me to select rom these toas to preface them ind
vidualy but fox the present are
due peculiarly to the Eogsh gentemn from the other
side Of the water and Who with tact and disc elton and
good temper at any time rabs subIutted to the
anDoyances to which know they subjected They
made all possible allowances for the many bors which
were subjected and they assisted us In reach
irg the point to which We are now arrived. (Appsuse

the expression Of Acknowledgements to few short re-
srks because really feel that the only proper acknow

presence Of go much intelligence much genius so

lar toast 1t has been often said that the feeling Of 10y
atty is European feeling and that it belongs to
srchicsl institution, and ands proper place this
side OF the water. II always seemed 70 that loyalty
in s proper is implanted deeply in the heart
applause The soldier is loyal TO the flag he follows
the lover loyalto his Mistress and If the Enghnan is
loyal to his Queen the American wherever winds may
blow him drive him, at all times is loyal to
the Union. (Appause) Gentlemen, you have here to
night the head of the Union. Here the assembly stood
up and ch.ered enthusiastically A gentleman OF
whom, IN presence of the ilustrous Foreigners

we have imperfectly and with difficulty conveyed What
to him President of the United States for the
public spirit the Hberay the which has
subjected him to much personal fatigue in order to
sociae himself with this public object would be most
vain for me to attempt 10 say. (Applause) give you,

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen-In responding to the
sentiment you have pronounced, my thoughts,
confess, dwell upon circumstance which mars, and
far know. the only circumstance that does the
festivities Of this joyous occasion alude to the illness
ard absence.of Lord Ellesmere (Applause) Gratided
all that he came, how much has that gratiH
cation beepenhaDced by the fact that he alone
but that his family sraced and hopored the naugura
tien Of your exhibition by their presence Applause
! am sure should hardly be excused if we're to fail
here to refer to gentleman who has paid to
try snd countrymen many pleasant compliments
more, have sometimes thought than deserved
gentleman who II his reputation depended merely upon
the cultivation Of science, would occupy proud emf.
Dence among its devotees. But his fame rests upon
broader and ampler basis-upon this that he has HIM
self contributed largely to the amount of useful human
knowledge (Applause.) As illustration of what this
exhibition likely to do, very much impressed
by what Sir Charles Lye himself told me, that an emil
lent inventor and machinst discovered upon visiting
the workshops of Lowell that while they accomplished
in the working Of iron in hour what it takes
Eve to perform yet in the cutting Of wsod the ad-
vantage is just great IN favor Of machinery.
(Arp'ause.) striking fact, when 1t is remembered
that the United States and England are now, with
tie wonderful application of steam, only nine ten
days apart. (Applause) While we return our CRATE
full Acknowledgements to all the governments and nations
here representa- DO not ali hearts unite with in the
expression of the hope that the only rivalry which may
spring up between them and US shall be the rivalry
of earnest determined steady effort to promote the ele
walton of the race and peace and good neghborhood
among nations and men?
Great applause followed during which the Presiden.
sat down.
The company then gave three cheers in honor of the
President who immediately afterwards RETIRED in comra
ny with General Wool and Secretary Webster and pro-
ceeded to attend the opera at Castle Garden.
Sir SEpGwIcK proposed the next toast. He said-We

discharge ard who have also US the honor to be
present at inauguratcn and who here to night
