EW YORK: HERALD. er York, Monday, August 26, 1844. The Great Patriotic Festival at Pittsfield. We give to-day a full and graphic report of the Proceedings, orations, speeches, addresses, and feasting at the grest “ Benxsumex Jupines.” This patriotic outburst came very refrechingly at this hot seasonof the Presidential contest, and we accor- dingly made arrangements for enabling our thirty- five thousand readers to share its blessings with the thousands who assembled onthe spot, So here it is to-day—a delightful sort of a midsummer post- prandial entertainment—varied, cool, fragrant, and refreshing to the thirsty soul, wearied with the eternal “Clay "—* Polk —and “the Tariff.” v mpalg: We ave now in the very midst of the conflict. Nothing is talked of but the Presidential election, and the only speculation afloat worthy of the name, is that on the relative chances of Clay and Polk. Even “ Lady Suffolk,” and her rivals, have cedsed to be the great subjects of conversation in the sportiog circles, and instead ot betting on “*Fashion” and “Columbus,” the knowing ones are offering wagers on Harry of the West, and find takers who are as ready to stake their fortunes on the chances of “ Young Hickory.” “ Will Polk carry his own State ?’—“ Can Clay carry one out of seven States that are named ?”—** How is Penn- sylvania going %”—‘ Will the Whigs carry New York %” These and a thousand similar questions are heard onall hands—in every bar-room—at every corner of the street—in every store—at all the tavern-doors from Maine to Florida. Every thing indicates that the contest will be infinitely warmer and more keenly and closely fought than was anticipated at the commencement ofthe campaign. The Whigs have fairly awoke, | and in all directions are exerting themselves with | the greatest zeal. Their opponents, the Democrats, | are equally busy. It appears now that much of the coolness with which the nomination of Mr. Polk was received, has been thawed away, and many even of the oldest friends of Mr. Van Buren are | working as hard for the new candidate as ever they did for the eld. And so every where we see the evidences of the enkindled epirit of the masses of both parties. Ash-poles and hickory-poles are rising at every cross-road, and in front of every ta- vern. Mass meetings, attended by crowds, and ad- dressed by numerous orators, are held all over the country. Orators, minstrels, poets, baliad-singers, broken-down editors, blacksmiths, shoemakers, and political lazzaroni of all sorts, are hurrying to | and fro, scouring the country and hastening from gathering to gathering, like hungry vultures fleeing tosome battle-field widely and thickly strewed with the mangled bodies ot the dying and the dead. | And how do the respective chances of the candi- | dates appear to stand? It is quite clear that the party newspapers cast not one ray of light on this | interesting and universal subject of enquiry. Ac- cording to the whig journals there is not the slight- est doubt of Mr. Clay’s election—every State is go- | ing out and out for him—and his return by an im- | mense majority is certain, The democratic party | prints are equally sanguine and unscrupulous in | telling all sorts of lies. Every election return is | distorted and falsified by these political prints. | And the public quite aware of this—it were very strange indeed if they were not by this time —place no sort of dependence on the statements of the organs of the factions. The intelligent and | sober men in the comiunity, properly look to the | independent press for correct information respecting the results of the State elections. We have been | giving from day to day, reports and analysis of the | returns, collected from authentic sources and pre- | pared with great care and the strictest impartiality. | And the result of our investigation has been a con- | Mauch Chunk, Penn, [Correspondence of the Herald) Mavow Cuusx, (Penn.) Aug: 21, 1844. The Coal Regions of Pennsylvania—Their Curious Features and Character. ‘ 1am now in one of the most picturesque villages in Pennsylvanie, aud have seen to-day one of the tichest portions of the coal regions of the State. Mauch Chunk is the most singular looking lit- Ue town I ever was in. It is embosomed in the mountains, through which the Lehigh river flows to the Delaware at Easton, and is built along the deep gorge made by the mountain creek, called the Mauch Chunk. The town has quite a lively, business appearance—has a Court house for the cousty—and a very fine hotel, kept by Mr Connor in capital style, The air here is pure from the mountains—and the weather has been for some time of the most beautiful kind. To-day we procured a carriage from Mr. Connor, and horses from another person, and visited the coal mines on the summit level. There is a little village on the hill, consisting of contractors, work- men, and others employed in the mines, number- ing several hundred persons. It is called Summit Hull, and has a post office. The distance, from Mauch Chunk to the hill, is about nine miles, through a beautiful, wild, but narrow valley, be- tween the mountains. In the midst of the mines, on the very ridge of the hill, there is a very neat hotel, where one can get good refreshments. It is kept by Mr. John Simpson, and the hot green corn and mulled porter which he gave us toa lunch, after we had traversed the coal mines, were the best I have tasted ina longtime. Mr. Simpson, also accompanies the visitors frequently to the mines, and to-day he had half a dozen tra- vellers from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, who were delighted with the curiosities of coal mining. The Lehigh Company own all the coal fields n this region—they employ a thousand persons, if not more—and about 700 fat, sleek-looking mules, who draw the ears from the mines to the summit level, and then draw them up from the Lehigh river, nine miles, after the coal being put aboard the boats on the canal or navigation. The mines are well worth.a visit by every traveller pussing through this part of the courtry. Last week they drew forth nearly 200,000 tons, being about half as much as is mined from all the mines of Pottsville, which is thirty miles distance on the Schuyl- kill river. The fields of coal here are of immense thickness, varying from 10, 15, 20, 30, to 55 feet, laying open to the heaven, and easily reached after uncovering a small thickness of earth and rock. In some portions of the mountain, the coal lies under a heavy field of slate, under which | there are pits or dark caves dug to some distance Here the men wear lamps in their hats, for it is quite dark—but generally the coal, after the eu- perincumbent earth is removed, is dug out and car- tied off in open day. The transportation of the coal to Mauch Chunck is very curious. There is a railroad down the mountain, nine miles, all inclined plain. Here the cars, nine at time, go down by the power of gravity—and then the mules are used to take them up. I understand, however, that a railroad with steam power is building to perform this work. Altogether this is the most beautiful, wild, pictur- esque, and curious portion of this region, and al] travellers ought to stop one day, and taste the pure air of the mountain, not forgetting the fresh hot corn and capital porter of Simpson’s snug little airy Mountain House, situated in the midst of the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Curpasr.z Omtssion.