General Taylor—Ills Receptions.
The Phifadclphia Daily News pub
lishes the following incidents, among
others, attending the progress of the
President on his Northern tour:
The President having passed tl.<
night uncomfortably, was out early on
yesterday, pacing the spacious court
yard, at Coverly’s in Harrisburg, and
mingling with the people in the silling
room. II.s manner was so easy, his
bearing so free from ostentation, and
his countcnuncc so expressive of warm
feeling, that the crowd, both old and
young, gathered about him, and
down in torrents, the crowd which had
assembled both in - the hotel and out
side was most dense, occupying aft the
square in front and presentingan. un
broken surface of weljiats arid dripping
umbrellas. The house where the Pres
ident was slaying was crowded in eve
ry part;
women and children
were a’.l mixed up in strange confu
sion—some unable to ■ gain admission
in consequence of the crowd, and some
wailing for the third or fourth interview.
Those who "could not get a sight of
the Gen., in the simplicity and curiosity
of their hearts, requested that the room
in which he slept might be thrown open,
that they might see his baggage, or his
pilot cloih overcoat which still had the
powder of Buena Vista upon it—any
thing else that the General had touched
would be a favor to see.
Eleven o’clock was the hour named
by the President for his departure.—
The coach, which had been furnished
expressly for the occasion, was at the
door, and pnnctual to a moment as he
always is. General Taylor descended,
steppingihroughthe crowd, biding them
“ good bye!’ and “ God bless you.”—
The rain continued to pour down, but
the boys gathered round the General
shaking him by the hand with all the
warmth and ardor of youthful affection,
which was returned with all the sin
cority of an overflowing heart. Hi
dreds were crowded about the carria;
each striving 10 have ihe last parting
word, as if it were the long, last farewell
of a dearest friend.
At length the crowd opened right and
left,and the coach rolled away at a brisk

Znch; and ns lie turned to go, he said,
“ God bless you, Giueral ; and may yer

In reply to some remark to a Com
mittee from Carlisle, Gen. Taylor
said :—
That having spent forty years of
his life in the field and on the frontier,
in the service of his country, he was not
familiar with the details of all the great
measures that had agitated the country
—that lid had so stated to the people
long before he was elected, and that in
nothing bail he deceived them. “But,”
he added, “ as the people have seen fit
to place me in the high position which
I now occupy, I have determined to
serve them to the fullest extent of my
ability.
On the route to Carlisle, the cars stop
ped for a few minutes at Mechanicsvillc,
where a crowd gathered around them to
get n view of the General. A plain and
honest looking farmer, who had been
eyeing the President closely for some
minutes from the outside, having attract-
ed the President’s attention, sung out,
“General Taylor, if you’ll only dons
well at Washington as you did at Buena
Vista, we shall be satisfied.” The Pres
ident responded, warmly taking him by
the hand, saying that he should do all
in his power for the people.
At Carlisle there was an immense
crowd to meet the President on his ar
rival, and the shouts which greeted him
were almost deafening. The carriage
containing the President and Gov. John
ston drove up to the Court House,
which was appointed for lire reception.
An eloquent address xvas delivered by
Judge Watts, und the President replied
in a short but eloquent speech, full of
feeling. He referred to the fact , that
verv many of his most intimate com
panions in arms were natives of Carlisle
and the Cumberland valley; that he easy, pi
had himself been stationed there many
years ago; had become familiar with
its history, and entertained a warm feel
ing of attachment to its people. He
had formed high expectations of their
literary character, their hospitality and
strength—more formidable and effectu
al against the encroachments of anarchy
and tyranny, than all the cannons of
Waterloo, or the soldiers of Napoleon.
Education, he said was the bulwurk of
American liberty, and the country
school-house the arsenal from which the
cause of Freedom must ever draw her
supplies. These ore sentiments worthy
of a Washington, Hancock, Adams, or
any of the founders of the republic.
Slopping at a small settlement on the
road, the President alighted, and enter
ed the tavern, which were gathered all
the rainy day population of the place.
They were rough but honest men, in
their shirt sleeves and aprons; und, as
sured by the open countenance of the
General, they gathered around him,
and talked with freedom and familiari
ty. Stepping up to a somewhat better
dressed man than the others, whose ap
pearance indicated that he might be a
sort of a village factotum, and who stood
aloof until now, the President extended
his hahd, but met no response. The
man was in a dilem ton. The General
looked, and the crowd wondered. The
man said finally in an under t<
he was really sorry from the bottom of
his soul—“ General 1 am a democrat,
and I voted against you !” Snatching
his hand, the President said : “ Is that
all ? I never inquire about that. I am 1
as glad to meet you as any man in the |

which the high position to which you
have called me, and which I did not
seek, have imposed. That one purpose

part, as you well know, and I am, here
and elsewhere, the President of the
whole people, and not of a party. I

