This branch of trade was represented by an omnibus drawn by four horses, and hailing from the establishment of Thomas Rafter, ofFrench’s Hotel. The omnibus was a ros the horses, with the national colors and o POUGHKEEPSIE ALE WORKS. A four horse truck, carrying a number of casks, repre- sonted the firm of M. Vasear & Co., Warron street. ‘The date of the establishment of the works (1796) and the ‘ame of the firm adorned the side of the truck. ARCHER AND PANCOAST, The above firm was represented by three four horse ornamented cars. In the first a number of workmen were encaged making lamps, which were distributed along she route. Ona large banner in cach was inscribed ;— anes ARIOAD DOL CON IE ARCHER & PANCOAST, Manufacturers of Gas Fixturo and Lamps, Nos. 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Stone street. AOLOL LOSE DP LOGDDS ADIL DADE DNOEDE DRDNENRADDDNOODY On the sides of the first, which was drawn by four Shite horses, were the following mottoos:—On one side “our Army; on the other, “Our ‘Navy. ‘The second was highly ornamented with flags and banners, and con- tained large cases of merchandise, directed—‘Sherman, “Geary, Foster & Co,, Savannah, Ga;” ‘Grant, Sherman & Co., Charleston,’S. C;” “Porter, Terry & Co., Wil- tmington, N. C;” “Thomas & Co., Nashville, Tenn;” “Parragut & Co., New Orleans, care of United States and American Expresses. ’’ ‘The third car had on one side the motto ‘One Flag,” the other “One Country.” In this a number of youn; ladies were occupied manufacturing the ‘Ridgewood’ Pipe cases, which, with an immense quantity of excel- dent tobacco, were also distributed te the crowd. Ona —_ flag in this car was inscribed ‘Ridgewood Smoking _Among the most attractive curiosities of the Fifth division was the ce rene tag of the California interest. ‘There was on fe ian hunter in full costume, in paint and feathers of many flashy colors, but in which the red, white and blue largely predominated. He was ‘borne along in a truck with a squaw, also dressed in the full costume of the American savage. A miner at work was also noticed, and winegrowers, dressed as rustics, appeared in the same company. These remarka- ‘ble representations of the prominent classes of Call- fornia, in its earlicr days, contributed to the variety of the di i. and ulso associated the idea of a Union reaching mm ocean to ocean. The California interest ‘was represented thus by Perkins, Stern & Co., ef No. 180 Broadway. Few of the many curiosities which passed like an 4mmense panorama before eyes of the more and more astonished beholder was more commented upon ‘ban the mammoth horse. This horse is nineteen hands high, and weighs 3,800 pounds. He is well proportioned and not at all clumsy. ‘he monstrous specimen of the equine was dressed out in gay colors and flags, and stepped in majestic time to the music of a band which was immediately before him. All the boys and girle, aud many of their fathers and mothers, were loud in their ‘adm ration and praise of the great American horse, In this connection may be noticed two immense oxen, which appeared a littl: in the rear of the big horse. These oxen were five thousand pounds weight, and yet were ‘able to walk tolerably well. They were dressed in flags and mottoes, which suggested the idea of “beef for our gallant army.” ‘Though there was great variety and much to notice in ‘the fourth section of the Fifth division, there was litle ‘that requires special d: scription. CIGAR MAKING AND DISTRIRUTING IN THE PROCESSION, W. M. Harding, of 184 Water strect, had a two horse truck inthe procession carrying thirteen cigar making machines, busily at work. On one of the horse’s blankets was displayed, “Our Peace Commis onere—Graut and Sherman.” On the other, “The Last Ditch—Richmond."’ On the front of one of tho horses were the words “Charleston, Savannah and Columbia."’ On the front of the other, “Fort Fisher, Fort Anderson and Wilmington.’ On the end of the truck was displayed the motto, ‘Smoke Out Our Enemies ;" and on the front of it, “Prentice’s Eureka Cigar Machine."’ On one side was “Tho Greatest Invention of the Ag'—Cigars for our Soldiers—Great Saving of Time and Labor;” and on the reverse side, “Cigars for our Sailors.’’. The truck and the horses were dressed profus ly with the starry flag. ‘A. J. Hennion, 181 Lewis street, had a handsomely decorated two horse wagou. On each ride was designed stall rigged ehip, with the inscription, “Ship Joiners’ fociety."” The inside of the wagon was filled with the empleyes of the establishment. FIFTH BECTION. A CAR LOAD OF IRISH POTRRY. Among the many amusing additions was the turnout made by Mr. John McAuliffe, of 43 Nassau strect. It eonsisted of a large car, drawn by eight horses. On the car were placed several larg» puncheous of Irish whiskey, which was distributed to such anti-cold water Individuals in the crowd as favored ‘“‘strong comforts.” e A large banner on the car bore the following inscrip- tion OO OOLEOLEPLOOE TTDI OOOE TELE POLE ROLE DE OEED: McAULIFFE’S IRISH WHISKEY, Cead Mille Faitthe. ve POEDODE BODELOODOLLE AE IOLEDIIE DOLE” The latter sentence meaning, in English, “A hundred ‘thousand welcomes.’”’ A large banner above the casks proclaimed as follows: — OOOOOLODOOE RD PPEOLIEDD POLE LOI DESELEDE DE.