—The Directors of the L I. | Railroad have hitherto neglected to place at the different crossings sign bourds of the usual kind, | as a warning to those who might incautiously ap- proach them and incur danger thereby. A Yew | daysago a most melancholy accident occurred, and vietion in our mind that in all the States heard from | the contest will be the closest we have ever yet seen, and that the decisive struggle will in all pro- | bability take place in this—the “Empire State.” And in New York, we do think that the whigs thus far have the advantage. They have been much better organized here, for this campaign, than they ever were on any former occasion. They began the business at an early period. ‘They have been expending money freely in the feeding and clothing of wandering minstrels and orators — Bran-new flags without number have been bought and hoisted, bearing the names of ‘Clay and Fre- linghuysen,” in the breeze. Large sums have been paid for tallow-candles of all sizes for the purpose of illaminations. In every possible variety of way the whig electioneering has been kept up through- out this State with zeal, perseverance, and success. | The democrats on the other hand, have been | rather apathetic and indolent. The defeat of Mr. | Van Buren at the Baltimore Convention, broke up | to a considerable extent, in various quarters, the admirable organization of this party. Many of the old leaders have kept out of the field, at least, till | very recently. It must certainly be evident te all candid and impartial observers, that in activity, unanimity, and enthusiasm, the democratic party in the State of New York, have been considerably behind their antagonists, But the democrats ap- | pear now to be making up considerably, and re- cent indications would appear to show that they will, after all, make one of their old bull-deg fights before they relinquish the field in November next As far then, as we can judge from the indications in all quarters, the chances of Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk are on a very nicely adjusted scale of equality throughout the entire Union, with the exception of the State of New York, in which, at present, on | this fine morning of the twenty-fifth day of August, | one thousand eight hundred and forty-four, the Whigs have not the slighest perceptible shade of preponderance. In such a state of affairs, any | movement of both parties in this State becomes | iavested with immense ingerest. Tnis accounts | forthe intense anxiety with which both parties re- | gard the great mass convention of the Whigs at | Albany to-morrow. That will, indeed, be a most | important event in the progress of the cam- | i paign. A very influential turn may be given one way or the other by the course of the leaders there. There’s no knowing what effect Mr. Web- ster’s speech may have. One thing is certain, | however—that is, that the coming election will be | a decisive one for many years to come. If the | whigs get worsted, we think they may calculate | on a long term of r: lief from the cares of Govern- | ment. And if the democrats get beaten, what with | that and their own eternal intestine squabbles, the | same fate may, we suppose, be safely enough pre- | dicted for them. However, we anxiously await | the report of the speeches of Mr. Webster and others at Albany, which we shall pudlish in full at the earliest possible moment. Cray anp Wansrer.—The threatened expose of Mr. Webster's tormer friendly feelings towards Mr. Clay, and critical examination of that great states: | man’s character, appears to excite a good deal of remark in various quarters. The whole thing is absurd. The idea that members of the same party may not blow hot and cold with respect to each | other, as circumstances require, discovers a degree of intolerance quite unpardonable in the present enlightened age. Axy More OnGans Wantep t—The democratic party have sundry reasons to rejoice in their full representation by the press at Washington. They have the “ Globe”—the “Spectator”—and the “* Madisonian”—all so excersively zealous for “‘ the cause,” that they are scratching each other’s eyes out, and are 0 busy killing each other, by way, we suppose, of “keeping their hand in,” as the Hi. bernia logician said, that they appear to have for gotten that there are any whigs left with whom to carry on the conflict for the security of * our glo- rious institutions.” Ouro Rivew.—At Pittsburg, on Thursday, the Onto River had thirty inches of water in the channel, | several weeks. as the writer of this was present, begs leave to say that he is of the opinion that it might have been prevented by the precaution above stated. The sooner this negligence is seen to the better. In all that relates to railways, as well as steamers, too much vigilance cannot be exerted to secure person- al safety, and whoever has the mortification to wit- ness one such deplorable sight as the mangled re- mains of this nature, owing to, we believe, the oversight of pai concerned, feels doubly desi- Tous for security against a repetition of such a calamity. Common Councr.—The Common Council, will meet this evening, (Monday,) after a vacation of A full report of sayings, doings, and conclusive action, will appear to-morrow. We anticipate much, and hope our anticipation may be fully realized. Dancine at Newrort.—By late accounts of the most authentic kind from Newport, Mons. de Kor- ponay has met with every encouragement. Al- ready he has procured no less than sixty pupils, and arrangements ona scale of magnificence are in progress for a grand ball, which is to come off very soon. ‘The whole talk of the beaw monde is about Mons K. and his beautiful dances; between that and the perfection of ball dreases, the ladies have their hands full just now. Tue Twenty Mice Race over THe CentREVILLE Counse.—We perceive that an alteration-as to time of entry, Scc., has been made for this great race, so as to give an opportunity for those willing to enter to have sufficient time for training. There is no doubt but that it will be one of the greatest feats ever accomplished in this or any other country, if it should be completed Pawmo’s Orera Hovse.—This evening Dr. Lard- | ner will commence his series of subscription lec- | tures and optical exhibitions, with his inaugural discourse, which is now given for the first time in America. The moderate terms of subscription, and the popularity of the entertainments, will in- sure a considerable attendance. Indeed we learn that a large number of seats are already engaged for the entire course. Those who desire to attend should make early application to-day at the box office. POS Proretier Ticress.—This steamer, on her pas- sage from Philadelphia to New York with several | Passengers on board, broke one of her propellers off Never Sink,|and was towed into the bight of the Hook by the steamer Orus. Fisntne Excurston.