A R RIV AL
or THE
PRESIDENT OF THE j. STATES
IN THE CITY or NEW YORK.

Neither too hot or cold. sort oil miscellaneous
medium-hke the Chief Magistrate himself, IN no.
nor OF whose arrival in the metropolis OF the couu-
try the day broke forth in smiles. The sun shone
brilliantly. but not so powerful as to produce IA
tigue and the wind blew sufficiently strong TO pu-
riiy the atmosphere from unpleasant smells, and o
cool the exctaole temperament OF the thousands
who were throngine our streets all the day.
Without the intense heat, turmoil, dust, noise
drunkenness, and distraction that usually accompa-
ny fourth OF July in this city, yesterday was
quite as much of great gala day that celebrated
national anniversary From the Waverley House
to the City Hall, Broadway was literally redolent o
fags-waving in the breeze, we mean-not those
stationary affairs on the side walks. Towards Ho
tel was superby decorated with banners OF al
kinds At Barnum's American Museum, ano
Peale's in Broadway, there was a string o
flags stretched entirely across the road. Three
large banners waved from the top OF the City Hall
others from the Astor House, Washington Hall
Park Theatre, and twenty other large public build
ings around the Park. Old Tammany Hall alone
looked gloomy and desolate. One old dirty hdl
waved from The top, but nothing from the front O
the building. The fountain in the Park presented
magnificent appearance, for once 1t was indeed
a fountain, throwing up magnificent stream o
water, at least fifty eetin height and two or tire,
feet diameter across the smallesI part Of it. This
attracted crowds of persons of all ages, among
whom were hundreds of beautiful young girls, run
ming and playing upon the greensward. This was
most pleasing and exciting scene. The streets were
thronged with military, horse and foot, their arms
accoutrements, and helmets glittering like
FURNISHED gold The various societies were
mastering with their music and banners in The by
streets. The root beer carts, diversified on theil
SUBMITS with apples and pea nuts, were
mastering in full force, rank and file, around The
ratings of the park, and as the soda water fixed
and the corks OF the root beer bottles flew, and the
pea nuts were disposed of the excitement of course
proporionably increased At one time large
mob, in state of alarm, had collected in front of
Peale's. gazing on a black CHASTITY looking banner,
on which was emblazoned
The LAST Day.
AS the flag waved fitfully about, something like
deaths head and cross bones, and pair of hall
naked legs appeared underneath, intermxed with
some strange hierogliphlcs. The old women ant
little boys gazed and looked extremely terrified a
last, to their great relief, the wind blew out tn
banner to its full breadth, and there was seen
" In full voluptuous and quite o'ergrown bulk"
full length figure of female, and underneath thi
the significant conclusion OF the above line
OF THE FAT GIRL
As set oil to this, Barnum had embazoned il
large letters, 100000 new curlostes, includin.
perpetual motion within, and the devil without"
As the day drew on, the crowds increased, unit
Broadway presented one dense mass of human
beings, from Niblo's TO the Battery. And wha
gave great effect to the scene, was the la1ge ant
fine looking body of Repeaers that assembled il
front of Washington Hall, all well dressed, will
green badges on their breasts and splendid banners
with Repeal With this body there was grea
deal of enthuslasm but with the bulk of the peopl
there was very little, or no enthusiasm whatever
