The National Guard of the Empire State may well feel proud of the part which the First division took yester- day in doing honor to their illustrious President in the grand ovation extended to him by the city of New York, Never before on avy public occasion, probably, has the Cesire to make the occasion one of such éelat been 60 genera) among our city militia, nor has the order for parade met with so prompt and unanimous a response as was witnessed in the metropolis yesterday. ‘To this statement the more than usually well filled ranks of the various regiments of the First division bore evidence, while many more would have turned out but for the Jack of uniforms, which requirement the State has been so tardy in supplying. About nine o'clock the regiments began to assemble at their respective armories and to discuss the probabilities and possibilities of a shower, which the overcast and threatening aspect of the heavens seemed to indicate at that hour in the morning, At half.past ten o'clock the Second regiment, Colonel Thomas M, Reid, marched down Froadway, headed by a fine baud and dram corps, ‘and took up their position on the west side of that thoroughfare, with the right resting on Murray street, ‘This was half an hour earlier than the division order called for, and as such, exhibits a degree of promptitude on their part rarely met with and worthy of emulation. The Seventy-first, Lieutenant Colonel Coles command- img, preceded by Downing’s splendid fuli brass band, next attracted the attention of the crowds which had mow begun to assemble on all sides, as they marched to take up thelr position as second in line, Regiment after regiment now began to arrive and assume proper positions in their respective brigade line. By half past eleven the entire division, excepting the cavalry and part of the artillery, which had been detached to act as ‘wilitary escort for the Presidential party, were in thelr proper positions, the line extending for nearly one mile, the right resting on Murray and the left on Eighth street, As each regiment took up its position, they stacked arms and the men were at liberty to rest. THE MILITARY WAITING were of course the great centre of attraction, and cor- tainly they were worthy of the attention so freely bestow- ed by the immense concourse of citizens who were as- sembled to witness and unite in paying tribute to the illus- trious and noble patriot. The effect was truly a happy one as the chasseurs, zouaves and regulation bluee, ali brave men, most of whom had participated in the battles for ‘the Union, commingled with the crowd, and joined in Praising the policy of Andrew Johnson. The white- ‘haired veterans of 1812, and a few wearing the insignia “76” upon their faded and worn cocked hats, were alxo tobe seen mingling with their more youthful fellow standard bearers of the Union. Others of the soldiery formed impromptu glee ciubs, and sang tively and pa- ‘twiotic aire, to their own and the amusement of those ‘within hearing. ‘The waving of a white kerchief or some such token of recognition reminded many of the boys in waiting that a fair friend was in the vicinity and bad her eye on him, which was, of course, sufficient for the time ‘being to call him to other scenes, and beguile the mo- moente intervening between the arrival of the Prosident. ‘hus, the long period which the military were required to remain inactive was passed in the moat pleasant man- ‘ner, and when the ‘long roil’’ was beat by the Second on the right, at twenty minutes past two o'clock P. M., and faken up by each successive regiment along Broadway, it met with a fine response, the men jo:ning their com. mands with great alacrity. THE REVIEW ON BROADWAY. As the President and suite passed ont the weat gato of the Park and into the great thoroughfare, the cavaliy ‘Drigade being in advance, the First brigade saluted in good time and with much precision, which honor the President acknowledged as he passed each command by ® @racoful inclination of the head, As soon as the last of the long train of vehicles accompanying him had passed, Mhe regiment on the right of the line, tho Second regi- qeent, wheeled into column by companies, and having #0 formed, the line countermarched in order, following in the train. Thus the entiro line of military was reviewed President Johnson in the order and strength aub- ined :-— .

