DERlCKsBURG.
Mr.. BARTON preiaced the second
toast thus:
ftllow-ciiisens Of Prsderieksburg'
desire TO hold a little private con-
ference with you, not to be heard BY
strangers. and which you are to keep
entirely secret. Twill remind YOU that
we in this ancient town never invite
any person to see Us unless We really
desire to extend hospitality to them,
and no official station, however exalted,
can unite US in our various political
opinions. unite US tremendously a now
in tribute Of respect, unless founded
upon high claims to our esteem. There
is another habit of our people which |
highly commend aud il is, 10 say a.
few flattering things as possible to any
one who is present, and therefore we
merely suppose case: That one
should come among US who was the arr
tificer Of his own fortune; whose en-.
ergy, talents, and virtue, without in
trigue, concealment or preyarication, IN
contest with the galaxy Of talent our
glorious country exhibits, should reach
high stationary, the most eminent
and exalted upon earth and when twas
attained. wisdom, prudence and mode
ration marked his every act, and stamp
ed it with the characteristics Of love OF
country and the absence OF all selfish
ness or ambition; man born in differ
ent cline than we occupy, and yet
knows no North, no South, no East, no
West, but who knows and loves his
country, and his whole country. Why,
fellow citizens, il such man as this
should come among US, would We only
respect or admire! No. he would take
captive our hearts And it is just with
that feeling | desire you to receive the
following sentiment;
Q. Our distinguished Guest, the Pres
ident of the United States; True to
the Constitution Of his country as the
needle to the pole. lie has steered
the ship of State through a threatening
storm with statesman's arm and q
patriots soul.
To this sentiment, after prolonged
applause, President FILLMORE respond
ed as follows:
