ta and its fame,
In it my fathers lived and died-I hope to
do the same.
I've heard Of foreign countries which are
very fair to see,
But this, dear old America, is fair enough
for me;
And he that on its happy soil is not content
to etay,
May leave it when he likes, and find bet
ter where he may.
We may not have the mountains which
some other lands may show.
Theirsides adorned with vineyards and their
submits crowned with snow;
We may not boust the grandeur or the mel
ancholy grace,
Which tells Of rime's destroying hand or
wars terrific race;
Butwe have fertile valleys we have hills and
dales and dells
Where peace and plenty smile around, and
sweet conteutment dwells;
And we have cliffs that beetle DER end bat
tie with the spray
Of q thousand waves that roll around shore
t8 as free as they.
There's not sea that on its breast hostile
feet can bear,
But our fair flag is seen to fort in stern de
fance there;
There's not land in East or West, but ecll.

kEILBR's LIVING ILLusfRArIoNs.-This
company, whose advent in our country has
been attended with remarkable success and
effect, commence their engagement at the Ma
tional Theatre on Monday. The performances
OF these art,sts-in which the most celebrated
works OF painting and sculpture, and the prom
inent events Of sacred, NEUROLOGICAL and mod.
ern history are illustrated in tableaux and
dramatic action-differ 30 delightfully."- from
| anything ever presented in this country, and
| are described by the leading newspaper presses
| OF every city in which they have appeared as
being SO marvellously beautiful, that 1t is but
reasonable to presume our discerning citizens
will equally participate in the refined enjoy
ment peculiar to these representations. A
dramatic corps and orchestra cooperate with
| them.
MArRIMoNIAL.-Bya apple alton to the good
| looking and gentlemanly eficial-Mr Charles
McNamee-who dispenses the marriage IL
censes at the City Hall to signing swains, we
learn that the number Of licenses obtained for
the month OF September was sixty-seven.
This is an improvement on the month of
August, during which ffty-nin were issued.
In July but fifty two licenses were taken out.
One pleasant day last week mine brave men
marched boldly up to the matrimonial rack,
ana secured the requisite documents for be.
coming flesh Of one flesh with their Dulcineas.

The President st Homa.

CONCORD, N. H Oct. 2-The reception Civ
Ell tho President to-day surpassed in magni-
tude and grandeur any thing before known in
New England. The day by its clear sky was
most aupicious. Fifteen hundred persons
were present from Boston ard Bunker Hill,
and great number from Maine and Vermont.
The Amoskesg Veterans, in full ranks met the
President at the line Of his native State and
escorted him. The enthHSiasm along the route
to Concord was uneXampled. More than forty
thousand citizens were on the ground TO well
come his arrival, and the scene closed by q
noble address Of reception from Col John III
George, to which the President replied in an
eloquent address, which stirred all hearts dur
ing its delivery: Old men wept like children.
CONCORD, October 3 -Yesterday, the Pres :
dent, in response to Col j. II George, assured
the friends of his youth and maturity that he
appreciated this evidence Of their regard. lie
had no new sentiments On political topics,
and, therefore, nothing to Justify or explain.
He had followed his established opinions, re-
lying upon the judgment of his country men
for approval of his acts Whether this expec-
tation would be realized, when the present
party strife bad passed, or not, he was sure
that none Of the citizens Of his own State
would doubt that high patriotic motives had
actuated him. 1t was lamentable to admit,
that, when at peace with all foreign powers,
there should be sectional spirit in the land
threatening to disturb the Union He depre-
Gated whatever was calculated TO excite con-
tentions between the different sections, and
desired to see passion and prejudice give way
| to calm judgment and patriotism. He con-
jured the citizens of New Hampshire the re-
member the obligations resting upon them for
| the future welfare Of the country, and to be
sure if the experiment of self-goveTnment can
not succeed under this Constitution, it is hope
less under any other form
He felt cheered to be once again on the soil
| of his native State, and be received net mere
| ly as President but as a companion and friend
:" You, at least, will in future, as in the past,
| he said, - breast the storm of faction, blow
| whence and when it may. You, at least, will
scornfully reject every false idol Of sectional
| prejudice to which misguided men may cal
upon you to worship, AMI unerringly adhere
| to the sublime creed of 'One Union, one Con
| stitution, and one God The spirit Of love
has not been chased away by the demon Of
Hate"
| In conclusion, he renewed the expres sion o.
thanks and interest in their welfare, claiming
| to be their brother