THE ZOOLOGICAL CELEBRANTS. ‘The obronicler of the ensuing account was specially Commissioned, because of his soological knowledge, to take charge of the wild animals in the procession, and record their reception and behavior in the columns of the Heasrp, It is, perhaps, needless to state that the largest he had to look after were the elephants; and he feels bound to state that they acted like perfect gentlemen on their parade. THE PROBABLE DANGER OF SEEING THE ELEPHANT. But it might have been otherwise, and hence the ne- cessity for placing the animals under reportorial surveil. lance. Hannibal, for instance, who is known to be as belligerent occasionally as if he had been born in Galway when its great duel code was adopted, might have rushed from the ranks amd made the concourse which lined the ‘route see the elephant at a greater price than was ever paid for the privilege before. He might have been, perhaps, jealous of the herocs whom ho had honored by his proud march, and, in order to establish the pre-eminence of East Indian foreste and his tribe, he might have tossed steeple high, in the most undignified ahd fllegal manner, portions of the populace in the air, and thus oblige the survivors to place above their tombs more farcical epitaphs than ever Dr, Johnson edited, Then would devolve on our zoological reporter the sad duty of recording how Broad- way was cleared in a second of tens of thousands by the elephants; how the First division ran from the monster; how he spread his broad feet over a path of slain; aud how a tragic chorus of shrieks buret from ladies and children from Union square to the Astor House, while the heroic spectators from the buildings on each side laughed at the sport. But we have been spared this spectacie. Tippoo Saib and Hannibal have conducted themselves as properly as if they had read Chesterfield on politeness just before they took their places in the Fifth division. OUR QUADRUPEDS’ TRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL VIC- TORIES. Now for the animals’ (éte-d-téte, Here comes the last of the solid columns; but there is a spectacle in reserve, which the patient multitudes, after their eager gaze of four hours on the ever-varying panorama of processional life, will soon Behold, Seven years since Gothamites pa- raded the illuminated streets of the city, singing the trip- ple praises of Victoria, the Old Public Functionary and the great Cable, which the fishes of the Atlantic mistook for bait. u transferred their encomiums from those ungrateful fishes to the elephants; whom they received with ous joy—thus showing that republics ngraverul to those who honor their triumphs, NOVEL ELUCIDATION OF SCRIPTURE. ‘The disposition of the elephants was evidently in- tended by the Committoe of Al ents, who are all church members in good standing, to elucidate a famous text of Scripture. Tippoo Saib and Hannibal were the last of the procession; but who will say they were the least? THE ELEPHANT CREATES POPULAR AGITATION. Now the concourse in Union square js in commotion; but the stir, the bustle, the tiptoe glance, is not caused by the Zephyr Hose Company, which precedes the pro- digies, And why should a zephyr announce the advent ofan clephant, when a thousand of them could only furnish him #® scanty breath, except to illustrate the magnanimity which characterized every step of his march? We must this circumstance as an in- voluntary tribute to the animals’ docility. STREET DEBUT OF THK RLEPHANT. But let us give a pen portrait of Tippoo Saib. We first saw him within « hk ig of his mammoth presence in Fourteenth street, ‘we must confeas that, while we respected his size, we had but a very poor opinion of the beauty of his anatomy. When he came near us, how- ever, with a moderate step, we ‘took it all back.” We would have reversed our opinion that he had been com- posed of a dozen feather beds—piled on an irregular oblong base, with life in the feathers—and the bac! covered with a handsome robe. But we were wrong. Tippoo, despite his size, was eful, Hoe was arrayed in royal purple, and gold flowers of bullion, in semi circles, embracing his broad peck and mane. With the cooiness of a stoic, and the dignity of the greatest patriot who ever delivered a Fourth of July oration, he kept step almost to the music of the Union. jonally he looked ‘as lordly on the masses as if he had a Hindoo structure of three stories on his back, or the royal mails of Serin- gapatam, or Siam. He carried the American perched on her eyrie and resting on @ broad national ‘and the labored (ase of his walk showed his anxiety f the safety of the gallant bird of Liberty, and hiv determi- nation not to ‘throw her,"” HOW THE ELEPHANT LOOKED. ‘We were about to omit a feature, or rather a dental a: Junet of Tippoo, but the truth of history demands ite record, and if we passed