—Steamboat “General Jack- son”—this steamer is chartered to-day by Captains | Richardson and Yeats, for an excursion to the Fishing Banks. The temptations are strong, the weather is cool and refreshing, the prospect of good sport is encouraging, and the Captains are obliging and attentive. See advertisement. Visiroks.—Captain Hunter, of the navy; Gene- ral Humphrey, of Michigan, and General B. M. Lowe, of Huntsville,;Alabama; and the Hon. L. H. La Fontaine, late prime minister of Canada, are at Howard’s. To Tue Lapres.—Ot all who have labored in this age to promote the comfort and welfare of those “whom man was born to please,” we do not know any that have done more than the inventors of the “ Artemian Brace,” which is a perfect substitute for the corsets which have destroyed so many thousands of the fairest forms. This invention is highly extolled by the medical faculty, and de- servedly so. Itis for sale at the inventors—Parsells and Agate, Broadway, corner Park Place. Ladies call and gee it. Dre. Honsick’s Leotvaes.—The novelty of these lectures, combined ywith the attraction of the splendid illustrations, has created an interest in them quite unparalleled—in consequence of which, Dr. H. will give another course. For par- ticulars see advertisement. More Boston Lingwarity.—We learn that Amos Lawrence, Esq, of this city, in addition to the liberal donation of five thousand dollars, which he some time since made to William’ recently made to the samo institution another donation to the same amount. Berkshire Jubilee—Grand Rally at Pitts- Meld of the Emigrant Sons of Berkshire— a Eloquence, Poetry, and Hospitali- Ye Preparations on a very extensive scale have been for several weeks going forward, to celebrate an event that is destined to make a deep and lasting impression on the inhabitants of this romantic county—the ip-gathering of her sons, scattered | abroad through the whole extent of this country ; and the only feeling of those who have had the good fortune to participate in the gratifying pro- ceedings, is that of extreme pleasure and approval, It is not perhaps, so wellknown as it should be, that the county of Berkshire lays claim to the pa- | reatage of an unusual uumber of men,who have in | their public career, not only done credit to the | Place of their nativity, but to their country at large. | It would be tedious to recapitulate all who adorn this list, but when we mention the names of Bry- ant, Sedgwick, Channing, Dewey, Betts,and Spen- cer, a fair sample of the host ot those well known names who belong to this place is afforded, and who would form a list too long for detail. We un- | derstand that not more than a year has elapsed since | the happy thought of an assembly of the Sons of | Berkshire originated with a few individuals of this | city, proud of their connection with this beautiful | and distinguished county. No sooner was the pro | ject promulgated than it was caught up with avidity. Old Massachussetts echoed the proposal, and num- bers stepped forward with creditable zeal, to for- | ward the undertaking ; but beforeggoing further, a | few words relative to the locale of this truly com- | mendable celebration. | ‘Phe town of Pittsfield, the capital of Berkshire | County, is situated towards its western extremity, | and near the source of the Housatonic river. It | was originally settled about the year 1740, and has gradually, but steadily, been keeping pace with the | general progress of the coumry, and is now a pro- | ising and fast rising town. The population | amounts to about 1,500; contains about 200 houses, | four Churches, a Bank, a Medical Institution, an | extensive and flourishing Academy for young | ladies, and no less than four newspapers are pub- | lished each week. Nothing can be more beautiful than the scenery of this county in general, but that which presents itself to the eye from the town of Pittsfield is eminently so. Situated on an emi- nence in the centre of an extensive plain, 1t com- mands a prospect of a most diversified and roman- tic kind. For miles away in the distance, the un- dulating surface of the fields, swells into gentle hills and sequestered vales—there is nothing flat, stale, or unprofitable—crops of every kind teem from the rich soil, and a hue of verdure delights the sight, which is at last intercepted by the majestic piles of the Green Mountain range, which form in bold re- lief,a margin for the lovely central valley, all round the horizen. These hills are clothed wich verdure, and forest timber to their loftiest summit. There is nothing meagre or barren to mar the harmony of the view, and altogether it is a faithful and grand emblem of the intellectual fertility of the region, of the enterprize and elevated character of this dis- tinguished section of the New England race, whe are proud to hail it as the land of their boyhood’s home. Thursday and Friday last were the days dedi- cated to the Jubilee of the ‘Sons of Berkshire.” A committee, appointed by the county, had made arrangements, most judiciously, to give as much eelat and honor to the occasion as it was possible todo. On Thursday morning Pittsfield presented an animated appearance. The arrivals of the trains on the previous evening by the Great Western Railway, which passes through Pittstield hetween Albany and Boston, brought legions to partake in the proceedings. sieeorg | to arrangement, a com- mittee of the citizens of Berkshire, were in wait- ing at the Town Hall, to give a formal reception to the Emigrant Sons of that county, and a register provided gin which were inserted their names, as ‘an interesting memorial for future days of the hap- py event which brought the distant and far scatter- ed, but affectionate sens of the soil to their beauti- ful native hills. A procession was formed which marched out to the “Jubilee Hill,” a short dis- tance from the town, where it was proposed to hold the exercises cf the day. The weather, however, proved adverse; about one o’clock the distant mountain tops were enveloped in misty clouds, and a copious discharge of rain from the lowering sky changed the order, but not the gaiety of the day. At two o’clock P. M. the vast assem- blage met in the Presbyterian Church, where the Rev. Mark Hopkins, President of William’s Col- lege, addressed them in a disconrse of a nature suitable to the occasion ; the Rev. William Allen followed it with a poem composed expressly for the service, in which he recounted a host of names long honored—treated pathetically of “the days of other years,” and spoke in terms of congratulation to his audience of the auspicious career of their fathers, their home, and their restored brethren. The re- mainder of the day was passed in the unceremoni: ous méeting of friends at the houses of the cii zens of Pittsfield; and it was hard to tell who rel- ished the delight of that evening most, the Emi- grant Sons of Berkshire to revisit their homes, or the citizens of Pittsfield to hail their return. Friday morning was ushered in freighted with expectation, but not without apprehension as to the threatening appearance of the weather. Rain had descended in torrents during nearly the whole preceding night. The ground was saturated with wet, and the fore part of Friday its drooping at- mosphere and mist shrouded mountains contrasted strongly with the vivacity