Emmett spoke vo the State of Xew-Tork having by its munifi cence, generously seconding the active ex ertions of Fulton, called into existence one of tlie greatest and most useful inven tion s of modern f times that of navigation by Steam. Its beiiefits and the signal ser vices of its author, were not (said the Ora tor) confined to New-York they had ex tended to every part of the Union ; tlie wa ters of the Ohio, of the Mississippi, of the Lakes, nay more, of the Ocean itself, bear on their bosoms the IWvff genius. They havecbecome the means of speeding the in tercourse between -the different States, af fordins: commercial facilities and strenjjrth ninff the bands of the Union. Nev -York may proudly lift her head, and surveying the blessings which her munificence has spread over the whole earth, exclaim in the language of Eneas, Quse regio in terris, nostri non plena laborist "With this line Mr. Emmett concluded, his attitude lofty, his tone' impassioned, and the effect spirited and fine. Mr. "Wirt replied in his usual eloquent and bewitching manner, and after rapidly tracing the collision which had already been produced between New-Jersey, Connecticut and New-York, by the monopoly of the latter, he proceeded thus : "The learned and eloquent gentleman has drawn an animated picture of the State of New-York, casting: her eye over the Ocean, witnessing every where this triumph ot her genius and exclaiming, Quffi rcgio in terris, nostri non plena laboris? "Sir, this affecting exclamation was not) originally an expression of triumph, but the mournful and pathetic ejaculation of iEne as, when he beheld in the temple at Car thage the principal incidents of the catas trophe of his country. It was there, while gazing with melancholy wonder on the fig ures of Atrcus and Priam and of the fierce Achilles implacable to them both, , Constitit et lachrymans,quis jam locus, inquit Achate, Quse regio in terris, nostri non plena laboris 1 "But. the words may hereafter have a closer'-application to the case, than my learned and classical friend intended. If the spirit of hostility which already exists in three of the States, should extend to others, fearful will be the consequence.
