THE PREsrpEsr's REruRN.-General
Taylor returned 10 the city, OIL the morn
ing Of the 9Th instant, after an absence oil
four weeks. His tour was arrested before
he had visited one half Of the country he
originally designed TO traverse, by NAL
ady which, at one time, assumed most
threatening phase. At Harrisburg and
Carlisle, Pennsylvania. he was attacked
by what was considered prenonitions Of
cholera, but which turned ont to be the in
cipient stages of malady which has proved
but too fatal to many Of our officers who
most distinguished themselves in the Flor
ida and Mexican wars.
The first symptoms Of disease were
readily subdued, and the President resum-
ed his tour not, however, without seri-
Gus misgivings on the part of many Of his
friends as 10 his ability to complete it as
he had purposed on leaving the Capital
The incidents Of his progress through
Western Pennsylvania have been already
published throughout the country; suffice
it 10 say at this time that his reception ev-
erywhere ty the people was such as might
well recompense him for the perils and
hardships he had undergone in serving his
country, and the violence which he has
encountered from politicians.
AT Erie, Pennsylvania, his tour was
brought to sudden termination BY re-
currence Of his attack, with distressing
and onirous symptoms. He was stricken
down by diarrhGa accompanied with a ra-
cling fever. AT one time his physicians,
for two days. apprehended fatal termina-
ton Of his illness. BY careful tending
and skillful treatment he was at length re-
lieved, but in such state Of physical ex
haustion as to render great exeriion or ia
tigue Of any kind unsafe. He left Erie as
soon as he was able to travel, direct for
the Falls Of Niagara, not stopping a, Buffalo
or any other intervening point. AT Mag
ara he hoped TO regain sufficient strength

four hours sojourn there was sufficient TO

ering physical vigor, in any reasonable

excitements such as he had encountered
before his illness, and such as they had
reason TO know awaited further prose
cution Of hi. visit. This circumstance,
and the reception Of dispatches which
made his presence at Washington desira-
BILE, induced the President to hasten his
return home, which he did by the easiest
and most expeditions conveyances.
He reached Washington, as we before
said, on the morning of the eighth instant,
greatly reduced in strength and flesh, but,
we are happy to inform our readers, with

fiuence of domestic life will soon, we trust,
repair his health.-Republic.

The Albany Argus, estimating at its pro-
per value the morality OF the coalition be-
tween the Abolition and Democratic par
ties in opposition to the Wings, gives cold
comfort to its quondam friends on the &C.
casion Of their defeat in Vermont. Such
result, it says, twas to be expected from
the course taken bya portion Of the Dem
ocra's Of that State, in making formal D.
alition with Abolitionists and disaffec,ed
Wings, and putting on their ticket men Of
all parties"
ut is but another lesson" adds the
Argus, "to the Democrats of other States
to form coalition with any other political
body not protesting the principles Of the
national Democratic party, and unwilling
to unite on the platform and resolutions
adopted by three successive Democratic
National Conv MENTIONS, is sure to meet
with discountenance from the Democratic
Masses"

for some time kept house of i'll fame in the suburbs
Of Portland, Maine, became somewhat tyrannical to
some of his customers, consisting mostly Of sailors,
on the night OF the eth instant. The sailors resent

of doors. They soon came back with reinforce
ments and assaled the house with stones, brick
bats, &c. Guns were then fired from the house and
several ofthe sailors we're wounded. The assaiing
party then gained entrance, but were soon eject
ed. They then returned with six FOUNDER, filled
it with stones and fired il several times at the house.
