Reception Of EX.PrtSidCnt Polk.

The reception given by the people
and authorities of New Orleans, yes
terday, to ex-President Polk, in his
passage through our city homeward,
was worthy of themselves, and melted
the honors due the distinguished re-
cipient of their inequalities. Party
lines were efTaced, and all united in
manilesting respect for the citizen
who has filiedthe most exalted respon-
sible office known to Institutions with
ability, dignity, and, now that he re-
tires TO the quiet of home, we believe
it will be generally conceded, with
the heart OF an American patriot gui.

About o'clock in the morning, the
steamer James L. Day arrived at the
lake terminus Of the Ponchartrain rail-
road, from Mobile, with Mr.. Polk and
family on board. The arrival was
hailed with a national salute, by do
tachment of Major Gally's Artillery
Battalion, under command Of Lieut..
Maroon. Immediately after the boat
landed, Mr.. Page, representing the
Committee Of Reception, invited Mr..
Polk, his lady, and two lady friends,
and Col. Watson, of Montgomery,
Ala, TO quarters which he had pro-
vided for the party, at the Washington
Hotel. Shortly after, Mr.. Page was
reinforced by the arrival Of his col.
leagues, MessTs. Luclus G. Duncan,
Solomon, Marks and Barthe,

united in extending a cordial welcome

Comforts there are in married life,
And there are crosses too.

With an uneFalsful sound,
But yet Tememher, bliss On earth
No mortal ever found.
Your prospects and your hopes are great,
May heaven these hopes fulfill
But you will find in every state
Some difficulty SILL
The rite which lately joined your hand
Cannot insure content;
Religion forms the strongest band,
And loves the best cement.
A friendship founded on esteem
LIES stormy blast enduresi
Il will not vanish like a dream
And such trust is yours.
Though you have len fathers wing
No longer need his care
!. is but seldom husbands bring
A lighter yoke TO wear
They have their humors and their faults,
So mutable is man;
Excuse his foibles in thy thoughts,
And hide them when you can.
Nor anger nor resentment keep,
Whatever be amiss
Be reconciled before you sleep,
And seal it with kiss.
or if there's cause 10 reprehend,
Do it with mild address;
Remember he's your dearest friend,
And love him ne'er the less.
lis not thk way to scold at large,
whaie'er proud reason boast
For those their duty best discharge
Who condescend the most.
Mutual attempts to serve and please
Each other will endear:
Thus may you draw your yoke with ease,
Nor discord interfere.
Thus give your tehdereSi passion scope,
Yet better things pursue:
BE heaven the object Of your hope,
And lbilher lead him to-
Since you mus, both resign your breath,
And God alone knows when,
So live that You may part at death,
To meet with Joy again.

@The Enquirer says, Mr.. w. C.

invented a machine for composing
and setting type" We have heard Of
the invention of similar machines
since our earliest recollection; this,
however, comes nearer to us than the
balance-though we do not think it
will come any nearer accomplishing
the object of its invention. The ins
vention Of a machine which would in
reality set type. so as TO obyiate the
present mode, would, in our estima~
ton, be the most important one ever
invented. But we look upon its i'm

impossible, than perpetual motion @
any thing else; and we firmly believe
that a machine of shat sort will never
be invented. Mr. p. solicits thec1iH

The HOME DEPARTMENT.- good

Clerk, the former at a salary of 81, 900,
and the latter at salary of $4,000;
and all the other officers are TO be
taken from the other Departments a

be transferred from them to the Home

takes from the State Department, the

OUR NEW VOLUME

he lRIBUSE Is this week presented TO its
readers upon an enlarged sheet but not otherwise
improved, as we had intended Owing 70 a dis
appointment in not receiving new materials. we
are Obliged TO do the best we can with such as
we have,tor the present. Wo hope however, soon
TO receive the materials for improving the appear
auce of the Tribune still more If we cannot
boast that our paper contains more matter than
any other parer in the west We can assure our
readers that il contains as much as our patronage
VIII warrant 1t may be thought by some that
with the size cniarged and price reduced the Trib-
une cannot be as good as heretofore We trust
however, that we shall soon convince our readers
that such will not be the case Our object in re-
ducing the price is to increase our circulation a
TTlong those who PAY THE PRINTER, and thereby
do away the necessity Of asking good subscribers
to pay for the papers of poor ones
= Another very wrong impression has been
entertained by many, to wit: that in adopting the
advance pay system. we receive nothing but cash
on subscription Such is not the fact. We shall
be glad as heretofore to receive all kinds of pro
duce in payment for the Tribune The only diff
derence in this respect IS that in future we shall
require pay in advance, and the reduction in the
price IS equivalent to allowing our subscribers
thrty-three and third per cent interest for their
money.
With regard TO the political complexion of the
Tribune, It is unnece sary to speak. We are

or abuse and one Of the doctrines of the Wing
party Is the exposure Of abuses praetced upon the
public from whatever source to which we shall

to the principles of the Wing party. we should do
injustice TO our own feelings were we to neglect
10 tender to our political opponents, our thanks
for the patronage they have heretofore kindly be-
slowed upon us and should they together with
all our old patrons see fit to continue their sup
port they wili ever find grateful ioI the favors

make the Tribune worthy of support, we once
