:
flled with spectators curious to see the Senators
ter, and hear the progress Of the Union move
ment at the South
OGDEN HOFFMAN. Esq addressed the Senator'S
in behalf of the Committee Of Safety, recapitu
latng the results of the Union" movement at
the North and heartily congratalating the guests
Of the Committee and extending to them a cor
disl welcome to New.York.
Gen HESRY s. FooTE waa then called for, and
in auccinct and animated manner depicted the
feeling in Mississippi wherever he had been, and
gave authentic information from such portions Of
the State as he had not visited The people were
unanimous for the Union although the Legislature
and officials were now generally for secession.
In fact the "Cnion' feeling was peryading the
whole South, the North, the East and the West.
He was reoiced also TO learn that the Northern
leaders were about to cease agitation aad give
the peace measuresa chance to operate. He had
sacrificed all his party predictions in the Senate
and had united with men from every section to
secure the adoption Of the late Compromise, and
trusted the results of their labor would be re-
ceived by the people with the same spirit Of con-
cession. He compIimented the Union Trinity"
Clay Cass and Webster, for their services on the
Committee of Thirteen. When it was told to
Gen. Cass that the prospects of the Committee
would finally lead to the election OF Henry Clay
to the Presidency, Gen. C. with great good feel
ing was perfectly enraptured, expressing his per-
feet willingness to support such nomination for
the success Of the Union party. The narrative
of Gen. Foote was listened to throughout with the
utmost attention and he was frequently applauded
Senator SOLOMON w. DoWSs of Louisiana,
next addressed the audience stating that he
came from "Unon State, which was but
slightly tinctured with disunion. To be sure
there was some opposition to the measures of
peace presented by the Compromise Committee
Of which be had been member but not to the
extent which had been displayed in other quar-.
tiers. He complmented Senator Foote and also
w ebster and Cass, but studiously excluded
Henry Clay, whose name brought down thunders
OF applause, during the remarks Of Senator Foote.
This caused some uneasiness in the audience
Mr.. Downs referred to the great mon on that
Committee" Glass; Webster and here " Clay "
stuck in his throat, like Macbeth's "amen,n and
he at last answered out your own Senator,
Dickinson" The attack made by Senator Downs
upon the memory of louisiana and the nations
favoritc, Cen Taylor, when he said that the Union
would never have been saved had it not been by
dspensation of Providence in change of AID
ministration, produced loud murmurings, notwith
standing Gen. Downs disclaimed all partsanship
in his remarks He had 40 doubt in the world
that civil war would have been produced had not
the Texan Boundary Bill passed. Thousands of
gallant Southrons, he said would have Joined
Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, &c. in assert
ing the claims of Texas. He said this in all sim
cerity. He said the Union Meeting at Castle
Garden had produced great excitement South
aud stimulated the people to espouse the cause
OF the Union He regretted that the proceedings
of this and similar meetings at the North were
not more generally circulated at the South In
til South but one side of the story was given by
the press, and thus scarcely one out of ten knew
the real state OF feeling which he had now wit
messed, and of the sentiment which reryaded the
North From the inuendoes Gen. D. threw out,
he was evidently disheartened at the cruel treat
ment which had befaen his patriotic friend,
ID. S. Dickinson and Senator Downs expressed
some fears that there was home influence work
ing against himself. He wound up by ridiculing
the fears expressed by some Democrats, that the
objects of all these demonstrations were to make
Henry Clay President, and in conclusion, in low
and portentous voice, he told the people OF the
North what they might expect by perssting in
their unhallowed demands for repeal of the Flu
gitve Slave law, or by thrusting the Wilmot Pro
yiso (which he trusted was dead in the face Of
his fellows Shareholders Here the audience could
barely understand, he spoke in so low tone. and
i l
er!" which produced effect. He shortly after
ward concluded his remarks amid murmurings,
applause, some hissngs. Cheers were then given
for a great numberof the /" friends of the country
Foote Webster, Downs, Cobb and Mississippi
and Louisiana, Sam. Houston Cass and Isaac P.
Walker and groans for VIM, II. Seward
Senators Foote and Downs were then congrat.
ulated by large number Of persons who remained
behind to shake their hands
These public receptions by the Committee OF
Safety will save much money to the Corporation,
and will be found an excellent substitute for the
somewhat expensive receptions frequently
given to distinguished" pcrsonages by our wor,
thy Common Council in times past.
pREp1crIoNs-Lest the Cotton Press should
squeeze out of its report and thus cheat the world
OF an important prediction by Senator Downs we
put the same on record. Just SO sure as you OF
the North attempt to thrust the Wilmot Proviao
upon the South, 80 sure as you repeal the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, so sure as you abolish Slavery
in the District of Columbia there will be Disunon,
and civil war will rage in the streets OF your me