it over some skeptic might de- clare we did not see the animal, but made up the account {n the office. Tippoo’s advent was made known by somo- thing that yery much resembled a cow-catcher, and if an ilaminated reflector were placed on his royal nose or trunk, he might have been mistaken for one of the battered locomotives on the Camden road. We allude to his lvory tusks, which would repay an expedition from Joppa to Timbuctoo. He led them searchingly on the ground, as if desirous to hoist any supernumerary genius who might dispute his march, POPULAR APPRECIATION OF THR RLEPHANT. In the wake of Tippee was Hannibal, his mate. Both marched tnumphantly through the narrow passage made by the multitudinous lines of spectators before them. Both the monsters of the jungles had shrewd keepers, who led them. These gentlemen were subjected to many Inguiries from the more curious among the spectators. Phage you raffle him? said one fellow,” and I'll take a ticket.”’ keeper judiciously made no reply.

THE FLAS OF THE STAR OF THE WEST. One of the most interesting incidents connected with the celebration yesterday was tho displaying of the flag of the Star of the Went by Marshall 0, Roberts, Eaq., from his residence, Fifth avenue, corner of Eighteeath stroet, Atam curly hour a large crowd of persona con- gregated in front of Mr. Roberts’ house, and there pa tently awaited tho displaying of the flag, and who, when it fell in graceful folds from the balcony, grected it with round after round of the most enthusiastic applause. Desiegihe entire day crowds regated to viow the flag which opened the war, and which now appeared in all splendor to celebrate the recent trinmphs over its as- sailants. It will bo remembered that it was on this fing that the rebels (Washington Artillery, of Charleston) fi fired while it floated over the Star of the West, which had boon sent out with provisions to relieve the auffer- garrison at Fort Sumter.

The principal stand from which the eminent, 0 were to give expression to the feelings which moves hearts of the hundrods of thousands who witnessed participated in tho magnificent demonstration yesterday. was located in Union square, It was beautifully deco- rated with stroamors and flags and fine portraits of Grant, Sherman, Shoridan and Kilpatrick, At # quarter past four the committee and the orators left their room at the Maison Dorée and proceeded to the stand, where ex-Gov- ernor Kino called the assemblage to order by saying that the occasion upon which they had met was one ever to be remembered by the people of the city of New York. Rev. Dr. Vanmitys made an appropriate prayer, after which Major Genorsl Joux A. Dix was introduced as the presiding officer, and, on presenting himself, was loudiy and enthusiastically cheered. SPEECH OF MAJOR GENERAL DIX. Fruow four years ago you were assembled where you stand to-day. The insurrection of the Southern States against the authority of the govern. ment had just broken out into acts of treachory and vio- and culmjnated in the capture of Fort Sumter. ‘We came togethor to give to the country and to each other a solemn pledge that this insurreetion, founded in no just cause or provocation, should be put down, at whatever cost of treasure or blood. The pledge bas thus far been redeemed ; and we are bere now to congratulate the coun- try on the recent extraord! successes of the national arms—the wonderfni march of Sherman from Atlanta to the ocean; the bombardment of Fort Fisher, unparalleled in naval warfare; the irreaistible assault on that fort, one of the most memorable in modern times, and the evacua- tien of Savannah, Columbia, Wilmington and Charleston. (Cheers.) And now, at the hag 9 hour when we ure re- joicing in these victories, comes the glorious intelligence ‘of the defeat and capture of Early and his forces by She- ridap. (Loud cheers.) When you were standing here four years ago, the fiag of Fort Sumter, tat- tered “by wind and storm, and rent by rebel missiles, was unfurled before you. It had been hauled ‘down by its gallant defenders when they ‘were worn out by fatigue and famine. The banner of the Union floats again over the battlements of that fort- Fess, an emblem of the restored authority and the vindi- cated honor of the govorument and the poople. The boastful violators of the national order and tranquility— chief actors, as they were, in the conspirucy to overthrow the government of their countryeare flying before the victorious armies of the republic, far away from the guilty city in which their treason was hatched and ma tu ‘e could not pass by this triumphant vindica- ‘tion of the cause of the Union in silence with- out a heartiess indifference to the gallant men through whose dangers, toils and suflerings it las been achieved, nor without criminal ingratitude to the superintending Providence, under whose protection and guidance our armies have been Jed on to victory. Much, no doubt, is yet to be done to bring the war to a close. But I feel’ assured that history will record the successes we are Commemorating among the closing acts of the rebellion. 