NASBY'S ACCOUNT OF THE PRESI
 DENTS VISIT TO BOSTON.

NASBY's ACCOUNT OF THE PRESI- DENTS VISIT TO BOSTON. Nasby's letter to the Toledo Blade gives an account of "A. J.'s visit to Boston, and in it he gives an inside view of some matters which escaped the Boston report CTS, Governor Bullock's ''principles ras- slin back holt with his politeness' is very good-about as good as Nasby's acting as ! ''litenin rod'' at Detroit to protect the taking the President through Delaware, Noo Gersey, and Noo York, they came to Boston, and thus Nasby proceeds:
 1 ''Arrivin in Boston, wuz surprised at i the length, depth and bredth of the en- thoosiasm wich greeted us. Ez eff to show their greef at the death uv Presidents, we notlst everywhere the portraits nv our pre- decessor Linken, draped in mournin,. at wlch the President dropt a tear, sayin ''See how they mourn us wen we're ever 1astlngly gone!' There wuz sort of sub- dooed enthoosiasm, kind uv half mourn in gladnls, ef may say so, wich wuz grat- ifyin.
 We wuz receeved by Gov Bullock, whose 1 speech wuz noble triboot to the Presi- dent. ''I welcome yoo," said he ito Mas sachoosits. Many Presidents hev visited 1 Moo England, and this visit like theirn, excites devoshen to the Yoonion and re- speck for them wich, in their ofishel po- sishen, respeck the government of the whole country. Our desire is to manifest our regard for those who, in offishel capacity, respeck the Nashnel Yoonion, wich is to say, we respeck the Nashnel Yoonion. I trust the President will stay long enuff to enable us to manifest our high regard for (here the Presidents face was frightened up) your offs! (the President turned fright fully red, wich Bullock, whose principles wuz 8 rasslin back holt with his polite ness, and he added) and to you person ally!'
 ''Ez them last words ishooed lowly and despfltly, the Presidents face lighted up. He woodent undertake to conceal emoshens wlch agltated him at this personal vel come upon the soil of Massachusetts. It wuznt necessary for him to go into the histry nv Massachusetts ez he wuz in the habit uv doin further South ez those be- fore him wuz probably ez familyer with it ez he wuz, but he would ashoor them, for their encouragement that the histry uv Massachusetts in conneckshun with the hlstry uv these States, hez become part uv the hlstry uv the country, and there fore in vlsitin Massachusetts under such pecooilar circumstances, 1t is pecooliarly gratlfyln to receive such welcome. In regard to your remarks techin the preser- vashen uv these States, I trust I may say without egotism, vice wich hev never been accused uv, and from wich I may say no one is more singlerly free from than myself, yield to no patriot Twin or dead In my devoshen to that purpose.
 :" dislike speekin. ez I can trooly say that l am not loquashus, but when trooth, wich love, and the coz of humanity, ,wich l tie to, is at the stake, I hev spoke I may say without egotism that I live for principle, and l thank the people of Mas sachoosits wich my visit has drawed to Boston for the outburst nv regard wich greets me. Without egotism may say it's outburst ekalled by few and excelled by none ever given President in the Yooni- ted States or elsewhere, and it is my pray CT that comin in contact with me may do | the people uv Boston good Yoor remarks, not referrin direckly to me, on the Rooshn purchase and more economical collection uv the internal revnue, also meets my cor Jel approbashen, loving ez do my com mon country
 Randall pulled at his coat tale when the President remarkt that he might say with out egotism that he didn't desire to make speech, and stopt, We brought him off in comparatively good order.
 We stop at the Fremont House. It is a good hotel, and the walters ez they ought to be: When we retired, the President in- sisted that shood sleep lyin across the doorway uv his room.
