‘The Burns Festtval. On Tuesday evening was celebrated by the Burne Qin, at the Astor House, the anniversary of the im- mortal bard of Scotland—Robert Burne—whone name and songs are as deathices as the pages of Shake peare or Homer—a name that belonge not only to Caledonia, but to all humanity. The entertainment was one of the most magnifi- | go * cent ever served up in the Astor House, and that is | what the: teying much for ita excellence. In addition to all the luxuries of a New York banquet, such as ix usually provided at the Actor House upon great oc- easions, there were the following Scotch dishes ;-— Beotch farrells, cow’s head cheese, Lock fine her- eng, fricasseed tripe, mince collops, oatmeal cakes, Rootch haggis. ‘The wines flowed in profasion, and were of thé choicest vintage, and of every variety, followed up by the nectar of a Scotchman—whiskey punch, hot and strong, from several huge bowls.) ‘The ornamental ‘confectionery illustrated the fol- ede hea Genius of Poetry Moding Borns at the ; Willie Brewed a Peck o’ 5, Man was Made to Mourn; John Anderson my Jo; Birthplace peg Auld Lang Syne; Tam O'Shanter; High- lary. Over the Chairman’s head was hung “ the Union Jack,” which was all right for the eons of Scotia, who are for the most part loyal and true to the flag under which they were born, no where their hot may be cast in the world; but, at the same time, the emblem of a rule which Burns never liked, and which called forth the most bitter invectives of his pen. Behind the chair, and ander the British flag, ‘was also a fine likeness, in aupperency of the great poets and at the lower end of the room were the Stripes and Stars,” and another likeness of Burne in transparency. The officers were as follows :-— President—Charles Gould. First Vice President—Joseph Crmaingham, Vice President—Vair Cirehogh. Secretaries—George Farquhar, Christopher Heiser. To Mr. Farquhar the reporter is indebted for at tentions and facilities; also to Mr. James Somerville, @ former secretary, to whom the Burus Club owes much of ita success. A piano forte was placed in the centre of the room for the purpose of accompaniment to a eee club, consisting of the members of the Burns Club, who adde greatly to the enjoyment of the evening by their vocal powers. Dodworth’s Band was also in requisition, and played several of the sweetest airs ef the glorious old bard. Immediately’ after the th was removed, it struck up “ Loudon’s Bonnie Woods and Braes.” The President, Charles Gooid, Esq., then gave the the first toast, as follows :-— The Day we Celebrate—It iv enough that we know it ax he birthiay of Burns. Band—" Kill brose of auld Seot- The Presipenr, in rising to propose the second toast, said >This evening shows that genius has its hour and time, and that we are met to celebrate “One of the few the immortal names, That were not born to die.”” In Great Britain and Ireland—in America, North and South--in almost every part of the world, the name of Robert Burns is held in re- membrance this evening. (Applause.) He was not blessed with learning, or much of this world’s goods; but on him was thrown the mantle of genius, and in him dwelt the fullness and ingpiration of poetic power. They were called upon to corafort them- selves, so that‘ clither hearts this night there may not be in all Christendom.” The President then gave the toast as follows: — The Geniue of Burns—Like the layerock of his own heather braes, who ‘‘singing, still soars, and soaring ever sings,” throngh the wide empyrean it rests only at the Fportals of Heaven, whence song-bird and poet-gift alike aim bith.

Airs—‘ Hail Columbia,” and ‘ Yankee Doodle.” Mr. Gray sung “The Union for Ever.” The Presivenr in giving the last of the regular ‘Yoaste said, that in preparing it ay had been gorely d—human language seemed to have been ex- ed in praise of woman.

