Complimentary Dinuer from the Citizens of Baltimore to Our Minister to Eugland— Speech of Mr, Jobnso: Battrmorg, July 15, 1863. The banquet tendered by a large number of promi- nent citizens of Baltimore to the Hon. Reverdy John- son, our Minister to the Court of St. James, prior to his departure for England, came off this evening, and was in every respect a pleasant occasion. Quite a large number of the first citizens of the city, to- gether with leading statesmen and politicians of the country were present. John W. Gdrrett presided. After the cloth had been removed Mr. Garrett, in ap- propriate remarks, proposed “The health of Mr. Johnson,” who responded as follows:— Mr. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN—For the cor- diality of this reception I return you my most grate- ful thanks, Having been a citizen of timore for upwards of fifty years, you have been the observers of my conduct in social, professional and public life. With this opportunity of judging me, you offer me this testimonial of your contidenve and esteem. I am alike gratified and proud of it. I fully compensates me for the devotion to duty which, in your opinion, entitles me to it. Nor could it have been expressed at any period when it would have been more accept- able. On the eve of my departure upon a mission to England, entrusted to me by our government, where I may find questions of much delicacy and im. portance, cting more or less the friendly relations between two great nations, nothing could contribute more to encourage me than such a manifestation of your regard. Relative to these questions. _[ have but this to say, that I en- tertain a confident hope that they will be so disposed of as to remove whatever embarrassments they may have occasioned and secure to both governments an enduring and honorable peace. Both nations great in power and alike intluenced by a Christian civiliza- tion, neither should look on the other with a jealous, hostile rivalry, Or fail to see that the interests of bofh reatly depend upon the pros) ing the same language, inheritors of the same com- mon renywh, possessing to a great degree the same political principles—derived from a com- rity ofeach. Speak- mon ancestry, essential to the security of property, liberty and life—shartng equally in the admiration of their poeta, their orators, their statesmen and their philosophers, endowed with the same love of rational enterprise, they must see that Providence designs tnem to be friends, not enemies, and to this end that it is the duty of each not to do, or to suffer to be done, with- out full redress, wrongs to the other. Permit me now to say x few words in regard to our city, its present and its future. When, in 18i7, | made thia my home, her population did not exceed 60,000, By the census of 1820 it was 62,738, It increased from that time until 1860, the date of the last census, when It was 212,418, and I think Lam within limits when I estimate it now at not less than 325,000, And at this moment, as indicated by the number of fine dwellings being constructed in every part of the city, tne population is in- creasing more rapidly than ever. Possessing a climate proverbially healthy, an exhaustless water power, having mechanics of character and skill, and an enlightened mercantile community, devoted to her interest, and capabie of devising measures for its romotion, with the most ample means for the edu- ‘ion of her youth in every department of terature, science and virtue, if I added nothing more, it would be dificult to set bounds to her growth and prosper- ity. But there-are other considerations of great in- fluence. My last service in the Senate of our state was to give my support for the charter of the Balti- more and Ohio Ratiroad Company. I remained in Urat body for that purpose a year longer than { should otherwise have done, and in recurring to the measures which I have advocated in our Legisla- ture, or in that of the génera! government, I recollect with espectal gratification this one. The a3 conceived by a few far-seeing men as in, sooner or later, to pour wealth into our city and State.

The ntral Pacific and southern branches of the Pactfic road will run nearly in a direct line via Baltimore to New York, and our port will, therefore, have the advantage over New york of the distance between the two cities.
