All wanting such work done cannot do better than to apply directly at the counter of the Star office. \ A Novev anv Beavtirvn Caresration — Last night there came off, at the residence of the venerable Mrs. Eliza B Mills, on Capitol Hill, in this city, a celebration of the triumph of Democracy in the recent election, as novel as it certainly was beautiful, interest- and imposing. Thirty-one ladies and misses—al! el: tly and tastefully attired, radiant with youth, health and beauty, rep- resenting each a State rs the | er Sper as. sembled on a carpe! staging, ina la mt which was appropriately decked with American ensigns as a. background. In front ef them were crowded perhaps two hun dred ladies and — (guests,) while every window in the house was resplendent with wax candles, and a full band of music stationed on a portico discoursed patriotic airs to enliven the scene. F At 8 p.m. the lady under whose capital taste and skill the affair was probably ar- ranged—Mrs. E 5S. Pendleton, who represent- ed Pennsylvania tered apartment splendidly attired, & coronet and band on her hair, — gays bees thir- ty-one sparkling silver stars. She passed u pe the staging under a wreath of blooming sal biashing flowers, held erect by two beautiful young ladies; and having faced the audience, one by one the ladies participating, represent- ing each a sister State, approached her and consecutively delivered to ber the following addresses, which were severally applauded: Vircinca.—Ever true to the Democracy, ever true tothe Union; the first torecommend the Declaration of Independence—the first to adopt a perfectly independent Constitution Vi has nobly sustained the patriot statesman, James Buchanan, and proved her- self worthy of her constitutional liberty 4nd the standard of her fathers. North Carolina.—The star of North Caro- lina beams upon the name of James Buchanan. The voice of haa) agg responds to bis claim to the Executive Chair, regarding the liberty of our country safe in his hands; confiding the sisterhood of States to his patriotisin and devo- tion to the Union ; awarding all honor to this great and good man in the name of North Carolina. South Carolena.—The time-honor'd State of South Carolina has proved her apprecia- tion of the Union by her electoral vote, cast for the statesman, James Buchanan. Long may her star reflect its light on the American nation, and her palmetto grace the land of the free! Georgia.—Power is vested in the people to govern themselves, so long as they respect the Constitution of this Republic aud maintain the sovereign rights of freemen. The State of Georgia, in her wisdom, has selected the noble son of Pennsylvavia, the Hon. James Buchanan, to fill the Executive Chair, the friend of law and order, as delegated by the Federal Government and acknowledged by the people as the perfection of our Union. * Esto perpetua.”’ Alabama, believing that James Buchanan will act jastly to all men, defend tho rights of every section, support the Constitution and up- hold the Union, bas confided to his honor her electoral vote. Mississippi, American in thought, word and deed, has established her claim to the heritage of our fathers; in her selection of James Buchanan tor the Presidency, she has bonored her right of suffrage and cag Eee the Union from Maine to California. She has illumined the star that glitters to the name of Mississippi. Louisiana.—Guided by the orb of liberty, Louisiana has sustained the Constitution and the Union ; in her selection of James Buchanan for the Presidency she has ect up a brilliant light unto a land that stretches in a cordon of sovereign States from the Atlantic t» where the be bears no sound save its own dashings. rida.—Florida has cherished the Union for the sake of the Union, and for the noble spirits whose blood has hallowed her soil. She has maintained the supremacy of the laws by ber adherence to the Democratic party, and evidenced her patriotism and devotion to the Union in her choice of our distinguished coun tryman, James Buchanan, of Fennsylvania. Texas, no longer the ‘‘ Lone Star,” now mingles her light in the great constellation of , her destiny is identified with our sis- terhood of States, her star glitters in the bla- zonry of the American flag. She has sustained James Buchanan, and thus honored the sub- lime principles of Democracy in the hands of the ple who elected him jg —In the selection of the great and good man, James Buchanan, Missouri has streogthened the bonds of our Union; we find the ship of State rising above a world of waters, which has been spreading