Sydney Webster; ani was attended by the committee appointed by the council and citizens of Baltimore, at ‘the hesd of which was Joho 8. Brown, to conduct him to their oity. The party left by the ordinary half-past three o'clock train, occupying the last car, which was specially sseigned to them. The President appeared in excellent health and spictts conversing good humoredly with tnore aroundhim. He attracted little or no obser- vation, either at the depot in Washington or along the Hine.

The whole route was crowded with persons, anxious to see the President, who was again and again most enthusias- tically cheered. The sqaare infront of the hotel was also denseiy filled by the citizens, all awaiting the arri- wal of the cortege with muen anxiety, THE GREETING AT BARNUM'S. Ow arriving at the City Hote), the President was re- esived by A. S. Barnum, Esq., and ushered into the pri- vate parlor on the eorner of Fayette and Calvert streets, where he partook of slight refreshment. The crowd that Dlocked up the street and square in front, having ealled yocifercusly for him, he made his appearance on a sta ging erected in front of the Calvert street windows, which was tastefully decorated with the American flag by the Mears Hulland, He was greeted with hearty cheers; am silence being restored, the Hon. John Smith Holland, Mayor of Boltimore, welc:med him to the city in a few pertinent remark: (The President's reply was received by telegraph, and published ia yesterday’s Heratp } SPEECH OF SENATOR DAVIS. After the President had retired from the balcony, the crowd calied on Col. Davis; and in obedience to the call, the Hon Jurrerson Davis, Secretary of War, then came forward, and amid loud cheers spoke as follows:— Friends and fellow citizonr—for every trae American hear{ roust feel that it is ic the midst of friends while ‘among the people of Baltimore:—My fellow cltizens—for ‘who, in th's broad land, is not the fellow citizen of one who claims only to regard his life, his fortune, and his fame, in connection with the Constitution of the United States aud who holds that whatever be its behosts is his bounden duty to perform; and whatever are its rights, ‘these he is to maintain and aseert aguinst whatever power would e:ccoach on them, I appear befere you, fellow citizens, in answer to your eall, without having any right to address you, for! am here as @ ministerial offi- cor, attending on the President of the United States.

(Applorce') Then, too, there are other ties which bind me to the ;eople of Baltimore. You were the first who met at worked in the grest enterprise which led the comics of the country iuto the valley of the Missis- sippi; and yours, too, was the enterprise and self-depen- dence v Lech did not call on the government to open your rt, but only asked for liberty to tax yourselves to ‘ch slways becomes free citizens to do es—not bowing rx mondicants at the foot stool of any power.

Janes Gururre, Seoretary of the Treasury, came forward and said :-— Fetiow citizens of Baltimore—for I have a right to oall you fellow citizens—being a citiven of Kentucky on the far banka of the Obio; I am a citivem of the United States a@ayou s:s, hound together by one constitution which MaiahOs us uoubore ot the same mationatiy, secures the Wertz X ot, guacantion internal (ree tendo, and cements MORNING EDITION---WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1859. this happy Union under which we have flourished aad prospered as no people have flourished or prospered be- fore. (Cheers.) Flourished and prospered, I say, as! verily, believe, under the principles of democracy, and with the heart and soul, and feelings of the masses of America. (Applause.) You have never heard of the individual who is addressing you ; he has had no name on this side of the mountains. g to a State which differed with him in politics, he for thirty long years raised bis voice against the msjority there in favor of democratic principles.