APIER THR REVIEW. At the close of the wilitary review a motion on the platform gave rise to the impression among the people that the President was about withdrawing to the hotel. But as they had come to see him, and as there was no further apparent reason to deprive them of a clearer view of their Chief Magis- trate the people, kept back in such immense masses at citber end, for a moment or two pressed against the weak line of Metropolitana and their locusts, and simultaneously at either end the Metropolitans were swept away like weak obstructions in the way of an Al- pine avalanche, and the entire street in front of the plat form was instantly filled with the multitude, who broke into the most Learty and vociferous cheering for the President, Mr. Johnson, who was at that moment on his way off the platform, was arrested by the din which arose when the people first easayed to break through the police lines, turned yound, and bebeld, no doubt, with pleasurable emotions, the throb of the great popular heart thus man- ifested to him. Even the old man of the seas, Secretar y Welles, unused to, and consequently little apt to be moved by popular enthusiasm, was touched for the ne pice. and leaning towards Mr, Johnson, asked, ‘What J 9 you think of that, sir?” Mr. Johnson, without withdrawing bis gaze from ihe surging and cheering mass before him, replie A; ‘It is wondertull”? And indeed the spectacle was on ¢ jo delight the eyes of a ruler in the land, a chief mag’ strate whose whole heart and strength is devoted to his country’s weal. It was a scene long to be remer gbered by him who, travelling through the land, will ev erywhere mect with similar encouragment to persevere |g the good work of reconstructing the Union, but can n¢gwhere else meet so mighty a demonstration of how truly the popular heart ia with him, New York has spoken, and as Mr. Johnson in his few remarks from the platform said,, spoken in tones that will vibrate and awake an answ sring echo throughout the length and breadth of the la 4d, ‘THE PRESIDRNT’S REMARK f TO THE PROPLE. Afler a great effort to obtain quiet from the immense assemblage, which swayed to and fro in front of the plat- form, partial silence was 8¢ cured, taking advantage ot which the President spoke fs follows :— FeLiow Crrexs or New York:—You will pleaso accept my thanks for this manifestation of respect and regard to me here to-day, (Cheers.) I have no speech to make to you op this ocgasion. You yourselves havo made the great speech of, the occasion. “The speech that has this day been made by the citizens of New York will tell in unmistakable tones thronghout the length and breadth of this nation, (Great applause.) The President was for some time unable to proceed, from the commotion in the gtreet caused by the pres- sure and the surging and swaying of the populace, The President continued :— j This is but an uprising and outpouring of popular foel- ing that will be imitated and followed throughout the extent and breadth of the whole country (deafening cheers). Your speech, fellow-citizens, upon this occa- sion is a better one than any I conld make, and I will therefore adopt it for the one I should otherwise have made here to-day. Another interruption here oceurred on account of the pressure in the street, when it was intimated to the President that he should merely bow his further thanks and retire. : After a little time silence was again restored and tho President proceeded: — I see that the people here are alive to the great ques- tion at issue (great cheering). One single word more, fellow-citizens; I leave the constitution and the Union in your hands in now taking leave of you. (Continued cheer- ing, during which the, President left the platform, fol- lowed by Goneral Grant, Admiral Farragut, Secretaries Seward, Welles, and the members of the mitiee.) The Street Decorations. The city presented a very lively appearance, having been decorated most profusely. Not only did the streets composing the Jine of march sow to splendid advantage, but nearly every other stroet, and particularly those in the lower part of the city. Standing at the Battery and gaving up Broadway as far as the eye could reach there ‘Was seen one continuous line of flage, banuers and devices appropriate to the occasion. The lower part of the city | looked particularly grand, the Stevens House and the various offices of the telegraph compavies standing out conspicuously. On the corucr of Maiden lane and Broadway was a large banner on which was an extract from the speech of Andrew Johnson delivered March 1, 1861, as follows: — ment and fire: on its vessels and Iwill show you a Straitor, If I were President of tho United “tatcs3 fT would have all such arrested, and, when tried ond convicted, hy the Evernal God I would have them $ 3 hung. ‘rom the Revere House was suspended another ;—- Qe cece en sess teaeeeLes ede ses Peeve se tele Melt tell ths ‘Thrice welcome—Andrew Johnson, $ The Sword and Buckler of the Constitution, = 3 ‘The Unton’s Hope and Poople’s Champion. 3 QA LTLLTI TEE TETEDODE RETA TEEELEPLELETE ED One of the most beautifully adorned was at No, 650 Rroadway.

