New York, May ID, 1851.
The Presidents tour has been very sue
cessful thus far, and the military and civic
display quite dazzling. Ten regiments form
ed the presidential escort, and finer. and
bettcr-looking set of men 1T was never my
good Fortune to behold anywhere. There
was great cheering ali round; but as in
Philadelphia, the great cheering was for
Daniel Wcbster-say in the ratio of five tn
one, speaking within bounds. There is no
mistaking the fact that, as the Co,aprooisc.
started by Cass, Foote, Douglas, Bright, &C.,
IS the true cause of the present popularity Of
the administration, Rr. Webster. who has
done SO much more toward it than Mr.. Fill.
more, and without whose powerful co-opera-
ton the bills would have never reached Mr.
Fillmore, must come in for a LARGER share q
the popular applause than the President.
There IS nothing mOrtifyiIg to Mr. FILLMORE

shappily to-day, when saying that these honors
