 Iveiinsd the Presidenshal party at Laois vile, and glad am, that did t at that pint His Imperial Serenity he'd bin. pleased ieyel sence he Jeff Chicago, or rather sence he go near St Loois, for two-thirds ~uv Illinois w1z pizen and Indianapolis .wuz pisoner From St Loois the recepshans wuz troolS eorjet and enthusiastic. We got out uy tbe region uv aristocrats and he'd come down to the hard yomanry. I seed holes thro the hats uy men seed wat mite be- called the flap uv Democ risy, wavin from behind em, which, ez they generally either had no coats at all. or if any they were roundabouts, wuz alfus in view. saw wimen who disdained stockins and dip. ped snuff, andl felt at home. I wuz among Democracy The cheerin for Grant and Far ragut closed ez we get into them regions and uv the vocifcrous crowds half uv em, the younger ones, cheered Andrew Johnson, while the old veterans, them whose noses wuz bos- somin for the tomb, cheered for Andrew Jack son. n His Serenity smliingly acknowledged both, by maxim g, speech to, sm1 and wavin his hat,a.ar. ,.,.-g-. ndx a. ..4s.. o,n44 e-.-.-f .

 L0uisDalte-There wuz a mag ni6ceut dem- onstration here. His Imperial Majesty who wuz in eggslent condition to make crowds larg enough, remarked to me as we wuz ridin through the streets ;-'Splen 'splay TMor'n ten 'upder sousand people-mor'n ten million people, morn ten 'uDerd million people, ,A morn ten 'unerd sosen million people e-and alluvnm 'sporters my policy. 'Rah for mer
 His Majesty undoubtedly eggsagerated tow ards the last; but it is. safe to put the crowd down at a good many. That estimate is en. trely safe. Tber wuz the finest display uv banners and sich hey seen sence we startid The red white and red wuz displayed from al most half the houses, ladies waved their hand kerchiefs ,ez we psssed, and men cheered. .o.
 There wuz g large perceshen and great va riety of banners. Among the most noticeable wuz company nv solgers uv the late war each with leg off, dressed iu the gray uniform into which they he'd ben mustered out, with this lnotto-'we are wiliin to go the other leg for A Jobnson.' Another company uv solgers who he'd each lost an arm, carried this inscrip- shen, wat ws didn't get by bullets, we shel get by ballots. '1'i'"+ 's, 9' 19''@ '-.@ The President cut down his speech fest one half herein swingin' around the cirkle he omitted to menshen that he, found traitors on the Southern side uv it., But he left the cons in their hands cheerfplly. .,fal .s.g CincinGts.-A very enthoosiastlc recepshun -continyood and loud cheers for Grant, which the President acknowledged. "A unsophisca- ted Postmaster, who jined us here, wanted to know why the people cheered for Grant instia' of the President, ,. to which2 his fHighness afl- swered that they wuz considrit-they knew bis modesty and wanted to spare his bfushes. Another man, who was also unsophiscated, as- ked him, confdenshelly. if ,he'dlda't think there wuz a samenis in his speeches. and if he didn't. think he'd do better to give a greater variety. His Eggslency ask him how there cood be greater variety. At Cincin- ati, sed he, I observed the following order 1:

 And so on. Its susceptible uv many chang ss. thot uv that when I writ that speech, md divided it into sections on purpose
 Baltimore. re.--There wuz a spontaneous re- :epshun here, which wuz gratifying to ns.--- The perceshun wuz immense: and the notices expressive. One division wuz headed by the dentikll indivijool who fired the first shot at he Massachusetts men in lS6ki He s an ar- lent supporter uv President Johnson's policy.

 At last we arrived at Washington, hevin wupg entirely around the cirkle and found raitors North and South. The demonstra- ion,to greet the President wuz immense. The Jerks in all she departments wuz out, lat least hem ez wuznt will wish they he'd ben; ez their ,ames wuz all taken), the solgers on dooty vuz ordered out, and altogether it wuz the most spontaneous exhibition I ever wltnest = he Mayor made speech. The President Isked :--If he wuzn Joodis Iskariot who wuz he Savior told him he had swung around the 'ntire cirkle and he'd found traitors on all sides lv it, though since he left Cleveland, Chicago md Indianapolis. he wuz satisfied there waz he hsf. uv em in the North, but be this ez. it nay, he left the constitooshn and the thirty ix States, and the 36 stars onto it in his. lands. He he'd ben Alderman uv his native 'illage, and congressman, and United States Senator, and President, and wich latter he considered forchinit, but wuz 'fter all, an Humble, Indigijile. He didn't eel his oats much, and wood do hls dooty gin traitors north ezr we'll ez agin his misguid- d friends south. .oai }o E:ss z ,usE