Yesterday morning at an early hour the orders of (he Police Coummissioners were set in active motion, and before midday sections of the force were detailed to various parts of the city im which thelr presence was deemed necessary. The first aseignment which appeared on duty marched four deep from the City Hall down Broadway to the Battery, about one hundred mea, and in physique and discipline a more imposing municipal corps never trod the streets of any city. Under the wise discretion of the Commissionors in command details of the force were despaiched to other localities through which the proces. sion was to pass, and with all (tis exhibition of physical force, under the command and power of civic authority, this numorica! and gigantic display proved to be nothing more nor leas than more show, for during the honrs of the procession and Ister still, when ail had subsided and the legions of people had retired to their homes, it could not be discovered that their agency was required for the preservation of order in this buge and swarming hive of human life, i Incidents, PURSENTATION OF BOUQUETS One of (he Incidents attending the movement of the { corti: from the City Hall to Delmonrco's, occ: ug at | the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-firet «treet, was the presentation of beautiful emblematical bouquets of | flowers tothe President and Mayor Hoffman by a lady, evening was cinct, who steamboat landings, pler-, an, his entire force, that toy mig found at any of these places, “This morning be will be more 0) SSP “,etectives at headquarters and have the gift coming from one of the City Surveyors, a deputation from Long Island (incinding Coney Island, Gravesend, &e.,) standing by and ratifying the proceed. og with loud and hearty cheers AS ACCIDENT ON TITE LINE OF MARCH.

The day of popular and enthusiasiic weleome to the President was rounded off by a grand banquet at Del- monico’s in Fifth avenue, {t was a pleasant winding up toa pleasant day. Our readers hardly need be informed that this entertainment was given by a number of the most wealthy and prominent citizens of the metropolis, in order to testify to President Johnson nét only the respect to which his high oftice would render him entitled, but still more, the love and admiration which New York bears to him for his sensible policy, end his unswerving patriotiem and devotion to the Union. After his pleasant words to the people from the plat- form in front of -Delmonic the Prosident sought some repose, Socretary Seward followed the ex- ample, So, perhaps, did others of the party. General Grant consoled himself with his cigar. Admiral Far- ragut chatted. with his friends in his own joyous style. General Meade yiolded himself to good civic company. The managers of the banquet received their friends, entertained them well, and made strenuous efforts to accommodate them allas became the merchant princes of New York. It was soven o'clock and after before a movement was made to the dining ball. The vestibule throngh which the guests entered the house was hung with photograph likenesses of the President, ~ecretary Seward, Admiral Farragut, Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, &c, The dining room was most handsomely, hung with the national flag, intervaled with the arms of the various States. On the tables, in the way of ornamental confectionery, were pieces represent- ing the Washington monument, the temple of liberty, the chariot of peace, &c, The bill of fare was in French, and would not convey much intelligence to the general public. The wines, in their order, were Amontillado sherry, Hockheimerberg, champagne, claret (Chateau Margaux), clos de vougeot (Burgundy), imperial tokay and Jadeira, Au excellent band of music beguiled the banqueting houra. THE PANQUET AND THE PARTY. The banquet was presided over by Mayor Hofnan. On his right were seated President Johnson, Secretary Seward, A. T. Stewart and General Grant. On his lett were seated Secretary Welles, Admiral Farragut, Post- master General Randall, Sena’or Patterson, of Tenn., Ac. At the regular tables were seated many of our most dis- tinguished cftizens, including Messrs. J. and 8. Brown, Poter Cooper, Washington G. Hunt, Wm. H. Webb, C. K. Garrison, J. D. F. Lanier, Augustus , Richart Schell, Wm. H. Vanderbilt, Judge Henry Hilton, Judge Henry E. Davies, Jndge Baruard, Samuel 0. Ruggles, ex-Mayor Kingsland, A, A. Low, W. A. Budd, W. M. Vermilye, Rov. Dr. Vermilye, Rev, Dr. Adams, Panl Spofford, John Brien, Robt. 1, Stuart, John P. Jones, Samuel G.

Baron Stoeckel, the Russian Minister; Sefior Romero, the Mexican Minister, and the Minister from the Brazilian empire, were also present. It is ncodiess to say that the dinner was superbly served. It was balf-past nine before any movement was nade towards closing the epicurean and opening the inteilectual stage of the catertainment. MAYOR HOrPMAN's SPrRCH. Afier the cloth was removed the more interesting and important portion of the proceedings were at once ini- ated by Mayor Hofman rising and proposing the first toast of the evening, ‘The health of tne President of the United States, Andrew Jobnson."’ In proposing the toast the Mayor side Gentlemen will pleare Hii Lueir glasses tur the toast of the evening.

