Eliiatl'S Interview.

BY THOMAS CAMPBELL
On Horeb's rock the prophet Stood
The Lord before him passed,
hurricane, in angry mood,
Sweep by him strong and fast,
The forest fell before us force,
The rocks were shivered in lis course,
God was not in the blast
Twas bot The whirlwind Of his breath
Announcing danger, wreck, and death.
/, ceased. The air grew mu'e-a cloud
Cane, mufling up the sun;
When through The mountains. deep and loud,
An earthquake thunderd on,
The frightened eagle sprang in air--
The wolf ran bowling from his lair.
God was no; in The Storm.
Twas but the rolling Of his car
The lrsmpIing OF his sIeeds from far.
Twas sill again; and nature stood
And Gained her ruffled frame;
When, swift from heaven, fiery food
To eaRh devouring came.
Down TO the depth The ocean fed
The slckenIng sun looked wan and dead
YET God filed not The fame
Twas but The terror OF His eye,
That lighiened through the troubled sky
At last voice, all still and small.
Rose swsetly on The ear
YET rose so shrll and clear. that all
In heaven and earth might hear
J, poke Of peace--ri spoke OF love
!, spoke as angels speak above
And God himself uas there
Bat O! il was fathers voice,
That bade the trembling world rejoice.

The next toast was "the Emigrants
rom New-England," &c,

The next toast was "the Emigrants
from New-England," sc.
This was followed by applause for
Gov. CAss Of Michigan. He shook his
head, refusing to speak, which was an
swered by an equally significant shake
of the head from Mr.. WEBSTER. which
meant that he must speak. He finally
rose and said
He did not come here to speak, and
he must insist on being excused. 1t
was almost half century since no cross
ed the Ohio River. He had passed the
best part of his life on the confines Of
civiliz alton, and part Of 1t even beyond
these confines. He was essentially a
Western man. He referred to his IA.
tive town in New-Hampshre. He re-
membered Buckmins.er and Salton-
stall among his schoolmates, who had
served their country well. A third one
remains, an honored guest here this eve~
ning-honored by all-whose talents
have won him high name. Long may
he survive to fill place in the Councils
of the nation. This allusion to Mr..
Webster was received with great ap-
tplause. They cordially shook hands, as
Mr.. Cass took his seat, after offering a
sentiment on the Pilgrimage-the shrines
they sought and the offerings they made.
The next toast was, "Ihe Empire
State. More than one Of the pillars Of
her State were from granite quarry"
John A. Dix replied in neat speech
Of some length.
The next toast was Vermont, "Though
she has not many Swamps in her terri
tory, yet she can boast of one very val
liable MARSH"
George P. Marsh replied in very ell
oquent little speech--Vermont never
dispossessed an aboriginal settler-she
was wholly Agricultural and practically
and socially Democratic. He conclu>
ded amid much applause by giving this
toast, "HIRAM PowERs-The first sculp>
tor in the world, son Of the East a
nurseling Of the West"
After many hours spent thus pleas
antly the President declared an adjourn
ment till 22d Dec. ls46