I thark you, gentiemen. SPEECH OF GENERAL CUSHING. After loud cries for ‘Cushing!’ “Cushing!” the At- torney General of the United States, the Hon, Caras CusHinG, came forward, and addressed the assemblage as follovs:— Gentieren—I obey your call that I should pesout my- self befcre you, because it is due to you on this occasion, when with such enthusiastic patriotism you have mani fested your respect—I will not say for the President of the United States—but for the constitution of your country; for it is only the government of this country itzelf which is this day personified in hor chief magis trate—(app'ause)—that country, of which he is this day the prime minister before you. I say, in the view of this great assemblage, convened here to give to him a Gtting re. ception, it would be not merely discourteous in je, but unjust to you, to him, and to myself, not, at least for a moment to address you, ard it must be only for a mo- ment. Gentlemen, those of us who here accompany the President have dore so in the execution of our publie duty. We do not'come here for the purpose of discuss- ing political questions, for the purpose of presenting to you any view in respect to the relavions of party, or of persons as connected with party, (Cheers, and cries of ‘good, gocd.””) But we come simply and merely to ErakeGe towards him our duty in an official visit to the city of New York. These being our relations to this oc- casion, I am precluded from addressing to you any re- marks on those questions of the day, which, however warmly they may be pulanting. and, as it were palpitat- ing under our thoughts, are yet here a forbidden topic. I can therefore, but congratulate you, that, on such an occas on as this, we participate in one of those inci- dents almost peculiar to our country, and which illustrate and henor its institutions. (Applaue) We meet here, the people, with the people, of tne people; we meet here for the purpose of presenting the fact, that here at loast there remains on the face of the globe, untouched by Gexpotism—untainted by dishonor—that here at least there remain democratic institutions upheld by the unacimous, enthusiastic and patriotic emotions of the people of the United States. (Applause) You gentle. men, you the people of the United States, are the sove. reighty of the country; and he, who for the time being, administers power, administers it as your representa: tive and agent; from you deriving his miasion, for you and for your interests cischarging his duty. It has been well and truly said, that, though it be the province of the chief of a dewocratic gevernment to lead the mearures of that government, yet he leads them enly so long as he sympathises with the will of the people. (Cheers) Aud it is as the embodiment, as ths type as representa- tive, as tho epirit and soul covcentrated in him, of that united will of the people; it 1 thus, and thas oaly, that he is ponerful. You, then, he represents—your power he exerts; and he is to exert that power, I do believe, to the greatest end gemeral good of these United States. (Ap: lause.) For, gentlemen, what is now the relation of the government to the people of the United States’ it is not that the government of our country sees itself now absorbed in petty financial questions. Thore is no con- troverty now as to whether the small surplus treasure of the United States shall be kept in the custody of a man called cashier, or in the cus- tody of a man called treasurer. Thanks be to God, we have emerged once, and I trust for ever, from thé murky atmospnere of that narrow, petty, iaterested finan- civ] question, which for such a length of time occu the attention and awakened the passions of the peoplo of the United States, I say we have emerged, at lecgth, from those terrestrial questions, and mounted to that etherial region of the great and general interests of our country, as typified by its vast relations to the rest of the werld, ‘That is the point to which we have now attained. There was a time—and I can look around me on some fow gray heads in this crowd who may remem- ber it—there was @ time when these United States con- sisted of a barrow riband. as it were, of territory, extend- ing along the shores of the Atlantic sea. ‘hen the thirteen United Statee—strong, in their sense of right, strong in their sanguine anticipations of the fu ture, strong in the vigor of wise and good men— when these thirteen United States, I say, dared the ower of Britain. We were then a comparatively junble people, cecupying merely a narrew slip of the mountains toward the Atlantic Ocean. Time passed on. To those days of feebleness followed that period in whish the vast valicy of the Miesltippt—the greatest body of cultivatable carth that exists, in one mass, on the faco of the earth—I sey