1 do not intend, fellow citi- zgns, to enter into any detail of the events, aghievements, ngers or difficulties which have marked Mhis great do- mestic confict—a conflict without a parallel in modern tUmes—almost without a parallel in any times, even the most ote. Let us thank God that the spirit of deter- minatn with which it has been carried on by us has never faltered for & moment, and that it hus never been sullied by any feeling of bitterness towards our mis- guided brethren, even though they wore Seams, with bloody hands, at the nation’s life. There is in our cause which should degenerato into vindictiveness or cruelty, We are struggling to pre- serve unbreken the national Caen wg und to prevent a social disruption between States which, once disse’ would never come her again but for purposes bloodshed and oe not enlarge on these topica. ‘There are eloquen to come after me who can do far better justice to them than myself. But there are one or two considerations arising out of the European view of this domestic contest to which I wish brietly to call your attention. It is very strange that many of those who have been looking on across the Atlantic should all at once have forgotton thet the national wrongs, for which the United States have been so much re- roached by Europeans in past years, are all of ‘thern growth—slavery, filibustering and repu- diation. From this threefold ‘exfoliation of political evil—the noxious son of the Southern hot bed—the darker crime of rebellion has sprung up. We of the North, though participating in the odium of the three first by virtue of our common brotherhood with the South, have, in trush, no responsibility for cither. We hold no slaves; we have never set on foot a piratical ex- pedition against a friendly power; “iissisaipp!, the home of Jefferson Davis, is the only one of the United States which has persisted for a quarter of a century in repudi- ating her debis, Those abroad who have taken Part against us have ranged themselves on the side of all this political wrong, Virtually sustaining now what in the past they have been most vociferous to condemn. No motive could be strong enough to account for such a choice but a desire to wh us broken up for the purpose of ou! weakenii power. Lord Brougham, in a sketch the life of Jefferson written twenty-five years ago, alluded to the existe of such ® feeling in Europe. It has not, perhaps, manifested itself so much among the most enlightened statesmen ef France and E! d, as among those narrow-minded poli- ticians who look for national greatness in the woakness of other states, rather than in a magnanimous policy which regards t] family of nations as one, and the prosperity of an element of pr rity for all the others. It source of sincere gratification to us that, in bearing up against our heavy burdens, some of the most intelligent men of land—John Bright, Rich- ard Cobden, Goldwin Smith and othera—have encor us ~ en approving voices, felt, with us, that wo tere battling for the interests of stable government throughout the world, and that if we had ignobly failed for want of courage and constancy, we should have been abased forever in the judgment of mankind. But sympathy with the cause of domestic treason is not the only legacy Kurope has left to us and our posterity. I believe it can be demonstrated that this war would have been over two _— ago if it bad not been kept alive by means of military supplies—arms, ammunition, the munitions of war, everything, in short, essential to the support of armiee—manufactured in the workshops and smuggled into rebel ports by the blockade runners of neutral Britain. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Our com. merce has been swept from the ocean by armed vessels built in her shipy: and fitted out im her ports. And I do not hesitate to express the opinion that these aids to the rebel cause have, by prolonging the war, added at least fifteen hundred millions of dollars to our immense national debt. It is against these ombarrassments, which ought never to have been superadded to such as were inherent in this great contest, that it has been carried on, and is now, as all the indications manifest, approaching its conclusion. It {s to expross our thankfulness for this triumphant issue of the contest that we are here to-day. We come together in no personal or party spirit. The feeling which antmates us is as broad as the country itself. We rejoice in the achievements of the past and the bopes of the future, Wo rejoice that the calamities of war are soon to be over; that the Union is to be