The old soldiers then renar.d according to previous appointment, to the maa.on Of Mrs. Madison. Tho venerable rect of the Presi. dent under whom they had done noble battle in the second warOf independence. Alter Col Todd thei, chairman, had introduced each officer te Mrs Madi son, he delivered, to their behalf, the following al. dress:
 Honorsd M'dam:--A remnant of tho officers of the war of 1872 beg leave io present to you th. homage of their grateful respects IL Is fitting thn, the soldiers of the second war of independence should rejoice in every opportunity to do honor to the illus.rious statesman who united in his sue. cessfui career, the enYiaae title of the F aher of the Constitu,ioa, to that of the pilot who weal,. cred the storm In war which his seuse of the un. tioBal rigi:.s and character led him to recommend to the war-aeclaTing power.
 We rejoice that one so nearly associated with the late President Madison. and who shed sach haau. tifal aspect over his public and private career yet remains as link between the present and past gen. erations. We are grateful, then, Madam to tie mercifai Providence who has spread over yeu so long the shadow of his wings may His choicest blessings ever attend yoa.
 To this address Mrs. Madison, under the nfu enee of deep feeling, made the following reply,
  whose sense of The national rights and character recommended. at the time he had deem most expe dient, the declaration of the war of lsi2 com menced his conduct of that war with embaErsss meats. not as regards the official, avowed pseien sioas of tho enemy but with the difficulty of unitsg representatives for war; who were for earlier aetea aud those whe 10 be waited for to induce them into cordiaiity of the support of so very impOr tant measure. The result became a single-haadei war against the most powerful nation of the earth and was, therefore, the more glorious to Inc aatoA and you rselyes.
 His part in bringing about the noble fabstc of a constitution, to be tied down by compromises h becoming more known. He first moved in the ls gisiature of his State, attended first meeting in Alexandria. followed hy one in Annapolis, pre- cedeni to the final convention of l7s7, where tss great philosopher of the last century was to hare become the presiding Oficer aud, lastly, 10 inuys when the great general of the revolution had been prevailed upon, after much and continued persus sion, to come to the convention to be it's president and the first executive officer afterwards to set the splendid machinery of the government in motion.
 am penetrated with profound sensibity for the kind sentiments feelingiy expressed, and personal to myself, and hope our great country will both recognize and appreciate their benefactOrs n tbe Spartan remnant officers of 1872
