Richmond Palladium

The President, on his passage up the Delaware, and through New Jersey, appears to have been as heartily welcomed as in Philadelphia; where his appearance and manners won him much more than the respect of his fellow-citizens of all parties.

The following paragraph we find in Thursday's Pennsylvanian; and we can assure our readers that it is minutely correct:--

The President was informed by a gentleman on board, that it was said that Bishop White of Pennsylvania, had endeavored on Monday morning to obtain access to Independence Hall; for the purpose of paying his respects, but that he had been prevented by the density and commotion of the crowd. The President appeared much chagrined, and said, "The venerable Bishop White; he that was Chaplain to the Continental Congress. He is a truly excellent and great man. If I had been informed of the fact at the time, I would have made it my business to go out and see him." He then turned to one of the gentlemen of the Philadelphia Committee, and asked if he would be kind enough to call upon the Bishop, express his regrets, and say that a meeting would give much pleasure to at least one of the parties.

The crowd that prevented the Bishop from entering the room, was composed chiefly of boys. When the venerable gentleman turned to retire, a lane was formed for him, and he was treated with the respect due to his age, station, and character.