re-established with its ancient boundaries, and in all ite ancient honor and strongth; that fuvoluntary servitude, the cause of all our dissensions, is to be cradicated ‘constitutional moans—(cheors); that the groat body of the Southern people, when their guilty leaders shall have been expelled, will return their allegiance to the govern- ment of their fathers, and that the country will mov rosperity and. power, For these Pp Power, For these bopes Bow can we be sufficiently Raler of the Universe, who is now and uncertainty of the months ago, and remember the universal order and quiet which prevailed, we cannot but regard thom as a most remarkable proof of the excellence of our political ays- tem, and of the moral and intellectyal elevation of the American people. 8 we should fall to es throu; the excitement _ b; which the cow seemed be conyulsed. And yet, under the ini Of the most intone felt and amid the conflict of the most | interests wit! which the people ever exerci: the right of su! ¥ they went to the polls with a calmnoss ominently sigi cant of their ty te of the solemn duty they had to form. And they are now acquieacing in the voice of he majority with @ cheerfulness which shows how far superior to all prejudice, passion or personal metive are their respect for the law and. their faith ia our political organization. There is @ moral of dep significance in this peacofal submission to the popular will, It carrios with it the assarance that whenever a successful party ts called on by tho behest of the people to lay down the ensigna of authority, thoy will be Lye ge with the same choerfulness, an the mnovement of the govérnment will go on in other hands without disturbanoe or shock it is in trying omerg@bcies like thes that the charactor of a great people is broughtout im bold and manly relief; andi ia with this sacred deference the established orter of government apd society that we ent ourselves to the Other nations of the world, challenging thoir reapect by rising above wl parlivanehip, and Inowing om ther Americans in al! that concn he he and or hy OF Une Orv rivbry, arn fy > wr ponuiar Hire, UMMA ® Lone tub aL (roe gem | -_ sectotarics, after which Judge Dane proposed patriotic setting forth that the duty of taking 'y Of taking up arms to preserve Se onthe, anexpoctedty cast upon us in «time ef pro- peac Prosperity, wae an obligation the memories of the pasi and tho hoves of the future, and would be rosslutely fullilled and stoadfustly anain- tained at every cost aud by every sacrifice; that the war was not prosecuted by ua with vindictiveness, or with a desire tv subjugate, but with the sol» purpose of main. taining the gov: and that (he national flag, wav. | ing in triumph over the city whore thy seeds of rebellion germinated, and where that sacred emblem was first to sulted, kindles all loyal hearts with gratitude, and awn kens 1 the land universal giadness, The ions commend in strong terms the plana of | Gonoral Grant, and the boldness and certainty which marked the recent campaigns of Sherman; offer thanks to the heroes under those leaders, and earnestly pray that in the coming hour of battle their valor may be crowned with complete and dec:sive trinmph — ‘Tho mag: nifcont naval victories of Farragut, Dupont and Port r wore mentioned as giving our fag that pre-eminence upon the ocean which secured us against invasion and extablished our fame and fer throughout the wold, | fit wonld result from this meeting than eusued and the last resolution, in muning up all the Union snccosses, seta forth that those victories embraced a series of events fulfilling Lhe predictions of the past und foreshadowing the results of the future. ‘Tho resolutions wore unanimously adopted. REMARKS OF JUDGE PIERRRPONT. Judge Pomnxrowr was tho noxt speaker. Ho said that four years ago thero was a great uprising of the North to preserve our country entire, and now we had met for sober rejoicing ‘ft tho many brilliant successes over the enemies of liberty. Two great questions were proposed. was the rebellion over! aud would tho North romai firm tn her purpose until peace was conquered and the integrity of the Union secured? He sew no indication of | returning all ng on the part of the South, and it wae idle now of eng lo thom. Sherman and Grant understood that. ‘he U military conquest and final pacification of the South was Dut a question of time” The speaker proceeded to de- monstrate this in anable manner. The material wealth of the ‘North was never greater than now, for houses, work#hops, machinery, abundamt food’ and costly ‘clothes wero real. The war tight provent increase of numbers or accumulating wealth, but is would not diminish our preset resources. If the rebellion were not Crushed, and the Union not restored, the fault would not lie with the people, bit in the incapacity of Lise