Late in January following he accepted an invitation to visit Boston, where he was entertained with elaborate receptions (one at Mr. Everett's), and presented with a pitcher and a sword. Governor Andrew and other members of the State government were ignored in the festivities. It was almost the last effort of the expiring conservatism of Boston to rally on the old lines. The plot was already in progress to put McClellan forward as the oppos