out over the land. Missouri has adopted the doctrine of the right of man to govern himself—the only solid basis of all republican governments. Arkansas has set her seal to the cause of Democracy, in her selection of the time-hon- ored patriot, James Buchanan. Our trophied banners wave over this republic from sea to sea; the wilds of Oregon and Utah are peopled by the free, and brute torce is fading before the philosophy of the sge and the glorious light of the Gospel Tennessee, in the name of her own Jackson and Polk, confides the Union to the care of Pennsylvania. So long as the keystone shali remain in place, the sacred arch of liberty will be sate New Jersey has ever advocated the great cardinal questions of our republic—rights in- dispensabie to our national safety and the perpetuity of our free government. In her selection of James Buchanan she has lighted the lamp of experience: no sectional divisions, no geographical lines, no North, no South, no East, no West, in her great chain of unity and harmony. Delaware —We tread where heroes trod, and, as patriots, owe to posterity a duty wor- thy the efforts of our ancestors; Worthy the cause of liberty. Deeply impressed with this sentiment, Delaware has proven her loyalty and devotion to union, by her adherence to the life-giving principles ot Democracy; in her choice of James Buchanan for the Presidency ebe has ennobled our historic page. We need no Leonidas to detend our Thermopyle; while our people form a bulwark arouna the land, who would dare profare her altars, or touch with impunity the ark of her safety? ndtana has committed the grand features of our Constitution to the care of Pennsy! nia’s noble sop, James Buchanan. Indiana lives not for herself alone, but for posterity; the links that bind her to the Union the axe of intolerance cannot sever; calamit may check, but never destroy, the broad founda- tions of her free institutions. Idsnors has engraven upon her escutcheon the mame of James Buchanan, the American statesman, agsured that he will sustain the vessel in which we are all embarked on the troubled waters of the political sea; Tegarding the interest, honor and happiness of ail the States in the Union, without preference to a prong or Southern, an Eastern or Western oD Kentucky —With pleasure do I artic! in this manifestation of joy- Web jose shielded from the warring winds of political strife, and now methinks the ladies may evince their joy at the glorious triumph of their liege lords, as did the Roman matroms of old. I esteem it a high honor that I am permitted on this ocoasion to represent Kentucky— my own, my native State. Bravely has she rallied to the support of the Union and the Constitution. All bau to ber gifted son, the gallant Breck- inridge' He will prove a diamond of un- wonted lustre in the bright coronet of Democ- rasy—s statesman pure and impervious to the a the combined factiuns, baving in view tan ‘©, prosperity and jiness of the whole Union, and the Bronce of that record bright, the Constitution He comes to Join Buchanan, the statesman of enlarged ex- perience and pure and spotless life,—that most illustrious son of the glorious old Key- stone State, whom the people delight to honor. All honor then to Buchanan, and all henor to the land of his birth, the ever-faithful Penn- Ivania! Twas on her hallowed soil that enn frat proclaimed civil and religious lib- erty,— twas there that Jefferson first drafted the Declaration of Independence i—yes, there mortal Washington first took the oath to sup- port the Constitution. Pennsylvania has re- mained firm and true to her past bright re- cord. Well has she earned in the trying struggle just ended that proud and honorable appeliation—Keystone of the be- stowed upon her by that noble statesman who now sleeps amid the shades of Ashland—our gifted and lamented Clay. Pennsylvania bas remsined frm in the arch; ainst all the vandal assaults of fanatical a ceaheakebe: Yes, she has sustained inviolate the glorious superstructure of the Constitution Thou Atlas of the States, twas thine to stand And stay the fortunes of a failing land ; Assert berg to epee the true, And cause anew Aa lorie ed. tier Not unrequited shall that service be While speech is chainless, and while thought is California.