of the crowds that thronged the hotels, and the numerous detach- ments of strangers who cheerily chatted in the dwellings of the citizens. Up to eleven o’clock, the uncertainty of the day prevented any decision asto when the exercises should be held. The church used on the previous day began to be fillea athalt past nine o’clock, and at half past ten, it was densely crowded by an audience, the greater part of whom consisted of ladies—the gentle- men, of course, courteously declining all accom- modation until the ladies were comfortably seated. The glorious uncertainty of the weather afforded cause of some amusement, and extensive specula- tion. No keen broker ever scanned the rise and fall of stocks—no shrewd lawyer ever turned over the leaves of the voluminous brief with more searching acumen than the weather wise peered through the dimed windows, or turned to the wea: ther-cock to see what way the wind blew, The folks in the gallery, strongly impressed with the value of seats,most pertinaciously adhered to them, and wherever a temporary vacancy occured by the tenant’s curiosity to have a peep at the clouds, it was filled up bytwo or more watchful can- didates. Numerous enquiries were directed to the marshals as they now and again became visible in the crowd by their badges of office, one of whom at last ascended the pulpit stairs, and announced that the collective wisdom had concluded a pro- cessional march to ‘‘ Jubilee Hill.” In a few minutes the church became emptied ; the procession, headed by a band of music, form- ed outside in the following order:— e The President of Latte and the Sheriff of th ounty. The Vice Preaidenth The Orator of the Day. - The Clergy—the New York Committee—the Berkshire County Committee—the Berkshire Agri- cultural Society—the Faculty of William’s College—the Faculty of the Berkshire Medi cal Institution—the Emigrant Sons, and for- mer residents of Berkshire—Citizens. On arriving at the hill, we found the eee already covered by a large assemblage; and the number of vehicles was truly tg Seats were placed for many thousands in the form of an amphitheatre, on the gentle ea fronting which stood a spa- cious platform fortne speakers; and most of those composing the procession, except the body of the citizens, Who Were too numerous, and who ac- cordingly feil in with the crowd. On the platform we noticed amongst others, Governor Briggs, of Massachusetts, who acted as President for the day; the Hon. Ezekial Bacon; Judge Dewey; Judge Betta, of New York; Judge Walker; Dra. Childs and Adams; Rev. Mark Hopkins, D. D.; Theodore Sedgewick, Hsq.,N. Y.; W. Macready, Exq., the era Protessor Dewey; and Hon, Timothy es. The meeting was called to order by the Presi- dent, and opened with singing and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, the Chaplain ; a OhelF, com- posed of residents ot the county, sang several beau- tiful odes, prepared for the occasion by the Hon. Ezekial Bacon, Mrs. Sigourney, and others ; after which the President announced the Hon. Josnva A. Spencer, who addressed the assembly thus Farenps ano Feicow Citizens—We have come in an swer toa mother’s call. The dispersed sous and daugh- ters of Berkshire have returned to their own loved homes and kindred, and we have altogether come up to our own Jerusalem to wership. Ii meeting of kindred spirits, which has broken up the deep fountains of our hearts, ani es are coming forth in streams of joy, and gratitude, and love. Filled with these emotions—in justiceto my own feelings—in justice to you—I can only address you as fathers, moth listers, brothers and fri ; for in these relationa have we been welcomed, and e others canjteel our joys. Since ourreturn “ we y to use n the sun hi language ‘of your county committee, “ s and set where it rose and set in our childhood; we have looked upon thesh, grein we beheld in the days of cur youth ; we have the old dwellingsof our into the ind saw face to but not the face of youth—we have drunk from the grown bue! trod the y by the old fw and ineadows—have rambled in ourold bunting and fish ing grounds—we have red our thirst the same pple pluc! from the iteréd nround the old loooked into it, bat saw not the social school dame, nor our little schoolfellows, We have run over the racing ground of boyhood, bathed in the same stream—we have worshipped in the old meetingshou: aa! heard preached the goxpel ef peace. We ‘ave met few familiar fuces; many more half recognized count nances, but stiila greater number who are strangers unto us. From our evening path we have gone to revisit the resting places of our departed friends—have real tho in- scription over their tombs—listened to the small still voice from their graves, end our hearts have held sweet andsilent converse with their departed spirits, which seemed to hover over us. In all these scenes, indeed, has bean awakened the memory of joys that are past, both pleasant and mournful to the soul Until this our return, we did not fully realise how ardently we loved our own native land, or our kindred who has remained here to preserve cur old household, while have gone out into other portions of this land.’ We hay come to rejoice with you while gathering round the hearths of our mothers, while with gratulatione andjf nd recollection, and w(th greteful hearts, we find you love us not the less of our going away from you, and your hearts shail be satisfied, for the home of our childhood lives graven on ont memoties; itis the joy and pride of our hearts that the chain that binds us to you is more than golden, and we each would have it, the longer it is, grow brighter and brighter, Let it be extended till it encircle the whole world. (Applause.) How true it Js that the sens of old Massachusetts have reason to revere and love theirnative soil, In truth, as was well and elo- qeently said, she is the mother of amighty people; she has held on her way with silent, but firm tread, to great- ness; she is the mother of a noble race of men. Her hills, her vales, her limp.d streams, reo.ain as th wert ze these shall not remain longer than the great principles which are at the foundation of her institutions. It is now only 224 years since me peta fathers first reached the shores of the new world, and effected their landing on the barren rock of Plymouth. ‘The history of theirsacri- fices, their deprivations, their sufferings, 1s familiar to all. They came ftreighted with riches more enduring than gold or pearls; the deposit of the great principles of civil and religious liberty. On this soil they planted them; they have taken deep root and steady growth, ond under the protection of God they shall spread until’ they cover the whole world. After this memorable event, more than ahuadred years elapsed, before this forest, held by the red man, was felled by the sturdy axe of the pioneers, and this beautifal part of the State,then called Hampsbii was settled. Not till 1725 did our, ancest i settle on borders, and to Sheffield belongs the honor of first affording a shelter to the Pioneers, and was the first in- corpora ed town of this county. Mr. Spencer then en- tered into some historical details relative to the first set tlement of Be ire county, and of Stockbridge, Great