LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION

President Johnson nt Raleigh.
Asa part ol the history of the time*,
we present the following abstract of the
ceremonies incident to the reception of
the President nt Raleigh, the telegraph
account of Which reached os too lute lor
our paper on yesterday:
lUi.kioh, June 3.
The President was met by a commit
tee of officers of the State and city, and
of the Military. lie was received by
Mr. Battle, State Treasurer, who wel
comed him, in handsome terms, to his
native city.
President Johnson responded briefly,
expressing warm thanks for the flattering
manner in which he had been welcomed.
Mr. Battle then welcomed Secretary
Seward and Postmaster General Ran
dall, both of whom responded, Mr.
Seward facetiously declaring that he
found the Secretary of State of the
United States completely overwhelmed
by the Secretary of State of North Ca
rolina, (an allusion to the huge seize of
the N. C. Secretary, he being 6 feet 4,
and large in proportion.)
Mr. Seward referred to the career of
President Johnson, and declared that he
believed his conduct of public affairs
had been not only patriotic but honest.
Postmaster General Randall also spoke
briefly.
On reaching Raleigh the party was
met by a large crowd, and welcomed by
the Mayor. The President responded,
thanking the Mayor for the manifesta
tion of the confidence and respect of the
people of his native city.
A procession was then formed, —the
President being accompanied by a mili
tary escort. Proceeding through the
principal streets to the Yarborough Ho
tel, the President was there introduced
to the crowd by Governor Worth, who
welcomed him as a son of North Caro
lina who has rendered himself illustrious
by his honest, earnest, unflinching ad
herence to the Coustitutiou and the
Union.
The President was greeted with ap
plause and responded as follows : Sir,
permit me, through you, to tender to
the people of the State of North Caro
lina, my sincere thanks for the welcome
tendered me on the occasion of my
return to my native town. I confess
that, under the circumstances, and in
view of the demonstrations which have
been made since I reached Raleigh, as
well as on the way, I am inspired with
emotion which language is wholly inad
equate to express here. In the language
ol another—and it is not worth while to
attempt to improve upon it—here, in
the city of Raleigh, is where my infant
eyes first saw the light of heaven. Here
are the scenes of my childhood—here is
everything to bind man to his fellow
and to associate him with surrounding
objects. Here is where the tenderest
emotions of the heart have taken a firm
hold upon everything to which it is
attached. In making my entrance into
this city today, my mind voluntarily
wandered back to the time when 1 left
her streets a penniless and inexperienced
boy, to make my way in the world.
(Applause.) When looking back forty
one years ago, and on returning here
to-day, I begin to inquire, where are
those I left behind ? I ask, in the lan
guage of poetry Itself, the friends of my
childhood, where are they ? “ Echo
answers where?” Some have emigrated
and gone to other lands ; some have
complied with the inexorable and irre
sistible call, and have passed to that
“ undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns.” I ask
again, friends of tny childhood, where
are they ? Where are the Ilaywoods,
Hunters, and Lanes ? Where the
Pearces, the Roysters, and Smiths, and
Jones ? Where is the long list of men
who lived at that day, and who com
manded re :pect for constancy to priciple?
(Applause.) Under such circumstances
could I feel indifferent? I would be
false to ray nature if I forgot you—and
not to indulge in self adulation, I can
say I feel proud of the demonstrations
in my honor by the citizens of my native
town.
“ Breathes there a man with «oul so dead
Who never to himself has said,
This is my own, my native land?”
I have come to participate in the
ceremonies of dedicating a monument
to a man whom you respected. Though
of poor and humble origin, he was my
father, and of him I am proud. He
was an honest man and faithful friend ;
a character I prize higher than all the
worldly fortune that could have been
left me. This is not the time or
occasion to discuss the political issues
which disturb the public mind, but as
all usion has been made to tuy first going
out from among you, I may say that
ever since I formed an opinion as to the
fundamental principles of the Govern
ment, I have adhered to them and to
the Constitution, the Union and the flag
of my country. (Applause.) When I
went out from among you and from the
time 1 became connected with politics,
I laid down as my rule a conscientious
performance of duty, and adopted the
Constitution of my country as my guide
—(Applause)—and by these, whether
in prosperity or adversity, 1 have always
been guided and controlled ; and come
weal nr woe, ill high places or low pla
cer, with the Constitution as my guide,
with my hand laid on the altars of mv
country, I will leave these great prin
ciples lor those who are to follow.
