AID. BRIses' ADDRESS.
Mr.. FmLKoRE-In the name of New York and
of this nation, L welcome you TO your native
shores. Your countrymen have watched your
pilgrimage through the European States with
Intense sOiicitude, fearing that those natural ca
lamitiss always impending over the living might
deprive them Of your valuable life, and over
whelm yonr country with universal sorrow, and
In CONGRATULATE yourself aud your kindred thlt
you have passed the dangers of land and sea,
and have returned in health and happiness to
YOUR native land; and above all. | rejoice that
you will soon return to the White House, to re-
move the ycrmin that have gathered there, dur
ing your unfortunate absence from the national
helm. Our country is blessed with all the eli
mates and productions of nature, and with free
institutions; and the Americans kindlc fires of
Liberty and union in every vale and on every
hill, on you safe return to again bless us with
an administration that will enforce respect and
obedience to our glorious flag wherever it waves.
and restore unity and tranquility and content
ment to the f1rthest frontiers of our beloved
country.

New York ICheeringl l am proud to "
