The NEW ENGLAND FEsTIyAL.-The New
Englanders resident in New York celebrated
the 243d anniversary Of the landing of the
Pilgrims with their usual annual dinner.
Generals Burnside, Sickes, and Dix, and Ad-
miral Farragut, were the lions of the festival
Speeches were also made by James r. Brady,
Henry Ward Bcecher, Roswell C. Hitchcock,
and others-all full Of encouragement on ac-
count of the progress of the war, and the
growth Of the grand ideas which underlie it.
The following was one Of many letters read
during the exercises
SENATE CHAMBER Dec. q. 1863
Ny Dear Sir;-I had counted on partaking of
your patriotic, Strengthening, and gratifying esti-
val, where New Englsnders away from home an.
nually meet for fellowship but the senate is in ses-
sion and yOu know il i. not nv habit to leave nv

Never before since the Mayhowsr landed its pre-.
cious cargo have New Englauders had mere reason
for pride and graduation than now. We have been
told that btte leaven shall leayen the whole
lump; and this saying has beeu verified The rrin-
ciples aud the ideas which constitute fine stropgth
and glory OF New England have spread against on
position and cOntumey, till at last their Influence is
visible in regeuerated cUuntry-tried it may be by
murderOus conspiracy and rebeon-but aroused
and inyigorated TO the manly support Of human
rights. Amid all the sorrows OF conflict with
precedent let lay fast to the consolation
it is in simple obedience to that spirit i'll which New
England was first founded that we are now resist
ing the bloody efforts to raise wicked power the
cornerstone OF human slavery, and that as New
Enganders we could not do otherwise. If such a
wicked power be raised on this continent, the
MayhOwer crossed its wintry sea in vain 1t is not
forgotten that another ship crossed at the same
time, bui1eting the same sea. II was Dutch ship
with nineteen slaves, which were landed at James
in Virginia and became the fatal seed Of that
slavery which has threatened TO overshadow the
land. Thus the same ocean. the bore
to the western continent the Pilgrim fathers,
Seerated to human Liberty and it bore also cal go
OF slaves In the holds of those two ships were
concealed the germs OF the present direfu war and
the simple question now is between the Maynower
and tue slave ship. Who that has not forgotten
God can doubt the result? The Mayfowef must
surely prevail. Believe me with much regard, my
dear sir, very respectfully yours,
