
nounce it; call it Democratic whether 1t be Fed
eral or not, and they support it: and they do
| this without any reference to consistency, good
sense, or the substance of the thing opposed or
defended. Mr.. Senator Smith, in his excellent
pamphlet, dwells forciby on this, and illustrates
IL in the following happy manner. He is speak
ing of the use of the-names Federal and Eederaisi
''Names are all powerful in political contests.
! We'll do the leading modern Democrats know
the force and truth Of this remark, hence they
not only hold on to the respectable name of Dem
ocrat, but with one voice they stamp their oppo.
nents with the name of Frderalis,; and their
measures as Federal measures. They abandon
and ADOPT measures themselves a, pleasure-a
one time for a national bank, at another agains
! 1T; at one time for the pet bank system, at anoh
against 1t, AT one time for the issues of State and
local banks, at another against ali bank paper
ut one time for treasury notes, at another agains
it; and still they Democrats; and each measure
,rhile they support ii, rs Democraiic.-But tn,
moment they abandon IL, for some new expedient
II becomes rifle Ftderai measure, and all who
support it are Federahsfs.'
There is something then in a name, though We
hope the time is coming when men will have
the sense to look beyond i,.--Cip. Gazette.
