Grand Banquet of the New England Society. Addresses by Schuyler Colfax, John Lothrop Motley, Professor Hiteheoek, General MeDowell and Others, ‘The New England Society celebrated last evening at Delmonico’s in an appropriate manner the two hundred and forty-eighth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth Rock and the sixty-third anniversary of the organization of the society. The banquet hall was devotd of decoration save un American shietd enfolded by two national flags, over the President's chair, Joseph H. Choate, President of the society, occapied the chair, and was supported on his right by . Schuyler Colfax, Vice President elect of the United States, and on his left by Join Lothrop Motley, ex- United States Mimster at the Court of Austria; General trwin McDowell, P. P. Whipple, of Boston; Professor Hitchcock, Rev. Dr. Bellows, Rev. Dr. Helland other gentlemen who occupied seats on the rostrum. Just as the dinner concluded and the cloth Was being removed Mrs, Cotfax, Mrs. Whipple, Mrs. Elliott C, Cowdin and other ladies entered the hall, and were received with enthusiastic applause. | beats were assigned to the ladies divectly in front of the speakers’ platform, and the fair guests remained until the close of tie festaviites. ? Joseph Il, Choate, the President of the New Eng- land Society, then made the introductory uddress, in the course of which he paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the tate Judge William B. Bonney and thanked the society for the mark of esteem they ad conferred upon himself by re-electing him presi- dent for the ensuing year, He then touched briefly and humorousty upon the question of what he termed the “national rotation’? in office and hoped that next year—(cries of “No, no”’)—he would be here to take his place alongside Hoxie and Grinnell, on the lst of ex-presidents. (Liaughter.) In alluding cursorily to national atfairs he said he was glad to observe that the national conscience had been reached at last on the question ef the national eredit, and that it had been resolyed by the people that houesty was the best policy with nations as well as individuals. Aiinding to metropolitan affairs le evoked peals of laughter by his naive congratulations on the thorough dally cleansing of the streets, the speedy and economical way in which the public buildings are erec! and its judiciary, which scorned to borrow any of the ancient judicial lustre of New England. In fact, the city did not deign tn any manner to take pattern after the country east of the Byron river, which marked the land of steady habits. There a story told of a New kngland farmer who had raised two stalks of wheat from a single grain of seed, but New York nad recently eclipsed that effort, in pro- ducing in innumerable instances two votes irom one body.

We should learn from it a protounder moral; we should jearn from it a nobler lesson. It is the grandeur of American citizenship. t is that Which has been stamped with the approval of di- Vinily; it is that we should consecrate th our hearts; it is what which we should guard as wus guarded in the oiden time the vestal fre, hever to allow it to expire or to wane. in as that which tills my heart when { think of the past history of this great country, and, daring vo look beyond tie veil, on the ucdvancing tature of the country. as it seems to me, in the good time that to my cnthusiastic tempern- hiont seems almost at hand, is to be ihe magnificent fature of thus great country of ours. (Cheers.) it ts that shield of American citizenship whieh we are to- make as proud and potential as oman citizenship in the days of Paul, It is that which is to en- able our ambassadors to stand unabashed under the shadows of throves in the Gid World. fv is that which is to itt America to aprouder position among the nations of the world. [t ts that which ia to allow her to sweep onward to the van in the march of nations and of empire, as our 7 triumphant here, are even now impressing We 1mo0n- arehies of the Old World with the doctrine that tivoughout this globe the people must. rule. (Ap- plause.) It is to make Atmericau citizenship as poten- tial in Texas as in tie city of New York; it is to make its shield as powerful in south Ca peech as speotable in Alaoama as ib is to-day in any portion of New England, (Cheers.) Nor is that all. it is to. (each those who are clotued with ihe solemn trust of representing this great realm of freemen who rule here, not by divine right, but by free insti- tutions, that when they stand speaking for us at the | bar of any civilized nation in tte world they shall not, on the one hand, disgrace us by boastful gas- conade, or, on the other, dishonor us by bow knee, (Voices, “Never,” and applause.) Then, when, with that self-reliance, that calm, that dig- uified American nationality, we command that respect to which our great resources and our Qn- equalled trials, which we have survived so gloriously and auspiciously, entitle us, then we eed not go into the markets of the world to ofier gold and silver to induce those islands of the sea and of adjacent States and provinces to cast in their lot with