the time came when that vast valley of the Mississippi was opened to the enterprise and the in- dustry of Americans, And then it was that the symbolic eagle of our arms took its flight across the Alleghanies, and spread its protecting wings over thot great and rich valley of the Mississippi. Then, then it was that we began tofocl that we were great, that there might be in the future come untcld destiny of magsificent greatness and glory for those. original thirteen’ States—f say we then first begen to feel that it must and should be so. And it hes become so; for that valley of the Mississippi region, almost unknown to geographical inquiry, te were, which was looked at as the yet unconqnered Lome of the savage, whatis it now’ Is it notnow the glorious, the uoparelleled centre of these United States’ For that power, which, in its apparent walk, beginning on the At- lantic, stroggled, as it were, into existence, a giant but an infant'giant, row stands like a colossus, with one foot on the Alleghanies and another on the rocky mountains— with one hand stretched over the Atlantic to Muropo, de- pice ell evemies, and with the other hand stretched ‘orth across the Pecific, inviting the yet untold ,nillions of the East to add by their emigration to our strength. This is now the United States—that colossu that colossus of liberty—that colossus of the spi tions, which invites all men fiom the four corners of,the globe hither, to come here to find a refuge from oppres- sion—hero to find inexhaustible resources for the deve id enterpriso—here to add each ig his virtue, hia strength— to add the atom of his own individual capacity to the vast total of the untiring enterprise and industry of the people of the United States. I say, gentlemen, thia is the point at which we now stand, and I repeat that it is to no trivial question of the past, it is to no exhausted paseions of the past that we, of this day, are confined—our flight is into other cloments. Our duty is for other objects; it is, gentlemen, in the confidence of our strength— for force is, of iteelf, the irrepressible instinct of action, He who is'strong, who feels coursing in his veins the blood of maturity and vigor, reeds agtion, and must bave action; it is thé very condition and necessity of existence. I say then, wo are strong in our territorial extent, ‘strong in the vast natural resources of our country, strong in the vigorous men and in the fair wo. mén'who inhabit it, strong in those giorious institutions which our fathers of the revolution transmitted to us; but above all, strong, stronger, strongest, in that irrepressible instinct of patriotic devotion to coun- try, which burns unextinguishably, like the veatal fixe cn its altar, im the heart of every Ame. rican. (Great applause) I say, gentlemen, is the point in the history of onr country to which we have arrived; and I will only say, in conclu:ton what [know I may say with truth, that he, the President of these United Siates, whom by an unparal- loled unanimity of suffrage you have entrusted for the time being with your power, whom for the time being you have called upon and commanded to exert that powor, is animated with the full songe of that great mission’ to which he has been called, that it can only be, it will only be, to that great God who has watched over the infancy of our country, who has blessed it in its progress to maturity, and who has not ceased to simile upon it—T say it can only bo that that great God shall have withdrawn his blessing from ne, if the emotions, the motives, and the priceiples which actuate the present chief of the gov: ernment wf the United Sates, should not redound to the highest hovor of America (cheers.) Gentiemen, with these fow remarks, I beg you to permi( me to retire, with the expression of the siccere aud heartfelt giatitude which | experience in view of the courteous, the cordial, and the enthusiastic recoption which you have this day given to the Prosident of the United States. (Great ap plause.) During the course of an hour or more, the President was cocupied in receiving intruductions to tho ccowds of citivens of all classes, who thronged into the hotel to have the honor and pleasure of personally grecting him, and sbaking him by the hand. Messrs. Davis, Guthrie and Cushing, performed their part also in this sincere and ‘unceremonions demonstration. Subsequently, the Presi- dent received a renewal of congratulations and welcome from the civic representations, and other citizens eo Baltimore. He retired to his sleeping apartments before Wo'clock, at which hour Messrs, Cushing and Guth: were entertained at supper by tne members of the 0. mittes, The latter afin pasend of quictiy, K aot tam. , HAVBE DE GRACE. Tuxspay, July 12, 1863. The Fresidert'al party left Baltimore at