neeted with the institution. Atthe exleme enu

and TO the portrait OF William Penn, which hung
on the right Of him, elected cheer after cheer
from the assembled thousands IL was from
this spot, said he, that the first authoritative de-
claratlon of the glorious doctrine OF ''equal
rights" was made. II was here, he said, that

to receive this intimalion 5 rebuke 10 The I'M
manly conduct Of the Wing COUNCILS and it pro-
duced the most astounding applause) Your
political edi6ce, the corner stone Of which was
laid by him, penn has been, need not say,
appropriately completed by the glorious assem-
blage Of 1776, whose names and acts have hal
lowed this spot, and whose spirits remain the
guardian angels of our common country We
would in vain attempt to present this address to
your readers, the effect of which was SO Thrill

waited emotions, and few eyes did not yield their
tributes 10 eloquence which came warm from
The heart, and was more effective from being
without generalization.
Being much iatigued, and the room being ex-
cessvely hot and crowded, the President with
drew soon after, and returned to his quarters at
the United States Hotel. He left the Hall Of
independence and walked through the square,
followed by the throng, who greeted him at
every step with their plaudits.

TO the President yesterday, en- route, by the
ladies from the windows-some Of them for his
