"Thi irrpnt oration was delivered before the New York Historical Society, in favor of the birth day o f Washington. Our space will not allow us to give it entire but we present the concluding portions which are more especially applicable to die present condition of the country: v Gentlemen. I will not believe that the ancient commonwealth of Massachusetts, can ever depart from her true character. I think it impossible. But should she be left to forgetfulness of herself, and all that lielongslo her, should she temporarily .or permanently stray away from he paths of her ancient patriotism, should she, which heaven avert, be willing to throw off her original and all American .nantle to dis-! robe herself, in the presence of the world, of all her nationality of tchttfacter, there are others who would eagerly seize that mantle, and who would show themselves capable of wearing it with grace, dignity, and power. I need not say here Where those others are to be found. I am iii the city in which Washington first took upon himself the administration of the Govern ment, I am near the spot on which all hearts and all hopes were concentrated in 1789. I bring the whole scene with all Its deep interests, before me. I see the crowds that fii I and throng the streets, I see the ten thousand faces, rthfcious to look on him to whose wisdom, prudence artd patriotism the destinies of the country tire committed. I see the august form, I be hold the serene face of Washington.; I observe his reverent manner, when he rises in the presence of a countless multi tude, and, looking up with religious awe to Heaven, solemnly swears before that multitudinous assembly,- nnd before Him that sitteth on the circle of the Heavens, (hat'he will support the Constitution! of his country 6o help him God! And I hear shouts and acclamations (hat fill the air, 1 see outpouring tears of joy and hope, I see men clasping each other's hands, and I hear them exclaim, "we have at last a country ; we have a Union,; and m that Uniou isslrength. We have a government, able to keep us to gether; and we have a Chief Magistrate an abject of confidence, attachment, and love to us all."' Citizens1 Of New YoK, men of this g Aration, is there any thiug which warms your heart more' than these recollections? Or can you contemplate' the unparalleled growth of your city in 'population-, and all human blessings, without feeling that the spot is hallowed and the hour consecrated, where' and when your career of prosperity &nd happiness began? But, gentlemen, my heart would sink within me, and voice and' spBecl would ciejtort Ironv iner if I were com pelted to be titttf that your fidelity to the Constit ution e-f thi" eoiwrtry, signal and unquestioned A it isy euld ever exceed that of the State -frvfuoste" soil was moistened by the blood of the first martyrs ki the cause of liberty, And whose hisfory has been characterised1 from the beginning by their zealous antl uniform stfpport of the principles of YTash fngton. The first Congress snt from the fih day of September to life- twenty sixth of Oct., and k then dissolved. Its whole proceed ings are embraced in forty-nine pages, but these few pages contain the substance and original form and pressure of our American Liberty. Its principal papers are: an ad dress to the people of Great Britain, writ fen by John Jay; a memorial to the inhab itants of the British Colonies, written by William Livingston; an address to the King, wriUen by John Adams, corrected by John Dickinson, an address to the in habitants of Quebec, written by John Dick inson, A re thre vouno men before me who wish to leaxn to imitate the spirit of their $nciE5toi!9 who vish" to live and breathe in that spirit, who desire that every pulsation f tkeir heerts, and every aspiration of their ambition shall be American and nothing but American? Let them master the con tents of the immortal papers of the first Congress; and fully imbue themselves with their sentnnems.- Tho errant I rfird Chatham snoke of this &. assembly in terms which have caused my heart to uhm ana my eyes to oe rotnsieu- ed whenever I recollect them, from my first reading of them to this present hour: ((Wtion iron lnivlsliirw limlr nt tliA na. pers transmitted us froui America; when you consider their decency, firmness, and wisdom, you cannot but respect their cause, and wish to make it your own.

