The following is written by a Clergyman:
we believe for the Presbyterian, after "a visit
to the White-house at Washington. III !, IN IL,
! availed myself of an invitation to visit the
White House to-day, and pay my respect
the President and his lady. AS Iapproaeked1 ,
the mansion, was struck with the entire ABB
senee of all parade and pomP. around the Pre- 4,
sident's mansion. We rode up to the-dooF,,
Tied our horse to the iron fence in front, and,
no man forbidding US, we entered into the *
vestibule of the house. Finding no porterin
attendance, We passed through the yestibule
into the, famous East room. The room 10
magnificent in dimensions; elegantly. though
simply furnished-the whole not being up to n
the standard which among gentlemen Of for
tune is regarded as elegant. After a stroll z
through the rooms for reception we again
reached The vestibule, and finding servantfn
attendance we asked to be conducted to Mrs.
Folks room. / had heard much of Mrs. Pelk,a
much of her beauty, herdignlty, herPieiy. and
had usually made the allowance which is gem
leraliy to be made from all that rumor asserts,
and was prepared to be even disappointed, if
my own standard had not been reached. Il
awaited the approach Of the lady Of the man
sion with much interest. The room appropri-
ated to Mrs. Polk is beautiful in the extreme.
The furniture is new, the pattern unique and
elegant; and one no more accustomed than
myself to critical observation could detect that.
the whole arrangement was under the eye Of
lady Of taste and refinement.
/ In few moments the Presidents lady ap.o
peared. have rarely seen lady in wlADm
so much personal beauty; SO much dignity
and grace of manner; so much ease and kind
ness, were blended. Justice has rarely been
done to Mrs. Polk in any description Ihave1
seen Of her person or manner. Being clergy
man, she at once spoke upon religious subjects,
; and manifested lively interest in religious
things and was not ashamed 20 have it known
that she was on the Lords side. While the
Presidents lady il willing TO acknowledge
her Indebtedness to- God, shejis not obtrusiye.,H
Her piety, sits easily upon her; while no one
+ can doubt who sees her that her religion is
|. one of principle, her unassoniing piety must
command the respect Of all. The prayers Of
Go4'speople, wide as our county, will 60 up
: for Mrs. Polk, that her health and life may be,
e precious in the sight of God; and that amid
, the trials and temptations Of her exalted sta
ton, she may be kept in his holy hand, and
be instrumental of giving moral tone tethel
entire nation. ..ft.a- 5a--a~ q, .z,k-ar -,
: Leaving the Presidents lady, we assembled
to the Presidents room, familiarly called his
Office. His room is very plain. 1t Is indeed
the iplace in which be performs his soficial
tolls. as maps, papers, books, &c. abnndanty
: eyinced. We found the room crowded. A
! large delegation Of Indians from Iowa were
, holding an andiencei with the President-~-the
Secretary of War and genilemen efdistineiion
being present. The indians were noble spe-
: cimens of their race. Their cause was pre-
: scented by an orator, by whom they speak,
. and the words takenfrom his lipsweFe repeats

dian orator was "a noble looking feilowTeIect
as palm tree--bold and eloquent. He SEEM

lowed out zs.ho,v you de- and then passing
round the room and taking the hand of each,
repeated the same expression, in tones that
, might easily be mistaken for a waF-whoop.--
