We learn that the flag Captains of the Indepen-

cepton of the distinguished visitors, and have most
promptly facilitated the arrangements of the civil
authorities and citizens for the Presidential recep-

authorities of that city.

with full representation of the fairer portion of our
citizens, and those of our sister city Of Brooklyn,
which will constitute of the most beautiful
aquatic excursions which has ever graced our wa

HoNEsTY.-That very plous sheet the Journal of
Commerce, yesterday very deliberately stole an arti
Gle from our paper, descriptive of the monument at
Concord. The same dirty trick was perpetrated by
the Necark Daily AdDertiser. We don't much care
about such thefts-alms giving Is one of the most
merlterlous of duties, and if these gentlemen and
others of their craft would steal more frequently
from our columns they would essentially serve their
poor readers.
But when long reports, procured by considerable
outlay of talent and pecuniary expense, are appro-
priated without syllable of acknowledgment of
the source where they were obtained, by bodies of
men, who consider themselves the very pink of re-
and virtue, the offence becomes rather
more serious, and calls for salutary reproof Our
cerbatim report of the interesting speech delivered
by MIR. Webster on the Jay Map" before the New
York Historical Society," has been deliberately stolen
by that reputable body, and printed in enc of their
official documents without line of acknowedg-
ment. The notions of truth and honor entertained
by the Committee Of the Historical Society, are
somewhat different from those which we regard as
orthodox. We are equally confident, that Mr..
Webster also entertans very different views. He
has ever been ready to bear testimony to the enter
prise and well.directed abors of those connected
with the press. and to express his own Indebtedness
when justice has been done his public efforts
great deal more in sorrow than in anger, we adj
minister this gentle reproofto the respectable gentle
men of the Historical Society. We trust that they
will repent, and refrain in future from conduct SO
unworthy of their character literary association
The Committee who published Mr.. Wcbster's Bal
tmore speech, would also do well to profit by our
admonition; they having been guilty of similar
transgression.