—The golden sands of the Pa- cific echo back the names of Buchanan and Breckinridge, and California adds her link to ——— chain which binds the Union to- gether. The ladies representing the States that did not vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge then severally approached the Queen of the Festi- val, and, cou » Said each—* All Hail Pennsylvania. y sister (naming the State represented) greets thee.”’ rs. Pendleton, who represented Pennsyl- vania with dignity and grace, indeed, then replied to these addresses as follows : Pennsylunnia greets her sister States with ride and admiration. We are bound together y devotion to the Union. We have regarded saeredly and with reverence the precepts of our fathers. We have fought bravely for the rights of the whole confederacy, for our coun- try, as one in interest, one in destiny. De- mocracy, that glorious light now sparkling on each radiant brow, has burned steadily upon the altar of our country and flashed upon the nation’s heart. The violence of party faction, the bitter spirit of opposition, the heretical allurements of the fanatic, have alike been laid prostrate before the soversignty of tho people. James Buchanan, the stainless pa- triot, the experienced statesman, the great man, has been chosen by your favor to preside over the peace and prosperity of our beloved country. And high does Pennsylvania a the honor conferred upon her noble son. Ken- tucky, too, fair sister, now dedicates, her cherished son, John C. Breckinridge, to act as compeer in the national cause, proud of his talents as his spotless fame. The union of sister States are still around me Beheid ! we wear their light upon our brow, and re- fiect their matchless glory in our coronal of power. We know no North, me South, no East, no West,—all, all are alike if the prone gal- axy of States We fave gathered here to- night to ratify the Democratic ticket. But in our rejoicing we must not ferget the * Old Lin ‘igs’’ who have aided us tocleanse the political ee of our Republic from the leprous taint of disunion, and left undimmed the stars that glitter in the coronal of our sis- terhood of States. On the 4th of March, 1857, these stars will shine in all their brilliancy, the light of nations, the glory of the free, the hope of earth. The band played at appropriate intervals during the interesting ceremony. Subsequent- ly the delighted company were entertained by a short speech from Walter Lenox, Esq , who was compelled to respond to the vociferous calls made upon him no less eagerly by the ladies, than by the gentlemen present. Ar- terwards, at the call of the ladies, the Hon, F P. Stanton also delivered an eloquent and able address. The balance of the evening was paseed amid the pleasures of a soiree, in which all were happy. One not present cannot conceive the fine effect of this unexpected entertainment. We regret the want of facility in our pen for de- scribing such scenes, particularly on this oc- casion. Tae Damocratic CeLenration or YesteR- Day.—As wo went to press, yesterday, the Democratic procession was on its rounds, which ended at the City Hall, its starting point, at 5 o'clock p. m., after a visit to Georgetown, the Island, and Navy Yard. On its way, nu- merous sccessions were made to the procession in the shape of private carriages, some of them literally covered with flags, streamers and piquant mottoes. Much merriment was created by a carriage filled with ladies from aa Carolina, who had inscribed upon their anner— ‘Norra Carouina: “ Pennsylvania gave her a President; she owes him a wife. Let the Union be cemented ”” The sidewalks, the balconies, windows and steps of houses, were, everywhere along the line of march, closely packed with spectators The City Hall steps and the immense eastern facade of the Treasury presented a flower- garden brilliancy of appearance. being en- tirely occupied by the loveliest of women, as Democratic ladies inevitably are. In passing the White House & group of ladies and gentlemen were observed upon the roof, and in the supposition that the President and lady might be of the party, some most hearty cheers rang along the line of the pro- cession. Arrived at the City Hall on the return, a most eloquent address was delivered by the orator of the day, Walter Lenox, Esq We are unable to furnish our readers to- day with such sufficient extracts from this ‘fine oration as shall do justice to its author, and must content ourselves with « general notice. in s few introductory remarks, Mr. L maintained the right and duty of the citizens of the District of Columbia to express their opinions upon political questions. He then proceeded to show the true relations which existed between the different members of the confederacy, and that the struggle now agi- tating the country was not the mere strife of rival parties, but of fundamental principles vital ® the