(Apptause.) There is one of the depertments of the goverament—the Executive Departmy,nt-—which holds that these States are still in the Unton, while’ there is another department of the government which has declared officially by its @ts that, potwithstanding the rebellion was suppressed and the Union preserved, and that in fact Statey conld not secede, yet have tically assumed and ‘i-clared ond carried out up to this moment the doc- tring that the government was dissolved and that those States were out of the Union, (Cries of “Ob,” and “*name.”) We, who contended for the opposite doc- trine years ago, contended that even States had not the right peaceably to secede. Ove of the means or modes of peaceable secession advanced was that States of the Union could withdraw their tatives from Congress, and that that would be a practical dissolution of the Union, We denied thelr right to with- draw thelr representatives, Which they asserted they had. Now, when we established the doctrine that they had no right to withdraw, and the rebellion to sustain their views of the question was at an end, and they wero defeated in the issue, these States again resuming thetr position and renewing their relations, a3 far as in them | lay, with = th federal government, and when | they sent representatives to Congress —in violation of | the sacred charter of liberty they are deprived of their fair slare of ropresentation, and consequently of their rights and privileges under the constitution. (Cheers.) We find that this other department of tbe government, in violation of the constitution, which declares in express terms as well as ip spirit that ail the States of this Union have been and still continue to be part of the Unjon—this department denies to these States their representation in the Senate and House of Representatives. (Cheers.) Now then comes up the new striggie before us. Will we sndinit—will the American people submit to this practical dissolution of the Union? (Cries of ‘ No." Why, this doctrine bas been repudiated and frequently ed to ave no existence and cannot be enforced. Now then, further, will these States be per- matted to coutinue and remain as they are—practically, far as representation is concerned, in acondition of dis- ion and disruption? (Cries of “No, no,” and cheers.) y, to permit this to continue would be giving the lie dircet to the constitution and would be subversive of evry position we have taken since the rebellion commenced. Are we prepared ndw af- ter having passed throngh the rebellion—are we prepared, after so immense an amount of loss in blood and treasure—are we prepared, after having accumu- lated a debt of $3,000,000,000—are wo prepared, after ail the injury that has’ been inflicted upon the people North and South of this confederacy—are we now pre- pared to continue this disrupting and disraptive con- dition of affairs? (Criee of ‘No, no,” and che ra) Let in } they take up the me, then, ask this Intelligent audience, not in the Jan- guage of deciamation, but in the spirit of Chris- tianity and sonud philosophy, are we prepared to renew the scones through which we have passed?

(Cries of “Yes.”) At this particular crisis and of our history, when the States are in peril, if I can be the instrament in the bands of the people of restoring this Union and making it complete, causing the government te recommouce its glorious and mighty career of prov- Ke and greatness, I will be willing to exclaim, as “imeon did of old when be saw the py) born o asias.'c applause, ambition is complete, I sik rather live im history, rather hearts of my countrymen, as having consummated this great end, than be President of the United States forever. (Here the audience broke into an irrepreasibie burst of applause, and, on the call of General Yandford, gave ‘three cieers for An- drew Jolinson, the restorer of the Union”) In conclusion, Epo gmed let "ane tender to my sincere ks for your kindness on this lon.

Weill, I am not content with wait- ing for “by and bye.” I confess, fellow citizens, in the ig of the reporters of the New York Hrkatn, the New York Times, the New York Tribune and the New York Boni that, in conducting under the direction of the caideat of the United States the foreign afluirs of the country, I have rather a difficult business to manage sometimes, They say that they want a war with Mexico right of. They say that they want a war with Spain right off. 1 know that they want @ war with Great Britain right off, for the sallsfaction of their Fenian friends; but let me tell them and you, once for all, that I in favor of all the wars—(Cheery)— which the nation shall require (Hurrah !); provided that the nation put itself into an attitude to march to the field with two legs.

T think ty tume has come for the President of the nite Stotes and for us who are associated with him to ssk guarantees on the other aside, What guarantee have we that If Tennessee should hunt- ble herself in the dust, and North Carolina and South Carolina should « the jeek,’’ and if the Southern States should give up forty of their representatives thoy would then be admitted? Ido not see any guarantee for that, New terms may be insisted on cvery day. OER SPEECHES.