The Crareman then called on the first Vice Presi- éent for a sentiment, when Mr. pas tl C ls eit Rog and said so President and Gentlemen—-Before proposing agoast, Iwill make « brief remark or two with reference, more especially, to the character of Burns aa a man. I believe there is scarcely another name in the annals of literature which awakens such emotion in the universal mind as that of Robert Burne. Min- gied with our remembrance of the poet, there arise many sweet and bitter fancies—memories of his life- long struggle with poverty—his high-souled manly | independence—the sincerity and truthfulness of his character—his great heart, so fall of unutterable tenderness, and men seem to md to his name with a warmth * and enthusiagm which is excited by no other, and | which seems to me to be the result of an instinctive recognition of the manliness of his (Applause.) It is true, there have been, and pro- batty still ave, those who are disposed to judge him severely ; there are those who enumerate his faults and frailties, ond discuss his weaknesses and imper- fections, i much self-complacent commiseration ; and there are those who seem to me to belong to a class of self-constituted, moral and intellectual eur- veyors, who stand ready, with note book and com- | sees, to give the precise dimensions of any great pen which may pass in review. out heart and intellect, and all the constituent ele- ments of character, in their different proportions, with as much ease and accuracy as though they were measuring tope or other a goods, I humbly om to ate | Ligeia ike pe finiatad for latter class ; they ma; compaent to compre- hend the animating mectuniane God forbid that our opinions of such men as Barns should be dependent upon the verdict of such judges. Frailties he had, for he was human—and weaknesses, | perhaps begotten of his very strength. But when we remember what we know, and when we reflect how much we never can know, of his struggles with adverse circumstances, as well as of his heroic con- fiicts with hirnself, till nature failed, and his great | heart was broken, we must be ready and willing to acknowledge, that notwithstanding the frailties of his nature, and ina pediment, Robert Burns did give the world “ asau- rance of aman.” Carlyle has classed him among his heroes, and he says of him—* He is not a mourning min; he shakes his sorrows gallantly aside, bounds forth victorions over them.’ And sir, it is this heroic manhood that makes the name of Barns a magnetic word among men. Men feel a fi lowship and brotherhood with him, They feel gr. fal to him who a | and fearlessly asserte the dignity of manhood. He there can be no rank on earth above that of tru manhood it“ the rank is but the guinea stamy Others, be and since, have taught this truth dnt none ever taught it more effectually, or illustrated it more practically. Indeed, Mr. President, in con- templating Burns, the man seems to take precedence a poet, and his povtry seems but the overflow- ing of his manliness.

Mr. GREENFIELD gave ‘“Ihe Flag that Braved a Thousand Years, the Battie and the Kreeze,” pointing to the Britieh fag. An enthusia: ual sprung to his feet and shouted vehemently “That flag, that flag,” point- ing in the opposite direction, to the stripes and wtars. Several had now left, and those who remained clored their ranks and sang “Auld Lang Syne.”” The whole entertainment passed off in the most agreeable manner, with the exc eption of one or two little breezes.

He was a native of Londonderry, New Hampshire, the founders of which place were of the Scotch-Irish stock, which he receutly dis- covercd in reading the ‘Old Mortality” of Sir Walter Scott. By comparing the characters in his birth- place with those described, he saw they had the same virtues—the same feelings--and the same pre- judices. The only poct that ever yet lived, of the | peasant class, was Burns, who had done more than ony other man living for the cause of liberty. r. CuireuvGn then rose and said:—While doin, honor to the genins of Burns, we must not forge that there are others who eavally deserve our re- membrance, and, to use a scriptural phrase, wherever two or three are met together to do honor to Scot- | land, the spirit of Sir Walter Scott is snre to be | among them. To say that Sir Walter Scott was the moet extraordinary man of his age, would only be to re-echo, in feeble ters, the voice, not only of this country, but of all Europe. It will be admit- ted that the world did not pay he his gigan- tic mind with anything like a blind idolatry;.and on this very account it is that we are more pared to offer sincere admiration at the altar of his genius, feeling assured tiat, like Arabian frankincense, it will burn the brighter when unalloyed by the base weed of feat Contrasting the number and va- ‘iety of his works with those which have been accora- and the com- ¢ witching hour Our New Hampshire Correspondence.

Pierce—He will De- cline Public Receptions on his Way to Wushing- ton—Incident—Presents—A Hickory Chair—The California Ring—-Outside Arrivals, §., §c. There are certain politicians at Washington and elsewhere—of course they desire no offices, but are only anxious to counsel General Pierce for his own good and that of the country at large, preparatory to the formation of a cabinet—who would doubtless feel under great obligations to the President elect, if he would address them letters, soliciting, confidentially, their opinions and advice. This, I take it, General Pierce will not do until after the 4th 6f March. He is, doubtless, perfectly willing to hear all sides; but Washington, begging for advice, I take it. Nor do I believe he will do so just yet. He seems to have plenty of volunteer advisers, of all kind d fi all es vn these vopics, without putting nmsel to the trouble of impressing an additional number into the service, at so late an hour. In my opinion, ho man can to-day call the names of the new cabinet no man has yet named a single member of it, on riet General Pierce's authority, either at Washington or plishea by ey.

