Alter hiiguing Journey General Taylor has arri-
we'd ut Washington, where Il Is TO be hoped, he will
be permitted TO repose In quiet for least few days
that lac may recruit his strength. II his path from
his home TO the seat OF government has not been
literally strewed with roses his reception al every
stopping place has been so unanimous and cordial
to satisfy him that he goes into the Office of chief
magistrate with the best wishes Of his feIlow-cili-
zens, without distinction of party He has no doubt
experienced the Inconvenience as well as the plea
sures which attend unbounded popularity-and his
good right arm" which has nobly welded the
sword In deence.of his country, has probably been
rendered almost powerless by lis incessant in
welcoming friends. Every one has felt desirous Of
graspng the hero Of Buena Vista by the hand, not
rejecting that it would require frame of iron TO
undergo this ceremonyfor aleng thened period without
puin. General Harrison had, we believe, 10 put his
right arm In sling and to his left and General
TAYLOR has probably suffered considerably
from the same cause. Now, TO prevent this
infection for the future, we propose that the
Chinese mode OF salniation be adopted that is
that every man shall shake his own hand, instead OF
that Of the great man visited. This would avoid all
danger Of dislocatng the arm OF the individual In
tended to be handled
Having arrivedat Washington, General Taylor
will Of course require TO be left AT leisure to make all
necessary arrangements preparatory to assuming the
duties Of the Office to which he has been elected and
we hope, therefore, that those who may be in search
of office will not obtrlide themselves upon him at
the present moment. II we properly understand his
character il will be no accommodation 10 his favor
for applicants for Office to be imporlunate. Bali.

He is not only man Of profound scientific ability
disciplined in the severest school of study known In
the United States but he has matured and improved
his earlier acquisitions since his arrival at manhood
by the most diIigen research perseverngy pursued
