Correspondence Of the Heraldl
PRINCETON, June ii, lS43
The subject of the discourse was Meditation, %
from Psalms lab, 5-"IRemember the days of old
/ mediate on all thy works. muse on the works
of thy hands,"
Meditation was recommended closing the eyes,
by Withdrawing their vision from external objects,
facilitates meditation and was pleased to notice
that the Hon. the Secretaries of the Treasury, of
War, and of the Post Office, were in very medl.
tative mood. There were about one hundred
people in attendance to hear the Rev. Mr.. Hare of
the Episcopal Church, preach TO the President, his
Cabinet, and Robert Tyler
Things here are in very curious, complicated,
inexplicable condition. The Herald's John Jones,
who he is, where ne is and what he s exctes great
think they have found him out. The question was
gravey discussed here as to who should sleep with
Captain Tyler while at Captain Stock ,on's-and it
was unanimously decided that it should be John
not, then he was to sleep with Bob Homer, alias
Robert E. Homer, editor of the Princeton Wing
Quaker on occasion-leads the Clay wings in
these dlgglns-infiuenced the College boys on the
an attempt to cheer him, which accounts for Colo.

giving three cheers for Prof Dodd. Captain Stock

politics here of the different parties and persons are
getting most strangely confused, as well as
The baggage and other matters. Mr. TYLER
has taken the olive branch of peace in his
hand-acts entirely upon the IN medic tufissi
mus tbs principle, declaring himself thorough
democrat. l am inclined to think that much OF this
confusion that now exists here among the President
his suite, and his tail, including the baggage, and
The Joneses,. Is owing to the complications of DIR
Solomon Andrews, the ingenious inventor of the Ia
nous combination lock. He is just the man to set
anything In state OF complication. He is one of
the Perth Amboy Committee, and in fact the mover
OF the whole matter OF receiving the President at
Amboy. He is altogether the greatest genius in
New Jersey-aways excepting Bobby Homer. He
is also the manufacturer OF all the mail locks for the
United States Government-in short, he Is "one OF
them.'
| forgot to say that DR.. Thomas, the Presidents
physician, accompanies the suite. Dr. Kennedy, the
celebrated u. 5. mail agent, also accompanies the
sate He is also great thief caicher-great travel
Ter desperate bachelor, and dangerous among the
ladies-anda great genius. He too may be set down
as zone of them," if historical accounts can be
trusted.
We leave this borough tomorrow att A. M.
for New Brunswick, by special train of cars,
where the President is TO have public reception.
Thence by private carriages-a barouche and six
white horses for the President-to be driven by
Sanderson, the celebrated whip-on to Perth AM
hoy, where he will be received publIcly-Mr
Bruin is the chairman of the committee there, Of
which Dr. Andrews is one-the President will be
addressed by the Rev John HaIsey, principal of the
Raritan Female Seminary. You know the rest.
L. 81 have just been informed that Mr.. Sec.
Porter is 9uarered with Mr.. John II. Thompson,
one OF the Committee. Yours &C.,
JOHN JONES, OF New York.
