Full Text

The Uniontown, (Pa.) Democrat, represents the President to have been coolly received, in his passage through that part of the country. When he passed through that place before, he was triumphantly received, escorted by an immense train of citizens, surrounded by crowds which rendered access to him almost impossible, the doors and windows thronged with spectators. On Wednesday, (it says) though notice was had of his approach in the morning, not a soul went out to meet him, very few called upon him, and one person (he wanted an office we guess) escorted him out of town. A melancholy change indeed. The Democrat is offended at the great style in which his Excellency travels—two carriages and four.

If Pennsylvania grows lukewarm, the jig is up, and Jacksonism approaching its finale. Of the whole population of the U. States, the rewarded are the only class, which has not been more or less disappointed at the course of events, since March 1829.
