' General Taylor having accepted an invita. lion to visit Georgetown on Wednesday, about noon Henry Addison, E?q., Mayor, accompa nied by Rotert Ould, Esq., Recorder, of that town, arrived at Willard's Hotel, and soon af ter escorted the President Elect land suite to Georgetown. At the bridge they Were met by nearly tbe entire population, eagec to welcome the distinguished veteran to one of the most ro mnntic and classic spots; in out country. Here the Mayor delivered an appropriate ad dress, which was responded to by General Tay ,or in h P,ain and forcible style. ! A line of procession was men lormeu, wnicn proceeaea 10 the Union Hotel," where for some hours mul titudes of citizens, of all classes, greeted with delight the venerated chief. Upwards of five hundred ladies were presented to him, whilst the sterner sex were enthusiastic in their at tentions, j The General and suite then retired to anoth er spacious apartment, and with the Mayor and other officers of the Corporation sat down to a sumptuous and elegant dinner,' prepared in Tilley's best style. About rive o'clock, their distinguished guest being summoned by other engagements, the company separated, after a day spent in most agreeable and gratifying in tercourse. Nat. Int.

' Washington has never witnessed so brilliant a company as was assembled this night in the White Housp.

We may truly say. without compliment, (for truth pan no longer be ascribed to adulation.) that we have never seen the President and lady loofc better with brighter or more contented facesj. There seem ed to be but one sentiment among this large and animated assembly a disposition to pay respect to the retiring President. One who saw the crowd, without understanding the char, acter of the meeting, remarked! that it was the 6- w rising rather than the setting sun so-brilliant. i ly and so gloriously does ; it descend below the i horizon. i Washington could never boast of a more beautiful or a more splendid spectacle. The motive f the meeting the immense multitude which thronged these extensive rooms the talent and moral force, and distinguised men and beautiful women, that graced the assem bly, constituted one of the most remarkable scenes which we have ever witnessed.

Substance of General Taylors Reply. The President Elect, in signifying his acceptance of the office to which he had been chosen by the People, avowed emo tions of the profoundest gratitude, and declared his distrust of the ability to fulfil the expectations upon Which their confi dence was based ; but cave assurance of a fixed purpose, to administer the G iovern- ment for the benefit and advantage of the whole conn try. : . , . In alluding to the fact to which his at- tention had been drawn, that the Chair- man of the Committee represented a pub- ite body a pajonty of whom were oppos- edin political opinion to the President elect, and aecorded with that majority, he recognised m it the deference to the pop ular will, constitutionally expressed, on which rests the strength and hope of the Republic, and he said that it was to have been expected of the Senate of the Uni ted States. He expressed an ardent wish that he might be able in any degree to assuage the fierceness of party, or temper with moderation the conflicts of those who are only divided as to the means of se curing the public welfare. Having been rtuiiuucu uiai ur wns auuui iu occupy the chaif once filled by Washington, he said he could hope to emulate him only in the singleness of the aims which guided the conduct of the man who had no par allel in historv, and could have no rival " in the hearts of his countrymen." In conclusion, he announced his readi ness to take the oath of office on the fifth ! of Ma"ch proximo, at such hour and place as might be designated, and expressed the Committee his thanks for the manner in which the duty assigned to them had been discharged. The same Joint Committee of Congress waited on the Hon. Millard Fillmore, Vice President elect, who, in signifying his ac- ceptance of the office to which he had been chosen by the people, expressed the profound sensibility with which he receiv ed the announcement of his election, and I Sa,t! that' impressed with the obli- i Scions which it imposed, and the distin- guished honor it conferred, he should injustice to msieeiingsn ne laueu in ex press his grateful thanks tor sucn a man. ifestation of confidence ; that he should accept the office, conscious of 'his want experience, anu o.strusuui oi nit nomiy tr ftisrbnrcrn its rtutifs. hnt With an nnr. - j it.. r.-.i r l: w - ' - - - -; ious desire to meet the expectations those who had so generously conferred upon him.

Therpeoplc of North Carolina have for some years past evinced a disposition to facilitate the means of commercial inter- course, both foreign and domestic. It is an object in which they have felt them- selves so deeply interested, that no small sums have been already expended for its accomplishment. The rivers of the Yad- kin, Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar, and Roanoke, ' all witness, by the works commenced, and ' the moneys disbursed, that such a wish-. has been alive in the public mind: and so well known are the many other altes- tations of it, that to be particular in their ; enumeration is unnecessary. It is practi- cal proof that they have been deeply sen- 1 sible of the disadvantages of their situa- j tion, and they have been watchful of the f methods practicable for their removal I If there have been dissenting minds, it ' was not because the object was not deem-1 ed most important to our individual and i national prosperity, but that they could not think the time yet arrived, when our ! strength was competent to the attainment I of our wishes.
