proceeded down the river, they met the mail boat
about eight miles below, from which point they escort
ed the President to the city, arriving at the landing
between ten and eleven O'Clock, where immt
crowd had assembled TO witness the spectacle. The
val of the boats announced to the city and

two other gentlemen, entered barouche and were
escorted by the military through The greater portion

delivered speech descanting all the political top
les OF the day, and concluded by introducing His Ex-
celleDcy 10 the =" veteran Democracy Of Hamil on
county" The reply of Mr.. Polk is said to have been
most appropriate, and whilst he avoided all ausion

the President Of party, but of the whole people
Of the United States that he had been elected by the
unsought surages Of the people, that his only desire
was through the and of alI-wise Providence TO be

ren Advocate, on the propriety of the compile.
ton Of this important work, and It's great advan.
tages over every other route. The idea Of giving
to q company, charter 10 make rall road par,
allel with our canal and public works, is so
suprernely ridiculous, that we cannot imagine
that the Legislature will ever afford the least
countenance TO the project. The friends of the
Jnnata route are aware OF this insurmountable-
this more than Allegheny obstacle in their way,
and are endeavorIng to create an impression, that
it would not niure the canal trade. Had not our
people the example of the Reading Rail Road
which has almost swallowed up the Schnylkill
canal, they might give the subject some Sigh,
degree of consideration.