goversment, Our mi ability was no longer doubted, but the financial question was now the great terror. ‘The richest country up the sun ever shone; the most enterprining, brave termined people that lives, offers to the eere tary, as col- lateral security for hix note, the wealth of the nation; aud the Becre! rembles lest these same people will give him no credit—iond him no money—one of the alleged reasons boeing that there is such # vast quantity of it afloat. It is simply absurd. A with strong common sense, some capacity for generalization, ubility to extract from the business men of the country the re- nulta of their wisdom and exporience, and having judgment to select from his gathered materials, and th to adopt a plan of finance to which he shall firmly here, will find tho future management of the Treasury as eusy a8 the direction of # Wall atroct bank. SPEECH OF MAJOR GENERAL AVERILL. Major Goncral Averitt, of Sheridan's Army, was intro- duced, and his presence was the occasion for a genuine burst of enthusiasm. He said, if God made known His will through events, He had decreed that there shall be @ nation called the United States of America, They had met to recognize His will and to cangratulate each other upon the occurrence of those eveuts which had revealed it. The victories upon land and sca and the march of advancement in agriculture, commeree and the urts, en- abled the North to crush the most etupendous rebellion on earth, and at the same timo challenging the admira- tion and commanding the respect of the nations of the world. We had drawn strength freim defeat and wisdom from disaster, while all sorts and conditions of men had been subject to the same discipline when standing shoulder to shoulder in bag ear of the national cause. Never despairing, the nation had struggled with its ene- mics at ho and abroad; and could the bones of our fallen patriots be assembled, a monument would rear itself to the clouds, and, did those clonds contain the tears of the widows and orphans that had been made, it would be washed to earth again. The approaching struggle of the contending armies would be more terribls than any within the past four years, and the people should be pre- pared for final success or for delay, Let us go forth striving to heal the wounds of the pation with clemency and charity, while on the other land we exhibit our inflexible resolution by e degra) of overwhelming numbers of men, Such a policy would be merciful an economical, In conclusion, General Averill made o touching aBusion to tho failen heroes, who appealed with voiceless eloquence to the countless thousands of the a ‘al North to preserve the Union forever. (Great cheer- ing.) REMARKS OF HON. JOHN VAN BUREN. Hon. Jomy Van Bunun was introduced, and the demo- cratic crowd gave a characteristic welcome to their old friend, some of them indulging in expresgious of sativ- faction, which it is not necessary to . After allu- monstration and spectacle which said he would simply advert to ful campaign of General Sherman, ho was emphatically the artificer of his own fortune. poleon said that an artoy moved like a ake—upon ite belly—and it was unquestionably true that @ great consideration in eae movements was the question of food. Sherman, by a skilful manmuvre, in the language of the Richmond papers, ‘switched off’ Hood’s army, and looking at the account of his march across Georgia one would suppose that Sherman was making a [anon ops tour from the interior to the Atlantic for the nefit of his health and that of his army. The rebels ot Kilpatrick’s hat once, but his head was not in it. ‘othing could exceed the brilliancy of the movements by which Savannah and Charleston were taken. He (the speaker) never doubted in the final success of the Unfon cause. The people had resolved to fight it through, and when the rebellion was overthrown it would be the last that would be seen in thie United States, After the war, reat questions in regard.to reconstruction, the currency, jocal self.government and the freedom of man wou! present themselves. The strength that had been exhibi- ted by this country during the last four years, in his yews gave f more influence abroad than it had ever had ip its palmiest pays. In conclusion he expressed the hope that when the rebellion was suppressed an oppor- tunity would be given to practice love and charity toward our misguided brethren of the South, while the country marched forward in a career of prosperity which would be the envy and admiration of the world, (Great applause. ) SPEECH OF DAVID DUDLEY FIELD. Mr. Davin Dupixy Firip, who was received with ap- plause, made a forcible and eloquent address, He com- menced by enumerating the reasons for congratulation upon the successes which had been. achieved by the nion armies, and proceeded to say:—I hope, neverthe less, to see a more