The PRESIDENT IN TRENToN--We had the high graft
caton, yesterday OF flying visit from the President of
the United States He took the O'Clock train at New
York, and arrived at Trenton about o'clock He was
cndeavong to travel in quiet and private manner as
possibe and hence special train had been provided
for his passage through the State
But wherever he appeared, immense crowds locked TO
see him. Quite number of Jerseymen we were pleased
to see took the train and came down with him. Among
the number we observed General Darcy, MAJOR Knott
Col Burroughs, Alderman McCermic, j. Courter;
Southland, and some others from Newark Mr. Ogden
of Paterson; Mr. w. Thompson, of Somerville General
Smith. of New Brunswick; John Thomson, James s
Green and the common council, OF Princeton and 9TH
ers whom we cannot now cali to mind
Peter D. Vroom, Philemon Dickinson, Samuel R. Ham,
iton and committee of the common council, attended
by Marshal McCurg went to New York for the purpose
OF meeting the President, and bringing him forward AT
Princeton he was met by the common council and James
s. Green esq, who addressed him, and he replied from
the in happy strain Of illusions to New Jersey and
her classical recolections f}C#t
When the train reached Trenton, an immense crowd
had gathered at the depot where they had been attracted
by the expected arrival; and the President
made his appearance the dense multitude rushed around
him with eager curiosity, and for some time it quite
impossible to hand him 10 the carriage which had been
provided for his reception.
AT length however, the crowd permitted him to pass
and he entered one of McCoys coaches, drawn by four
men Wood and McKeIway, The South Trenton Rifles,
with music were IN waiting; and, having saluted the
commander chief Of the army placed themselves in
hind the President which passed through Second street
toGreene down Greene to Front through Front War
ren, up Warren to Perry through Perry to Greene down
Greene Second, and thence to the State house The
Rifles were the only company that appeared on the occa
sion, and deserve the warm thanks OF our citizens.
AT the house, the President conducted to the
Assembly-room, where he received by the common
couac-the Hon. VIM. Hasted acting speaker. The
suite Of the Of Mr. BUCHANAN Sec
Com. Stewart OF the United States navytook position
behind the Speakers chair, where we also saw Mr.
stood directly in front, near the desk of the clerk; and
the President conducted in and took position the
platform on the side next the river The council were
ranged in 'front.' and in the rear the undescrbed and indie
Ssnbabe multitude. The gallery was filled with ladies.
MIR. Halsted stepped forward and welcomed the dis
tnguished guest to the city in few remarks which, for
appropriateness and good taste could not well be excelled
We have never heard that gentleman when he did such
entire justice to his subject He said that our welcome
did not parake OF the ceremony and display which had
waited the President at almost every place which he
had visited, and that had few monuments of art
few stately public edfces, and objects of commanding
attention, to which could introduce him. We could,
however, he said, call his attention to memenoes
in New Jerseysome cherished spots, not unworthy of
the attention OF an American citizen and not beneath the
notice of President of the United States
He then alluded, IN beautiful terms, to the haowed
recoections connected with revolutionary history
to the battle ground OF Trenton where he said, the
Presidents lustrous predecessor-the great Washing
tonrased the first eecua barrier against the invading
foe and reiumed the torch of liberty and to another
battle field, where still another of his iustrous prede
Cessors-the immortal Monroe poured out his blood in
behalf of those hallowed principles which have be-
come so firmly established among us.
Although we could not exactly say with the Roman
mother that these were our Jewels yet they chung closely
affections; and we would not exchange them for
all the proud exhibitions the monuments of wisdom and
art which the genius and industry of man may elsewhere
have achieved To these hallowed recollecions he
would then invite the Presidents attention.
The President replied in feeling and eloquent strain
He very ready at reply and this OCCASION seemed
animated by the glances OF the past oIwhch Mr. Hal
sted had directed his Imagination. He rendered his
acknowledgements for the kind and courteous reception
which the city had given him, and for the very aerng
terms in which had been rendered Our State he said

the greatest nation the globe The remembrance of
these events grateful TO his heart and they laid
the most precious of Jewels, the great boon OF human
liberty which had been bequeathed to u.s.

We were the only people who retained regard for be

unparalleled and, If should continue to cling to-

which was before He had, he said, mingled much
with the people Of late; and it among the most
pleasing recolectons of his visit to the north that he had
everywhere heard the strongest expressions of attach
ment to the Union The feeling, he trusted, would be
perpetual
He had he sad been sensby touched by the illusions