Barrington, and Pittsfield, meking honorable mention of the names of Ashley, Sargeant, Whiting, and Edwards, and their noble efforts to christianize the Indians of that district ; of the early wisdom of the Massachusetts hag lature in providing for the clerey, and education. The first Printing Press was established in 1798 in Stockbridge, and although it did not usher in the “Star in the Kast,” the western « Star” shortly appeared and shed ite mild light on the Berkshire hills ; and in confirmation of this interesting statement let me read geome ‘fresh news” from one of its early numbers, dated March 19th, 1793, under the head ef *' Oath of office administered to the President of the United States.” (Reads the force whioh,from its quaint style and homely remi forced much amusement). Not long after this, and issuing from the Press of Pittsfield, the “Sun” arose in the firmanent of this county, (cheers) and its rise g Ided the hill tops and illuminated the vales ; and among my earliest reco! Jections is that of the post rider bearing along these lights of the mind. [can almost now hear the sound of his nnouncing his welcome approach. Here too, other peared and shone with a brightness, before which its of the primeval forest retreated. Of these a long catalogue of names might be mentioned, but they live in history, aud in the grateful memories ef ‘posterity. In this county many of her daughters have done virtu ously and well ; but one there is who hos far excelled them all, (applause) who kas done honor to her illustrious aire, to herself, and to her country, and her works do fol- low her. Compared to the rapid peopling of the great region of the West, that of Berkshire was slow but on- ward, The lonely valley and the hill side were adorned by the log hut and fields of waving corn; nor was the meeting house, nor social intercourse neglected. What else than what wehave seen, what we do see, could be the result of such a beginning. About this time the northern settlements were considerably harassed by the incursions of the Canada Indians, and the bnilding of Forts Adams and Williamstown was the consequence ; the latter commanded§ by @Col. Arthur Williams, the younger, in 1750. So late as 1755, the settlers were com- pelled to fly before the stealthy foe, and take refuge in Stockbridge with the loss of some of their number, and these serious trials were not finally ended until several years after the treaty of peace was signed between France an| England, when several settlements in the county were then incorporated. Connecticut, Massachu- setts, and Rhode Island, gave up many of their sons to peo- plethe lands ot this count: dthey were found equal to every difficulty. The colonial difficulties with the mo- ther country did not pass by unseen or unheeded by the keen glance of these men. In 1775, the inhabitants of the several towns of the county held an assembly at Stock- bridge, at which Joshua Ashley was president, and "ho mas Sedgewick secretary, and the performance of the bonds mude by this assembly in Berkshire, resulted in the declaration of independence. (Applanse.) A cove- nant was agreed upon to be signed by the people of the county, engaging not to import or consume any goods manufactured in Great Britain until their constitutional rights should be restered—(ay pein) observe the strictest obedience to all constitutional laws—to promote peace, love and union among each other, und to refuse all intercourse with those who would not sign the covenant. Mensures were taken for promoting the general welfare. But what shows the rapid growth of the county after the French war is, that two regiments were raised in it, one commanded by Col. Patterson of Lennox, the other by Col. J. Brown of Sheffield. When the news of the bat tle of Lexington arrived, they instantly set out for thy field, not by railroad—but on foot, and in eight hours were on the road for Lexington fully equipped fo the fray. For several after, so long as there was need of them until the closing, the most of these men remained in the service of their country. Berkshire in no way faltered in her duty in this ax well as her other gi.rious achievements. Pence came with 1783. but the Berkshire people were destined to new trials of their patience. In 1786, domestic insurrection *taised its fiendish form, threat- ening anarehy to the commonwealth. But our forefa thers were equal to the emergency. In a deciaed action, they put the insurgents to flight, but not withont loss of life, at Sheffield, on the 27th July, 1787. Apparent quiet was restored, but not as formerly. Agperities among neighbors and division among families remained for seve- ral years. Fourteen of the insurgents were taken prison- ers, tried, and senienced te death ; but to the honor of our country be it spoken, that even in the infancy of her in- stitutions, no man for political opinions suffered by the common hangman. (A voice of the most stentorian kind here called out “‘huzzah,” which provoked a loud peal of laughter.) These records are among the brightest pages of our country’s history, and tie intelligence, the enterprize, which dictated them, are felt not only here, but'all over the world Colonel Williams was the founder of the seat of sound learnin, in this county. He fell as commander of a peel ment on the 8th of April, 1755, near the shores of Lake George, at the early age of4l. He had for many years followed the ocean, but relinquished that profes sion, and took the army, when he became distinguished for hia skill and fa we when in command of tha Massachusetts line of foris on the Connecticut river, where he owned large tracts of lands, and witnessed their settlement. He aimed to be their benefactor, and became the benefactor of mankind. A few days befere his ond on his march towards the Western frontier, he resentiment of his death, and made-his will, leav- ing a residue of his property, money and honds to be put to interest, and the fundto be applied to establish and support afree schools in Williamstown. This trust has been most faithtully executed. In 1783, the trustees ap plied to the Legislature for an act of incorporation, and obtained it, also a grant of $3,500, as well ns $2000 from the inhabitants. it was then under the charge of B, Fisk, well known in the annals ofthis State. In 1793, on the pe- tition of theTrustees,the schoolwas erected into aCollege, and this was brought into existence in ten years after the termination of a bloody war—that greet seat of learning of which Berkshire may well be proud. Its onward ca- reer is known over the earth, and the light of its educated men ia not unheeded, for the history ot their country and their own are written together. (Mr. 8, then alluding to several distinguished names of men educated at this col- lege, entered into a detailed sketch of the collegiate and missionary career of Miller, Hall, and ‘Hich. ‘ith whom originated the Ameri Board of Foreign missions, and who were the first missionaries js auspices, renewed their work among the heathens and predicted for the cause a gloriou: future )— And may not Berkshire well rejoice in the prosperity of this her metropolitan village. Although Fite eld ‘was not the first to begin, she 1s the