I trust it is odvious io your xoru ships, that all attempts to impose servitude upon such men, to estaDiisn aesponsm o ver such a mighty continental nation, must be vain, must be fatal. "We shall he forc ed ultimately to retract ; let us redact while we can, not when We' musL This first Congress, for trie ability which it manifested, the principles which it-' pro claimed, and the characters of those who composed it, makes tth illustrious- chapter in our American History; Its members should be regarded not only individually, but as in a group: they should be viewed as living pictures exhibiting young Amer ica, as it then was., and when the 6eeds of its public destiny were beginning to start to life," well described by our early motto as beirig full of energy and prospered by heaven. "Non sine Disj animosus Infans." Some of the members of this Congress have lived to my time, and I have had the honor of seeing and knowing them, and there are those in this assembly, doubtless, who have beheld (hetately form of Wash ington and looked upon the mud and in telligent face and heard the voice of John Jay.' : Formvself, I love to travel back in lmagi- inniion. to nlace nivselfin the midst of this assembly, this union of greatness, and pa- j triotism, and to contemplate, as if 1 had witnessed, its profound deliberations and its masterly exhibitions, both of the rights and of the wrongs of the country. I may not dwell longer on this animat ing-ana encnanting picture. anouier grand picture succeeds it, and that is; the Convention which framed ine oonstitution j the spirited debates in the Stales, by the it blest men of those States, Upon its adop tion, and,- flriftlly,- the organization of the first Congress, filled by the gray haired men of the Revolution, and younger and vigorous patriots, and lovers of liberty, and Washington frfmself in the principal cnair of State, surrounded by his heads of De partment, selected from those who enjoyed the greatest portion of his own regard, and stood high in the esteem' of their country. INeither Xenophon nor lhucydiues, neither Sallust nor Livy presents any pic ture of an assembly of public menj or any scene of History, which, in its proper gran deur, or its large and lasting influence up on the happiness of Mankind, equals this. Its importance, indeed, aid not at me moment strike the mind of ordinary men. But Burke saw it with an intuition as clear as the light of heaven. Charles Fox saw it,- and sagacious and deep th inking minds over all Europe beheld it. England, England, how would thy des tinies have been altered , if the advice of Chatham, Burke, and Fox had been fol lowed! Shall I say altered forth; better? cer tainly not, not for the better for England herself; probably sheia stronger and richer, at this moment than if she had hsteued to the unheeded words of her great statesmen. Neither nations nor individuals always foresee that, which their own interest and happiness require. , Our greatest ble3sirig often arise from the disappointment of our most anxious hopes,-and our most fervent wishes:- "Let lis know, Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well. When cur deepest plots do tail : and that sh juld teach us. There's a divinity that shapes our end?, " Rough hew them how we wrll.'' Instead of subject colonies, England now beholds a mighty rival, rich, powerful, intell igent like herself. And mny these countries be forever friendly rivals. May their" power and greatness, sustaining themselves, to be always directed to the promotion of the peace, the prosperity, the enlightenment and-th liberty of mankind; and if it be their united destiny, in the course of human events, that they shall be called upon, in the cause of humanity , and in th cause of freedom, to stand against a world in armte,-thtey are of a race, and of a blood, to meet tfttit crisis without shrinking from danger, and withbut quailing in the presence oi' earthly power. Gentlemen, I must bring these desultory remarks to a close. I terminate tnehr" where perhaps I ought to have begun namely with a few words on the present state ierrrf condition of our country, and the prospects' which are before her. Urrbofri ages and vision 5f giory crowd upon my soul; the realization of all these, however, is in the hands and good pleas ure of Almighty God . B ut under his di vine blessing, it will be dependent on the character and the virtue's of ourselves, and of our posterity. If classical history has been found to be, is now, and shall continue to bey the con comitant of free institutions, and of popu lar ejbqueuce, what a field is opened to us for another iteroditu,-another 1 hucyd ides, (only mayfiis theme not be a Pelopo nesian war,) and another Jiivy! and let me say; gentlemen, that if we, and our posterity shall be true to th Christian religion, if we and they 6hall live elVays in the fear of God, and shall respect his command meats; if we and they shall maintain just, moral sentiments, and such conscientious couviclionsof duty as shall control the heart and life, we may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of bur country f and Lif we maintain those institutions of govern- mcm, auu uitii ijihiuciu uuiwi,- cjuccuiiEf all praise as much as it "exceeds all former examples of political associations, we may be sure of.one thing, that while our coun try furnisiies-material for a thousand mas ters, of the historic art, . it will afford no top ic for a G-ibbon. It will have no Decline 1 and Fall. It will go on prospering and'to prosper. But if we and our posteritj' re ject religious instruction