Year: 1867

dinner Gov. English escorted the President
Secretary Seward and Postmaster General
Randall to the. University where they spent
pleasant time. They visited the Yale
Institute of Fine Arts, where they exam
ined the paintings and statuary. Thence
attended by President Woolsey and Prof
Barter, they repaired to the library
While there the students assembled at the
door and called for the President. He
bowed and retired. They then called for
Seward with equal eagerness, who came
upon the porch, and was introduced by
Prof Woolsey, as being a Doctor of Law
of Yale College, The students loudly
cheered the announcement, and the Secre-
tary bowed and said: "Ad Eunden,' and
retired. The students determined Eot
TO be baf1ed, again clamored for the Pres,
ldent, which again brought him to the
porch. He addressed them in parenta,
and practical manner concerning their stud
les and aims and chances of life, in speech
of several minutes in length, after which
he retired amidst loud cheers. Like salu-
tations again brought Secretary Seward
| forward who said:


81 know, young gentlemen, that although
you are IN Connecticut. yet you know better
than to suppose public man is wooden
| clock that can have its speaking part go on
while its rotary machinery is totally run
| down. i cannot speak to you now further
than to thank you for this kind return to
the alma mater which you have adopted,
and which has adopted me, to bid sou God
speed in your studies, and prosperity and
success in life" Cheers


| The students then called out Postmaster
General Randall who said that he was a
plain man and would speak just what he
thought about Yale College He had con-
celved very unfavorable opinion Of it, for
the reason that as other Colleges turn out
and expel their worst members, Yale Col
lege is understood to have always turned
out the best of men. Laughter and cheersl


The students then divided in two lines
through which the President and Secretary
Seward passed and received a cordial shak
ing Of hands from the entire assembly,
The party then returned to the hotel at
tended by the President and Professor of
the Institution. Everybody was delighted
with the handsome manner in which the
hospitalities were dispensed, and, in the
! language Of the President, for the cordial
welcome extended. The party leave here
tonight at l. O'Clock on the boat for New
ork, and arrive in Jersey City in time to
take the train going south tomorrow
morning.


New York, June 2S.


The President and party arrived at Jer-
sey City by steamer from New Haven, at
half past six this morning, and breakfasted
at Taylor hotel, and took the train for the
tsouth. ---~- --.--.--


Trenton, N. j., june %.


A crowd at the depot cheered the presi-
dent as the train passed through. A tele-
gram was sent to Gov. Swami by the pres
ident, saying he would be governed by the
previous arrangements already made for
by invitation the members of the constitu-
tional convention.


Philadelphia, June %.
| The president and party passed south Of
this city at IL clock. The train only halt
nor any demonstrations.


Baltimore, June 2S.
The president was received at the depot
by Gov. Swami and mayor Chapman, and
was escorted to Barnum' S hall, where in
the presence Of an immense crowd was
welcomed to the city by ex- governor Brad
ford.


The president returned thanks and said
his reception in towns both north and south
had been of character which indicated an
era of good feeling and reconciliation be-
tween the two sections of the Union. Thank
God it is so. 1t is easy to apply the word
traitor to me, as some have done, but | de-
fly any man to put his finger or any great
principle of the constitution or liberty tha t
| have abandoned [ have held to the con-
stituton as palladium of our civil and re-
ligious liberty as the chief ark Of our safe
ty. He urged his hearers to cling to the
constitution, and said | have tried to dis
charge my duty, and may have committed
errors, but they have not been OF the
heart Now that an era Of good will had
commenced, let US forgive one another in a
spirit of charity, and i'll order to closer
fellowship. The president was repeatedly
cheered.


Secretary Seward was called for and
made some humorous remarks in reference
to the visit to Boston. The moral being
Bostonians put him in the third story Of a
hotel and made him speak louder to the
people on the street. He agreed with the
president, and the people down south have
be gun to find out the wind is not always as
sharp north as north east in the neighbCr-
hood of Cape Cod, nor is there pestilen-
tial sorocco consuming the people white or
black in the southern states, but there seems
to be an equalization of political atmos-
phere going on, and happily | perceive re-
sulting from the infusion Of an element
very little taken notice of heretofore in our
country, mean the adopted or naturalized
citizens. They told me down east of men
who could not consent to pay their respects
to the president, and could not look upon
his secretary without frown. So far as |
heard they were Of native birth in the east.
On the other hand, 1 will say this, that
there never was an adopted cousin of the
United States north, south, east or west,
that hesitated to acknowledge the authority
OF the nation in the chief magistrate. (Ap,
| pluse.( Again the more need any class
has of protection and care BY the govern.
, ,aent, whether for defense against foreign
enemies or intestine dangers; the humber
and lower that class may seem it will be
the last one which will fail to recognize iD
the chief magistrate Of the United States
the defender and maintainer Of the rights
and liberties of the whole American people
, (Cheers.) So | give to political philoso
piers also this farther instructions, that
