TRENDS, accompanied 10y l,odsWorths Danu,
at his hotel, when be made the following i'd
mirable speech:
al saw in New York newspaper pub
lnhed this morning, remark that my voice
was low, and am painfully made to feel
that it is too low to DO heard by the i'm
mense assembly that surrounds me this ev-
ening. But although my voice is weak, and
my powers Of eloquenee inadequate to ex-
press the feelings which ! sustain tonight
upon being greeted by you with 90 affsc-
tionats welcome, | can assure yos that
my heart is not wanting in sentiments APP
propriats to the occasion. confess that
little anticipated to have been thus received
in land in which the majority Of the people
are to me comparatively strangers. But
that my own countrymen should remember
some Of the circumstances, the anteceient
circumstances of my life, is not surprising.
! am happy to say that by native born Am.
orleans, as well Is by those Of my own coun-
trymen whom | have had the pleasure of
meeting, have been received with an en-.
thusiasm which little expected, and which
! may say, did NOT deserve. As regards
the native Americans, it cost me nothing to
express TO them the deep sentiments Of ad-
miration which ever entertained for their
country since the period Of my boyhood.

say, gentlemen, that il gives me the greatest
satisfaction TO learn from friends who are
well acquainted with all classes Of socity in
the city. tina, the Irish occupy here a posj.
ton that commands the respect Of all who
are acquainted with them. Among the
richest merchants many are Irish among
the leading manufacturers many are Irish;
among those who sre in the management of
stores many are Irish. Among the eminent
lawyers Of the State many are Irish. And
ut me not forget that, in descending to those
classes who have heretofore been endowed
with wealth, that they. at least, contribute
to the greatness Of this republic by the yigor
Of their arms.
