THE PRESIDENT OF THE u STATES

THE PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES
Returned TO Washington (says Wednesday
nights Union) in this evenings Northern cars
after tortnights absence. He was accompa-
MED by MIR. Clifford, the Attorney General
Mr.. Buchanan, the Secretary OF State, remained
to-day in Philadelphia, and will return TO Wash
inston tomorrow.
No President could have performed SO long
journey, and seen so much Of his country, in so
short time, because Of the present immense IA
cilities afforded TO travelling by steamboats, and
railroad cars. We do not recollect that any other
has travelled so far TO the North. The limit Of
his journey was the town of Augusta, the seat Of
Government Of the State of Maine. He also vi
sited Gardiner, where is the residence ofe1. Sena
tor Evans; and nowhere did the President meet
with more cordial reception.
He spent the last Sabbath in the town ofPort-
land, which he left early on Monday morning;
| and, on that day, lie travelled more than three
hundred miles-being the day, leo, on which the
anniversary of American independence was gene
rally celebrated; and il being expected that he
would traverse that route, he met on his way
thousands OF his fellow citizens who had collect
ed al various populous points. Platforms had
been erected on the line, from which he received
and returned various addresses-as many, per-
haps as len or eleven. On that day, he passed
through many towns-among them were Saco,
portsmouth, lWhere ne uineu odleii, LynD, DUB
ton, &c. &c.
On Tuesday morning, he arrived in The city OF
New York, and on the same evening at Phila-
dephia. Thus, such are the facilities of trans
porlation, he has travelled from Portland 10 Wash
ington between Monday morning and Wednes-
day evening.
We are happy 10 say that the President returns
in good health and excellent spirits, improved by
the comparative relaxation he has enjoyed. and
NOT exhausted by the :a,igues lie has undergone
He returns, 100, delighted with The cordial recep-
ton be has everywhere enjoyed and with the IL
beral spirit OF free people, and with the bril-.
liant signs OF the prosperity which he has every
where wilnessed-an1ious, and, we have no
doubt better qualified to dedicate his time, during
the remainder OF his administration, TO The dis.
charge oflhe duties Of the office, which has been
so highly honored in him, and TO the good OF
country which calls forth all his gratitude and all
his attachment.
