EV PRESIDENT FIJI MORE IN NEW 'hHk
Ii, we ne to rely on the account of Mr.. Fillmore
! think that it vas the grsndest and most enthusiastic
affair ever witnessed by the empire city; but on read
ing some other papers, it will be seen that this great
enthusiasm existed only in the brains OF the Express;
and az n proof we translate and present to our read
ers, the account given by another paper, whose edI-
Tor is q sincere aud diSintercs!cd admIrer of Mr.. Fill
more-we allude to the Courier dies Etats Unis-a
journal which our ~neighbor, the Wing, quotes as the
friend OF Mr.. Fillmore:
although Monday ought to have been allowed Mr..
Fillmore TO rest from the fatigue Of his voyage across
the Atlantic, the personal sympathy which he has in.
spircd among q great number of his fellow citizens
did not think & it improper to force all admission, and
the forenoon was spent in the reception OF visitors
among whom were Cummudo-c Perry, eX.Alayor
kingsIani, Mayor Wood, aud the Committees Of AL
derlneu and Cuunclmen.
About noon, however, Mr.. Fillmore, who, though
Il candidate for the Presidency, hos his own private
business to attend 10, escaped aud went %inruSnito
down town, whence he returned at five O'clock. In
tine course Of the evening, the crowd OF visitors re.
commenced.
yesterday the official aud public reception took
place. The procession began tn move about III O'Clock,
a. NJ, for the City Hall, through Broadway, Union
Square, Bowery aud Chatham street.
Mr.. Fillmore, III HI open barouche and four, fol.
lowed by a long file Of Know othinss without uni
form, but headed by music aud banners, bowed TO
the crowd with that expression OF benerolence which
is a characteristic OF his cuuntenauce. We are com-
PEELED, however, to confess that, notwithstanding Mr..
Fillmore's individual popularity, tho crowd, on his
passage, was remarkably cool. 4 few ladies waved
their haudkcrchicfs from windows q few men tried
hurrahs. which fell without an eciio. II We are 10

1.-The reception organised in New York, in honor of
Mr.. Willard Fillmore, vanished away without much
noise. The eI.President wiil leave to-day the empire
city for Albany and Buffalo, where, probably more
real aud warmer ovatiuns are awaiting him.
1T il impossible 10 DO mistaken rs 10 The true cha.
raots- 90 The demonstrations which have hailed the
arrival OF Mr.. Willard Fillmore. The party Of tine
Know Nothlngs nee sorked with feet and hands in
order to surround lis candidate with the noise OF
u false enthusiasm. But it has succeeded ouly in
showing its own weakness, and the little influence il
has on the population. Had the ex President merely
depended on his personal merit, he would. 10 doubt,
have bad an Infinitely more sympathetic reception,
Ioy he haze iGcOntes,ib!e rlgh;s 10 pubic esteem. But
his most sincere admirers have shruEk from the idea
of supporting the ma,Uuyrcs Of Know. Nu;hiu.ism.
MIR. Fillmore himself has done wrong 10 second, 10
hs has done, the show OF a party which caG BIT pre-.
pare his defeat. Ills attitude aud his speeches du-
ring the tree days lie has spent amongst Us might
make people be:.ye that ts assumes seriously the
par, Of the american ca.cl3ae. This is a mls!ake
that will cost him very dear if he s!hupld persevere in
it: his only chance Of victory is a candidacy which
calls upon the whole nation. AS a party man, he Is
ruined before kapi.- Courier dcs E!as Dnts, June
