The martial music, the military display, the cannon's roar from either :hore, the vast multitude, the mingling of those who had so recently been engaged in fierce political strife 'to get a last look at h'un, who was the nation's hope, was a scene which no one could witness unmoved. We never saw the General more .eeply affected, than when from the deck of the boat, in a rhort address, he took leave of the assembled thousands. lie spoke of the dilference of hi . feeling3, then, from the time when he had bin led at that ;ot in his youth, an bumble ensign 1.1 the .oy

of his country, he briefly contrasted tne appearance of the country then, when a!l around was a dense and dark fores.!, except where occasionally the humble logcabin varied the scene. Thrt panther's scream and the fierce ye',1 of the savage were then almost the only sounds that broke upon the stillness of the night. The hardv pioneer, who at that day had. thus far penetrated the w inds of the West, was expo-ed t dangers of every kind in establishing a home and procuring subsistence for his family. He spoke brivfly of

the condition cf this rich vallev now, of

tho highly cultivated fields, the beautiful cities that had sprung up as if by magic, erf the security, ne-ce, and plenty that

cioivued, a.i anVeus.v availing lor tho arrival of lite Hen Franklin with the President elect on board.

When the boat reached the wharf shewas welcomed Midi three cheers which were responded to by the concourse, with the President elect, on board of the boat.
