Mr.. WEBSTER sat down amid the reiterated
and deafening applause Of all present.
The President then announced as sentiment,
The health Of WILLIAM H SEWARD, The Friend Of the
Farmers OF the State of New York
To this Gov Seward replied by saying that he
knew 10 way in which he could better give a
proof of the gratitude with which he received the
title Just bestowed upon him than by giving the
confessions of political agrlculturlst. They
might be of use to tie farmers OF Western New

rushcd favors and they should be brief. l had,

of $50 acres which cost me about SlO.OUO and

confusion in the accounts Of my steward, am
unable to say accurately which, either $40 or the
sum arising from the sale of 40 bushels OF pota-
