one of the most important and magnificent
Public Works of the age, was one series Of
gratifying "triumphs." Every where, the Pres
ldent of the Republic was received with enthn-
siastc cordially. Such reception" is worth
having! 1t is unbought, spontaneous, hearty;
it "bIesses them that give, and him that takes,
and we are sure President FILLMORE, and
Messrs. WEBSTER, GRAHAM, CRITTENDEN and
HALL, Of his Cabinet, so regarded it. We are
particularly glad that Mr.. GRAHAM and Mr.. |
CaTrENpEN, both Southern men, were Of the |
distinguished party. We are d!teays glad when |
intelligent Southern gentlemen visit the North.
We are always glad to notice the completion
of any Railroad, or any other road. which
tends to facilitate INSTRUMENTATION between
the Natth and the South. lNrERCoMMUNICA-
TON is ust what we want, for the removal Of
prejudices the correction Of erroneous Judge
ments, and the strengthening of "brutherly
love- between the different sections of the Un-
ion. The South needs to kno,o the North per-
sonally; and when it does, disunion is as i'm
pc ',ible as the Archimcdean fulcram Bring the
North and the South together. let them see and
hear and know each other, and buggy>
Wagon would hold all the disunionjStS there
would be in the Republic There is no "dan
ger to the Union that is not the result Of mis-
apprehension-and Railroads are fast removing
this danger. We rejoice to see the President
OF the United States, and his Cabinet, giving
! their presence and sanction TO honor the multi
pcaton of the beneIicent agencies that are
destined, by aiding to familiar,ze the widely
separated portions of this Cpnf.deracy with
each other, to riret the bonds o. our glorious
UNION. When such men as GRAHAM and CRIT
TENDEN come among Us, dangers to the intcg-
rlty of the Republic diminish.
Among the eloquent speeches made at
the reception of the President at Buffalo, none
strikes us as more eloquent and pertinent than
that of Senator DOUGLASS, of Illinois from which
we subjoin short extract, evidently poorly re-
ported, but evincing the right spir',-SEXAToR
