or family influence, and built up his own fortune
from the foundation. His princey fortune Of $780,

In all his investments, he has considered the com
munty In which he lived as entitled to share In his
gains by selecting such employmcnis of his capital
as while they yielded him fair profit, would at the
same time best promote the prosperity of the public
II Is believed that Boston, at the present moment is
the most fourishing and prosperous community in
the world, and II 10 mainly TO be attributed to the
fact of her having the right sort Of men TO direct and
govern the public enterprise Among them Abbott
Lawrence Is the most prominent. He is, more

II il well known that In the Convention which
nominated Gen. Taylor fol the Presidency, Mr.
Lawrence received very strong vote for Vice Pre-
sident and but for the singular course pursued BY
some Of the Nothern members Of that body would
In all probability have received the nomination fol
that high office. He was not the man, however, to
feel that any injury was done to him by the selection
Of another and he at once into the canvass and
supported the nominations with all the influence he
could weld--he addressed public meetings In vari.

Of the Wing ticket and to defeat the efforts Of the
fanatics who, without fur,herng any object Of their
own, would have subjected the Union TO another

you were par excellence the most prominent. Now

OMISSION.

We are not sensible Of having ever been
50 obnoxious to just apprehension, as in the
omission Of the date Of the year Of the copy
we made on Friday Of Mr.. Holden's criti-
cism on "a Tour to the Lakes by A
Traveller, We put in September 23d. and
left out ls43, which was plain before US.
The omission would make the cursory reader
infer IT to mean last September; and the
subjoined notice Of the death Of Mr.. Holden
in '46 created worse idea for commentary
We regret the error, and make the only
amendment in our power, requesting ls4a
TO follow September 23d, when looked al
again.

The President arrived at Cincinnati from
Frankfort on Thursday noon last-the boat
upon which he wasa passenger being escort
ed by four other steamers.
When he landed, his appearance was
greeted by the most uproarious cheering on
the part Of the multitudes assembled to give
him welcome.
The committee Of the city authorities re-
ceived him in due form and with brief
speech welcoming him to the Queen city.
The President did not reply.
He was then escorted through the princl-
pal streets Of the city, amid crowds Of spec
tators who saluted him with huzzas, waving
Of handkerchiefs and every other demonstra-
ton Of respect.
On Friday night, at a late hour, he EN-
barked on board the steamboat Telegraph
for Pittsburg, after witnessing the illumina-
ton Of the city in honor Of his presence.
AT Madison, Indiana, where he stopped
Tor few hours, he received severe fall,

get near to him. He soon recovered, how
ever, f I'm its ELECTS.

We desire to call the after tion OF the

and set forth facts in accordance with the
truth Of history. They tall OPPORTUNITY upon

test in the public mind as to his true position

ira party President, and they hy into pas

he has been elevated in any other spirit than

want him to violate his pledges, go into Con-
gre.s with an extreme party at his back and

Democratic incumbents Of the federal Offices
at Washington and in the States, solely be-
cause the incumbents are Democrats, and to
appoint IN their places the most ultra Wings

THE NEW CABINET.


cinnati on Friday last, sent telegraphic
despatch to JOHN NJ CLAYTos, Of Della
ware, whom he supposed to be in Washing
ton, offering him the first place in the new
cabinet. In the absence Of Mr., CLAYTON,
who has been Gale d home to attend to the
last sad Offices to the remains of his deceas-
ed son, recently arrived from Havana where
he died, Nh, SPRuANcE, Of Delaware,
opened the despatch, which was received
on Saturday evening last, and communica-
ted its contents Immediately to Mr.. CLAY
ton. The reason for communicating the
PRESIDENTS intentions to the honorable
gentleman in advance Of the PRESIDENTS
arrival, is, that the Legislature Of Delaware,
which is now in session and which is nome n
tarily expected to adjourn, may have the
opportunity Of electing successor to Ma.
CLAYTON, for it does not assemble again till
1851. 1t will be remembered that the Gov
ernor Of Delaware is Democrat, and that
the Wings have a majority on JOINT ballot in
the Legislature, and it is no more than just
that Mr.. Clayton's successor should represent
the more recently declared will Of the peo-
pie Of Delaware We congratulate the moder
ate man Of all parties, upon the selection ofthe
able Senator from Delaware for the Depart
ment Of State. It is one the very best APP
pointments that could have been made. The
whole country will respond to the wisdom
Of the choice. Mr.. Clayton is one Of the
earliest friends of the illustrious President
elect, and brings to the discharge of his du-
ties one Of the best diplomatic minds in the
Union, and industry unsurpassed, and a.
fund Of knowledge that will enable him to
win for himself bright renown in the ad-
ministration of the department Of Foreign
Affairs, to which, we earnestly hope, his
Office is about to be confined by law.
Our opinion Of Mr.. CLAYTON is fully ex-
pressed in the following paragraph from the
National Wing Of Saturday last, which we
do not think, il will be out Of place to re-
publish on the present occasion.
JOHN NJ. CLAYTON, OF DELAWARE.
An experienced statesman and legislator,
an orator Of the persuasive school, always
ready TO discuss public questions which'he
never fails to illuminate, thoroughly versed
in the diplomatic and Legislative history Of
the country, frank, courteous and winning in
his intercourse, possessed Of a happy flow Of
language in .enunciation Of his IDEAS, logi-
cal and highly rhetorical in his speaking and
writing, man Of enlarged views of public
policy, looking forward with an abiding faith
in the power Of this republic to preserve it
self, prompt in Selling hold Of new and use
full ideas wherever they may be found and
reducing them to practice, prudentin his coun-
sells and just in all that he does, universally
esteemed by those who know him, and whose
integrity is beyond the shadow Of suspi-
cion.