constitution The principal position, however, set forth and maintained was, that the evils which im- perilled the country were outside of the Con- stitution and laws, and that the great agencies and influences of the press, pulpit, and of the educated mind of the country alone could eradicate them. He presented the obligations of ‘American citizenship’’ as reaching every relation and pursuit in lite, and that this alone, acting in steady obedience to the Con- stitution and laws, and a comprehensivo recog- nition of the rights, interests and feelings of all sections, could rescue the country from impending evils, he oration, which perhaps occupied three quarters of an hour in the delivery, was re- ceived with the heartiest demonstrations of satisfaction by the audience, which, upon its conclusion, seemed yet unwilling to leave, and @ call was made upon Hon. Fayette MeMul- lin, of Virginia, who responded in a,few hap- pily chosen words; and shortly after the crowd separated to prepare for the closing perform- ances of the jubilee. THE ILLUMINATION. The illumination was general and bril- liant enough to make an appropriate finale to the celebration. The sidewalks of the Ave- nae and other prominent streets were occupied from 7 to 10 o'clock in the evening by throngs of spectators, men, women and children—in- d Bs pe people were on the streets than we ever remember to have before seen after night in this city. With the brilliant lights thrown upon the moving throng from the my- triads of illuminated windows, the scene mus: have reminded our French tellow citizens of the after-night brilliancy, life and gaiety of the Parisian boulevards in the mild season of the year. Among the many effective displays, the equare u the Avenue between Four- teenth and Fifteenth streets, attracted much attention, almost every house in the square being brilliantly illuminated. The many- windowed front of the Star Buildings, with a candie at cach pene of glass, threw out a flood of light as the Star establishment is bound to do! ‘The private dwellings on C street were very gonerally illuminated, and in some instances with glass chandeliers, Presenting a must tasteful and beautiful appearance. Reese's establish ment—that first class Dem- ocrat and fellow—at the corner of Sixth street and Ponnsyly. avenue, was the sub- ject of general admiration, being illuminated with sixty-four large gas burners, artistically rene » the central figure of which was a buckshead and horns, from which brilliant gas jets emerged , Further = x Avenue, McDermott's large manufactory, from its prominence and the number of lights » Was m most various oodward, Savage and made super! displays. Among the finest of the night were some made by those who are not paftizans at | all, or who have heretofore earnestly opposed the Democracy, but who came forward in a handsome spirit of iotism and national feeling to make the demonstration worthy of , the occasion. | The Seventh Warders, with a public spirit that does them credit, exhibited some illumi- | >Y nations that, perhaps, sur; anything seen | in the city p othe ine block known as | Clarke’s Row, for instance, which, through its entire extent, was illuminated from attic to | bagement with the finest effect. The beautiful display on Capitol Hill is no- | ticed elsewhere; and though we have no re- | port from the Navy Yard, we have no doubt that our Democratic friends there—than whom , there are none more spirited and patriotic in | existence—gave 4 good account of themselves. Nationa TogatRE.—The Naiad Queen, the great attraction at the National, was given last night with increased attention to ee of scenery, costumes, and general details, and | was witnessed with unbounded expressions of delight by an audience composed largely of strangers, who were now beholding its magic wonders for the first time With each repeti- tion we note some added beauty, as might be naturally expected in a piece calling for such extensive mise en scene and elaboration of detail. We advise every reader to avail him- self of the opportunity to see this consumately effective spectacle at least once during its representations 'o-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock the special representation for the benefit of families takes lace, and to-morrow night the favorite Jef- Fereou, who has catered so successfully to the amusement of the public in his great part of “ Schnapps,’ takes his benefit. We bespeak him a bumper. On Tuesday night next the Harrison and Pyne Troupe appear in Lucia. F.rd is a man- ager ‘‘ as is’’ « manager.
