slye heal which, for ten days, had witns'so '"a
.co,cbed every plant, and set the very blood
boiling, was completely driven from the Guy on
Monday by slight shower, aud heasy anu
fierce gusts OF wind, and up 10 The present mo-
mem, we have all brealhed ireer and deeper,
and have never known a more deli 1htiul day
for general jubilee than was the ath' Inc
show, aud noise, and confusion IN the streets
was, as il always has been, and probably ever
will be- The military display was nu'ualiy me
but the great feature Of the day was The ora'ion
delivered before the different mechanic associa
tons. at the Green Street Church, by the Hon
civ Moore. The church, one Of the largest IN
the city, was crowded to excess, and thousands,
who were an xious to listen to this truly eloquent
aud popular speaker, were unable TO obtain en-
trance. The Grafton itself was a most mastery
production, and, although the subject has, by
annual repetition, become almost thread-bare'
| Mr.. Moore gave 10 it new features and new
| interest, and those who have ever heard the
silver-toned and lofty eoquence of this mao,
can imagine the effect the add ess had upon his
world Of hearers" Truly may his brother
mechanics, and The public generally, be proud
of this selfmade man, and his popularity is as
great as il is weil-deserved.
II is now rather late in the day 10 speak OF
the patriotic reception given TO the President In
this city, but as the ignorant and bombastlc Cou-
rier e. Enquirer has seen fit arraign me for Ian
guase used in one Of my letters, slight notice
would appear to be necessary. The following
is the Objectionable paragraph:
"There was one feature, however, which can
moi help but notice, because consider 1t the most
fortunate in the whole affair OF the reception, ono
that was the entire absence of every thing to give II
an official or us would call it, an olce-holders
rec pton The wboe affair entirely in the
hands of the people Suffice II TO say that never has
the reception of any man in this country been more
triumph,nt and enthusiastic than was that OF John
TYLER never did the citizens Of any city in the world
show greater enthusiasm and respect for men ttan
did our own for Mr. Tyler and lis Cabinet Minis
! ters."
The Courier says, among other gentle things,
that
"The fellow who could bring himself to the task
of irving TO make folks believe that there were no
Office or Offices seekers among those who dog.
ged the steps Of Mr. Tyler in this city, would have
no hesitation in undertaking to convince the people
that there is f" no bread in nine loaves"
Now The Courier knows, aud Mr. Daniels,
the gentleman who penned the filth accompany
ing the paragraph above, knows-ior he had the
evidence before hm-that | never asserie
there were no Office holders" in the process

was strictly movement of the People, and II

it, or his man Friday, Daniels, will show wher.

to do with the affair other than following ~

done with The Courier.
i The general tone Of the Wing papers, when
ever speaking Of the present Administration or
those connected with or favoring II, is SO loath-
some, they are so utterly regard, SIS o! all sense
OF decency, that one becomes perfectly nause-
aed with their very sight, and il is not strange
that foreigners look upon the press Of this coun-
try as the most corrupt and degraded Of any in
the void for il is fr m the Wing press they
draw their conclusions IL is fact, that Wing
papers are almost the Only ones that read OF
quoted from by foreign Journalists Whether j
is because the principles they advance are more
in accordance with those entertained by the
aristocrats and monarchists of The old world, o.
not am unable to decide.
The New York American, conducted By
Charles King, is one of this class. Making louo
professions of decency-ever preaching morali
lty--a pimp and panderer TO the tastes Of thu
scrub nobility--a perfect toady to the would bt
aristocracy of the land yet there is certalnl,
more real vulgarly-low and abusive epithets-
more indecency and self-salished air Of con
tempt for all things American 10 this same pa
per than any other in the country. Nothing es
capes the creatures venonl--and he cannot al
low even so holy subject as the celebration OF
the 4th July to pass without INJECTING upon his
readers one of his low and filthy attacks upon
the President. What, pay, would have been he

meut of Postmaster of this city, for which he
was a groveling applicant, or had his gifted
son not been turned out of prominent ofIict 10

exclaim 4" | 100 am an American
There is agood deal of stir among poitica par