But shall we say that the rd of “Marmion” and the “Lady of the Lake”—the eantry of the Poot painter of past Pierce, it is now understood, will decline public re- ceptions on his way to Washington. He has already expressed himself to thls effect, in a letter read yes- terday before the Boston municipal government.

Y., spoke as follows:— Mr. President—On the twenty-third day of February, 1848, John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, who | A a bil to Ube Duited years, beginning with an inferior diplomatic func- tion, passing through the Chief Magistracy, and clos- kind, and, if all posthumous honors are not insincere and false, deplored by his countrymen. On a fair and cloudless day inthe month of June, 1850, when the loud and deep voice of wailing had just died away in the land, the Senator from Michi- gan, of New England born, and by New England reared, the leader of a great party, not only here, but in the whole country, rose in the Senate cham- . ee ms +? he ce fiona ast mily of that great statesman of the Kast, instead of | going backwards with a garment to cover his inftr- | his private diary, himself proceeded to read the ob- noxions extracts, They showed the author's strong | opinions, that by the federal compact the slavehold- ing class had obtained, and that they had exercised, a controlling influence in the government of the country. Placing these extracts by the side of passages the Senator from Michigan, said:— “He is unworthy the name of an Amer‘ean who does not feel at his heart’s core the difference between the lofty | patriotism and noble sentiments of one of these docu- ments, and——; but I will not “ what the oecasion would justify. f will only say, and that is enough, the other, for itisanother.’’ “It cannot,nor willit, nor should it, eseape the censure of an age like this.” ‘Better that it'had been entombed, like the ancient Egyptian record: 4 till its language was lost, than thus to have been expose: to the light of day.” The Senator then proceeded to set forth, by con- trast, his own greater justice and generosity to the Union. This was in the Senate of the United States. And yet no one rose to vindicate the memory of John Quincy Adams, or to express an emotion, even of surprise or of regret, that it hed been thought Sec thue to invade the sanctity of the honored grave where the illustrious statesman who had co recently pasved the gates of death was sleeping. T was not of New England by residence, education, or descent, and there were reasons enough why I should then endure in silence a pain that I shared with so | many of my countrymen. But I then determined that | when the tempest of popular passion that was then raging in the country should have passed by, 1 would claim a hearing here—not to defend or vin- dicate the sentiments which the Senator from Michi- self had referred them, together with all his actions slavery—not to this tribunal, or even to the present time, but to that after age which gathers and records the impartial and ulci- mate judgment of mankind—but to show how just and generous he had been in his public career towards all the members of this confederacy, and how devoted to the Union of the States and to the aggrandisemet of this republic. Iam thankful that the necessity for performing that duty has passed by, and that the statesman of Quincy has, earlier than I hoped, received his vindication, aud has received it, too, at the hands of him from whom it was justly due—the accuser himself. I regret | only this, that the vindication was not as gener- as it was effectually made. There are two May ie arising out of our in- terests in and aroundthe Gulf of Mexico, which are admitted by all our statesmen. One of them ie, that the safety of the Southern States requires a watchful jealousy of the presence of Earopean powers in the southern portions of the North American con- omer he respec Gast, his ie Adanw’) pay crianea cosirely with Mr, Adams.”—App, Cong, lobe, , Dp. - 1847. pa 63 Now, let us turn to the position of aS yf pris, concerning nasiouel 2 goo is ropean powers w ad ol ube. ‘The recent Tevelations of or @i 'y on in of December, 1822, Mr. Adams informed Mr. A then American Minister in Spain, that ‘‘the fined at Cuba bad excited much attention, and had become of deep interest to the American Union;” and, referring Ww reported rival designs of France and Great Britain upon that island, instructed him to make known to Spain “the sentfments of the United States, which were favorable to the continuance of Cuba in its con- nection with Spain.” On the 28thof April, 1823, Mr. Adame thus instructed Mr. Nelson, the successor of Mr. Forsyth: islands of Cuba and Porto Rico still remain, nom'- ee , and so far really o or ioe Eoale, Spe she poxranses the power of transfer er own dominion ever them to others. These islands, from their local po- sition, are natural pete tae North American continent; and oneot them—Cuba—gimost in sight of our shores, from @ niultitude of considerations, has bo- come an object of transcendent importance to the ¢ont- mercial ans pasties! Interests of our Union. Its com- mandi ition, with reference to the Gulf of Mexico and the West Indla seas—the character of its population its situation midway betwoon our Southern coast and the island of 8t. Domingo—its safe and capacious harbor of the Havana, fronting @ long line of our shores