Sir, we welcome you, not only in behalf of those who sent as, but we welcome you to the land of Washington, Jef- , Madison and Monroe, who were the friends of con- atitutional rights and liberties. To this addiess the Fresident briefly replicd, and in subetance kaid that he was deeply impressed with the honor conferred upon him, and that he would, with great pleaure, place himself in the hands of thé com- ee, The procession, consisting of 4 number of open youehes, one drawn hy four horses, in which the P dent of committee were seated, was then formed. . the rest of the Presidont’s party, consisting of Mra.

In fact that they have constituted me the medium for the-interpretation of their feelings and sentiment, you will conclude that their greetings are presented without the remotest referenceto political parties. I have no place now, such is the working of our free institu- tions, among politicians, and my position is entirely in the social circle. There's not one of us all, however, who doen not regard you as the representative of a great idea, which, Springing from ‘the bosom of a confederacy of States, constitutes you the chiet magistrate of a glorious - republic, and in that sentiment, apart from all otuer cor erations, entitling you to their deference and rey each and all salute you.

No sabre has flashed, no bayo- wet has glistened in the eycs of the’ populace, no body of armed mercenaries has surrounded -your person, and yet your body guard is larger and strong- er than ever in the history of our race sur- rounded. the person of any other than an American Presi- dent, A” whole people constitutes that body guard, Which now amounts to nearly 40,000,000 of {reemon. Their destinies under the constitution, are in a great meaduse committed to your hands, and we are well aware of the many anxieties and cares which necessarily dese: you. While we sleep, it is your province to ke2p watch over the public safety; and ‘after much labor an'l toil you come bither to enjoy a short repose, aniat this heal b-giving fountain to renew your ability to encoun‘er new ca.@s and new anxieties, And where else upon earth ean w spot be found better sulted fo your purpose? No Boi-e of rival {actions disturbs this peaceful valley.

THE CALL OF THE STATE COMMITTEE—NAMES OF DELEGATES, The following is the call for the conyention:— At a meeting of the Democratic State Central Gommit- teo, held at the city of Albany on the first day of Avgust, 1855, the following preamble and resolution were adopted/— Whe: eas, in view of the existing questions which agi- tate the minds of the people of this State, which not only menace them with a system of continued misgov- ernment, oppressive taxation and Bnancial disorder, but threaten’on one side utterly to overthrow the safeguards which tie constitution has placed over the hberty of individuals, the freedom of trade, the sanctiiy of the private domicil, the inviclability of property, and the exemption of the people from the infliction of vexatious and sumptuary laws; and on the other side, which con- fpiro to set up religious texte hitherto unknown to, the constitution, and to organise @ hatetul proscription by a secret political organization repugnant to the principles sndiengrevestog e welfure of a republican government, it has been urged upon us that a fuller representation from each Arstmbly district to the State convention, to meet at Syracuse on the 20th day of August, would afford the means of a freer unton and co-operation of demo- crats, anda fuller and more just expression of the po- pular sentinent— Resolved, That for the purpose of affording to all those who desire to stand up for the constitution and the doctrines of personal freedom and civil and religious liberty, the opportunity of being more fuily represented in such convention, the democrats of the several Assem- bly districts be requested to meet and elect two delegates trom each district, to the said Syracuse Convention, DEAN RICHMOND, Chatrman, P, Cacasr, Secretary.

We had hoped that we should have Veen alle to announce a decided improvement in the bills of mortality, but we are disagreeably disap pointed. The epidemic is thought, however, to be ut its height, and weil informed physicians, we are told, consider that hereafter it will continually de cline. The type of the fever just now is very violent, and the ptmest care in nursing is absolutely neces sary. For the last week the total number of deaths was 517, of which 304 were from yellow fever, aad 123 fron other diseaces. From the Charity Hospi tal the offi return 127 deaths trom the fever.

Stocks generally appear to be gradually settling down, and the probability is that points seve- ral per cent lower than those now ruling will in a few days be current. There is a more active demand for money. No change has been made in the rates, bat there is mote nquiry. The capital required to move the crops is unusually large, and it will be some time before it will find its way back again into Wall street. It mutt go round the regular circle of commerce. When the season is over and trade becomes quiet ogain, we shall find an accumulation going on in the hands of capitalists. Stocks will then absorb a large amount, and another inflation in prices may be realized. Reading was particularly active to-day at the decline. In about three months the present fiscal year of this company closes, when we shall have an exhibit of earnings never before shown by any railroad in this country on the same amount of.capital. Erie is gradually settling back again to the point from which it started a tew days since. Cleveland and Toledo was offered freely to- day at lower prices. The sales amounted to nearly two thousand shares. The facts and figures we have given in relation to the finances of this com- pany within the past few days, have opened the eyes of those who have blindly purchased the stock, and the large sales are undoubtedly the effect. There are lenty- of good railroad stocks in the market for in- stment, without touching those of a doubtful char- eter, or which are in the slightest degree tainted with equivocal financiering. The choice of good stccks is so great that men of moderate ans need not run the slightest risk in the investment of their funds, and they should avoid all those which are known to be shaky. Once ina while a bad stock will get in. good credit, and outsiders will get drawn in at high prices; but as soon as a suspicion is raised, it should be abandoned, upon the principle that the first loss is generally the smallest.
