On arriving at Alton the whole party embarked on steamboats for St. Louis, whore they jwrived in the afternoon. OM SPRINGFIELD TO ST. LOUIS. A beautiful morning greeted the party in Springfeld ; after a quiet breakfast at seven o'clock the Pres!- ‘and suite proceeded to the depot and entered the im for Alton, Ill. A band of music escorted the guests the hotel, Playing national airs, and a few hundred composed an orderly gathering at the cars to their departure. The rowdyism of last night not repeated; neither was there great evidence imterest in the proceedings or curiosity to see the ‘ hed persons of the party. At half-past eight A. M. the train left Springfield bobind, while the continued playing and the cannon firing. ‘Mr. Doolittle, junior, amd Marshal Gooding left us the former to return to his home in Wisconsin, the latter to visit his family in Indiana, Assistant O’Beirne will discharge the functions of latter in his absence.

Taylor, ex-Mayor Colonel Knapp, of the St. Louis Republican; Colonel Brook- yer, Vice President of the Board of Aldermen; Alder. |man Friedeneau, Colonel Williams and Tom Richardson. first stopping place was Chatham, where a few peo- only had assembled. At Virden s much greater Bamber were in waiting, and honored the arrival of the perty by a salute and a selection of national airs. ENTHUSIASM AT CARLINVILLE, At Carlinville; the temper of the assemblage was un- bly changed. The reception that awaited the t resembled more the popular outbursts on the of the New York Central Railroad. Every counte- beamed with joy, and every throat was dis- d to the utmost in the effort to drewn the salute of ty-one guns by patriotic cheers, The citizens of the ounding county had assembled in wagons and other les, and continued their applause until the train out of hearing. At Shipman and Brighton there fewer persons, bat no less enthusiasm, and the lety of the people to see the President evidenced the interest felt by them in the policy of hiv adminis- jon. PRILLIANT BORNE AT ALTON, On arriving at Alton the Mississippi burst suddenly o view, bearing on its waters a fleet of twelve steatn- i loaded with excursionists from St. Louis, and ing along with flags and banners flying. The sight & fine one, and drew exclamations of surprise and from all. At the Alton depot a stand had been d by the city authorities, to which the President and @Mcers were conducted, while the ladies and their danta were conducted at once to the steamboat Andy Johnson, which had been selected to transport the y to St. Louis, twenty-five miles distant, Salutes were fred and the greatest possible excitement jailed. The cheering was wild and the demonstra emphatic, THR MAYOR'S ADDRETS. The Mayor of Alton extended a cordial weloome to the erg and the statesmen and heroes who accompany im a neat speech, saying that however much the # differed, their welcome was irrespective of party alluded to his recent presence at Chicago at the laying ‘Of the Douglas Monument corner stone, and to ‘he ‘ying ) aeteded the late Senator to his son, namely Re ithful to the coustitution and obey the laws, | and also Weferred to the visit to the tomb of Lincoln, from his lettors and inaugural addross, as full of stn and charity ax they were faithful to duty. ‘THR PRESIDENT'S KEAPONSR The President, in his response, returned bis thanks. and Senator Douglas were personal as well as polit frienda Both engaged in the same cause of guard the public liberty. @ reference made to the con J@titution Induced him to say it was time to consider what the constitution is—whether it provided for a gov @rament of limived powers or was made of gum clastic, fo be stretched at will and pleasure.

SECRETARY SRWARD'S aPrRCH Mr. Reward: war then vociferously called for Ospeceh. He eaid, in substance :— In 1864 your yates and myne alected Abraha — and Andrew Johnson as President and Vice President of the United States, tor the noble pui oF beeing ae rebellion and restoring the Union. Now, has this been effected? No! Well, f Abraham Lincoln had hved and Andrew Johnson remained only Vice Presideat of the ites, let me ask you if you believe Abra- ham Lincom would have consented to have this - subjugated four conditions, panel) the debt, the assumption o! ‘he loyes deb, the abolition of slavery, and the renunciation of the right of secession. They had doue ali this, and now if the Union 18 pot re- stored it is because pistol of am assassin has done that which a tiliion of armed rebels” were Bot allowed to do by General Grant and the brave men of Missouri, Illinois and the valley of the Mississippi. You cannot refuse to consent to the reunion of this nation, and you have for your leader and the defender of your cauge to-day the succes- sor of Abraham Lincoln. Ido not believe that when the Constitution is restored in al) its parts that the people of this country cannot manage #o small a matter as the ad- Jusiment of the relations and position of four millions of colored people; vor will the ormait the incongruity of the existonce of auch a small number of people to dis- turb the arrangement of the Union. ‘These remarks were warmly applauded. TH PARTY CONDUCTED TO THR STEAMER. ‘The ceremonies of the platform having been concluded, the party were squeezed through a dense mass of human beings to the deck of the steamer Andy Johnson. Meanwhile, salutes were fired and cheers were frequently repeated by the ‘excited multitude. The Knights Templars acted as escort. The efforts of the police and comimitteemen to protect the Prosidential party from the disagreeableness of working their way through crowds were totally inefficient, The police fortunately, how- e rendered some relief by the interposition of their drawn swords, mounted on a platform on board the “andy Johnson.” Captain James B, Eades, of St. Louis, addressed the President, saying, in substance, that the people of St. Louis, irrespective of party, ten- dered to him the hospitalities of the city, He paid a high compliment to the President’s patriotism, who, by his sound judgment and inflexible honesty, had risen to the highest pinnacle of human greatness—had raised poverty to eminence, and placed the laurel on the molat- ened brow of labor, THE RESIDENT'S REPLY TO CAPTAIN BADER’ ADDRESS, These remarks wore received with marked satisfaction. The President, in reply, said:— Lang! ts Inadequate to con’ the emotions that hat een extied amy bones on le occasion.