half-past eight @’clo:k this morning, by the regular mail traia, in which @ spocia! car was assigned for its use. The Committees of Reception and Mayor of Baltimore were of the party. At Havre de Grace, in crossing the Susquehanna river, the special car was detached from the other cars of the train, and performed the rest of the trip to Wilmiugton alens. At Elston, the party was met by some tweaty:four mem- vers of the Delaware Committee, from Wilmington» where the President, Dr. H. F. Askew, addressed a short speech of welcome to Gen. Pierce, The latter, standing on the platform of the car, and surrounded by a crowd of citizens, most of them in their working clothes, responded as follows:— THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. I thack sou, sir, for this cordial welcome. I regret that Taw not able, physically, to return to you the thanks with which my heart is filled, Iknow the noble charac- ter of your State has always mads up for the smallness of its territory by the power of her intellect and the de- votion of her heroiam to this Union. We all look to Dela- ware. It forms, though small, s central link in that chain which binds this Union together, and which wil nevex be broken while you and I live. Present to your citizens, sir, my thanks for the kind reception you have given me. ‘The train having arrived as Wilmington, the President and party were condncted by the committee and a pro cension of citizens, to the little building designated as the Ci'y Hall, amid the tolling of bells and firing of cannon. ‘The workingmen of the town left their forges and work- shops, and congregated in the hall to give manifestation to their loyal end reepectful feelings to the Executive, and to satisfy their own curiosity by a sight of the Presi- dent of the United States. The assemblage baving been called to order, the President was addressed in welcome by tho Mayer, John A. Allderdice. REMARKS OF THE MAYOR. Mr. Presidont—It now becomes my duty, as it is my pleasure, on the part of the corporation and citizens, to bid you welecme tothe city of Wilmington. (Cheers) We cannot offer to you such a reception as you will receive im those great cities through which you will pass on your route, to witness the opening ofan Exhibition which wo all hope will tend to the best interests of American industry. (Cheers.) But, sir, we tender F dep the Chief Magistrate of our country, the respectful and cordial salutations of a free and any people. Weare ever ready to extend to him whom the ple select to rule over their dest nies, the welcome he lecerves, for he stands before the world the represents tive of our system of government, and the representative of the principles on which it is based. I: through our State, the few hours which are allowed you do not permit you to become personally acquainted with Dela- ware. Younow stand on her soil; you find surrounding you some of her loyal people. If she has any claim to ovor over any of her sister States, itis that she was the first State in the Usion to accopt the constitution of the United States. (Applause.) Tne preservation and support of the constitution is ber hope and pride, be- euuse it is the guarantee of ail the privileges we enjoy, and our anchor against the storms of time. We, sir, as Delawarians, endeavor to pres the integrity of that instrument; and if in the providence of Him who rules all th{ogs, it should be the fate of this nation to pass away from the face of the earth, our only hope and expectation is that Delaware’s opitaph may be, that, being the first to adopt the constitution, she was the last to abandon it.” Itis not my intention, sir, and this is not the occasion for any exte: remarks. I can only repeat, you are welcome to Delaware, and that on the part of those now present, I wish you most exsellent health, and that wherever you msy go among the on of this land, your visit may be pleasant and agreeal a I p- ve done, sir. I wish you welcome to Delaware. plaure.) THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY. To the foregoing specch the President thea, in an im” preseive and very happy manner, responded:— Honered Sir—All honor to yourself, to the city of Wil mirgton, and to the State of Delaware, for the noble and patriotic sentiments which you have expressed on this occasion. Sir, I thank you cordially, heartily, and I thank ail the people here acsembled, for this generous and noble welcome to me within your borders. (Applause.) Whose hoart does not stir within him at a scene like thist (Im merse applause.) Nowhere on tho face of the habitable globe, except in this blessed country, held together in this biessed Union, can you see such a scene as we witness here to-day. (Cheers.) No soldtery, nocommand, but that.com maxd which every citizen establishes for