and authority, f i olate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds ns together, no than can tell how suddenly a catastrophe may overwhelm us, that shall bury all our glory in profound Obscurity. If that catastrophe shall hap pen j let It have no history! Let the" horri ble narrative never be written, let its fate be like that of the lost books of Livy , which no human eye shall ever readj or the mis sing Pleiad, of which no man carl ever know more than that it is lost and lost for ever. . But, gentlemen, I will nottake my leave of you in a tone of despondency. We may trust that Heaven will not forsake us so long as we do not forsake ourselves. We must strengthen ourselves and gird up our loins with new resolution; we must counsel each other, and, vowing to sustain each other in the support of the Constitu tion, prepare to meet manfully and uni tedly whatever fate may have in store for us. Are We of this generation so derelict? Have we so little of the blood of revolution ary fathers coursing through our veins that we cannot preserve what our ancestors n- chieved? The world will cry out "shame upon us if we show ourselves unworthy to be the descendants of those ereat and illus trious men wlio fought for their liberty, and secured it to their posterity by the Consti stitution. Now , gentlemen, exigencies will arise in the history of nations, when competition and rivalry, disputes and contentions, are powerful. Exigencies arise in which sfreat men" and eood men of all parties, and all shades' ot political sentiment, are called up on to reconsider their opinions,- to 'eadjust their positions, and to bring themselves lo getherjif they can j in the spirit ofhafmony. Such a state' of things m my -opinion has happened in our day.' An exigency has a risen. We hnve a great and wise Consti tution. We have grown, flourished, and prospered under it with a degree of rapidi ty unequalled in the history of the world. Founded on the basis or equal civa rights, its provisions secure perfect equality and freedom to all; all who live under it are e qual all enjoying the same privileges. In a case like ours, it is to be presumed that all the wise and good men of the na tion have the same end in view though they may wish to take different means to obtain that end the preservation and pro tection of the Constitution and Govern ment. If, then, they have the same object in view, they must pursue a conciliating course, aud each be wmmg to surrenaer somewhat to each other,- to secure the har mony of the whole! this general object, then being the preservation of the Consti tution, the only efficient means to accom plish this end is the union of all its friends Applause. lhe Constitution has ene mies, secret and professed; kutthey cannot disguise the fact it secures us many ben efits. 1 hese enemies are unlike in char acter; but they all have some fault to find. Some of them are enfhusiasts, hotheaded self-sufficient, and headstrong. - They fan cy that that, they can make out for them selves a better path than than that laid down for them. Phaeton, the son ofA pollo, thought he could find a better course across the heavens for the sun: "Thus Pliaton once amiilst the ethereal pi sins,-' I-eaped on his father's car and seizin! iIip reins; Fur Irom hi course impelled the glowing sun. 'Till nature's laws to wild disorder run." Oilier enemies there are, more cool, and with more calculation. These" have a deeper and more traitorous purpose ; they have spoken of forcible resistance to the provisions of the Constitution; they now speak of secession! Let me say, gentle men, secession from us is accessio?i else where. He who renounces the fjrotsction of the stars and stripes, shelters himself un der the shadow of another flag, you may rest a'ssufed of that. Sensatiop and ap plause. These malcontents, find it easy to inflame men's passions; they lay all misfortunes of individual men, of individu al States, of sections and communities all want of prosperity to the Union. The co-operation of what ar now called an tagonist principles is made serviceable' in the endeavors' to overthrow the Constitu tion. ExtremeTw'eetaritieencerjt together, Some there are who, in their" own words profess to hate the Constitution rjeCatffieT it tofel'ates in the' Southern Slates the insti tutions existing there ; some because it does not more energetically sustain the "pecu liar institution.'' Both parties are willing to overt lirbw" the Constitution, and concert their meas ures accordingly to accomplish their eads. Now, to counteract the efforts of these mal contents, the friends of the Constitution' must rally ali. its friends, of whatever section, whatever iheir sectionaj opinions may be, must unite for its preservation. They must forget the things which- afe be hind, and act like a band of brothers. They must forget the past, the little bick erings and trifling" cnsagreemenls which have hitherto separated them. They.must look forward only to the future, and unite their efforts to preserve' the boon'bequeath ed to the world by those great men, their ancestors; they must gird up" their loins to the work. J. give my confidence, my COuntenancej my influence, heart and hand to all those good and wise men who are willing" to stand by the (Constitution, and to acquiesce in the means necessary to maintain its priceless - pro visions . without refererice td the past Or pledge for the fu ture. - i will quarrel with rid tiistn. about past differences. I will object to the co-opera-ticn of no man. We stand here flow up1 on a broad constitutional basis, and let