Mr.. President, in behalf of the Com

bAny, have the honor to tender to you,
to tho members of your Cabinet, to the
distinguished officers of the army and
navy, and to the eminent gentlemen of
the diplomatic corps, cordial and
most emphatic welcome to our city.
With regard to yourself; sir, we beg
you to accept this welcome, not simply
AS mark of respect fer the high posi-
ton which you occupy AS Chief Magis-
trute of the nation, but as n tribute to
yourpersOnul worth, and as grateful
acknowledgement of your services to
tho country. We cannot forget how
earnestly you espOused the cause
of the Union Mt the outset Of
the late unhappy war, how zeal
Ously you devoted your mastery Obil-
tiles, your time and untiring energies
to its preservation; how nobly you
supported the administration of your
lnmented predecessor, and how, in the
dark hour of disaster, you stayed his
hands when they were heavy, and
cheered his heart when it was sad.
Since your elevation to the Presidency,
although responsibilities were thrown
were possible, than ever devOlVed upon
any of your predecessors, you have eX-
hibited the same fidelity to your official
obligations, the same patriotism, and
the same inCOrruptible integrity. In
offering you, therefore, this warm and
heartfelt greeting we discharge duty
which we owe alike to you and to
ourselves.
Trusting that, undor the blessing of
God, with the aid of the able advisors
who compose your Cabinet, your adj
miniStratiOn may result in the restora-
ton of perfect harmony and good feel
ing between the States, we will only
add, Long live the President! Forever
live the Union.
The President replied-Mr. Mayor,
thank you for what you have said, and
am in hopes that those thanks will
not be attributed to personal vanity.
The distinction which you have made
i'll welcoming me, is exceedingly graft
flying. You welcome me first rs the
Chief Magistrate of the nation, II dis
tinction of respect due to so exalted a
station, and then in the most accepta-
