RoME--Here we had a splendid re-
cepshun, and [ never heard His Majesty
speak more felicitously. He meusauIed
to the audience that he had swung around
the Southern side Nv the cirkle and wuz
now swingin around the Northern side Nv
it, and that he wuz fghtin traitors on all
sides. He left the Constitooshun iD their

post offs, which took ez bad omen for
the comm election.
UTICA.-The President spoke here with
greater warmth and jerked more original

trodoosed here the remark that he didn't

At Cleveland we begun to get into hot
water. Here is the post to which the
devil Nv Ablishnism is chained, and his

over nearly the whole State. I am pained
to state that the President wuznt treated

He commenced deliverin mis- speech, but