us,yto share with owr future. J feel ashamed, as an American, when | hear of offel to Lay soil and sovereignty, men, women and chil- dren with gold and silver from our national ‘Treas- ury toshare with us in the magnifieent future. As you would spurn a bride that is bought with gold, 4s any fair woman would = spurn a jiusband who had been lured to her side by her wealth instead of her heart, so we, as:Americans, should elevate our nationality so as to win those who are near to us tn territorial contiguity to cast in their lot with us when voluntarily and in a bedy they ask to share with us in our destinies and our magnificent future, we should then welcome them into tus increasing fold of American citizens. Doing thus we shall respect the memory of the Pil- grim Fathers; doing this we shall vindicate our own honor; doing this we shall elevate the nationality of which we are so proud; doing this and our great re- public takes that place to which God in His provi- beri scems in these later years so unequivocally to call ox. Music by the band. The Chairman here submitted the sixth toast and sentiment—“New Lagland scholarship—never more wortay of honor than when penetrated by the spirit of freedom,” and proceeded to say that he had been requested to intercede in favor of Join Lothrop Motley, the distinguished scholar aud. statesman, to whom had been assigned the task of reaponding to this sentiment. His tate splendid effort bad been too great a work to admit of his giving auother such address within a period of ong week following tt, and he (the chairman) tad been desired to somewhat break his tall trom that glori- ous. begianing to the brief response of an afver-<linner: speech by making this announcenent, JOUN LOFHROP MOTLEY then arose amid warm aud continued applause and said that he had po words to express jus gratifica- tion for the extreme cordlality of thus reception; bat he had learned already how very soon one forgot that he was a siranger in the genial atmos- phere of New York. (Applause.) ut be came here 1o-hight to listen and wdimire only, not to make aspeech: to listen to the lips of those whose eio- quence had delighted them to-night, as it had also so often rang through the country, He came to histen and admire only: and it was for the pur- pose of thanking the warmly and briefly jor their kindness that he rose to speak. And, indeed, how could he expect to add anything to the eloquent allusions to New Eugland which had already been uttered here? It seemed that te old slang phrase of New England being “teft out in the cold”? Was not at least very popular now and not very likely to be appreciated “in these =o parts’? and he had alw: posed bimsell in bis endeavors to ima; that problem was to be accomplish i Aver since the stat of the first pilgrim ‘rst rock on New Kugiand’s shore there ywed from it a current of scholarly and intel. jectual abd industrial energy, a still fowe ore this: fe reac however, which this ted, Ni taut ths been seen st an abundance of h prosperity, and thrift and industry as here: could tell how munca that current would lose m mtinent, untiL New En: T (Applause. ) ring at it the spect depth and radi and swiftness if the New Hngiand current should ebb away forever? (Applause) And ti we went further to the Wesi—io Indiana and Ohio—everywhere, wher- ever we turn if we wished to seareh for New England we had but to. look around us. ‘The venerab nd ilnstrions and most beloved poet of our count whose fame New Yo as her own, but whom New England claimed by birthrighnt—William Cullen Bryaat--im that melancholy but lofty poem of hia outh, ~Thanatopsis,” when conceiving his grand idea of silence and solitude, bade his listener to bury himself im the woods of the distant West, where he heard no sound but that of the mighty Oregon ana lis dashing. He had lived to see that witima Thule of civilization sown, and honored and distinguished New Baglanders in the nation’s council, and he (the speaker) belleved that if Se ae arrange- ments were completed to the last exten- sion of the area of freedom in the Arctic regions we might perhaps have got a telegram two-night from the New Englanders there who were celebrating New England’s day ,and astonishing the walruses aud seais of Alaska. (Laughter) When the Recky Mountains could be taken out of our ‘stem, then, New England be taken. out of our political system without missing her. He (Mr, Motley), if what might seem like egotiain might be loned, had the honor of being descended (rom the Pigrim Fathers; and, like all good sous of Massachusetie, when le ceased to revere that good oid.

He would not now, however, trespass irther upon the patience of Ws hearers, but would, in closing, give te them this sentiment:—“New Eng- land Nattonality—May it ever be esteemed as the most binding element of the Amertcan uation,” (Loud and enihasiastic appianse.) ‘the Army and Navy—Both have illustrated the herote page of our eg by imperianaole records and immortal names.” ie chairnan announced this as the next reguiar toast, and stated that it was expected that Admiral Farragut would have been present to respond on behalf of the navy.