himself. (Great applause.) It isa command like that I heard to-day as came along with you in the carriage. Somebody sid to a person ‘go out of that,” and he answered “the road that is broad enough to vote on is broad enough for me totiavelon.”” (Applause) Sir, it is a noble sight to see sucha collection of faces as these. Calm, intelli- gent, understanding their rights, and prepared to take care of them and to maintain them; and as you said, sir: what is more, the rights of this Union to boot, if need be. Sir, some ef us, who come from small States, per- haps, would be glad to say it, what we can say with pre eminent truth, that other States of this Union do not meauze Delaware by the number of her acres, but by the intelligence and patriotism of her citizers. (Applause ) Sir, regret exceedingly, that in consequence of illness, the result of @ sudden cold caught last night, it is not ininy power to speak to you, fellow. citizens, as I would be gladto do. The fact to which you, sir, have ad- verted, is one which will be remembered as long as the country shall last, with pride by the citizens of Delaware—that she was the first to aceapt this glorious Union in an hour of trial, of doubt, and of darkness; and I think, sir, you may well proclaim that she will be the last to give it up. (Great applause.) She takes that constitution, sir,asa whole, She does not take it in part, to enjoy its privileges without bearing its burdens. Fhe takes it ae a whole, with all its obligations and all its requirements. The faces before me assure me that in this light Delaware will always maintain the constitu- tion. (Applause.) Sir, from the carliest history of this republic to the present dey, Delaware has been pre-omi- nently distinguished for the control of the councils of this nation, because of the great intellest, learning, and yetrioticm, which she gave to the public service; bat over all, and above all, she will be remembered for that loyal devotion to the constitution, sir, which cannot be too much praised. (Applanse.) I thank you, gentlemen. I wish I could speak to you, but 1 am not able to do 50 to-day. (Immense applause.) A BOQUET PRESENTED BY CHILDREN, ETC. In the garden at the rear of the building, a number of young girls and children, neatly dressed, were seated, and by this fair assombly a handsome child was deputed to present to the President a boquet. This gift was re- ceived with smiles, and the little donor rewarded with a kiss, Afterwards, Mr. Pierce assured the young ladies 0 his pleasure and delight tm seeing them. ‘The President then retired, with the Mayor and severa' members of the committee, to the hotel, within a few doors of the Lall, where a collation was previded. SPEECHES OF MEMBERS OF THE CABINET, EC. ‘The assemblage called for more speakers, and the Hon Jofferson Davis, Secretary of War, presented himeelf in obedience to ihe call, and spoke for some time, in an clo- quent and impressive manner. After him followed the Hon, Mr. Guthrie, Secretary of the Treasury, and the Hon, Caleb Cushing, Attorney General. When tho speeches were all made, the members of the Cabinet and of the committee adjourned to the hotel, whore they partook of a very excellent collation provided by the Corporation. A civic body, wearing bt marched past the hotel. THE DEPARTURE. About one o'clock the President and pirty proceeded in carriages to the whorf, whero the steamboat John Stevens was In waiting, to convey them to Philadelphia, A large assemblage had collected on the wharf, and on the boat there were seme four hundred persons having tickets, Great enthuciasm was manifected by the people on shore and on board, guns wore fired, and every demonstration was mace of respect to the President. THE STEAMBOAT. INVITATION TO NEWARK ACCEPTED, BTU. Gen, Pierce was met on board by a deputation from Newark, N. J., deputed to invite the President to honor that city with a visit, The deputation was headed by Dr. Goble, of Newark, and included Hon. Wm. Wright. ‘The President, however, at first could give no decisive response to thelz invitation, the probability, he said, being that other engagements would preclude his accept- ing it; but he afterwards assented to the invitation, so pressingly urged, and is to remain in Newark on Wednes- 4, and preceded by a band, | “ey night, leaving Philadetphia in the morning and apend- ¢~mme hours tn ‘Lreaton, A aplendd repest was pregared om boned the Jobe Ste PRICE TWO CENTS. vens, and the President replied as follows to the chair- man of the Philadelphia committee:-— SPEECH OF GENERAL FIERCE. ‘Sm :—I receive with the deepest emotion, the kind as- surances which you have expressed on the part of the citizens of Philadelphia. I rejoice to hear you ray that Tam to be received with one accord. I know that my reception is to be the reception, not of myself as an in- dividual, but asa servant of the people. While I recog. nize that relation, ‘sir, 1 also recognize another, and that is, that I'am their representative, the representative of their interests and thei: honor. I intend, with God's will, that nothing shall suffer in my keeping. I am obliged to you also, tir, for expressing your approbation of this, my short absence from the peculiar field of my duties. Itwas a matter of extrome doubt with meat first what I ought to do, but Iam now satisfied that I came to the right conclusion, because I have the appro- batien of the intelligent citizens of Philadelphia. At this moment, sir, while we stand here upon the storied Delaware, with the friendly shores of Peansylvania on the one band, and with those of New Jersey on the other, it isto you as it is to ms, impossible to bring your mind to dwell upon the present, or ioform the hopes of the future’ My thoughts are involuntarilY turned upon the past, and that great and noble part which your State and your citizens sustained in the past. Ido not suppose that there aro twenty men here who have not, since we came on board of this boat, been re- minded that in 1777, perhaps about sixty miles from this point, the most romarkable movement occurred, perhaps in.the course of the whole revolution. Then, when all was darkness, when clouds were shut down all around our fa- thers, when that army re crossed the Delaware in winter, and marched, leaving their blood upon every foot track of their way to the field of victory, which changed the whole aspect of the war. (Applause ) Look upon all of these facts; I remember them at this moment with an unusual degree of feeling. I hope this and other cherished memories of the revolution— the sacrifices which were made for our liberties— the privations, and toils, and trials which purchased that glorious Union of which you have spoke, will make it dear to us all as long as we may live; (applause) and that we shall be able, through the teachings and the ex- amples of the past, to transmit to our children, not the mere belief, but the full conviction that however great any State in this Union may be, it is nothing out of it.

THE MAYOR'S WELCOME. On the procession reaching Independence Hall, the President was officially weleomed by Mayor Gilpin, in a brief address, to which he responded as follows :— SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Mayor, and citizens of Philadelphia—It grieves me that I am physically so unable to respond to this most hearty and touching welcome. Sir, my heart is full of gratitude to you, and full of gratitude to all this people, who haye’placed you in the position which you occupy. I did think that I had tried in my day to do some little for the cause of my country ; but such a day as this makes ‘a man’s heart overrun with gratitude to a people like the inhabitants of the city of Philadelphia, 1 have been much surprised—aye, sir, filled with the profoundest ayo, at the manner in which you have received me. Philadelphia is a city of some mark. If your mountains and your valleys did not teem with the elements of comfort to your population; if your citivens, in all time, bad not been foremost whonever the country has wanted their aid; if your institutions of learning were not amongst your proudest monwments,the single fact to which you have adverted, sir, that from hence was proclaimed the Declaration of Independence, would put Philadelphia and Pennsylvania upon a pre- eminence which, in the providence of God, ne other city or State can ever enjoy. (Applause) Sir, I feel as you do, that wo must bow—we can hardly do anything else bat bow before these reeollections and associations, I feel how inadequate is language, sir, and you also fecl it, when you come to speak of thot period. Language don't reach it, but our hearts hemor it, in all its depth, power, and fullness, I hope, These men, sir, of whom you have spoken, whe planned hore the ingtitutions of a free government, let us re member, were no holiday patriots; they were no echeming philanthropists; they were no visionary states- men, They deliberated amid the difficulties that sur- rounded them, and here they meditated amid the clamor of arms, as thoy’, ‘ey had been environed with peace, and in absolute sc sity; and they solved the great pro- blem, which was a terror to despots, and an inspiration to patriots, as though the issue did not involve the ques- tion of their lives, Sir, here stood—and, as I say it now, they come before us now—here, I say, stood Thomas Jef- forton, and Franklin, and Roger Sherman; and also, per. haps—for this is the first time I have beem here—in this very room, stood the dauntless Joh Haneock, as he re- ceived from those men, not only the assertion of our