THE INVITATION To THE PRESIDENT AND HIS

mittec appointed by mass meeting held on the capitol
Square for the purpose of inviting the President OF the
United States and s Cabinet to visit this city and par
take of its hospitalties proceeded to Washington on
Saturday the I'd instant. and the Monday morning
following called at the Department Of State on that
patriot and greatest Of statesmen, the Hon. William H.
Seward Marred and SCARED as he was by the assas-
sins knife he received me in most cordial and fiat
tering manner and after reading his invitation de-
sired me to accompany him the next day at IL O'clock
to be introduced TO the President and Cabinet To this
readily sceeded. My reception by them was In the
highest degree cordial and dignhed My interview
with the President necessarily short, but highly
gratifying he regarded me rs coming to him with
heart true TO the South and my whole country repre-
senting those of similar feelings.
The invitation with which was charged gave him
manifest pleasure. and he expressed both desire and
intention to visit Virginia, also his native good old
North State when the and his public duties will
admit Of 1t. These two States especially, he said.
should have remained In the Union and were not q
think he said fairly carried ont Of it,
lie spoke with much feeling in relation to the un.
happy situation of Richmond and Of the condition OF
the South generally, which think be will help as much
as circum stances will allow Take him all in all, do
not believe any proud monarch Of Europe whose race
of Kings BY "dlyine right" has hourshed thousand
years Of time has clearer conception Of his duties and
knows better how to temper justice with mercy than
| Andrew johnson OF Tennessee.
From my interview with the President drew the
most cheering auguries. II impressed me with con-
yicon that the South will find IN him friend and pro-
tector if she will up to his requirements cheer
FULLY and accept with true hearts the terms Of
struction offered. With voice and one heart we
will greet his coming to this old Commonwealth with
joyous welcome. Most respectfully. yonr fellow citi.
zen, CHARLES palmer.