us act in that spirit of union , which actuated our ancestors when they frarrifed the insti tutions we must concentrate our efforts to preserve. But 1 do not carry my tolera tion so far as tto justify in the slightest de gree any defection from the principles of the Union. The great point at stake is its preservation. I cannot hesitate a niorrieiit on this question, nor act well and harmo niously with those vho do. Other ques tions questions of policy are subordin ate; this is paramount. Every man who is attached to the Union should come out boldly, and say so, without conditions and hypotheses, and ifs, and ands, aud butS. (Laughter .) What says Cicero : "Deni que inscriptumsit, patrescoriscriptiiin fron te cujusque civisj quod de hac re sentiat." Let every man bear inscribed on his fore head what he is. and what he means to do in that matter. There are persons weak enough, foolish enough to think, to believe, and tosay,that if the Constitution which holds these States together should be broken up, there would be found other new and better chains to bind them. This is rash ! This is rash ! 1 no more believe, looking at the thirty -one States which compose this Union, covering so vast a country, embracing so many cli mates, is many mountains, so many rivers - I no more" believe if this Union is dissoi ved held together as it now is by the Con stitution that it can be ever re-formed on any basis, than I believe that if, by the fiat of Almighty power, the law of gravitation should be" abolished, and the orbs which compose the Universe should rush into il limitable space,- jostling against each other, that they could be brought back and re-adjusted into harmony by a new principle of attraction.- (Applause.) Gentlemen, I hardly know if it wOuld he an aggravation or art alleviation of fate. We can die no lingering death j we cannot fall victims to war, pestilence, or falriJrie. ; an earthquake alone can throw down the pillars of our State, and bury us in eternal political ruin and the darkness of everlast ing night. Such may be the fate of this country, but may I never live to see the day. May I not survive to hear any apo calyptic angel crying through the heavens, "Epesen, epesen Amerike be megale kai egenelo katoiketerion daimonion, kai phu lake pantos pneumatosakathartou." Gen tlemen, a most auspicious omen salutes and cheers us on this day. This day is the an niversary of the birth of Washington. Washington's birthday is celebrated from one end of this land to trie other.' The whole atmostphere of the country 13 this day redolent of his principles the hills,the rocks, the groves, the vales, and the rivers, shout their praises and resound with his fame. AH the good, whether learned or unlearned, high or low, rich or poor, feel this day that there is one tieasure c'OVlmon to them all, and that is the fame of Wash ington. Th'e'y all fec'orrnt Ms deeds, pon der over his principles and teachings, and resolve to be more and more guided by them iri the future. To the old and the young, to all boin iri thi? land, and iff all whose preferences have led them .to ,rrmlce' if the home of their adoption, Washington is arr exhilarating theme. Americans are proud of his character J all exiles from foreign shores are eager to participate in admiration of him; and it is true that he is this day here, everywhere, all over the world, more an object of regard than on any former day since his birth. Cheers. Gentlemen, by his example and under the guidance of his prdfcepts, will we and our children uphold the Constitution. Un der his military leadership our fathers con quered their ancient enemies, and under the outspread banner of his political and constitutional principles, will we conquer NOW. To tlmt standard we shall adhere, and uphold it through evil report and good report. We will sustain it, and meet death itself if it com we will even encounter and' defeat error, by dey and by night,, in light or in darkness thick darkaess--if' it come, till : " "Danger's troubled night is o'er And the star of peace return." At the eoGt'htsi'6n, of this address'the Ha dience rose en masse, the gentlemen giv ing nine hearty chrs,and the ladies waving their handkerchiefs,; all sharing in the ex pression of enthusiasm'.

He afterwards addressed anti-slavery meetings in various parts of the State, using his efforts to defame the Constitution and its supporters, and he has on more than one occasion pronounced the Fugitive Slave law unconstitutional.

We ratfief oftine. that they cir want something to reat', and that that something need not necessaiily be devoid of all political or commercial inter est. There are several reasons, why pa pers should be left at the dwellings rather than the stores. 1. The whole family have the benefit of die earliest and best intellifirence. and enjoy it together without any depredation of the l ie his or pleasures of the store peo ple; For, when the man of btisih6ss goes to his place of business, he may take his paper with him, or, if he be a liberal pat ron of papers, he may take two copies. a. Papers are less likely to be lost,, at dwellings, where they are immediately ta ken into the house. 3.

The fol lowing from a late English paper; is one of the best do$ stories we have seen for some tim : 'A gendemari re'slderit iri Lincolnshire was lately on a journey about eighty miles" from home, and left a favorite little dOg at an hotel, while he visited a town in the neighborhood. On his return, the land lady, in dismay, told him his dog had been attacked by a large dog of her own, and had run away from the house.