rights, but the charter ef our liberties. Can wedo any- thisg but bew in a place like thie? It is not in my power to speak to you at length. You have said, very properly, perhaps, thet it is not your province—it certainly is not mane—to digurd the desp current of fecling which qourmes the beacts and minds of (heey around ane, But & The carriages designated by the commaltton for the pre it fs not only your city, it ‘s your Ftate, also, that is of some (mark. In « peculisr sens* are your resources of wealth sai powrr reposed in her own bosom. She is an empire in herself, Why ths developement of tha uses of irom ani coal so prominently since 1816 —the foundation of Brit sh wealth and power—wouldof it- self constiiute a mever-failing source of prosperity to you, But, sir, it is not thst on which you have mainly relied It is on your agriculture. How rich you are, not only in the means of production, but above all in the men who produce. (Applause.) Sir, I would not here forget that remarkable German population, so distinguished for their thrift, their industry, their integrity, their devotion to siviland religious liberty; and I think you must all re- joice, that wherever that race go andare spread, they look to Pennsylvania, in some respects, as their second fatherland. Sir, it is not chiefly, perbaps, or not 40 much ¢m account of your commanding political influence in point of vctes, that this nation has designated you as the keystone of th It is because of your geographical position. Yeu are neither a Southern, a Northern, an Eastern, nor a Western State; and I should, perhaps, bot much exaggerate if I were to say that you are all combined. (Applause.) Your rivers on this side of the ridge, empty themrelves into the beautiful bay below you. On the west they swell the flood of the Ohio, and finally wash the shores of Louisiana. Six, let me say to you, that patriotic men throughout this entire country, North and South, look to you, and will always do so, not simply as the keystone of thearch, but as the great central self-sustaining link in the chain which binds this Union into one harmonious whole, and which holding it steadily and firmly to its moorings, will enable it to ride over every storm. (Sathusiastic ap- Plause.) Noble men of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania— noble for your fidelity to the duties imposed upon you by the obligations of your eonstitution—let me say here, you are not only triply armed, but are now, and have been triply bound— here was the Declaration of Indepen- dence proclaimed, here the articles of confederation were promulgated, and here, finally, the constitutlon, for which you baye so nobly stood, was adopted. (Cheers.) I could wish for you no higher honor, aod for my country no higher place and security than that great and noble devotion which you have thus far so honorably upheld and maintained, The foregoing speech was listened to with profound interest, and at its close three hearty cheera were given. ‘The party then left the Hall, and the President was es- corted to the Merchants’ Hotel. ANOTHER SPEECH. An immenre crowd thropged in front of the building, and, after repeated calls, General Pierce came forward and made a brief, but very happy epsech. He expressed his thanks in eloquent language, and paid a glowing com- pliment to the chivalry, gallantry and patriotism of Pern- sylvania. Her sons were ever ready to respond to the call of their country; and wherever floated their flag, vic- tory was sure to follow. Tho President expressed himself highly gratified at his brilliant reception. THE NEW JERSEY DELEGATION, ETC. New Jersey had a strong representation in the proces- sion—her two Senators being among the Commitice of Arrangements. THE BANQUET. The President and suite partook of a splendid banquet at the Merchants’ Hotel, given by the City Councils, at which about nine hundred sat down. James Buchanan was one of the guesta. Mayor Gilpin presided, and gave the health of the Presi” dent, to which the latter responded. STILL ANOTHER SPEECH. Gen, Pierce returned his most cordial thanks to the Mayor, and to thoss who differed with him in politics. He raid, in the change of circumstances, he hoped his party would show the rame magnanimity. He saw no reason why men should differ personally, because be- longing to opposite parties, and thought a man could serve his country as a soldier, or in the councils of the nation, no matter what political party he may choose to adopt. In conclusion, he expressed his happiness in mevttxg hia friende--among whom he inciuded tho Mayor--upon this gratifying occasion. THE REPLIES TO TOAS Mr. Jefferson Davis responded to the toast “The Cadi- not,” givem Dy Mazes Gilpin Mr. Buchanan also respon ed tu » toaat Gen. Patterson and others followed.
