ton of Republicans on horseback. On en-
tering the depot, Mayor Bigelow addressed
Mr.. President-elect-On behalf of the
Common Council and my fellow-citizens I
most cordially welcome you to our city, and
tender to you its hospitalities; | welcome
you, sir, on behalf of the citizens of the me-
tropolis of this State, in point of population
and trade, who have ever been loyal to the
Constitution, and maintained the integrity
of the Union, and who entertain the ardent
hope that your Administration will be pov-
prOpd nv that rUiodnuo apd
will be the means of transmitting the Con-
federated States as unit to your success
ors, and, through them, to the latest genera
ton.
Mr.. Lincoln, in low tone, but with em-
phasis, replied substantially as follows:
Mr. Mayor thank you for the reception
to your city, and would say in response, my
heart is sincely devoted to the work you de-
sire l should do; with my own ability can
not succeed without the sustenance of Di-
vine Providence, and of this great free,
happy and intelligent people, without that [
can not hope to succeed; with it can not
fail. Again return my thanks"
The President elect and committee were
then escorted to carriages, and driven to the
Cbestnut-street depot, q distance of one mile
through Broad-street, which was literally
thtonged with spectators, while every avail
able portion of the surrounding buildings
was occupied. Patriotic manifestations
were abundant.
The procession first formed in the face of
a cold and almst binding fall of snow, which,
however, soon subsided, and was succeeded
by genial sun, and bland spring-like at
mosphere, emblematic, it is hoped, of the
future Administration.
AS the train moved off, Mr.. Lincoln bowed
his Acknowledgements to the crowd from the
rear end of the car.
Notwithstanding the malicious posters,
spoken of yesterday, not single manifesta-
ton of disrespect was heard at any time, but
plenty of cheers were given for the Presi-
dent elect.