In afew minutes thereafter the Andy Johneon, the Ruth and Olive Branch, started down the river abreast, securely lashed together, and were fol- lowed by the remainder of the fleet. To those who never witnessed the transportation of an army by steam- boat the sight wae the grandest ever seen; and, as the music of the many bands came floating acrows the water, the scene bore a striking resemblance to Oriental pageantry. MAGNIFICENT SIGHT ON THR RIVER, A few miles above St. Louis « large number of stearm- boats awaited the party; they were unable, from their great size and the present low stage of water, to pans the bar at that point. From there to St. Louis the fleet proper was composed of thirty-six steamboats, typical of the thirty-six reunited States, each bearing # broad ban- ner, on which was inscribed the name of a State. In addition to these the steamboate G. W. Graham, Yellow. stone and Southwester were assigned to carry the mem- bers of the eleven Jobnson clubs, numbering about 1,800 in all; the Albert Pearce to the Fenian Brotherhood; the War Eagie to the ship carpenters; the M.S. Mepham to the exclusive use of the army and navy, the Burtable for the clabs of St. Louls; the W. J. Lewis t) the Silver Grays, or Old Guard, and the Belle of St. Louis to a dele- gation of railroad mew. A collation was provided by the Lindel! House for the Presidential party and others; thirty baskets of wine were added by the committce. The whole was spread between one and two o'clock on the Ruth, and over two hundred persons were seated at the tables in her spacious cabin at ooe time, The quantity prepared was, however, wholly insuMeient for the great number allowed on board, and some confurion ensued to- wards the clove of the repast, but good nature was the order of the day. IN SIONT OF #7, Loum, On coming in sight of St Louls it was evident that the people were enjoying the scene. All the principal pub- lic batidings were decorated with fings, As far into the city ae could be seen from the river every staf bore a national Gag. The wharves and barges at the upper end of the landing were but comfortably packed with mpectatore, but ax the fleet passed = along opposite the front of the city every avail able foot of standing room, from the water's edge to the roofs of the buildings, was brought into requisition, Over thirty steamboats lay moored at the wharves awa(ting our arrival, with their upper and lower decks, spare and guards packed with masses of fiving bein The cheering, shouting and firing of can non was wholly indescribable. The fleet steamed by toajestically, passed down the river seven miles to Ca- rondolet, rounded the island and returned to the landing. Asthe fleet neared the lower portion of the city the bells and stearn whistles of all the boats lying at the wharves were rung and blown as the steamboat salute to the Presidential party and coutinoed their shrieking ‘and clangor anti! the party reached the street, THE RECEPTION AT ST. LOUIS. The crowd at the lnrée qas beyond computation, and greatly in @xcens of any encountered since leaving New York. A stranger would havo supposed the entire North weet had congregated on these wharves to honor the arrival of the President, instead of a portion of the population of only one great city. As soon as a landing could be effected, the Mayor welcomed the Provident as follows = MATOR THOMAS ADDRES.

Next camo General Grant, when the cheers were ter rific, concluding with “tigers’’ and exelamations of “Hurrah for Grant!’ Admiral Farragut waa also introduced, and he, too, received the plaudits of a gratefal people for important services rendered to the country. He made a few re- marks expressive of his thanks. APRECH OF MR, BRWARD. Secretary Seward was called upon for a speech. Hin advance to the front was greeted with applause, He raid — Fiaiow Cinzaxs—In all political history it is not re- corded that every Secretary of State spoke in the resence of the Chief Magistrate, who, like Kings and Einperor, has miuisters whose daty it is to be silent, and ady se and record—never to open their lips in the common service of ail the people. But this seems to be a day of political penitence, in which I hear men of all States and all coantries talking in ther own language.
