This is the first political greeting that I have ever re- telved inmy life. It touches my heart deeply. coming, as it does, from my near friends and neighbors, (“‘Hurra! hurra! hurra!”') My residence in the oity of Washington has been very agreeable to me. This city was laid out ua- erthe eye and direction of the immortal Washing‘ou; ‘and I trust the city will continue to advance and prosper ‘with the growth of the Union, (-Good,” *‘Thut’s the tatk,’? «Burra! burra!’’) until it shall become worthy of the Union, and of him whose name it bears. I trust. gentle- gnen, that so long as I shall continue among you. the same triendly relations will ever be cultivated, whether I shali continue to occupy the position ot a soldier or be elevaved to that of chief magistrate. (*That you will be, that you ‘will be,” from many voices.) Gentlemen, tho high honor which the Baltimore Convention has conferred upon me over my illustrious but friendly rival:—the chief magis- trate of the nation, and the Secretary of Stute---who are already known to fame---(“Hurrs for Fillmore!” “Hurra! durra! hurra!"’ --That’s the talk!’ “Go it!"?).--was whoily unmerited, and will be cause for my making still greater efforts to merit the approbation of my country and of the convention. (Cheers ang clapping of hands.) I know that much anxiety and many trials are yet to be passed through, before the voice of the people will be heard in Fatification. Whether it shall confirm the action of the convention or not, I shall be satisfied, for I know that the choice must fall upon « deserving man---one worthy 9, your confidence and support In whatever positioa I nay be placed, it shall continue to be the great aim of My life to discharge my duty to my country. (*‘Good! good!" “You are the man,’’ “liurra for old Chapultepec!"") IfI shall be elevated to tho distinguished position for which I have been named, I sball seek so to conduct my self ax to merit the confidence which you have bestowed upon me in advance Gentlemen you find me greatly fatigued and exhausted this evening. (In point of fact, the old Gencral had been awake the whole of the night previous.) I can only thank you kindly for this eungratu- lation, the first of the kind which I have ever recsived in my life, and. for the present. I bid you all goud night.

The assembinge then proceeded to the residence of Hon ‘Willie P. Mangum. who presented bimseif at the window, apparently in high spirits, and addressed the crowd.

As the music died away, and the great collection of people were about to depart, disappointed, the sleeping giant had aroused, and clad in nothing but Ais shirt, he appeared at a chamber window, and in s s0- lemn, touching voice spoke as follows:— SECRETARY WEBSTER'S SPRECH.

Mr Web+ter was frequently interrupted with cheers | for “Mr. Webster,’ “for the man who ought to have been President,” &e. After he had retired, there were loud demands that the | band should proceed to Soward’s, to Stuart's, to Gov. Jones’, &e., but the music stopped, and the crowd dis- | pereed. B.

They pro- fer defeat under his banner to success under one who does not command their confid«nce and respect. ‘The Advertiser is struck with hardly less surprise than Tegret. and fears the decision forbodes disastrous conse, quences to the welfare of the whig party and the country. ‘Lhe Courier says the nowination fell upon the innabi- tants of the city like a tuneral pall; whut it enid weeks ago it has no reason to unsay now. Its opinion cannot be whisked about at a moment's warning by the caprice of a few individuals, when the blood has been kept at fever beat for six days in a sort. ot black hole of Calcutta, It will wait the return of the delegates before deciding whether to sustain the nomination or not, ‘The Mail says the effect of she nomination of General Scott upon the crowd in State street, was like the D- pearance ot a contribution box in chureh. only the scat- tering was more general and indiscriminate. hig Ratification Mocting at Philadclphtia.
