“% + Birth-Dey Celebration of Thomas Paine. The one hundred and twelith anniversary of the ‘birth-day of Thomas Paine, was celebrated by a ‘ball ang supper, at the Chinese Rooms, in this city» on Monday evening last Daneing commenced at nine o’clock. A' out one hundred and twenty ceuple, participated in the amusement. At twelve o’clock the company ad- journed to the supper room, and partook of an excellent repast. Wheo the cloth was removed, ‘the President ot the evening, Mr. Edward J. Webb, delivered ap addrere on the we audeervices of Thom: Paine.

Let me ask, as regards his theoivgi- velopinions, what was bis crime? tis opinions were those of Pythagoras, of Plato of Bolingbroke, Gibbon and Hottie; they were the opinions of Jefferson aud feranklin, and, more than provable, of Washington himecit. Ln a word, Paine’s crime, in the eye of priest- t wag, and stil is with the clergy, no crime to disbelieve, but with them the sin isin propa- geting sentoments mimionl to their cloth!

However that may be, it ise consolation to Know, that opinions based on geolo- qical disc» veries are spreading far and wide.

And itis good for society that there are boid spirits who overstep the Mmite which wee and educetion fix to the opinions of men in every etate ofsuciety.

Is it because he did not endeavor to establish a new and independent go at bee ad not honesty of purpor of uaderstanding? Or, is it because the clearnees of his mind, and bi fearless determination enabled him to expose to the world the infamy and crafc of kingly governments, the sophistry of priests, and their shameless hypocrisy?

In con- olasion, let me reiterate some of the benefits flow- ing from the labors of Paine sud thet bold, honest jase of men, Who 10 couspicuoasiy ficured in estab- 1g the American revolution.

It isa terrible but a most glori rife for nation to struggle for liberty, and it lerouls to shake off her oppressors. In one great particular, all governments resemble each other very much—that 1a, 1 of power. The more power you them, the more they will claim, until they bave destroyed all liberty. Among tl many rvffering nations of Europe, look at poor Ireland, ‘The people of that country once had energy, but what arethey now?

While we remem berthat visitto Chapel Hull, im the old North State—while we remember the unaffected hospi- taluies of the good people of North Carolina— while the many agreeable incidents of that visita- tion are too gratetul to forget—we shall also re- member the President and his family, and the plewsure and the instruction imparted to us from 1ng in their society on the journey out and on the return. As a volunteer historiographer ot a social visit, we perhaps appreciated the delicacy of our position, and they, by their confidence, made it easy and delightful. Hence, in part, our good wishes for President Polk and tamily. Long life and happiness attend them. i A beautiful sister of the beautiful lady of the Russian Minister is married ut the Minister's house to-night, as we are informed, and quite a numerous party of distinguished personages have gone up to witness the ceremenials. . We ure to have two inauguration balls—the whig. bail proper, and the ball without distinction o| arty. oth, we have no doubt, will be well pa- tronized ; but we believe and hope that the ball without reterence to party, will take the pre nium. The whigs were the first in the field; but the com- bined organization are in a fair way to supersede, them; for we suspect they have the supportot a con- toling urfluence of the ladies; and in affairs of thia Kind, us in all other matters, where this advantage is gained, the reault may be anticipated. We pre- test avainst receiving the new President as the President of a party; for a mere party President Gen. Taylor is pledged never to be. He subserib- ed to no convention—the convention subscribed to him. He 1s free to take his own course, and we believe that he will do it. ‘The great measures of the day before Congresa remain in a state of uncertainty. We yet expect that the bill of cheap postages will pass. ' If acom- mittee were to come on trom New York they might be of service. We have doubts of the branchmint—because California may be urged in the Senate, if the bill should get there, as a more preferable place for a mint than New York. As pinwall’s bill has a bed chance to get through the Senate. The bill abolishing the slave trade 10 this District may pase the House; but there it will ato; or if it reaches the Senate, it will be laid on ¢ table. We give up the territories for the present session, of course. . Wasurnaton, Feb. 1, 1949. The Public Printing—The Inauguration Bub— Grog. This morning, in the Senate, a resolution was passed, to extend the time for receiving proposals for executing the printing of Congress, until the firat of March. According to the advertisement, the time expires next Saturday. There was an ef- fort made in the House to take up and pass this measure, but it was resisted, on suspicion that, if the time be extended, being so near the adjourn- ye | ment, no selection will be made from among the bidders, and that the next Congress will return to the choice of printers trom among the political edi- tors in Washmgton. If the resolution of the Senate be staved off, or rejected by the House, the con~ tract system will be continued. Vice President Dallas has caused his name to be erased from the top of the list of managers of the National Ball, an opposition to the whig inau- guration ball. He will attena that gotien up by the political friends of General Taylor. Seveaty subscribers to the latter were obtained in the House cf Representatives in one day. The House, to-day, abolished the grog of the sailor in the navy. The allowance was waly two gills, costing the government a cent, and Jack 1s to receive four cents as commutation for his voluntary or involuntary total abstinence. G. Wasuinaton, Jan. 30, 1848. Corporation Dinner tothe New York Mumtcipat Delegation. The corporate authorities of Washington gave @ complimentary dinner this evening, at Coleman’s Hotel, to the New York Corporation delegation, for come days in the city, in behalf of the branch munt for New York, the bill for which is upon the general calendar ef the House.

He expressed his gratetul thanks for the kind reception of him- self und associates by the citizens aad city au thorities of Washington. These hospitalities were | not expected, for they had come to further the pas- sege of a bill (the Branch Mint) of great impor- tance to the interests of their city. They were giad to say that the bill was ina good position; j and though the efforts, particulatly ct their es teemed representative, (Gen. Tulimadge,) now present, they were indebted for the prospect of the final passage of the measure.

To-day | they had visited the home and the tomb oi Washing- | ton—they had been fo the sacted shades ot Mount | Vernon; and he spoke of the glory of the great founder of the republic, and of the patriotic senti- { ments awakened as they stood betore the sepul- ‘ cbre where his mortal remains repose. it | renewed expressions ot the thanks of the com- mittee to the Corporation of Washington City, for their kind hospitalines, Mr. Franklin closed by proposing © The Mayor and Common C and thore of New Y. turn your welcom sppointed ” (Drank lurie—‘ Hall Columbia The Mayor briefly responded, and in a well put comp ntary statement of his services, not oaly in bebalt of New York,but also of the liberal appro- prations to the city of Washington, he pro; “ The beaith of General Tal 17 Murio—“ A life on the ocean wave’?
