Serenade to Senator bell.

.. PHILADELPHIA, Friday, May III, 1861.
A meeting was held this evening at the Consu-
tiona Headquarters. After addresses by the delegates
of the late Convention, n procession was formed,
headed by band, which proceeded to the Lapierre
House to serenade Senator Bell. Mr. Bell was intro
duccd from the balcony by Joseph r. Ingcrsoll, who
eulogized the unanimy of the Convention and the can
didates present
Mr.. Bell was received with cheers. He said il would
be contrary TO human nature if he did not feel deeply
sensible of the honor paid him. but he also felt that the
asSombage was mainly to approve of the action of the
Convention. lie did not appear TO make speech
uron the political topics of the day, but 10 utter his
thanks for the present manifestation. He alluded TO
the causes which led TO The Conventional being the
dsrust of both the Democratic and Republican parties
He trusted that the party TO succeed them would be
party of the Union and the Constitution Of the coun
try. The condition of the country required the people
to come forth in their might and manifest determine
ton 10 call back the country TO the true objects of the
institutions Of Republican Government, and not ex
haust its energies III distractions.
Ii is manifest that the public confidence in the sabi
ty Of the Republic has deterorated within the last
twenty years. The Convention therefore wisely BAN
ised from its consideration all exciting topics that have
scattered distrust between the North and South know
ing that il could lead to public good. That the Con-
venton thought fit among such host OF worthless, TO
select your speaker, Is compliment OF which feel
my very unworthnoss.
lie concluded by trusting that the party founded
with such auspcious harmony and good feeling would
be successful in establishing era, and if So the
Convention shall not have labored in vain. His
for the last twenty years was well known and would
be needless to refer TO it. Again thanking the crowd
for the honor conferred him. Mr. Bell retired amid
hearty, though not general, cheering. From occa-
sional interruptions and responses TO sentiments ut
tered II was evident that the crowd was partly COM
posed of miscellaneous parties attracted by curiosity
and that the friends of the have hardly had time