Au Incident at Pittsburg.
We were amused wiih the spirit of a
passage between Gen. Taylor and some
ragged little urchins as the reception
cortege was passing through the Fifth
Ward.
Half a dozen ragged but merry little
uiai ro S ues were eagerly speculating as to
.. 1 the identity of the great hero of Bi
.Viatn. Monternv. and that hnd “kr

pie and not of a party. I did not come Whigs none,
to see whigs or democrats. 1 came to j Whigs!
see the people. I am a friend to all
equally and I hope to administer the
government to secure to them all equal
all.”
The correspondent of the Philadel
phia Ncics stales that the journey of the
President from Bedford Springs to
Somerset was marked by continued
demonstrations of public admiration.—
He says:—“At every town, villa^
cross-road, hamlet and tavern, they
have turned out en masse—men, women
and children—and greeted him as no
before greeted, at least in
this part of the country.”
The parly slopped to dine at a small
roadside tavern in the mountains, and
after dinner it appears General Tayli
entered into conversation with a red
hot Loco Foco, which is thus reported:—
Loco.—[Walking up to the Presi
dent.] Gineral, how d* ye do? I’m
glad to see ye, but I didn’t vcle for ye,
‘cause I’m a Dimocrat.
Gen. Taylor.—Pm just ns glad to see
you for all that; I came here to see
Whigs, Democrats ami Natives, and all,
and am glad to see all.
Loco.—You said you should he the
President of the people," and iiot of a
party, and that you wouldn’t be pro
scriptive; but you’ve turned out the
Dimocrats and nufiodv else! •

ed* that. Col. McCaudless looked like a
General that would ‘play thunder and
break things.*
Another lad had it that Mr. A. W.
Loomis had the cut of a General, and
another that Gov. Johnston looked more
like a great conquerer.
The other small quiet-looking man,
with so kindly a face and so winning a
smile, they all agreed ‘did’nt look sav
age enough.’ But the excitement of spe
culation" rose to fever height, and
tie rascal, in primitive shirt and trou
sers, resolved to assure himself as tc
the real General, sang out at yell pitch
‘take off your hat, old Zach, so we cat:
know you for certain.’
The General turned, to the voice, and
with a nod and a smile at the little
group, gravely took off his hat amid a
most deafening peal of cheers.—Jour.

Gov. Johnson followed in an eloquent
speech, which the crowd responded lef
by frequent and hearty cheering.
He left Carlisle at ffinlf-past 2o’clock t
and at Newville, a small village, a pha-'
lanx of Indies were in waiting at the de
pot. Gov. Johnston earnestly desired
that they won hi not press about him,
stating that he was .still quite unwell;
but the ladies would not be "pacified.—j
Then commenced one of those female
stampedes winch sweeps all before it.
They descended upon the President in
solid columns, and kissed the “ dear old
man” within an'incli of his life. • So.it
was at every stopping place. On his
arrival at Chambcrsburg, he was re
ceived by. a crimmitlee appointed for the
purpose, and the Hon. George Cham
bers extended to him a hearty and cor
dial welcome, in a ,neat..and eloquent
address, to whiclrthe President made a
suitable reply. Governor Johnson was
then-called upon, who. addressed the
people.
The President’s progress from Cham-
bersburgto Bedford Springs was mark
ed by*the same enthusiastic demonsira-
. tion of honest affection that has followed
rights and privileges.
At McConnelstown, n small place
near one of the mountain ridges, a col
lection stood in the rain awaiting the
President’s arrival. As the coach drove
up, they gathered around it, eager to
sec “ the man of Buena Vista,” as they
called him, yet half afraid to touch him.
The President at once alighted amongst
them, taking each by the hand in that
but sincere manner which
at one once assured them. They ex
pected a speech, but the President was
too weak. They then called tor Gov.
Johnston, whose easy manners arid
free intercourse with the people are nc
less remarkable lhau those oi Gen. Tay
lor himself. The people hovered around
their illustrious guests, and Governor
Johnson, in an ofThand manner, said
that he much regretted that the Presi-
Loco.—You’re right, Gineral; I nev-
thought of that. I b’licve the Dimo
crats did have all the places—that’s a
fact! They first got them from Giner
al Jackson.
Gen. Taylor.—Yes, my good friend,
they’ ve had possession of them for near
ly twenty years; and they ought to be
satisfied with their half hereafter.
This argument satisfied the Loco; and
he owned up. The whole affair ended
in a general laugh, and shaking the Gen
eral by the hand, he exclaimed, “You’re
right, Gineral,’* and repealed it until
the carriage rolled away.
At the summit of one of the Allegha
ny ranges, says the writer, within a
few miles of Somerset, a large proces
sion had collected, to escort the Presi
dent to town, which was at least three
quarters of a mile ih length. Consider

