SO saying, away flew the good ma
tured Irishman round the square, CLAN
cling at the kitchens, and when he dis
covered fire that denoted hospitality
he Numbered at the door, and inquir-
ed, "Is Father O'Leary here I"
As might be expected again and
again he was rcpulsed. At length an
angry footman exclaimed:
"No; bother on Father O'Leary, he
is not here; but he was TO dine here
to-day, and the cook is in rage, and
says the dinner will be sdoilt. All is
waiting FOR Father O'Leary. "
Paddy, leaping from the door as if

Rev. Mr.. Conway Sermon.

This gentleman delivered an able sermon In
the Senate Chamber yesterday morning. 1t
commanded the attention of tho large audience
throughout Its delivery, interrupted only by
applause. We give pretty full report of it in
our paper to-day, to which the reader Is referred
Mr.. Conway is a native of Virginia, born
and educated in the midst OF slavery; but he
is now one of the most thorough anti slavery
men in the country.
II is known in Washington that Mr.. Conway
was formerly pastor Of the Unitarian church
in this city, and that he was obliged to leave
his charge because Of his views of the "pecu-
liar institution"
1t was a noticeable fact, and significant Of
the great change which has come over the pub.

been driven from his pulpit here, should make
his appearance in the Senate Chamber of the
nation, and there give utterance to ele strong
est anti-savery sentiments, amidst the applause
OF the assembled multitude.

The following eloquent passage was uttered
by Mr.. Lincoln in his memorable canvass with

proclamation was not a mere matter of parch-
ment or policy eyon, but deliberate act of the
conscience and heart. Hear him:
