The Boston Advertiser is guilty Of very gross error
in installing the Presidents reception for an evidence OF
popularity. II contends that the crowd who surround
him. and the hunahs which they occasionally raise,
saiiac,oy proofs that the violation Of his pledges and
the prescription Of officers have not forfeited the conf.
dence Of the people. The procession Of President will
always draw crowd around him. For one man or
woman whom respect for him brings around him, there
are hundreds who are drawn together by curiosity to see
sPrsiasnt Ins large crowd there are always some
persons TO raise huah. But understand that the
reception though has been cordial with some who like
his manaers, he's been destitute Of general enthusiasm
The report H. that many who have had the best opporu
nifty Of spprecsng his understanding are astonshed at
the elevation to which he has attained Hence there is
little truth in the conclusion Of the Boston Advertiser that
