Now, gentlemen l am growing gar rulous,

more towards a more and more liberal inter-
course, an intercourse favorable to our great in.

a new and great change has been produced in
our intercourse with England, a very great change

While was in New York | took occasion to
inquire of some practical merchants and valued
friends how the matter was and they said, quite

cheese, beef, pork, SC. were shipped to England
every day, and that vessel Of the Target class,
within the last twenty days, had left New ork
loaded entirely with the article of provisions, to
the exclusion, as it happened in that case, though
l do not mention II as matter Of triumph Of a
single pound Of cotton or tobabcco. This is gate
a new trade as everybody knows. Who ever

Of England are better fed--tbe agriculture OF
New York is better encouraged, aud the interests
OF both are better promoted
Gentlemen, l will proceed no farther I say

things, things, TnINos. l say the time has arri-
we'd when We must give up the enchanment Of

be regarded, measures regarded, and names disre-
garded and though am not one 10 give up opin

arrived for practical measures; when we must
attend to the things which belong had almost
said, to our pence-if it did not appear in some
sort profane to apply TO ordinary affairs words
made sacred by higher meaning but will say
10 the things which belong to our interest We
must be prac,icai-we must look at things

tlemen, we may be sure that, however local in.
teres,s may prevail, however local feelings may
prevail, we shall all, when we approach the close
Of life, regard everything with satisfaction which
we have done under the impulse OF large, a broad
American feeling and we shall look with regret
on everything contracted or personal or local
which the Interests Of individuals may have led us
TO cherish in our hearts. (Cheers.) Let US re-
