on monthly evening last, and put up at the Mount
CarbeMl Hotel.' He came as the guest of •Jorist
* MUTE. Ese.,land every mark of respect due his
highofficill station was shown him by all classes of
our citizens, irrespective of .party. During his brief
stay, he : visited several of our collieries, and appeared
to be ovally pleased and surprised at the prosperous
trod thriving appthrence 91 our great and growing
region, as well aif flattered by the attention shown
bile every where.
On Wed.nelid : the Governor dined at the Na
tional Hotel, and nn the following day a sunaptuous .
.aniertainmetat Was given him by Joux Eeq.
A large number or our most respectable citizens also
partook Mr.! Wnr:re's hospitality. The dinner
was excellent,o6l wines pure and sparkling, and the
best of feeling Pr veiled. May the. rancor of party
feeling never l distihb the friendly relations of social
•
intercourse..
After dinner, tlns Light Infantry and Yagers were
•
reviewed by hie ex l eellency. He appeared to be ruech
•
struck, with their tie, military appearance.
Yesterday morning,olie 'Governor took his depsr
tore for Reading, in , a private carriage, escorted by the
Schuylkill County Troop. The military escorts of
Governors and Presidents savor too much of the un
meanipg, pomp anj.l magnificenco 'of royalty to suit
our plain, republi notions ; however, the alarm
ing state of the times, and the open disaffection of the
populate, might have rendered it necessary to afford
this show of protection to his excellency's person.

forgetting that the imposition of this tax is wholly

bill was gall and wormwood to the locofocos. Their

upon which they built all thOir hopes of future suc