memoruble ity op the anni- versary of the fall of Sumter. You remember the simple and touching despatch of General Anderson (pointing to General Anderson, who stood beside him, to the Secretary of War, closing with these words, “ marched out of the fort om Monday afternoon, the 14th instant, with colors flying and drums beating, bringing away company and private property, and saluting our flagMwith fifty guns.” ‘Phis was’ on the 14th of apy 1861. “Let him be sent back on the 14th of April, 1865, with se many of his gallant comrades as survive to share in bis glory; let him go in one of thoxe mailed ships-of-war which the rebellion bas brought forth ; let him be (nned the same flag on the same spot with all the pomp of war and all the solemnity of ‘fan act of religion; and as the southern wind kisses that standard, never more to be removed, let a hundred guns salute it from fort and ship, and island and city, as with the voices of a great people proclaiming their majesty on the site of the first treason against it. (Tremendous cheers.) The great lesson which the histofy of the war taught us was that avenging justice sooner or later over- took the crimes of nations as well as of individuals, They who rebelled against the gentle sway of the gov- ernment thought it had not strength to repel aggression ; but the nation was not dead, it only slept, and when it awoke it smote the rebels with the strength of @ giant. The speaker then went on in cloquemt strains k of the duty of not resting tli the rebellion was overthrown, and till thore shall be but one flag, one beart and one hope for all who dwelt between the eastern and western oceans. The crime of the rebellion was tho off- spring of another great crime—human slavery. In con- clusion Mr. Field said:—Some things have been done in this war, even on our ide, which must be remembered only to be avoided, There havo been acts of power which must not be drawn into precedent. We must re- member that this complex system, which renders the largest liberty of the citizen compatible with the greatest strength of the pation, is only maintainable in connection with the indestructible authority of the States; and that there only is real freedom where the rights of every per- son, however humble, are beyond the caprice or the arbi- trary will of any other person whomscever. Let us struggle with all our might—first, to scatter the last rebet battalion, and then to bring on again the reigy of peace, and order and law; to establish on im- movable foundations the one nation and the woe to make each supreme in its proper sphore; to build up defences, which no man may break, around person of every human being, of whatever party or complexion, and to transmit to our descendants this double govern- ment of ours, with all ite rights and all ite og pa wwe ry it will remain, through innumerable ages. Mr. 8.

After the applause had subsided, General Wansnivam: spoke us follows:—Four years ago, from this very ~e when it was still uncertain what was to bo the action the American people in the terrible internecine was shag first inaugurated by the bold, bad, wicked conspirators treason in the South, in their mad attempt to overthrow constitutional government, this great commercial metro polis, representing @ million of men and the commercial enterprise. of the Western Hemisphere, solemnly pledged to the support of the government, im ehalf of constitutional freedom, its unl mit Te sources in men and means. How faithfully it bag redeemed the pledge then made—let the unparalleled sue cess of our victorious army bear its triumphant testimo- ny. No sacrifices, however great, no demands, howeves excessive, have not been met with cheerfulness and alac rity. This has been true to a great extent since war wag first introdsced among men, but it is more emphati true as modern warfare is now conducted, And it be found to be the experience of modern times that the nations whose fiseal resources are strongest will be most likely to prevail in any military enterprise In which they may becngaged.

After alluding to and endorsing the action of Congress in the adoption of the constitutional amend. ment, the speaker closed his remarks with an urgemt appeal to the people to show their patriotism at this moment, when our country stood most in need of it. General Walbridge was frequently interrupted with the greatest applause, and in conclus on offered the fol- lowing resolution, which was unanimously adopted :— That the citizens of New York, here assembled and the Renolved, jorate the success of the national aim continued triumph of the constitu respectfully recommend the Board of 8} whatever additional b demanded of York, as most practical and ef Ahening (ie gem. eral government in its efforts to suppress tae exinsirg re on, L the pres pled. was then introduced, ané by Mr. Cras, F.
