On Thursday last, Hon Caleb Cushing
late Attorney General of the u, States
arrived at hs,home' in NewbDryport, Mass,
and was received with imposing ceremo-
nies. Mayor Davenport welcomed him in
brief speech, to which Mr.. Cushing re-
piled in oneof the graudest -eGofts,it has
ever been our fortune to listen to orto read
We would gladly publish his remarks en-

tent ourselves with the following eloquent
extracts.
1t was my fortune, not mapy years ago,
to traverse the Pacific Ocean in lis widest.

IN our frail bark as Columbus did on the
Atlantic, with Dothing save it, not to speak

solitary, daring linnter of the seas, from
New Bedford or Nantucket, chased the
whale in the distant bays Of Kamschatka
or the Alietan Islands, or that some Rus

from the Asiatic to the American Siberia |:
but otherwise, from the Sandwich Islands,
Beneath the fropic of Cancor,s TO the ice,
bound foundations of the Polar North, we
alone were out onsthat immense ocean.

Mid rocky wilds they thlAea,.
They flourish mid the desert lone,
They deck the silent tomb.
They cheer the peasants lowly cot,

Oh! who can tell them ali

Their blossoms bright aud fair.
Aud there, in verlml beauty, spring,
Famed by the fragrant air.
Some meath the oceans rolling waves
In silent grandeur grow,
Nor heed the Storm which DER them raves
But still in beauty blow.
And where the eagle builds her nest,
Where mar has never trod,
Where even the chamois dare not rest,
Upon the crumbling sod
Yes, there, even there, wild flowrets grow,
In richest dress arrayed
And DER the clamorous eaglets, throw