(Applause.) One of my leading tenets
has been the prosperity of the great
mui of the people, holding that all per
wma, ewlhonl eegaed to eoaditowi «r
color, ehould be eeteemed according to
merit or worth, leaving each to
rise on his own Merit, courage, and
energy. Let this *be th* standard, so
that to every one be assigned his
true ffife. 1 trust and
hope, instead of discussing party issues,
cresting factions between the North ami
South, East or West, that all will exert
themselves for the raatamtiou of the
Union ol these States, so that the flag
may float over a contented and pros
perous people. Let us, ay friends,
repair the breaches made by the war
and restore the Union. This being
accomplished, we may then make such
issues as the public prosperity and safety
may demand. I<el us efface from our
minds the memory of the past—let ns
pour oil on the troubled waters, and
restore peace to the States. This has
been my constant object; but let this
pass- I simply came to this place in
compliance with your invitation, to
participate in another ceremony—to
confer an honor upon the memory
of one who was a few years ago
in your midst. This has not ema
nated, as I understand, from any par
ticular quarter or family. One word to
you, young men. There is much said
as to education’s advantages, etc.; but
if any of you wish to succeed, or in
common phrase, make yourselves men ;
you will have to do so through your own
exertions. I know some are familiar
with the hardships and fiery trials
through which I have passed during the
time that has elapsed since I left you.
It is uot for me to say whether I have
succeeded or not. Let that be as it may
—my race is nearly run. lam no
aspirant for anything, and the way is
open for all. Places of emolument and
distinction are before you. There
are here a few of those in whose hands
the administration of the Government
is to be placed; we are passing
away; the next wave will bring you
young men and women in our places,
and our work will fall into other hands,
therefore the greater should be your
efforts to prepare yourselves for the
responsibilities.that must in time devolve
upon you. In conclusion, permit me to
tender you my thanks for this cordial
welcome, extended through your distin
guished representative, the Governor of
the State. Though she sent me out
penniless and friendless, and did Dot
than afford those advantages which you
now enjoy ; and though on returning I
cannot do so, in the language of the
schools, to my alma mater, I can say,
with pride and satisfaction, she is my
mother ; and whatever may have been
her delinquencies, I love her still. Then,
ladies and gentlemen, let me again ex
press my heartfelt thanks for the warm
and sincere welcome on my return to
this, my native city.
The President, as he retired, was re
peatedly applauded.
Secretary Seward being loudly called
for, briefly responded. He claimed the
privilege of sinking out of the scene.
The President was among them—a
citizen of Raleigh come home again.
He would simply thank them lor the
willingness expressed to see and bear
him, and invite them all to come back
to the ark of the Union.
Postmaster General Randall was next
called for. He referred to the career of
the President, from the time he went
from them forty years ago, a penniless
boy, untill he now returns, the honored
President of forty millions of people.
Such spectales show that there is no
position that energy, enterprise, honesty
and intelligence will not reach.
Mr. Sickles responded to a vociferous
call, simply thanking them for their
kind reception, and referring to the well
ordered arrangements of the authorities,
which he was happy to say was but an
illustration of the peaceable and manly
bearing of the whole people of the
State.
The President in company with Mr.
Seward walked about town, to view old
familiar haunts, occasionally halting
here and there to shake“hands with old
friends. After the monument to his
father is dedicated, there will be a State
dinner.
The Condemned Fcniana.
Late Dubliu dispatches state that in
fluential deputations, with petitions nu
merously sigued, asking mercy to the
Fenian convicts, are arriving in that
city. Cardinal Paul Collen has called
on the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, ad
vising that the lives of all the condemned
be spared. Prayers were offered in all
the Catholic Churches of Dublin, on
Sunday, invoking the Almighty to in'
cline the royal mind to clemency. A
public meeting is called in Birmingham
for the same purpose. A deputation of
the members of the House of Commons,
with the Mayor of Dublin at its head,
was to call upon the Queen and present
a petition for mercy. The movement
has been so influential as to change the
determination of the Derby Government
iu the case of Burke, on account of
fears of Fenian revenge. Lord Derby
tendered a Cabinet recommendation to
the Queen, who, after anxious conside
ration, assented to it. The announce
ment of the result was received in the
House of Parli .ment with loud cheer
ing. Lord Derby stated that the only
reason for giving way was the over
whelming testimony of the Irish people
that it would be policy not to let the
law take its course.
