ed to him by the Legislature, the Com

of the Executive Council, the Speaker
and members of tie Senate, the Judges
and officers of Government, all OF whom
were assign seats. The Speaker vac
ated the chair, and seated himself by the
| Speaker of the Senate. After pause
OF few minutes. Captain Warrington
| was introduced, and conducted TO the
centre of the Hall. where be was ad-
dressed by Governor Tyler in the fol-
lowing terms:
SIR: In obedience to resolution of
the General Assembly of this state, ]
have to perform the pleasing task of
presenting you this sword. II is the
offering of parental gratitude-an offer
ing due to You for your gallant bearing
on board the Peacock in her action with
the Epervier
The sailors life is at the best life of
danger. He pursues honour on the
mountain wave, and finds it ia battle and
in storm and never did q more distn
guished chivalry display itself, than IN
the conduct of our seamen during the
late war. 1t had been vauntingly sand
that the Infant Navy committed to the
protection of yourself and comrades,
would be buried IN the ocean by the first
blast, that swept the Atlantic But the
blast came the battle ranged and yet
the banner ffoated in proud triumph
The waves of every sea reflected its
glory. and the wilderness itself was a
wakened by the shouts of victory-Nir
ginia regards you, her gallant son, as
having greatly contributed in producing
these glorious results.
Proud is the reflection consequent
upon faithful discharge of our duty
still prouder, the recollection that we
have so acquitted ourselves as to lave
advanced the reputation of our native
IdDu III tIit tStS VI udl
modesty so inseperable from true vaour
may lead yourself and your gallant
compatriots to believe, that you have
only contributed to exalt the character
of your country in the eyesof the present
generation-but believe not that the eff
fects of your valour are to be as fleeing
as that race of men who beheld your
exploits. The ehivalry of Drake and
a How ard, point the way to Abollir
Bay and Trafalgar.
The applause of his native land i'the
richest re ward to which the patriot ever
aspires. 1t is this for which ''he bears
to live or dares to die" 1t is the lieh
incentive To those achievements WhichI
illustrate the page of history and give To
poetry its brightest charm. Happy isl
that man who wins that reward by viz
tuous and patriotic deeds. Thie, sir has
been your fortune-receive therdis