first in the county in the career of brotherly love—of business activity, and the quiet but growing improvements} visible within her borders. Pittsfield will long, for her commodious stores, deeply embowered dwellings, spacious pleasure grounds, bear an honorable position. ere is the home of refinement, and as we emigrants well know, of hospitality too. Us terse In the midst of all this enchantment, herfar famed elm lifts its lofty branches to meet the sun. Rich with the lore of ages—il trees had tongues, what tales could it tell. We should, could it bat speak, listen to its teaching, ik how, like us, ite erm peered above tl ere the birds in its branches, and red man rested at its —how it grew and lifted its lofty head above its fel- lows, and became their king—how one by one in quick succession they have fallen--ho~ many winter's winds whistled thi its branches before it ime the forest king; but it is dumb; it will not answer, and we must conclude our wise reflections by saying we are not the first of our race whose questions do not admit of solution. (Applause) With pleasure too, we have regarded its Medical Institute, going forth with healing on its wings. Let her fame and her utility be commensurate. Wehave witnessed improvement in every department of life. Her hills, her vaileys, her limpid streams, remain the same ; the former greatly improved by the hand of man, while the latter is madu the source of teeming wealth, and peo ples ever awake to their interests, willifurther press them into their ce, and draw still greater w these never fading sources. These few inciden from the history and present of Berkshire, brought forwards me only by way of remembrance, so that thank falnesa and gratitude may be engraven on every heart. Like those of the rest of New Englond, the “sons of Berkshire go into other countries, bringing with them the principles of their fathers into every State of the Union; wherever they are found their impression is seen and felt. We live in an eventiul age. Since the com mencement of our national existence, we have witnessed greater advancement In the arts of civilized life, than was seen for a hundred years before. The applica tion of steam to navigation, to locomotion, to every department of mechanical labor form an’ era more marked than any that preceded it. Naval science has marked{everyiline and pvint on the ocean, developed the benefits of the mariner’s needle, and made the stormy sea the great high way of nations, the common aby de ¢ of all. Who can calculate the vast power imparted to steam to do good? ‘The steam press—the steam ship— the railroad car—all these means ef advancing eur na- under some ernest tren tpestonthentemaamnash ianaamnay banat ot tional God's in prepagreaped poses par oe American dda out the experiment of gov. tan creas bse wagogel—to ethat theycan, without or Nobles, Their own will, rule the country ont change atten ny and without dictation. (Loud applause.) How this can be done concerns'us and our children. Our govern- ment, unlike any other, commenced its existence with all its proportions fully developed; it remained but to build thereon the ruction, and put the diff-rent parts in harmonious operation. "The great builders are to their reward, we, their children, succeed to the mberitance. to enjoy it and make such improvements as time and the advancement of the age would make it de- sirable to supply. How can this be done beiter than by studying the charvcter and inatitutions ot the New Eng- land'people. For although the mightiest governments of fons ait have passed away, and ure only to be heard of by history, yet, do we hope ours shall endure for ever. They were Pagan, they bowed to idols of their own crea tion, Weare a christian people—we worshipthe uncre- ated, living God. They, like their tituler deities, have come to nething ; but our God ever lives and re Their religion was mythological, unsound and visionary; oor wale is in the Bible, and founded on the rock o! ages, h eadures from everlasting to everlasting. Let ua love, then, the Bible as our father’s did ; let usilove its light and cause it to shine, not in Bible learning, but by imbibing the spivit that dwells in it. Without a knowledge of the Bi can be no civil or religious liberty. No where else can the civil and religious rights of men be so well learned, (Mr. 8. went on av length to show that the religious feeling of the people of New land was the sole cause of these liberal rnd exe: institutions.) With regard to another element in the character of the Ne ngland people—that of univer- ral educution. Next to religion, education lies near the heart of a New England man ; it is carried with him wherever he goes, and the blessing descends to his chil- dren. Your schools, peadenies, and colleges—so many means by law established for education, bear ample tes- timony that New England holds an onward step, that she feels her obligation to provide a great fountain of know- ledge that ings be borne by her sons and daughters who may yet go forth to people the mighty west, and infuse new energy into those who have gone before. Sho will ‘then look back, and thankfully remember the great influ- ence she will always exercise on the destinies of her country. Com with other nations, our sun is yet hardly risen ; its light is but now seen gilding the eastern horizon. It may not rise in our day ; and at the close of how many centuries it may reach the zenith point, it is not given to us to know ; but, reasoning from the past to the future, and considerin; the improvements of modern times,it is not too much to say,that when it does,it will be far beyond the loftiest imaginings of the most comprehen: sive intellect. These views have not been taken by me to pamper individual vanity or national pride, but to en- force on the minds of all their solemn responsibilities ae sons and daughters of the great country, and to use exer- tions to meet them with manly firmness. It must be ob. vious to a correct observer that physical and intellectual man, in our day, has far outrun the religious man ; in- deed so truly wonderful are his achievements, that there is reason to feara profane self dependence, instead of a dependence upon God, Ne rg ed the furions winds, the might currents of rivers are obstacles ; the vast Atlan- tic, of old the terror of the mariner, is now crossed from one place te another with such a rapidity es to make the two countries but one Bas Niet and within each other's call ; with these within our power, our ideas are ied. We became impatient of restraint for real orjsupposed defects in the system of go- vernment ; we have not wanted the constitutional reme- dy, but nulification has taken its place. Here lies her danyer—it isthe substitution of nulification and violence for the certain but little slower mode of correcting that which experience has proved to be an evil; (applat and forthe remedy of this great evil, let the religi mai roused to his duty; let him send forth streams of Bible, softening influence; let the word of God havea stronger influence on the hearts of men, and teach them that obedience tothe laws oftheircountry, and to the civil mogistrate, is among the highest duties of a citizen Where in the