The President.


Pierce had leii his home. aud was on his
way 10 the seat of Government. where we
presume he has arrived ere this. AT such
time, says the Pennsylvania. and in
view OF all the circumstances which have
contributed to his late triumphant eleva.
tion. il is most natural that the people
should feel II great aud earnest anxiety TO
greet him and shake his hand during his
journey. Had circumstances permitted
he would have met, during his passage,
with the most hearty and Joyous demon
stration ever before witnessed in this
country, but it is right and proper that all
such manifestations should now be sup.
pressed.
The late unhappy caiastrophe-!he del.
icate health OF his eslimable partner, and
his own worn out physical condition. all
make an argument. which in the fullest
degree. just6es him in his desire 10 avoid
ceremony and parade. The good citizen
will estimate correctly the npives of the
President rtjrciing til ,se public displays.
aud proper regard for his own feelings.
would indicate an absence from all ob,ru.
sive attentions.
lie goes into the Executive Chair with
the warm wishes and hopes OF his party
clustering around his pathway. H. car.
ries within his own individual will the well
fare and prosperity Of millions. and
strange to say. he is regarded by all par
ties with trust and a confidence which,
to man of his generous frank and warm.
hearted characteristics, must be in the
fullest degree cheering and gratifying.
The New York Mirror, a wing paper
saws:
Such progress as Gen Pierce il ma.
king 10 Washington is more triumphant
than II journey through garlanded arches
and amid the bravos of the crowd II is
a triumph for the sovereign people. each
of waom is elevated by this confident re-.
pose of IA President elect on his republican
citizenship. from which greater than Kings
or Enprrors are made.
Gen Pierce comes of the right sort Of
stock. Ills New England education, hah.
its and surroundings. have been OF the
kind TO inspire regard. manifest in all
his life, for just landmarks aud reputable
traditions He will take hold OF the Ma.
tional helm with firm hand. having the
chart of precedence. experience. and wise
counsel before him. Since his election
he has had plentiful opportunity to feel the
Republic. to know the sentiments oil the
people, and weigh well the emergencies
upon which he may be called upon to act
The way lies open and clear before him.
The country is at peace within aud without.
The patriotic sense of tho people in regard
to tho integrity of the Union, was never

Of all, irrespective Of party. to the end
that he may give US an energetic. wise
and firm administration. Drawing to his
chief council only those who love The glo.
ry and prosperity Of the Union above all
