Mr.. Marshal. beg leave, sir. to tender you
and the gentlemen under your command, my
most sincere thanks for the manner in which
they have conducted themselves throughout tho
entire ceremony of the day. 1t is gratifying to
me to see the streets of this vast metropolis crow
ded with freemen, with no other arms than those
of Liberty and free Constitution. We have
here no gems dormes to compel into submission
aud serviiude. Here. our freedom is guarded
and protected by the ballot box. 1t is crafty

Liberty il is not requisite thing that your Chief
Executive should be watched over every time he
ventures in public, by guard of gems ddrmes.
In this country he wants no other guard than
that which is guaranteed to him by free people

sincere thanks to you for your kind reception to.

Trough which we have passed, and 1t has graft
led me to look round upon the faces of those who
ave been so Of On associated with me in strug-
les for our common country. Applause.) Though

as grown out of the exlgences of the times, yet
here is not, | hope and trust, that difference OF
eminent between us which should alternate OLD

state. There, gentlemen, the wound infiic-

There the canker worm that gnawedit to the

These painful "reminiscences all--and let them