The Savannah Republican has been serving up,
for the benefit of the Georgian, a no very palatable
dish, in the shape of resolutions passed by the
“ Free Democracy” of the North, in opposition to
Southern rights and interests. The Georgian had
denied that the Northern Whigs are as reliable on
questions atlecting Southern interests, as the De
mocracy, and demanded proof. This has been fur
nished,—consisting of resolutions passed by the
Democratic Legislatures and Conventions of the
several Democratic States of Maine, New Hamp
shire, Michigan and Wisconsin, and by the party of
Vermont, announcing their “ uncompromising hos
tility to the extension of slavery into any territory
of the United States now free”; and their deter
mination “toresist the admission of any new State
into the Union while tolerating slavery.”
The reiterated charge by the Southern Locofoco
press, of Whig hostility, and Democratic friendship,
to the South, has again and again been nailed to
the counter as a base fabrication, by an array of
far proof by the Whig journals. Of the prom-
of that party in the North, a v
ity are the avowed opponents of Southci
lions and Southern rights; while the party univer
sally in that section, have but little hesitation
declaring, in tho language of the New Hampshi
resolutions, their ** conviction, as the Democratic
party have heretofore done, that neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude should hereafter exist in any
territory that may bo acquired by, or annexed to,
the United States.” Even at the South, their
champions are found deserting those who adhere,
at all hazards, to their political rights; and, with
1 croaking* of prefended zeal for the welfare and
stability of the Union, and a holy horror of even
| the slightest tendency to disunion, are found chi-
! ming in with the Free Soil doctrines of Northern

VY e recollect a prediction made by the New Yorkf"
Tribune, simultaneously with an account of Ffesi* •
dent Polk's visit to that city, previous to the nomi*
nation of the old hero, and soon after the glorious-
achievement at Buena Vista. Giving a detailed
account of the reception, the procession, die., tho* V
Tribune, in imagination, changed the picture—-
UnheraldeJ by flaming hand-bills or newspaper an*
nouncements, and known but an hour previously t<r
the people, it was told that old Rough and; Ready"
was about entering the city. In that brief houf
passed from lip to lip, the news; and with a thrill
which no common event inspires, each heart in the*
Empire city bounded at the announcement; and*
fast as ’twas echoed by the swelling mass, Brd$<£-
way’s length and breadth were lined with the hu
man tide. No festoons or flowery arches decked
the streets, nor banners, inscribed with his deeds of'
glory, or speaking a people’s welcome, streamed
from house-tops; those deeds were written in un
fading characters upon the memory, and the heart
of that dense throng, which beat in silence, but
aited tho appearance of the old hero, to give
at to its pent up welcome. At length ’Us whis
pered that lie comes. Mate expectation spreads
her anxious hush. The hearts of the old and young-
beat with anxiety, while even tears suffuse the
eyes of beauty. Soon there passes amid the crowd;
a plain, farmer-like man, dressed in an old brown
surtout, and tarpaulin hat—mounted upon an old
white horse—with the same calm, quiet face which
sat unmoved amid the shots of Monterey, and di
rected the glorious deeds of Buena Vista. And as
he rides leisurely along, nodding, with that kind
smile, on either- side, the pent-up feeling bursts
and in thunder tones, and as only honest welcome
speaks, nlong that vast line of human heads, “ Oldi
Zach” is honored with one continued cheer. -
That prediction has been more than verified,
wherever the time-worn soldier lias shown his hon
est face. Jacksonism, in its palmiest days, in the
stronghold of tho old hero, failed to arouse the en
thusiasm which has everywhere attended “Old
Rough and Ready.”

twice as much money as they lost fiy

us the other day that it had no doubt, in

the Whigs had as much of the stolen
public money as the Democrats, consid*
eririg the opportunities.”

We hope the Republican may continue to serve
tip similar repasts to the Georgian and its party,
until sickened of the foul eruptions of its own sto

The Passport Question.
Many of the Locofoco papers of the country
loud in condemnation of the refusal of Secretary
Clayton to grant a passport to a negro man, about
to visit Europe. The reason assigned by Mr. C.
for the refusal, was that the precedents of the De
partment would not authorise him in doing
that he did not wish to assume ( the responsibility of
a different usage.

The Czar and Louis Napoleon.—A Pari* let-

and the Czar seem to be on the best of terms.—
The Czar has written the President a letter in both ’

vqr accorded to Louis Philippe even on the
death of the Duke ol Orleans. He was too much
king of principle to honor thus a man who had
usurped the throne ot the elder branch of the Bour-
s. The President has answered it by ordering
of France about two hundred Polish refugee*. ,
They are conducted without funds to the frontier.
This compliment will be peculiarly acceptable to
the Czar, and will ensure a warmer welcome to