destitute of the same advantage—the nature of ita productions and of its wants, furnishing the supplies, and needing the re- turns of a commerce immensely ‘profitable and mu- tually beneficial, give it an importance in the sui of our national interests, with which that of no othereforeign territory ean be compared, and little inferior to that which binds the different members of this Union together. Such, indeed, are, between the in. terests of that island and of thix country, the graphi- cal, commercial, moral, and political rviations, formed by nature, gathering in the process of time, and even now verging to maturity, that, in looking forward to the probable course of events, for the short period of half « century, it iv scarcely possible to resiat the conviction that the annesation of Cuba to our federal republic will be indispensable to the continuance and integrity of the Union itself, It is obvious, however, that for this event we are not yet prepared. Numerous and formidable ob- jections to the extension of our territorial dominions be- yond sea, present themselvex to the first contemplation of the subject. Obstacles to the eystem of polley by which alone that rowult can be cempassed and maintained, are to be foreseen and surmounted, both from at home and abroad. Fut there are laws of politienl as well as of physical gravitation; and if an apple, severed by the tempest from ite native tree, cannot choose but fall to the ground, vba, forcibly disjoined from its own unnatn- ral connection with Spain, and ineapable of self-support, can gravitate only towards the North American Union, which, by the game law of nature, cannot cast her off from its bosom. Tt will be among the primary objects requiring yonr mort earnest and unremitting attention, to ascertain and report to us every movement of ni ion between Spain and Great Britain upon this subject. * * * # Fo long as the constitutioual government may continue to be administered in the name of the king, your official interoou: ith his ininisters, and’to them you r has been instructed to say, ernment are that Cuba and in connection with independent on the 4th day of om Michigan, [Mr. BI i ry January, By Set Cass,] without one word ¢ Adams’ agency in instituting those measures of “ progress” towards the ‘ manifest destiny” of the country, submitted the resolutions which are under consideration, and which are in these wi Resolved, by the Senate and House of Ri of the United States of A That the United tates do hereby declare that ican ecntinents, by the free and indepe which they bave assumed and maintain, a not te be Considered a+ subjects for future colonization by any European power;” and, while “existing rights should be respected,” and will he by the United States, they © to their own “safety aad interests”? to announes, 'y now do, “that no future Exropean colony or do- minion shall, msent, be planted or establi ed on any f < should the clare that it tives regardless of thei which will leave them e interests and their eafety, independent nation may jastly adopt in defence of its rights and its honor. isolaim any designs upon the island of Cuba, consixtent with the laws of nations and with their du to Spain, they consider ii due to the vast importance of the subject to make known, in this solemn manner, that they should view all efforts on the part of any other pow er to procure possession, whether peaceably or forcibly, of that (sland, which, axa naval or military position, might, under circumstances easy to be foreseen, become dangerous to their Southern coast, to the Gulf of Mexico, and to the mouth of the Miss! a the en ovlonization aid Cuba. What remains of the Senator’s case seems scarcely to merit grave consideration. It consists, first, of ominous articles in newspapers. But even we, the most newspaper-loving nation in the world, make our designs and policy known, not through the news- peners but by public acts and official agents; and ; France and Great Britain do the same. The press speaks on all occasions, but for itself always. No wire and calm atatestaun in either country feels him- elf compromised by what the press may assume to speak for or against him, much Jess does either gov- ernment ack SA any necessity for avowing or disavowing what the press may allege. The lan- guage of the press of any country, therefore, even if’ it were general, would not warrant national action by any other government ; much leas would that lan- guage warrant such action when it was spoken by only one out of a thousand or five thousand journals. Secondly, the Senator from Michigan invokes our attention to what Lord George Bentinck has said in the British Parliament. Well, sir, that is important, what an English Lord has said, and said in Partia- ment, too. That must. be looked into. Well, what did Lord George Bentinck say? Sir, he said very angry things—very furious things—indeed, very fe- rocious things. Prepare yourself to hear them, sir. Lord George Bentinck did say, in so many words, and in Parliament, too! what [ am going to repeat. His Lordship did say th: “He quite agreed with Captain Pilkington.” Aye, sir, his lordship did eay that “He quite agreed with Captain Pilkington.” Ominous words—teartul conjunction; an English lord and an English captain. But this was not all—not by any means wll that Lord Gearge Bentinck said. He said, “They would never put down