gus gives the following account of General [
Taylor's reception and speech at Baltimore
lit is said ihatthe General is going through
Pennsylvania for the purpose Of trying TO have
some effect upon the approaching election
Such bursts of eloquence should certainly
produce great effect. The Argus says:
!. On reaching the hotel. he passed up quiet
/ ty and rapidly to his apartments. which We're
EWatchfully guarded by officer Ritigeiy, lngress
Ibeing refused to any but the suite and lew
/ of the disfingae. In the course OF fifteen or
4 twenty minutes about two hundred and nifty
persons assembled in front of the hotel, and
his Excellency. having in the meantime re-
lfreshed himself, came down, under the escort
of T. Collins Lee, ESQ.,, and addressed The
meagre gathering from the portico. After ia
king off his hat, which he held in his light
hand, his left clinching the iron ralllng' then
adjusting pair of gold spectacles over his
forehead, and bowling to the auditory, VINO
emitted few sickly cheers akin to the chlrp-
ings of brood of chickens with the PIP, Gen
Taylor spoke, word for word, as follows:
SCI thank you, citizens of Baltimore. 1t at
fords me pleas qualification to meet so good
The cholera is now lingering around US; and
although have no apprehensons from the
disease, feared that the gathering together OF
crowds of persons might bring on the disease;
and being anxious to keep off the disease, al
though don't fear it myself, yet thought II
prudent to avoid any public demonstrations
that might tend to increase the disease. Here
he convulsively grasped the railing=] On my
way North, in passing, ] thought I'd stop
here to night, and go along in morning. IA
pause On my return, shall be happy to
meet the citizens of Baltimore, and take as
many of them by the hand as / can. Here
he rubbed his forehead.l But l thought il
better to avoid bringing together any crowd;
on my way, as the disease might be thereby
increased, and | should afterwards reproacf
myself with being the cause"
Here the "Second Washington signifet
the close of his speech by putting on his hat
and then turning abruptly away, a fain! chez
rs caught up the dying echo of the last wor

partments. to enjoy some repose after this ire
mendous intellectual effort, and in few min
utes the area in front of the hotel was vacant

ANoTHER.-MAKE MARK OF THU
:. the borough of York, Pennsylvania, poce
sion was formed in honor of the Presideat
the United States, and Genera! Taylor made
SIS. speech. A correspondent of the Baltimo
u. Argus gives the following sketch of the Ge
erals address,
- "FELLoW-cITIZENs AND LADIES: | cam
be expected, from the fatigue have endur
to. day, to make speech TO you to-day.
can only say, thank you for this-th-ki
6 oh-reception. I can only say, I shall cor
6 out the principles ofhe party that brought
2 into porcer. | thank you for the honor y
have done me this day."
We repeat again, make mark Of THIS,
5 it is we'll worthy of it. Here is the Preside
IL of the United States, making a speech to
! mixed assemblage of his fellow citizens, de
2 ocrats as well as wings, who have assemhl
10 to do him honor, and what does he say
them? " I shall endeavor to carry out
principles of the PARTY that brought me
T to power" And this is the man who v
6 not to be the President of a party-who v
not to lend himself to party schemes-w
would have received a nomination from a
- party, &c. Glorious consistency Admi
lOl Bile propriety! Oh! shame, where is
rlty, blush
