After the grand procession Wednesday
forenoon dinner was served at Norombega
Hall which was well filled. Mayor Dale
proposed the health of the President who
responded as follows:
Mr.. Mayor. Ladies and Gentlemen u con
gratulate YOU and the people of the State o
Maine and the people of the country al large
upon the occasion which has brought all of u
here. 1t is a matter in which you are particu
lrly interested; the nation at large, believe
almost equally so with you. ! hope it may

tween the two peoples of the same blood and
speaking the same language AS ourselves. m in
tercourse in which think they are equally in
tereSted, and that 1t may prove in the end 4
most cordial band Of friendship.
Lord Lisgar who was next called out
said that he would hardly be expected to
initiate the admirable brevitv of the Presi-
dent in acknowledging the favor which
the city of Bangor had extended towards
him in the welcome which it had awarded
him. and the traternal disposition which it
had exhibited towards the country TO
which he belonged, and under which he
held high place He had feared to tind
here Il bitterness towards Great Britain,
existing in the minds of the American
people, and especially in the minds of the
people OF the New England States. What
he had witnessed the last few days would
enable him to say that the statement
should be received with considerable
qualification. His allusion to the Treaty
OF Washington elected the hearty cheers
Of the assembly. He said that the lead
me- men Of both political parties in Great
Britain would be proud of the honor of

Washington, that gave us such good feel

the lirSt nations OF the world settled their
differences by Il resort to arms, but by
