NEw YoRx, August 29.-The Presiden-
tial party arrived in Jersey City at a little
past n this afternoon. They were re-
ceived by Mayor Hoffman, members of the
Common Council and the city military.
The Mayor made a brief speech of well
come, which was briefly responded to.
The procession moved to the City Hall
where, in the Governors room, the for
NAL reception took place. Subsequently
there was q review Of the military by
President Johnson, when an immense pro-
cession passed through Broadway to Del
monico's, where at six o'clock there will
be a grand banquet.
Broadway and all public and many pri-
vate residences, and all foreign and do
mestic shipping were gaily decorated with
flags and streamers; and larger crowds Of
people are in the streets than were seen
on the arrival Of the remains Of the late
President Lincoln. Thus far all has gone
smoothly, the weather being propitious'

be sersnaded in front of Delmonico's, and
il not too weary will make IN address.
Mayor Hoffman, in his welcome to the
President, at the City Hall, said:
The city of New York which now
greets you has never faltered In its devo-
tom to the Union and Constitution, and
never will. 1t is the metropolis of the
country, and when it speaks it does not
speak in whispers nor other uncertain
sounds. 1t speaks to-day and I trust this
great demonstration in which capital and
labor have both united will cheer your
heart and strengthen your hands in the
great work Of peace and restoration in
which you are engaged. I will detain
you no longer. The people are impatient
to greet you. Their actions will speak
more eloquently than mere words. ! beg
your acceptance Of this engrossed copy of
the resolutions of the Common Council,
and with them extend to you the hospi-
talities Of the city.
The President, in a voice evidently at
fec.ed by emotion, said:
To make reply to what you have just
given utterance, under the circumstances
would be more than I could undertake.
1 am overwhelmed by the reception You
have accorded to me. Applause. Lam
guage is inadequate to give expression to
my feelings. I accept your invitation,
and now you will in return accept my
most sincere and heartfelt thanks. Such
an invitation from this great metropolis
ought to encourage, and it does encourage
me, in the faithful discharge Of my duty.
CHEERS. 1t is peculiarly acceptable at
this time; fresh as we are from the battle
field. But there is a still greater battle
before US. (Cheers.1 In reference to
what I have done, it is before you, and it
is for you to determine what my conduct
has been. [Applause.l In conclusion,
let silence speak for me what I ought to
say and what I intend to do. TCheers.
In accepting these resolutions, accompa-
MED by sentiments so gracefully uttered, ]
again return You my sincere thanks.
At the conclusion of the Presidents re-
marks, he was greeted with three times
three cheers.
Loud calls were then made for Secretary
Seward, who said:
feel that I am at home, and I thank
you for the welcome you have extended,
IApplause.l feel more than that, for ]
have brought with me to your and my
home the President Of the United States.
CHEERS. United by the arms Of our he
roes, by the virtues Of our citizens, and by
the wisdom and energy Of our Chief Mag
~istrate, if anything is wanting, it is the
certificate which we look for at the COM
ing polls to bear US out in Jul opinions
that the United States should consist Of
thirty-six and not Of twenty-five States.
[Great applause. In the city and State
Of New York the people should be faith
full, first, to their wives, then to their chill
dren. then to their city and State, and
then to the country. To this duty I ad-
here, and If persons were to interfere with
me in faithfully carrying out this principle
I could overbalance them, and still be
faithful to the country. (Great cheering.
After this address, the Mayor presented
the city officials and citizens, which cere-
mony continued for about an hour. The
procession Of the party up Broadway was
q magnificent ovation. Every available
space was occupied by the assembled
thousands. Bouquets were showered
down by hundreds. The cheers which
greeted General Grant and Admiral Farra-
gut were especially noticeable.
On arriving a. Delmonico's, the party
reviewed a division Of troops. The Pres
ident was called upon to speak, but de-
clined to make a speech, saying that none
was needed after the demonstration which
has been made to-day. al leave the Con-
stitution and Union in your hands"
