Mr.. Creighton, however, announced that Judge

GES. WALKER-To me has been assigned the pleas
ing duty Of rendering you cordial welcome to the City
Of Ntw-YoIk.
The day Of your arrival here Sir is most significant.

cau-e in which you have manfly struggled, aud in
which our sympahies warmly enlisted Two
years ago This day, with that immortal band IT ttfy-six
Intrepid heats-Obedient TO the call OF the " Liberal
party Of Nicaraguaooyou landed 90 Their sou TO

oppressed thtm. From that hour your course has been
anxously noted by the lovers OF Liberty here sad

Freedom about to pierce the dark clouds Of igno-
rance and despotsm which vailed the fail lands e
Central America While illiberaI fanatics stigmat
your expedition as lawless and piratical, we, who
knew the invitation whicL prompted and the motives
which carried IT out, felt that you were engaged in
holy work and that your ready response to the call Of
the grooming victims of tyranncal power was worthy
Of being chrObicled in the same page which records
the heroic generosity Of Lafayette toward our own
loved land, in the dark hour Of her struggle. We
read the record of your attack upon Rvas with your
Spartan band, ard that exploit with a handful
was hailed as the precursor of final sue
cess. Following up tBe train of events without
tIesspassng too long on your patlencel we relnem-
Der the second battle OF Riyas where with 4OO brave
hearts you drove back the force OF $3.50 the flower
OF the Costa Rcan army in terror and disgrace. Your
brilliant attack Sir on Massaya, and the iDrrpldity
and unwavering frnness which marked your every
step, are written upon our memory IN neffaceablc
Characters, aud cherished with pride and admiration
by every true friend of civilization. But, Sir, it
is not my purpose to record your vlctore,
but TO assure you that the principles for which
you have struggled are recognized, appreciated and
loved by those who have this day met TO welcome YOU
Located almost within the shadow Of our flag II was
but natural that the and daughters Of Nicaragua
should langush and pine for access to the pure ount
Of liberty from which we drank and enfeebed 10y ages
of inaction and e-raned by the heavy ftters which
have been nveted upon them by their ruthless
masters, it was but neutral that their petition
for and should be addressed 10 ~, "a That bold
heats and willing hands should chetrfuly speed 10
their rescue. We recognize in your efforts IN behalf
Of the Liberal party of Nicaragua the doctrine that
TO succor the feeble in the struggle for freedom Is
the first duty of the sons Of the sires OF the
Revolution; and that in responding rs you did TO
the call you proclaimed to the word That your arm

Mr.. Phillips having concluded his remarks, Mr..
Creighton made another effort to get the tumutuous
assenblage quiet. He appealed to them to " listen to
the words Of the President of Nicaragua BUTT was

water was thrown upon the proceeding by the rain be-
ginning to fail brsky, and it continued to increase

length to the address Of Judge Phillips yet, seeing
that he was likely to be wet down if he proceeded be
