THE PRESIDENT AT SYRACUSE.

THE PRESIDENT AT SYRACUSE.
The PRESIDENTS reception at Syracuse (says
the New York Commercial Advertiser) was re-
petition of the cordial welcome he and his CABINET
have received every where upon their tour. We
cannot spare for account of the procession,
speeches, &c. Suffice it to say, that patriotism
and love of the Union have every where prevail
ed over political or sectional distinctions, and the
people every where have evinced spirit and dis
position that very plainly indicate that the indisso-
lubity of the Union may be very safely left in
their hands. The People have formed themselves
into mighty Union Safety Committee and all
minor and local organizations may very properly
retire from the field and leave their duties to be
gorousy and satisfactorily performed by the sove.
reigns themselves. Not the shadow of a shade OF
Dsunionism has fitted across the progress of our
good WIG PRESIDENT and his CABINET, but every
where the noble, patriotic, national sentiments
which he and they have uttered have been received
with unanimous cheering and applause
We cannot omit this opportunity (the Advertiser
adds) of saying that every where the Secretary OF
the Navy, Mr.. GRAHAM) before but little known
in this section Of the country, has won the esteem
and confidence of the people; and we happen to
know that the evidences of enterprise, shown along
the entire route Of the Erie railroad, equally ex-
linian, with North Carolinian education, ne was
perhaps scarcely prepared for what ne saw, but
through him the citizens of his own State will hear
favorable accounts of the Empire State. The
warmth of his reception by the people deservedly
increased at every stage of his progress, and we
find that at Syracuse he made speech OF some
length, which was very cordially received, and
which shows that he felt himself perfectly at home
among the people, and felt common interest with
them. Altogether the Erie Railroad Celebration
was the setting of ball in motion for good, of
which the effects cannot be calculated.

national responses to the congregaed treason which from time

State by bad and noisy citizens. 1t seemed was night

when o'clock the short line of march over

country in the past days Of his Administration, and that

handsomely addressed him. aud all who could hear him, that
the North could expect justice from the South and
good feeling from the South, unless fulfilled all it's consu

and outraged town do approve Of the Compromise and
ready thank the President for the bold and manly way in
which he has stood by the Constitution, and for the impartial
in which his Administration has dispensed justice
