MOVEMENTS OF FATHER MATHEW. THE CALLS AT THE CITY HALL. RAs Taking the Pledge. p henh, Rb PreS oo THE MEETING AV THE TABERNACLE, ‘The Apostle of Temperance held a levee yester- day, in the Governor’s room, of the City Hall, from ten to one o’clock, and was visited by thousands; and none were more welcome to him than the poor and humble who have lately come out from Ire- dand. About noon, a committee, (consisting of Messrs. Smith, Cowdin, and Oakes,) from the Various temperance asociations of Boston, waited upon him. , : Dr. J. V. C. Surru, chairman of the committee, thus addressed the venerable man :— enexo Sin—The fame of an extraordinary in- you exercise over men of depraved habits, in turning them from the dvbasing vicv of intemperance, to a recognition of the rexpounitbilities we are under to society, was, long ago, wafted trom the old world to t new. Although straugers. we are the representatives of the advocates of wdoctrine you have taught with gratifying success in your own country. This dolega- m is from the North—the metropolis of New Eng- Jand—a region in whieh the most abundant natural produetions, according to the deeiarations of a travel- are. granite and ice. But, sir. the hearts of the bitants are neither as hurd as the former, nor as ‘old as the latter. It is our expross business to ascer- tain when it will suit your convenience to visit the city of Boston’ When may the frievuds of temperance, an army of well wishers to humanity, a rival there, to strengtben and encourage them ? Whi you as benefactor of the age, we pray that a Ticsine may follow your missiou tv America, whieh contemplates the noble purpose of raising the drunkard | from degradation to @ position of respectability, from | misery to comparative happiness, snd from moral death to intellectual lite. Father Marusw responded as follows :— Gentixmex—i heartily thank you for the kind at- tentions you have thought proper to bestow upon an individual so humble and so feeble as myself | feel that] have much todvio Ameriva.in behalf of the cause of temperanee | have but just arrived in this reat city—I intend to visit Aibaoy, and shall be happy to visit Boston, and shall probubly be able to do so arly in August. | trust, gentlemen, that although wo are how strangers, we shall sova become better a quainted, and, in the meantime. you will please to con- ‘yey to those whom you represent, my sincure thanks ‘for fending this delegation so great w distance to ex- tend te methis invitation Aniplo notics will be given in regard to the precise time of my visit to your city. At half-past one o’clock he went to Brady’s da- Fold a rooms, in Broadway, and had his ikeness taken to gratity tis friends. It hangs there emong the likenesses of the emiment men ot the day. He then went out to drive, to see some things | about New York which stra: of regard. i" Previous to the reverend gentleman leaving the Irving House for the City Hull, 1a the mornin: he was waited on by a deputation of his owa countrymen, who expressed themselves delighted, at the rece;tioa given hun by the brave people of erica. Mr, McGrath, on the part of the depu- tation, read am address, which he was deputed to deliver, on behalf of the temperance society of which he is president. Father Mathew replied in his usval ailectionate manner to this address. ir en'husiasm k, ew no bounds, and they shed tears of joy on beholding him ‘They pressed for- ward with the utmost eagemess to shake him by the hand. Many of them kueit before him aud kissed his hand, in despite ot every effort of his to event it. One poor fellow, named Francis OrConnor, came forward and asked for the riedge. Father Muthew replied, that though 1t_ was not his intention to have administered it there, he could not refuse, and aecordingly he directed O'Connor to kneel down, and repeated the words of the pledge ‘to abstain from all intoxicating drinks, and to discourage intemperanee in others,” ai the postulant repeated it after him ; when Father Mathew gave him his blessing, and the poor man went away, delighted beyond measure that he was the Lead to take the pledge from Father Mathew in America. Ina few minutes after, an Irishwoman Mary Fagen, knelt at his feet, and likewise too! the pledge. Three or four more received it, in- eluding a man who had been on a drunken gpree, and bore the marks of it on his face. seus coasider worthy amed i Kk ought | your he pene cD con AP PARTS ta ee ee oe a 8 I manera Ct AES MEAD AT Se ' THE NEW YORK HERALD.

But he must first take the soul out of his body before he could separate temperance from reli- gion for man was made in the image of God, and al- cohol degraded him below the brutes. He was too glad to agree with men in what they held in common, to waste his time in trying to find out in what they differed. It was seventy-three years since the Declara- tion of Independence came forth from the State House in Philadelphia, when t he was a boy, and in first inspirations of liberty with shining stars, and the eagle flying in middle. (Cheers) Eu- rope would not hesitate to admit that, though the older country, America is the mother coun- try of. temperance. (Repeated cheering) It was because Americans prized it. that they honored Father Mathew, who had struggled and labored till he enrolled nearly six wiilions of bis countrymen, was sorry to have to inform him that in this “ excel- sior” city, there were numerous groggeries. He loved Ireland. He visited it once om purpose, and at the time when be did not intend to go there (Langhter ) He will not say how much intemperance had to do with this.