world, if not in New England, in old Mas. sachusetts, in our own dear loved Berkshire, amidst all these hallowed scenes, peopled as they are by a homoge. nious race of men, can’ the great principles.on which our government rests, be diffused through the land. ‘These are works on which the mind and heart can labor togeth- er;and though the profane may rave and the infidel scoff, yet the influence of these people shall we know united and peacefully draw many to it. In conclusion, let us offer our united thanks to God for all the benefits he has poured out upon us, and for placing our existence in this eventful age ofthe world—with this great, this blessed, this free country, for our homes; Jong, long may it con tinue the home of the free, and send forth the true spirit of civil and religious liberty to other lands, and be the raise and glory of all the carth. (The last sentence was paraiy, ronounced, when a peal of loud cheers, and all sorts of applauding symptoms burst forth, and ‘were re- newed from time to time for several minutes—showing how well the patriotic sentiments of the address were echoed by the assembly.) . The Hon, Ezextat Bacon arose, and after apolo- gizing for intruding upon the audience uninvited, proceeded to call their attention to that part of the oration relative to their early Newspaper Litera- ture; and in illustrationfof its character and spitit, read some graphic extracts on the politics and manners of the time, which elicited a good deal of merriment. One of the old papershad for a motto the following distich :— “ Free ag the savage wartior roams his wood, Or finny millions cleave the briny flood.” After the Choir had sung, “Come to the Sunset Tree,” composed by a lady for the occasion, C. Sedgwick, Esq , read a long poem, the production of another lady’s pen, and having for its subject the “Berkshire Jubilee.” | ,_ Several lively addresees interspersed the proceed- ings on Jubilee Hill, where the procession moved after the benediction, at half past one, to enjoy the rest of the day at the festive board, before entering upon a description of which we beg the reader will pause with us while we take breath, and take the path round by the foot of the Green Hill towards that attractive spot where not only an intellectual feast awaits thousands, but something else hardly legs inspiring to the whole man, albeit designated by the somewhat flat and mundane appellation ot “Creature. Comforts”—than the most, brilliant flashes of imagination. For the gratification of those who may have inore appetite for poetry than asity> we have reserved the tollowing bonne bouche by ra. Sigourney, and which, although sung be- fore the benediction was pronounced, we trans- plant here as an appropriate finale for the elevated exercises on the Hill, and also a fitting prelude for the evening’s entertainment :— Ode, by Mrs. Sigourney. [Written for the occasion.) ‘They come! they come ! by ardent memory led, From distant hearth stoncs,—a rejoicing train, And hand in hand with kindred teeing tread Green Berkshire’s vales and breezy hills again. Back to the cradle of their own sweet birth, Back to the foot prints of their flowery prime, Where in the nursery of their native cart! ‘They caught the spirit of their mountain clime; The free bold spurit, that no chains can bind, The earnest purpose that no toil can tame, The calm, inherent dignity of mind, ‘The love of knowledge and of patriot fame.

Enfold them warmly in thy fond embrace, And with the counsels of true wisdom guide, That like themselves, their yet uncounted race, May be thy glory as thou art their pride, THE DINNER. é In point of magnitude, the arrangements {or din- ner surpassed any thing which before came under our observation. The Committee resotved to ac commodate all who should feel disposed to join with their friends at the social table, took care that there should be no lack of either room or rations. As there was no building in Pittefield, or indeed any place else, spacious enough to contain the party, it was necessary to take seats outside. For this purpose the locality chosen was the Gymna- sium—a beautiful green lawn just adjoining the Young Ladies’ Institution. A structure, extending over about 2500 square yards, was erected thereon enclosed by an awning to ward off both sun and rain, should it come, as was not unlikely. Tables in parallel rows, affording seats for over two thou- sand, covered the whole space enclosed, which was an exact equare. Close by the centre of the more elevated side of the square, and at right angles with the other tables, stood one sufficiently high to command a view of the whole assembly ; this was set apart for the President, the Vice Pre- sident, the Clergy, and a few other select per- sons who took @ conspicuous part in the morn- ing’s exercises. Mr. Wright, of the ‘Tontine Coffee House,” Boston, sarviied the dinner, which was sent. down the whole way from that city, via railroad, and was found on ar- rival tobe ‘in a fine state of preservation.” An- other marked feature in this extensive festival was the total absence of every kind of spirituous drink. Adam’s ale, from the crystal spring, at which the wild deer slaked his thirst, in those ‘distant one when the Red Man gave the name of Pantoosack, M3 run for deer,) to that region—and from whose ountains the emigrant sons of Berkshire, were wont to take the draught which cheers but not in- si rig in the days when they went gipseying, when— ey flew through the pleesant fields, traversed so oft, vie Wes morning tare, when their bosoms were oung 5 Where the i a of playmates resounded go soit ; Where they heard the sweet strains that the corn-reap- ers sung. In a very short time the tables were all occupied, a blessing was asked, and immediately, according to the old proverb, * help thyself and heaven will help thee,” each, in the most free andjeasy manner, proceeded to couple his own assistance with that which was a asked of Gotl Those who imagine that stimulating drinks are necessary for promoting hiletity on such oceasions, would be un- deceived bya contemplation of the sons and daugh- tera of Berkshire on this one. A lively conversa- tion was kept up during the intervals ke tion; the hum of voices blended its softening infla- ence with the more acute staccato notes of the knives and forks, whilst the clear tenor of ‘‘waiter,” “here sir,” constituted a master piece of melody, not surpassed even by any performance of John- ston’s band—composed of colored men, whese exe- carne wt aa te ee aa i taste impressed us with a higher opinion , after an indus and neerering dis- posal of the edi the Sppitites guests be- Ing appeased, and the din of dental operationssome- repens (ce vot Mi +husetts,) nesixent (Governor Briggs; jassachueetts, arose to addrees them in conformity with the duties of the honorable office of their President, with which they had invested him. The Committee of Arrengements hed put in his hand aschedule of what remained for him to do at the head of that great family table, (cries of “louder,” “speak up, if you please ”) and, said the President, ia a jocular nianner, (evidently intended for the ears of those who said they did not hear) asthe welfare of a family depends