ed briefly. He said he was no idolater Of the
Union, for the Union itself-he was not for q nion
merely for the benefits it conferred. He was for
a union on principle A union of hearts and
hands. union Of Virginia men with New York
women. liepaid high compliment to New York and
her military representatives present, and alluded
to the fact that James Monroe had married New

New York aud Virginia. United In glory, united
by interest ana united by marriage, nothing but ia
naticism can separate them.

ner in which she has restored to the bosom of the
mother the remains OF her long absent son.
Jno. Cochrane, Esq, of New York, responded to
this toast. He said he did not suppose he could be
heard, or that 1t was possible for human being to
make himself heard on occasion so exciting aud
80 glorious. But a son Of New York, he was
prepared to lay all her gleries and honors ut the
feet of Virginia. 1t was New York who had rea-
son to be proud OF her part 10 this occasion, for
her sons had come on igrimage Of love 20 return
the sacred deposit she had retained for 10 many
years. If he couid be heard on this occaeion, he
would attempt to show how closely the interests

Though he felt all the pride i'm his Lative State
that could be looked or, he was yet more proud in
finding her uame closely associated in the toast
with that OF the distinguished statesman deceased
lie alluded 10 the great wealth yet undeveloped In
the bosom OF the Old Dominion, and was rejoiced
that the inhabitants of the State seemed about to
throw off the iethargy which had so long closed
her bosom to the appeals Of mining and manufac-
tures and place the state In the front raEk Of her
confederate sisters, under the guidance of the dis
tipguished leader (Gov. WIse) vino sat near him,
who was now deyoting his energies and his life to
the accomplishment OF that grand purpose He
spoke hopefully of Firgnia's future Aad urged her
sons to go on and deyeope the bright coiofs 1t

After some farther remarks In the same strain, he
closed with an appropriate sentiment, which was
received with loud applause.

Gov. Wise was called upon To respond. when
he arose, Col Duryee proposed three cheers, which
were heartily given by the National Guai d, and
