Mr. Sedgvlek, when the President had finished pro-
,.f,s.
spcrdcd to by the multitude.
In noting upon such on ovstcn. it would be a CRATE
l task 70 US speak with unqualified praise of all the
proceedings. but We feel it duty to make an excep-
ton aud enc Of the most positive and condemnatory
force,
We do not in this connection make much account of
the Crystal Palace and its contents not being ready
Let any one enter the premises and the apparently
infinite detail Ofbeams raers, pillars, arches PARTITIONS,
glass tints and add to that the care trouble aud
calculation tn place in their proper positions and un-
der heir best phases all the goods from six thousand
contributors, and the vulgar complaint against the
place and its treasures not being ready will be swa-
lowed Up in admiration Of the architectural and grncr
ally estheric spendor of the scene Gifts beauty there
Is but one opinion Mr. Pierce and all those who came
wirh him. eng il for the first time were evidently
thrilled with delight No words are too strong for adj
milatiau first, for Messrs CHRISTENSEN aud GLIDER.
STEIN the Architects Of the Crystal Palace, and then
Mr. SrDowIcK and the gentlemen connected with him
in the elaborate and difficult work of supervision In
Ger these circumstances the triumph Of the scene so
thorough and so far exceeding expectations mus. ST.
encs all reflections the delays 10 the time of the
Exhibition and he public agreed fully with Mr. Pierce
lr,;t -, 80 g -.
couirgs as regarded the aspects of tie scene
Our objections lie in another way, and W, shall cx-
PLAIN them. We hold that the Crystal Palace is if any
thing the most eminent tribute to Arc and Industry
that this country and this century can pay.
We ID ia Inauguration should have been the occa-
sion when artists and mechanics should have occupied
Representative seats the platform, and that bo.h
were absolutely ignored by the Committee Of Arrange
ments We saw fighting men in abundance, politicians
and place-hOlders, but not single eminent
for the arts which the Crystal Palace was opened 70
celebrate At the opening Of the Crystal Palace of
London, although il was a purely Norman exhibition
clergy, soldiers and politicians occupying the seats Of
honor ard the vOrkingmen who built and stocked the
wonderful edice were kept like Roman saye-artiss
snd laborers ia the seryle background Of syinIsh
css'e yet there even amid the shams Of State Mr.
Paxton the Genius who walked it % life, was GA the
pla form. Bur We w0ud ask where were the archi.
tccts Of our Palace. Messrs Christensen and elders.
TEN Why were they Dot on the platform What
lad any military personage, OF the Reverend Doctor
This That, to do in face OF che public in comparison
with the men who created the edifce which daz-
zlts and delights all beheldersl Yesterday was
their bae-aDd they should have been seen and beard
Bur true 20 the barbarism Of this country every sne
overlooked them; they were NOT mentioned 10 terms
rhey we're not greeted BY the President of the United
States, and If the Cysal Palace had bull. itself
there could not have been more ignorant, stupid,
VULGAR omission OF their names.
Again, Of the thousand workmen who spent their
SIN aud strength and showed their courage In building
the domc-as great az that renowned b. the capture
Of Me1ico-there was not one representative on the
stage Labor was practically ignored and thrust aside
for epaulettes and white cravats,-for men who bad
nothing particular to DO with the Palace and have
cydy day or week opportunities Of appearing fty aud
profession ally before The public
Again, Of al the Exhibitors, rot one was allowed To
De OIL tie platform sacred to cergmen soldiers and poll
tcians. On the contrary, We find among the printed
orders Of the DAY the following sentence:
Exhibitor viii BE- Omitted al O'Clock A. g. End viii rs1s-. Ia
their respective courts during the cefsmonles'
Now We are quite of opinion tha, a delegation at least
Of these Exhibitors should have been on the platform
We looked in vain for such men az Mccormick, who
saved the American Department from disgrace il Lon
don, and whose Reopne Machine The Loadoa Tines
pronounced 20 important that fthe Exhibition had done
nothing else but make that invention klosn It would
repay England for all It's cost An American WHO had
