have tb continued assurances of the people s regard, t man whoee greut ayiiiies were not bounded by
nd the soticeofa brilliant and patriotic life aeon- Sute liniitsthe splen.lor of whose intellect had
added lustre to the history or his tune and country
and whose mind had diffused itst-lf wherever civ
ilization held sway-he regarded the present occasion
assingularly appropriate for doing honor to ourselves
and him.
Col. I. W. Havxe rose and stated bis accordance
with the sentiment just expressed by tbe Chair, that
it was peculiarly fit that Charleston should do bo
coniine honor to Damei. WkbsteE. Tbe narrow
and vulgar spirit w'uiou carried tbo strifes and feuds
or political warl.irc lnio social uie was ancu, ue was
sure, to the Carolina character. Nayf even in lite
ral warfare, the rules of chivalry, as well B8 thepre
ccptu of Christianity, in tbe intervals of battle, recog
nise that very hostility as" an additional claim to
courtesy ud kiuHaws- Mr Weiuteii, it is true, Is
politically opposed to a great majority amongst us,
and has been so almost without exception through
out his politcnl career. And South Carolina has,
when he appeared armed for the contest, on his cho
sen arena, been ready with her sons, who, more than
once, hare met him face to face, and given him blow
for blow, and we the witnesses have shared
"The stern joy which warriors feel
In meeting foemeu worthy of their steeL"
And she is ready still to grapple with him on all like
occasions. But when Mr. Wkbstee comes us a
stranger and a guest, he is no true knight or true
Christian who would render his civilities grudging
ly because the stranger and guest is a political oppo
nent. Mr. Webster's position requires more than mere
private hospitality. He and our own favorite states
man, of all the men Whom our country has produced
from the settlement of Jamestown and the landing
at Plymouth, have bad their intellectual position
most universally conceded to them. As a monument
not only colossal in size but beautiful in proportion,
and adorned with tbe highest achievements of nrt.
As a model of taste we should cherish him. '-His
apples of gold" are always presented "in net work
of silver." He has done more than any other public
man to preserve healthful and pure "the well of Eng
lish uudetiled." As a jurist he is an honor to all
who rccogtiue the common law. Even as a politician,
however much be differs from us, he represents a
most respectable portion of our fellow-countrymen,
and may be considered as the embodiment of their
principles. It is in some sort th South extending
civilities to the North South Carolina to Massa
chusetts, Charleston to Boston.
Mr. Hayse then offered the following Preamble
and Resolution, which were unanimously adopted
Whkeeas, we have learned that the Hon. Daniel
Webstjb, js sfeaut fQ..yisit.us oa tar tlireueh the
Southern States of our Confederacy, we deem it due,
equally to the character of our city,' and to the diri
tiiignished ability and eminent position of our illus
trious fellow-countryman, who now, for the first time
presents himself personally amongst us, that we
ould tender to hiinasome public token of welcome,
of appreciation for his genius, and of our high social
rcguni. j urruiure,
Keiolveri, I bat a Committee of ixtT to appointed
the Chair, withTatl power to represent tbisniec'-
I iu the premises, and whose duty it shall be, iq
e mme urour cirfzeri? generally. Vextend to the
on. Daniel Webster, such hospitalities and at.
tentioustu tbey may consider most fitting and ap-
prupimie.
Dr. S. H. Dickso then addressed the meeting to
the following effect :
I rise, Mr. Chairman, to second the resolution just
offered, and I congratulate myself on the opportuni.
ty of rticipating-ina movement so honon.ble toxoy
native city. There is, I trust, in the bosom of every
mnn in this assembly, ij sentimeut rising above and
expanding beyond all sectional and partisan exclu
siveness, capable of applauding merit wherever it is
found, of rcwardiug useful and diligent efforts, by
whomsoever made, and of appreciating all social and
intellectual eminence. ..
But it is rare, ttat an occasion so noble and grat
try ing aa the present, offers itself for tbe eiercise of
this better spirit. Mr. Websteb i not only one of
the favorite tons of New England, but eorues to yis
it us clothed with a celebrity not limited geographi
cal or by political association. Heia known over
tbe civilised world ; and wherever Ihe English lan
guage is spoken, bia eloquence has informed the minds
aud thrilled the hearts of thousands. Our respect
ful homage is in no degree necessary to him, nor Can
it advance him either socially or politically a single
step; nor would b auffer politically or aocially if
allowed to pass through the midst of us without
any public demonstration, meeting in private those"
personal attentions only, to which he is entitled aaa
stranger and a gentleman, aud which Carolinian hos
I'itality refuses to no on 'bearing these title. But
I am proud to know, Sir, that our oommujiity could
not to satisfied with swob a reception of such a man.
Universal feeling requires that our guest shall to
received with all th honor due to hia elevated aa
tioual character. For mor than a quarter of a cen
tury, Mr. Webstee has been an historical person..
age, and ms biography would contain a record of a
geocy in all the great events that adorn oar coun
try's antmU. Sine we ar proud of her, wa must
be proud of her men, and b is doubtless on of them
who have made her what she is. If her progress baa

