toiore met, ana with whom have acted
IN harmony at the seat of General Gov.
eminent, vino is among those citizens to
whom you committed the charge o.Inyi.
ting me to your city.
Yellow citizens, | congratulate YOU
upon your attachment to Moral PriocIp
10. My friend, the Chairman of The
Committee of Ways and Means, has in.
lerdlcted TO me the topic Of politics in ad .
dressing you at this time; aud my incli-
nations most cordially concur I'M the in.
'erdlctlon' lie has, however, alluded to
your sympathy IN my speeches in the
public couosels of the nation, and | can
not IN justice 10 myself, or TO you, DENY
myself, the satisfaction Of saying thai.
ia all the troubles which have Le(alleo
me within the last few years, | have re-
ceived more warm aud cordial testimon
Ials OF sympathy from the Western mar,
OF the State OF New York, than from
any portion Of this vast ard almost
0oundleSs Union. In former years,in Inc
heart oil the Masonic and Antimasonic
controversy, IN which took a deep and
solemn interest, it was in sympath,
with the people OF Western New York
That cause of dissen sion has, happily.
passed away. In later times, and on
two several occasions, when my sense
Of dI'y to my country led me into diff.
Guilty and danger in my public capacity,
IN Relation TO the right of petition, |
have again received moro cheering and
encouraging testimonials of sympathy
from the people Of Western New York,
than from any other portion Of the IN
ion. In both Of those causes the object OF
contention vas moral principle; and |
CO Id not but consider that the standard of
moral principle must be elevated among
people taking so deep an interest in its
conflicts with lawless power.
Or your attachment TO moral prin-
ciple have this day had another, and
pleasing proof in the dinner, Of which |
have Partaken in the steamer in which
by your kindness have been conveyed
TO this place. 1t is a sumptuous dinner,
but at which Temperance was the presd-
ing power | congratulate you on the
evidence there exhibited Of your attach
ment to moral principle in your cooper
alton in that great movement which is
promoting the happiness and elevation
of men IN every quarter Of the globe.
And here you will permit me to allude
10 an incident which has occurred in my
recent visit to Canada, in which pereci
we'd the co operation Of the people Of that
province IN the same great moral re-
formation. While at Quebec | visited
the Falls OF Montmorenci, a cataract
which, but for yours, would bs among
the II rpa xUnnHar- Of l.,
ing 10 it, passed through the parish of
BEAUFORT, aud there by the side Of the
way saw u column with an inscription
upon its pedestal which had the cur.
losily TO stop and read.
1t was column erected by the REQ
pie OF BEAUFORT in gratitude 10 tina Vir-
cir for her goodness in promoting the
cause Of Temperance in that parish. Per-
haps do not sufficiently sympathize
with the people of BEAUFORT, in attrbut-
ing TO the Virgin so direct an influence
upon this moral reform; but in the spirit
with which they erected that monument
! do most cordially sympaihize with
them. For under whatever Influence
the cause may be promoted, the cause
itself can never fail 10 make its votaries
wiser and better men. | cannot make
a speech. My heart is too full, and my
voice too feeble. FaTeUeH, and with
that farewell may the blessings of heqv-
en- be upon you throughout your lives
Al the close of these remarks Mr. Ad.
ans left the stand, amid cheers of the
multitude, and repaired to the American
Hotel, where in the evening he reed the
calls OF large number of ladies and
gentlemen, and the frenen who turned
out IN very beautiful and brilliant
torch light procession.
