The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Not for the purpose of empty parade, or to acquire the applause of gaping multitudes—not for the display of royal pageantry and courtly Magnificence—not to exact the homage of a depressed and impoverished people, or the blind adulation of a host of slaves—not to interrupt the labours of the industrious in their several occupations, or to disturb the tranquility of domestic life, by being attended with a splendid mercenary military guard.—No.—Far other objects gave rise to the present excursion of the illustrious President. Safe in the protection of Heaven, and the affections of a grateful people, he wants, he has no other guard; being attended only by his Secretaries, and a few servants; and though the spontaneous and affectionate respects of an enlightened community are the richest reward of patriotism, yet we have every reason to suppose, the President will receive it as the highest evidence of attachment to his person, for the people to dispense with every species of parade that may prove inconvenient to themselves, or may interfere with the prime object of his journey.
