In proposing these resolutions, (says the Bal
timore Patriot,) Mr.. Poe said he had attended
this meeting, contrary to his habit, for the pur
pose Of manifesting his sincere and cordial re-
spect for the President Of the United States.
OF the present President Of the United States
it might be truly said, not only that the office
he filled was high one, but that he was
great in his high office" He was coming
into our midst, not from any field of conquest,
with an exultant army in front and captive vic
TINS in the rear; but he was upon mission of
peace, passing through the established marts of
traffic, to distinguish by his presence the open
ing of new avenue upon which trade, the
calm health of nations, might find new outlets
and new facilities.
Let us Isaid Mr.. P.) meet him when he
comes among u.s. let us assure him of our high
respect for his personal and public character,
and let us give him to understand that IT, as
God forbid, the time shall come when he will
need our aid for the maintenance of the lust
faculties OF his office, we will sustain and ad-
here to him with our lives and fortunes.
In Philadelphia the City Councils have ap-
pointed joint special committee Of three for
each chamber to make all necessary arrange
ments for the becoming reception and enter
tainmcnt of the Chief Magistrate. The COM
mittee consists of Messrs. Morris, Wetherill,
Waterman, Trucks, Wickesham Harker, and
Mentz. President FILLMORE" (says the In
quirer) sis entitled to the respect, the esteem,
and the confidence Of his countrymen He
has, since the duties Of the Executive Of
hce devolved upon him, manifested the
highest, noblest, and most patriotic quail
ties, and exhibited fidelity to the Union, the
Constitution, and to the Laws, which have
endeared him to all, without regard to party
politics, who cherish the nation and its in
situations. In Philadelphia he has troops of
warm and enthusiastic friends; and although
his stay among us will necessarily be brief.
his arrival will, no doubt, animate the popular
mind and rouse the popular heart, and prove,
by spontaneous manifestation of cordial wei
come and ardent feeling, that his unwaverinp
devotion to the Union % duly appreciated