the slave trade, so long as it depended upon blockading 10,260 miles of coast, and he would do what Captain Pilkington bad recommended.” And what do you think it was that Captain Pilkington had recommnded? Be patient, I pry, you, and hear Lord George Bentinck explain. What Captain Pilkington recommended was, ee ie strike a blow at the head, and not the ham. dua! hornet, but he would go to the hornet’+ nest at once.” Yes, sir; and Lord George Bentinck not only echoed all these severe things which had been said by Captain Pilkington, as aforesaid, but he said also on his own account, “Let us take possession of Caba, and settle the question altogether. Let us distrain | upon it for the just debt due, and too long asked in vain, from the Spanish government.” As for the rest of the alarming sayings of lis lordship, I forbear from repeating them. “Are they not written in the Appendix to the Congressional Globe, tor the 1847 and 1848, published by Blair & Rives, priaters of the Debates of Congress, at page 607% And now, sir, it may assuage the passion andabate ir that these threats of Lord George Bentinck to distrain upon a hornet’s nest have excited, when J state—First, that they are old, and not new—they were uttered four years ago, namely, on the 3d of March, 1848. Secondly, that George Bentinck was a lord only by courtesy, nad so no real lord at all. Thirdly, that Lord George Bentinck was in a very harmless minority in Parliament when he uttered tinent; and the other is, that the tendency of com- mercial and political events invites the United States | to assume and éxéreire » peTeMount infinence in the aftkirs of the nations situated in this hemisphe that is, to become and remain a great Western ¢ tinental power, balancing itself against the possible combinations of Fare The advance of the coun- try towards that position constitutes what, in the lan- | | gtoge of many, is called “ progress; and the posi- which 1 gent you during last week, finds corrobora- | liberty on or abont the 16th ult., is eoncerned. | nilty, are shortly to be tried. | | | tion itseil is what, by the same class, is called‘‘mani- fest destiny.” It is held by all who approve that | progress and expect that destiny, to be necessary to prevent the ro-colonization of this continent by the | European States, and to eave the island of Cuba from passing out of the possession of decayed Spain, into that 7 an Age vy neg more vigorous maritine wwers of the Old World, = In December, 1823, James Monroe, President of the United States, in his annual message to Con- gress, proclaimed the first of these two policies sub- stentially as follows:— The American contivents, by the free and independent condition which they | have assnmed and maintain, are henceforth not to he considered as subjects for future colonization hy any European power; and while existing rights should be respected, the safety and interest of the United Stetes require them ‘to announce that no | future colony or dominion shall, with their consent, be planted or established in any part of the North ‘American continent.” This ix what is called, he and elxewhere, the Monroe doctrine, #0 far as it volves re-colonization. John Quincy Adams and John C. Calhonn were then members, chief members, of Monroe's adminis- tration. John Quincy Adams atterwards acknow- ledged that he was the author of that doctrine or olicy; and John C. Calhoun, on the 15th of M Teas? in the Senate, testified on that point fully. Senator had related an alleged conversation, in which Mr. Adams was represented as having said that three memorable pr ‘itions contained in that message, of which what I have quoted was one, had originated with himself, Mr. Calhoun replied, that Mr, Adams, if he had so stated, must have referred to only the one proposition concerning re-colonization, } (the ope now in qnestion,) and then sdded aa fol- a, | them; itbeing, indeed, unknown that he had any con- federate in his wicked designs but Captain Pilkington. Fourthly, that this alleged speech was brought be- fore the Renate and the American people in 1848, by | a late member of this body, whose constitational pro- ' clivity to wit and humor was so great as to justi the heliefthat the speech, like the Donaldson and sorrespondence, Was hoax, (Mr.W.) Fifthly, that Lord G Captain Pilkington not haying been heard of for a long time, there is a strong presumption that the Joss of his noble friend and chivalrous wlly has thrown him into a decline. Mr. President, let us survey our nd carefally and completely. Political action, Ike all other hu | ynan action, i¢ regulated by laws higher than the | caprice or policy of princes, kings, and States, There iva time for colonization, and there is a time for in- dependence. The colonization of the American hemisphere hy European powers was the work of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; the breaking up of colonial dependence, and the rive of independent | Americay States is the work of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is 9 cork that does not go on as broadly and as rijtdiy as we conld wish, but it does not go backwards. It goes faster than was to have been expected usder the cirenmstances, for it began when the United S¢ alone, of all the colonies, Spanish, French und Roglish, had attained pret fe strength and sv tficient paration for suc- ful | cesstul selt-government.
