Worcester daily spy., 1851-05-16

President Fillmore and the Secretary Of State, be-
sides the three lesser lights of the Cabinet, whom it
is needless to name, deported themselves very hand
somelv, according to all the Hunker presses, in the
royal game of goose, which came of at Castle Gar
eu, New York, on their arrival in that city on the
1SIh inst. What cheering there was how the
President bowed how grimly and proudly Daniel,
the grand incarnation Of Wall street scrip, smiled
and how handsome the Wing Central Committee
looked, with their white gloves and how smart the
Whig Young men appeared with their badges, ban
ners, and other insignia. Altogether it was great
thing, according to the Commercial Advertiser; it
was great for the display of Union eloquence, of Al
dermanic paunches, Of political fiunkeys, of Hunkers
aud Doughfaces, and Of repubhcansm tricked out in
the rags ofroyalty.
In the days when pure republcanism was respec-
table in the United States, it was axiom amongst
our people that vrtuous simplicity was the basis of
true dignity. Towewigs and ermne tails were not
esteemed necessary to render the vocation OF our
judges aweinspring and nobody believed that the
station of first magistrate, which George Washing
ton and Thomas Jefferson filled, would be exalted
by either of them, covering his grey hairs with a
barbaric crown, or wrapping his shoulders in a
purple petticoat; and certainly it would not have
been accounted very dignifed in any of our early
Presidents fussing round la Louis Napoleon,
counting the appliances of their partizans and the
homage of the tOades whom political accident
had cast down at their feet in worship.
The reception of the Fugitive Law President at
New York, last Tuesday, was certainly royalty
rich affair, no matter how we view it. The ad-
dress of Mayor Kingsland was rich the reply Of
Millard Fillmore richer; and the richest speech
of all was that of Daniel
When the President arrived at Castle Garden
Mayor Kngsland officially met him, and in the fol.
lowing words informed him that
SIT is not many months Il believe it is hardly
Year, since you were last on New York ground
You left then, not private citizen, but in hon.
Orable otfice,-an office second to but one in
America.
BY the act of God, in removing a venerable pat
riot and hero,-whose death you as well anc
the whole nation yet lament,-yo have since beer
elevated from that second station to the highest
the Government of the United States.'
President Fillmore was Of course grateful for th.
information, and in the funess of his heart thanked
his fellow citizens for letting him know it, and thel
he declared that New York was 'sconsecratee
ground
Daniel Webster was then called out, and spok,
of President Fillmore's ssdevoton to the Union
the peace, harmony, stability and perpetuity of tn,
Union and the Constitution and then wound VI
with one of his usual geographical and natural hsto
ry perorations, which always bring down cheers.
tGentlemen-In making progress from the Sout
to Lake Erie, we have come, as everybody mus
come. who is bound Northward or Eastward, to tn
city Of New York. We must pass through it, an
we must breathe its air. For many months it ha
been air which have delighted TO breathe.
is patriotic atmosphere. Constitutional breeze
fan every day, andte thousand flowers of patriot
ie feeling, of national hopes and national purpose;
spring up and flourish beneath its balIny influence
Everybody that loves the Union, loves to come
New York. In that respect, gentlemen, your mag
ni6cent city is
"-a loadstar, and its breath sweet air."
And SO may it ever be.
Daniel certainly thinking Of the money boxe
in Wall street, then.
General Crittenden then made speech, in whic
he called law liberty, meaning the Fugitive Slav
law, OF course, and he had scarcely sat down, whe
MAJOR General Sandford appeared, and addressir
the President, said,
Sir--Fiye thousand citizen soldiers of New Yorl
organized TO defend the Union and the laws, al
drawn up on the Battery, waiting to receive you
Commander in Chief Of the Army and Navy Of th
United States. ttS3
The President and suite then proceeded to th
Battery, where the troops were reviewed by Ger
Wool. M n
A procession through the streets of New York
and the embarkation Of his Majesty and his suite, a
half past O'Clock P. M. completed the affair."
And seriously, what was this demonstration Of tn
executive of the United States at New York, fello,
citizens? Was il not declaration by Mlard Fill
more, Daniel Webster. &c. that they should exel
else all their personal and official influence an
power, to humble the freemen of the North befol
the shareholders Of the South and Of the money dea
Of the great maritime cities! Was it not an e.
preston Of approval by the wings Of New York cit
of the Fugitive Slave law and of that treason to Il
laws which has, for gold, been perpetrated by IL
unblushing stipendiary of brokers' and bankers'-
How coincident, in all respects, has been this pr
gress Of Fillmore, with that Of Louis Napoleon al
how much of the assumption, egotism and barbara
Of royalty have each exhibited