greatly upon their propriety of conduct, you are requested to maintain order, and preserve as much tran- quility es pessible, (laughter aud. ayplause) and | am much mistaken if in ti! family, before the sun down, you will not have some first rage speaking. TT! are some boys here who can do that thing up well. (Loud laughter) | see by the arrangements that there are to be some mtroductory remarks by the President , but, in- deed, { do not know well what towxy. Foreigners are ac- customed to say that when we Yankees get her, we talk about nothing out ourselves and Yankeé land. Now, what else should we do? You know very well that it ia often bad policy for families to talk about other folks — (Roars of langhter) When children, however, gather about the old people, they think they have aright to bring home the news—to talk about the late deaths, mar- riages, aye, and the runaways toe. (Renewed laugh- ter.) And why should not we have onr privileges on this glorious occasion? We should thank God for behold- ing euch a scene as this. Here,around the Sally board, are collected the eons and daughters of this lovely land that have been scattered over 18 out of the 26 States ofthe Union. We may well glory in the result of this enter- prite, and if there are any strangers present they will in- duige us in saying that we meet as a promising family to have our children spread so far over the four quarters of the land, and gathered together spi from those distant . We have heard from our friends yesterday in so- prose as well as cheerful poetry, 80 much about the honor of good old mothcr Berkshire, in which they spoke of her beautiful scenery, even when spread around us, of which her children have a right to be proud. It was said thet within twelve hours after the news of the battle of Lexington reached these valleys. the sons of Berkshire were on their way in martial equipment for the point of danger. Frum that moment till the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, no great battle or sanguinary struggie occurred at which the Berkshire men were not fou (Appla After nar- ii far relati ent on: sich was the value of its services, that wherever t name of the “blondy ninth” is remembered, the Berkshire standard will be houored. We had lately a bloody war in Florida, in which many Berkshire men took a leadinj part, and not a few tel! victims to the foe in the fatal forests and swamps of Florida. Aone the rest, Major Child's nam is well known; ia that fearful warhe caught a malady which the most enduring constitution has herd- ly been able to battle with ; and with pride let us speak it —in-all the course of that bloody, disastrous and most in- human war, he never did an act of which he ought to be ashamed, or which could tarnish the honor of a soldier. (Loud applanse, and a cry of—‘could you speak louder 7”) I wish I had lungs to speak, if what I say were worth it ; but if you lose it, you will not lose much, my friend (Laughter) Our Agricultural Society-is not lon established, but there is 1.0 class who have not benefitte by it—farmers, mechanics, and business men, and what is better then all, at periods when political feelings ran highest, an¢ although parti pretty equally divided, they have never moved the same good will of the people, and for that we have sworn fo congratulate each other.— But I was admonis! by the committee of ar- ipogementa that spee ‘were to be made; let it our object to see who will make the best in the fewest words. ‘The few remarks that I have made were intended to awaken dear recollections ; Jet us talk to each other of our welfare—-I know our bre- vbren from abroad bring back good accounts of the interest of the world, and we welcome them.

He then said, being unable to pro- ceed, I will call upon brother Boswell for a sentiment or speech, or both, and will only add that the fumily expect iim to do his duty. s The Hon. Mr. Boswett, in a speech of about 15 minutes complied, and gave the following senti- ment—‘‘ The friends and scenes of our childhood.” Applause.) The President then propose: The County of Berkshire—rich in beautifal scenery; she rejoices in her children, and, as she welcomes them back, in the language of the Roman mother, exclaima, “These are my Jewels.” (Thunders of applaina) i The Prestpent—I call upon Dr. Holmes to recite an ode, and will say to him, get on the table, asa mode far in advance of the old way, which was to get under the table. (Laughter.) t Dr. Hotmgs of Boston, spoke for some time tek the evident delight of all, and recited a poem—a sparkling gem of hisown composition, for that day, and was enthusiastically applauded. Indge Dewey addressed the meeting at some length, after which, there were loud and enthusias- tic calls for Theodore Sedgwick, Esq., who at last ‘arose, amidst acclamations ot “get on the table,” “to the table,” ‘mount the stand,” with which edgwick complied and said: sir, fora free country, is rather a dea) g; (laughter,) to tell a man not only that he ¢! and mu:t talk, but aseign his the spot from whence to doit, ! nad really hoped that where there are so many refulgent luminaries, I could sparkle in obscurity, — Although | have not studied what [ shall hevitate ; for I hold that a man must have a heart like an ice berg if he could not find something on this occasion. This, sir, is more than a mere Berkshire jubilee. Every man who foes forth from this meetingis a delegate of the at family of New England, sent forth to people the reat West. These deiegutes from foreign lands here as- sembled, it might be imagined, are called upon by the ge- nius of New England to give an account of their fidelity to their: acred princi; ‘You are, no doubt, Mr. Presi_ent, as g.eat a foe te heriditary as I can be; but you are too mr ch o} a farmer not to believe in the value of stock—to kaow the value of breed; and you are no true son of Massachusetts if you do not value the breed yeu belong to.

Mr. Macreapy, after a slight hesitation, com- plied to the letter, made his way to the speaking point and thus spoke :— Mr. President and Gentlemen—I could almost say bro- thers, although not a Berkehire brother—for assure you the heart of an Englishman who can carry with him intel- ligence, beats as warmlytowardeti is country xa the best American could desire “(Cheers.) I amteken altogether unawores.

(Applause) It is ajlittle fuble, and al- though of Eastern origin, it will seek to the point at which I would aim, and I hope it will be responded to by all. (MM; then réct'ed a short poetic fable with energy, and descended from the table loudly appladded.) Several excellent speeches were delivered by Mr. Field, Professor Dewey, Hon. Timothy Giles, and Rev. Mr. Lord. The young ladies of the In- stitution afforded a rich treat by singing an ode, composed by one of their members, and several hours passed thus in the most agreeable manner,and the separation did not take place until the gelden rays of the setting sun were intercepted by the wes- tern hills, and wend hi carcass of twilight iol claimed that that festive and memorable day had closed—not to be forgotten—but to be treasur- ed in memory amongst many others, which are a green in the recollection of the Sons of Berk- shire.
