eee _ EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. A PRessxtation or Prate.—Last night the Clerks employed under Johu W. Forney, Eeq., during the Thirty-second and Thirty- third Congress in the office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives of the United States, presented to that gontleman at his residence a beautiful Silver Piteher and pair of Silver Goblets, manufactured by the Messrs. Galt of this city, and suitably inscribed About fifty gentlemen, in all, were present. The presentation was made in the name of ~ his associates under Col. Bowyer, who said: “Sir F. by Mr. Joba C. forgetting self, render a tribute of respect in offering a memorial of the heart typified by a symbol of art, there is something in the cere- mony which elevates and gives dignity to human nature. : “« As expressive of our attachment and re- spect, the pleasing duty devolves on me of tendering a memorial significant of a feolin beyond that which ordinarily regulates soci: intercourse. We know not what vicissitudes may be wrapt up in the future, or what a day may bring forth, as change appears to be the order of the day—nothing social or moral can escape it, the dearest ties are sn: and in a moment we are par meet no more. “Thus impressed, the gathered around you, not merely to say fare- well, but in uttering that sentiment, to em- body it in something’ durabl which may greet your eye as tions of life. “ Before concluding, allow me to say that we have witnessed your career for years, and in separating from you, we were rejoiced to aee that in the new sphere in which you were laced by the failure to organize the House of J ogresestatives, you won golden opinions and athered well deserved commendations frem tiend and foe alike. « In conclusion sir, permit me to say, that whatever may be your destiny, we teel sured that a | you, and judging from the past, we ration “Tt now only remains to bols of our regard in your hands, whic to represent.”” Col. Forney respofided in the following elo- quent terms: “Treturn my pee ar to the gen- en associated in the cffice of the Clerk of the House of Repre- sentatives of the United States fur these chaste tlemen with whom [ have and beautiful testimonials of their reg and I thank you, sir, for the manner in w you have presented them, and for the terms in which you have chosen to speak of myself “I rejoice that I can say with entire sin- cerity, that the full measure of confidence and friendship, always felt and avowed by those connected cfficially with me, has been and constantly reciprocated on my t is @ most grateful reflection, this consciousness that although most of us met as strangers, We now separate to be close and de- cordial! part. voted friends. {n the days which ar come, give me such a recullection as this; prove that I possess the confidence and affec- tion of those who know me best and have known me longest, and the roar of calumny will pass by like the idle wind.

Sir, I assumed the duties imposed upon me by most unexpected de- lay, without a motive that was not honest and ust. It never occurred to me thatI might © expected to do a wrong to serve those righ- teous principles upon which I believe God him- self bas set his Spring seal; and I was at my course, such as it was, should ocession surprise in others. I was, however, profoundly sefsible of the ap- proval manifested by the unanimous endorse- ment of the House after the election of Speaker; and I am glad thus publicly to ex- trying position consisted in the I had differed in politic: — to find me an unjus was devoted heart an circumstances, and by a most unex surprised to find ti press my grateful sense of this honor. “One word in conclusion. You are in- debted, those of you who have been removed from office by my successor, General Cullom, towards whom I entertain sentiments of high respect for his courteous treatment, tothe fact that you are identified with the Ameriean De- mocracy. It was the adherence of that organi zation toa Jority, an which they have not hesitated to exercise. Do we not all remember that struggle of 1554? Who cannot recall the raven notes that filled the atmosphere with groans, the dark pro- phecies of ruin, law? The duty which called upon the Demo- cracy to act could not be evaded. in the beams of power. They are made stern and iron responsibility. “It is their mis- sion to encounter grave and perilous errors, to assert the right in the face of defeat, and no matter how terrible e; and if they godown in the conflict they must bide their time; and so to grapple with wrong, ly strong it may sure as their cauge is just, they will rise again. The engineer is not jong disheartened at the dithculties which impede his efforts to open the wilderness to civilization. Hé calls star eyed scieuce to his aid; he invokes the stout arm of honest labor to his side; and when the rocky way is once opened to the tide of progress, human blessings and liberal laws travel in company with the genius of steam, and the wilderness blossoms like the rose. So it is with the Democratic party. That party cannot hesitate at the obstacles thrown forward to arrest its advance It must go on at every hazard. The lion in its ath, whether it be faction or whether it be suaticiam, must be removed or destroyed. Io such a crisis, let the intelligent energies of the masses be enlisted on the side of the right, let them be armed with the weapons of rea- ‘on, and no matter how long justice may be roves) the result is inevitable. Human appiness will be advanced by the victory, aud Democratic progress will have taken a new stride from which there will be no re- celing; and so with the issue to which I have referred. Even before the victors had tained the goal they were beaten; their ar- mor was pierced, not by their adversaries in front, bat by their disinterested cohorts in the rear. Theirown guns were turned upon themselves, and instead of one broad, bright banner, signalling a united host, their forces are now following the flags of factions, or dropping off piecemeal, demoralized, dis- Pirited, and decayed ““* Wait a little longer’ and the parallel will becomplete.

Among those present were all the olenks of Se ae me, and man: er gentlemen of | pubire affairs. The happy company adjourned at an early hour. Miss DaruixG attracted a large audience to Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening to hear her recitation of ‘‘ Hiawatha.’’ We noticed many members of Congress with their ladies, and a large attendance of those gentlemen who have traversed the forest wilds of the West, and are familiar with the Indian character. All wore delighted; and the gifted reader was equally complimented for her distinct articu- lation, her modulated voice, her original con- ception of the poem, and her graceful manner. By earnest request she gives a second recita- tion this evening.

He will havea fashionable and a crowded audience. Turis EvenrnG, remember, Mr. Eddy’s bene- fit comes off at the National, and he will per- form in the tragedy of “ Jack Cade.” This is one of the master-pieces of the American Drama, and, when well cast, and well put on the stage, is well worth wjtnessing.

Go and hear her, by all means — [communicaren. Mr. Epitor: I perceive, from a recent notice in your paper, that you have been looking at the Atmospheric Telegraph, and that you are much pleased at its modus oper- andi. I have also been regarding it rather attentively, and confess that t isa good thing, and if it be possible to make a practical ap- Plication of it sufficiently la: for the pur- ses of the public, it will reflect the highest onor on the inventor. There is only one point that appears to me rather difficult of at- tainment, and I should be under great obli- gations to Mr Richardson if he ehould en- lighten the public through the medium of the Star. He says seven tons would be five min- utes in coming from Baltimore to Washington— that is, seven tons would travel at the rate of seven hundred feet in one second of time. Now, a musket ball travels at the rate of thir- teen hundred feet in a second—faster, a good deal, than a 2:40 horse. The question I wish to get at is, if seven tons of mailable matter move at the rate of seven hundred feet por second, how is it possible to stop it when it ar- rives at Washington if started at Baltimore ?

Several messages of but little im ance was received from the Mayor and Qorpora- tion clerk, and appropriately referred. The financial report of the Mayor for 1855, and his estimated receipts and expenditures, (in printed form,) was furnished the members.