AMand, April 8, 1747.
Jlfy Dear Sir .During my absence from home,
to which I lately returned from New Orleans, your
official letter of the Sid Feb. last, accompanied with
the office chair, and cMrographical appendages, pre
sented .to me by the Whigs of Auburn, arrived is
safety.
As their selected organ, I beg leave to express to
you and to them, from the chair ilie'.f, which Ibej
have done me the honor to present tome, my hearty,
thanks and reepeclful acknowledgment lor a testi
monial 40 very acceptable and valuable. It possesses
exquisite beauty, and contains every possible conve
nience for reading and Writing, down to the minu
test object, and all linisbed with Ihe greatest taste
and elegance which one could imagine or desire it
is utiite survrisinz how se much accommodation and
so many articles of utility and comfort could be coiiw
bined in so small a space. Designed and executed
by American artists, and on that account more high
ly valued by me, they are extremely creditable to
their judgment and skill.
Fur the friendly motives of esteem, attachment
and c.'Lfidetice towards me, entertained by the Whigs
of Auburn, ami which proniptel the authors of t his
rich tribute of their affection, I request their accep
tance, ii Ijii, of my cordial thanks.
Von express your regret on nceount pf the nnex
pected issue of thelastPrcsi lentialeltotion. I ought
to feel none myself, personally. Besides being re
lieved from a Vast responsibility, it furnished the oc
casion of Ihe exhibition of testimonials, and the out
pouring of affection from the hearts of my friends
and countrymen of whkh 1 h ul bu pnmuus. eoiuMaw
fiotiliut 1 ever could be the honored object. Their
spontaneous and disinterested manifestations are
Worth far more than the Presidency itself.
Kor our common country, I do regret the issue of
the contest. H id It been otherwise, we should have
preserved the Prutectiv Policy, under which we
bad uade such rapid and ueourKiug advanow ; the
uiiuu mm improvement oi our rivers anu liarooraJ
Vnillil lint ll-lva liAn nrr.trA nJ -It
should hare avoided this unnecessary War Wain-res. I
atVin with a naigbbor kn to ciai ir'-ir-f
auseaaions. the brilliant achievements, and tbe
glorious laurel acquired, during iis prosecution,

number of paragraph deacribing remarkable dia
piayaon tiia aiglitt of the illumination' io Phil

''PBtUOttWlA.' '
From tha Kvenirir Bulletin of Tuesday, we
extract thn fiillowring :
- Philadelphiana will long remember the illumi
nation oi last evening a I lie nmat splendid, tan e
fill and pairiiiiic affair ever wiiuewed liera. The
edy and the dwtricU were in a blaze -f light, and
more central and gloriuu. coiiipliuieut to the il.
iliatrioua leader of a email but chivalrous and dar
ing army, cannot well be imagined. The just
pr.u.e oi Taylor and hia brave compatriot wa
noisily sounded yesterday by l!i? loud booniinj.' of
cannon nie nnnug uf glad bolls, and by the
ironjj and willing voices of four hundred thou
sand people. ' Thousand ' upon thousand had
gathered here during the day from I ho neighbor,
ing citiea and aurntunditig country, onrii at night
fall every street . in ihe r.ily became wedged,
literally wedged, wilb humanity, of. all uru,
colors aud size.
There seemed fo be a generous rivalry to see
who should make Hie bent display. Band of
music were heard at every lurnini' of a corner.
and ever and anon, the people caught a view of
tlie transparencies of lay lor and Scott, or the
different battle" ace ties, there went a long, loud
shout, that made the linn earth tremble. Patri
otism swelled almost to bursting. ,
The Hall of Independence wag illuminated at
very point, and called forth the liveliest expres
sions ol applause from the numeroiia apeclators.
Great taste waa manifest in ihe whole arrange
ment, Uver ihe cen ral door way was placed
luil lenutli portrait of Washington, aliiidimr-i
the head of hi charger, with one band resting on
uib ncca oi ine nonie animal.
The Custom House presented a very interes
ting spectacle. Copper gas pipe had been at
tached to tbe pipes at ihe rear of the pillar in
front of the building, being lundi-omely arranged
into semi-circle between Ihe pillars, and each
supporting a largj star, containing reflecting
glass, gave out twenty jet of, light, and u ol
(he stars thirty. Iu the centre was placed a iar
larger than ihe otherv, which llire out foriy-Bve
jet. The Star Spangled Bmncr waa festooned
gracefully ovpr neat transparency, having these
inscription :" Tears for t he Dead" "Grati
lude for the Living"' " J'alo Alto" " Hesaca
de la l'alnit" Monterey" " Buena Vista"
"Vera Cruz" Above ibis was a larae Ameri-
ran Eagle, bearing in his beak a beautiful wreath
ol flower. Other ornament were ihere which
won praise from l he people.
Tbe Ledger building gave out seven hundred
and titty lights, and a beautiful transparency rep
resenting Scott and Taylor, with l lie glorious
fields of Buena Vista and Vera Cruz in the back
ground, and the wtmlo Hunnounicd by the Amer
ican Eagle. On the top of this tine building wa
I id the Druinmond Lght, which sent forth in
intense brilliancy, rendering the streets forsquare
almost aa light as at noon. day. Thirty Ameri
can flags were displayed from Ihe llurd story
windows, representing the thirty Stale of th;
great Union.
Immediately adjoining the Ledger building-, a
magnificent transparency of about twenty five
by eiglueeo feet, covered the whole front of the
iiuilding and the two upper stories The eignifi-
IrHiiLexpreBsiutviVliiiia mate grape-. Captain
Bragg, arched a handsomely executed picture
of Gen- Taylor, on horse-back, near Bragg' bat
tery, and the Mexicans in overwhelming number
'u&hing to the charge. In front of ibia picture
waa suspended a beautiful ship, hung with light
ed Chinese lamp.
A transparency in ihe second story of ihe buil
ding at the corner of Seventh aud Chestnut, call
edfforrh the merriest humor of the gay thousand