Mr. Marsh, then read the following address from Chancellor Walworth, Pre- sident of the Anieriean Union, who was staying at Saratoga, and could not be present on account of the illness of his daughter :— Dean Sim—Permit me, not only as an individual, but also as President of the American Temperance Union, and in bebaif of all the friends of temperance through- out the United States, to weloome you to America. And may that kind and merciful Providence, which has Protected you in your passage across the cecan; and ‘ou In safety to our shores, preserve your life, ith, and your strength, during your sojourn among us. Your labors in the cause of Christian charity and benevolence, but moro particularly in the promotion of tempe © in your native laud, ha made your name familiar to us, not only from the com- mencement of the glorious temperance revival upon the banks of the Shannon, in August, 1839, but from that earlier period, when you were indectrinating your fellow townsmen of Cork in the true priuci pies of tem- | perance—total abstinence from all that can intoxi- cate—at your semi-weekly meetings at the Horse- Bazaar in that city. And. allow mv hore to say, what certainly is not undeserved praise, that it is the com- mon opinion of the friends of temperance, and of most of the friends of Ireland on this side of the Attantic, that your continued and disinterested labors in this cause alone, have done more to relieve and elevate the oppressed and down-trodden peop! ful isle of the ocean, than the noble of {all the seif-devoted patriots, of whore servi sacrifices in her caus Ircland has 80 much reason tu Mt to one of your ances- andard beater of Eng- land’s fourth Edward in bis contests with the house of Laveaster, for the throne of a kingdom.

Men, women, and childrea, of all grades ingsociety, thronged to touch him, as if he possess- ed some Liculing power. Maar. of the most distin- ished citizens thought it a high honor to shake hands with hun, and a host of ladies were intro- duced to him, ameng them Mrs. Laman, who pre- sented him with several copies of a temperance tale, written by herself. PATHER MATHEW AT THE TABERNACLE. Last evening, pursuant to advertisement, a recep- tion was given to the Apostle ef Temperance in the ‘Tabernacle, Uroadway, by the American Tempe- rance Union. ‘The building was pretty well filled, but not crowded. ‘The fine brass band of Mr. Din- je performed several airs, with great éclat, bef the proceedings commenced. Atten minutes be- fore eight o'clock, Father Mathew entered the Ta- bernacle amidst loud cheers. He wasaccqmpanied by the Mayor and the committee of arrangements, who retired, for a few minutes, to a waiting room, when the Apostle of Temperance aguin inade his appearance, which was the oe for a renewed burst of applause. He looked remarkably well, and cently improved in health and spirits since his advent to our shores. The band then struck up “Savourneen Deelish,” in exquisite style. Rev. Dr. De Witt, of the Reformed Datch Church, then opened the proceedings with prayer. The Seeretary of the Temperance Union, Rev, Mr. M. aid he wes sorry thet th the anniver- sary ef the declaration of American independence had desened the number of the audience: had no re- port to read of statisties—be had only one report to and that was, thet Father Mathew was come.

Tus Inman Fier The Chickasaw, corres- pondent of the Arkansas Intelligencer, of the 9th ult., under date of May 1th, suys:—Nothing of | much importance has occurred beyond the Indian fight which took place a few days ago. It grew | out of a depredation of the Wi ws, who, it seems, stele about 30 head of horses from the De- lawares and Caddoes, besides a large number they | had stolen from the citizens of Texe The Dela- wares and Caddoes went to the camp of the Wi- chetaws, and tolked with them nearly the whole of a day, urging them to give up their horses or others in their places, but they refused positively to do so, | and made fan ot them, There was large gang of horses in sight, and the Delawares and Caddoes | concluded that they would drive off as many as they could. They dashed in among them, and started off with about sixty head. The Wiche- taws followed and made an attack upon them—the | former revorned the fire, and the action continued about an hour. Two Caddoes and one Anardarkie | were killed. The Wichetaws lost about I in all, and the Caddoes came off with the horses. A few days before this happened, Col. Upshaw, the Chick- | asaw agent, had given two Kechie chiefs and se- veral warriors of that band some tobseco to go and see the Wichetawa, and persuade them to bring in the horses they had stolen from the Texans; and they promised to go and try and prevail upon the Wichetaws to comply. Since th ht Col. Up- shaw gave the Delawares and Caddoes a very posi- | tive talk, and told them under no circumstances would they be permitted to fight and steal in the Chickasaw district. There are bat few Chicka- ws west of Fort Washitaw, although the t t of that district is west of the fort least two million of acres, and some is of the best and :nost beautiful country | ever have seen.
