impassible to hear all the speeches made
on the occasion. The two extremities of

Mr. McMahon alluded to the nnexpected
nature of the call which bad summoned
him to so distinguished i station, and per
haps in that consideration he might find a
sufficient justification for waiving the usu
al ceremony of an address. The loud
cries of uGo on! go on!n indicated the
wisjvbf the assembly that the orator should
proceed. Mr. McMahon thenspoke of the

of the various elements which composed it,

our greatest praise. ; It shows how pow

but full of energy, was concluded amid
loud cheering. '

of her delegation, and a gentleman ' stand
ing near cried out "It is moved and se
conded that New Jerey be admitted into

la the large room of the building known

fronting Exchange P ace, a crowded as
semwy was addressed by Mr. w, (vest
Johnson, Mr. Webster, and other gentle
men. Mr. Johnson's speech was lull oi
humort almost every sentence exhibited
some peculiarity of look,-tone, or senti
ment, that cailed Forth laughter and cheer
ing. In reference to the enthusiasm which
prevailed throughout the country in be
half of Harrison, Mr, Johnson said: "The
Cabinet at Washington are in a dejected
stated about it j the look melancholy.
They have held various meetings and
councils to devise some way to stop the
current, or to turn it asidei and one of the
President's, Ministers, after a long and
anxious consideration of the subject, pro
posed as the best thing he could think of
what do you think he proposed? that im
mediate measures be taken to cut down all
the apple tree in the country, in order
that there may be no cider next fall." -Mr.
Johnson spoke of the professions' mads

promise had been given violations of old
pledges had been excused by profletsof
new benefits every thing had been pro
lusely lavished in words, but there were
no deeds to correspond. In short, said
Mr. J. in the case of this Adminirator,
from first to last, it has been all talk and
no cider. The aub-Treasury, gentle
men what do we know about it? What
is it? , Mr. Van Buren has cited the ex
amples of twenty-two monarchical coon
tries to show that in them the sub-Treasury
system prevails, and that we cannot
do better than follow the royal example.
But, gentlemen,-there is an older account
of the sub-Treasury- than any .which is
furnished by th history of modern ing
doms, in Europe. I refer f on to the twenty-first
chapter of. Genesis for, the first
outline, the original profile.of the genuine,
unmitigated - sub-Treasury and - in the
forty-first chapter yon will find an account
of its practical operations in words to the
effect .that Joseph he wi the first sub
treasurer gathered together the gotd.and
the silver throughout all the land of Egypt,
and brought it to Pharaoh's house. Ater-
landa, all of which went to I'liaraoh," &c

After Mr. Johnson sat down, amid loud
and repeated cheering, having said a
hundred good things, which, it remember
ed word for word, could not be written
on paper so as to convey the humorous air
and manner with which they were utter
ed, the call was incessant for Mr. V eb
ster. . That gentleman then appeared, and
so soon as the acclamationa, which redou
bled at hisrisinn, subsided,he entered up
on a speech in which the familiarwas min
gled with the protouni1, and all imbued
throughout with that eloquent spirit which
chai acterizes the speeches of this eminent
statesman. As the meeting bad been
called with especial reference to the Mas
sachusetts delegation, Mr. Webster, in
the beginning of his speech, addressed
them pari!cuWrW''"He remrndedl.it tet
low-citizens of Massachusetts that there
was something like a blot tarnishing the
name of the old Bay State. It was in vain
to talk of Bunker hill, of Lexington, of
Concord those elorious mines were of
no avail, it the., descendants of the men
who made them illustrious should fall off
from the principles for which thejr ances
tors fought end conquered. t This appeal
to the citizens of . Massachusetts and to
the men of Middlesex by name the coun
ty which contains within its limits the
honored spots so renowned in our Revo
lutionary history was particularly elo
quent. As each exhortation or interroga
tory csme from the lips of this orator, it
was responded to'by Massachusetts men
in the.crpwdwho eave pledges in behalf
of thetnsel res and' of their fellow-citizens
at home IhaOhe work "cCTMdemptiotf:
should be done. Mr. -W ebster- then ad

a signal deleai to the nsurping party now
in possession dL the Government.. He
declared that Massachusetts in heart and
hand waa with ' her Whig -sisters of the
South. 'HI were called upon, said
Mr. "Webster, 'to name the State-which
I considered most1ike1yrto- give" twenty
thousand majority for Harrison and Tyler
next tall, I should name, tbe old Bay
State." '
We wish that it was in our power to
give (he precise words with which Mr.
Webster, in concluding his speech, refer
red to the Monumental City, and the noble
hospitality with which the numerous vis
iter from abroad on this great occasion
had been received. He said to his fel
low citizens of the Massachusetts delega
tion, that when they , returned to their
homes, and spoke to their, friends of what
they had seen in this beautiful city when
they referred to the monument she had
ereo'ed in memory of the brave men who
periahed in her defence during the last
war, and to that other noble structure
which, rose in honor of him whom all voices
united in calling by the sacred name or
Father of his country in sneaking of
these proud trophies, thrv would not forget
to mention the agreeable acquaintances
they had formed, the frankness with which
hrj-had been welcomed, toil the klos)
Whigs of every State felt that her.eause
was a commoM cause, the stout hearts Jer-
hospitality which had J been extended to
warde"them.:;.;.'.;V.'; The cheering at the close of this elo
quent address was immense, and the cry
was next for the Mayor 'Atf Baltimore.
Gen. Lea kin made his appearance amid
a storm of applause, and in a brief and
sppropriate speech replied to the compli
mentary allusions of the distinguished
Senator. At the close of his address, the
acclamationa and plaudits rose to a deaf-
eninz pitch, and served to indicate how
heariy and enthusiastic were the feelings
of good-will and sympathy which bound
together hosf and guest, the entertainers &

Clay was received with enthusiastic de
monstrations of applause, and hjs stirring
appeals and forcible pictures of the sail

Mr Preston, of South Carolina, was
hardly less eloquent than on Monday, and
none the less interesting to thosa who
heard him, for many now heard him for
the first time. . .
Mr. Lrgare, of South Carolina, we are

for Harrison aod Tyler upon the 'idcs of

be a torn-down, unterrified, knock-downs
drag-out democrat. Perhaps his ex-holiDff

this very popular title, than one might Ws
first sight disposed to think.', Fof theret
various distinctive appellatives that, for 't

to animals and to objects, which do not r.
nify, even in a remote 'degree, the prop
ties and real essence of those persons,
mala and objects. 3For instance, recent

either of those exercises would be con-i
