This morning, Just as old Independence bell
sounded 10 O'clock, the Knights Templar of

terday), escorted by the Knights of Mary Com

room of the Mayors quarters. Here they formed
in circle, into the centre of which, Mayor Fox
was admitted.

welcome to our city, II is always pleasant duty
for me extend the hand of hospitality to vstors
but there are circumstances, peculiar circum-
stances, now which claim OF me, II possible,
warmer, more sincere, more earnest expression OF
feeling on this occasion. Those OF you who are
visitors from abroad come from a city nterlinked
with the prosperity of which Philadelphia can never
be silent The movements the actions the welfare,
the future OF cities in this country are so
happily interlinked the one with the other that
what depresses one aects most painfully the other:
and whenever any one of them are on the road to
prosperity, Philadelphia must necessarily rejoice,
Tor 1t feels the glow Of that prosperity, and i5
receives at least share of the profit. In that re-
spect 1t ia to me pleasant duly to say what sim
ceTely feel-you are heartily welcome TO our city.
Another feature in connection with this, and which
impTesses itself most earnestly upon me, is that
nearly every Of you, either here or lsewhere,
are connected with an order of which l am a men,
Der. 1t has prompted me to feel universal brother
hood with ALL but especially with those who are
inte1linked with common bond such as folds US
Sand / feel this morning impressed with such SEN
tments, such feelings, that could take every one
of you by the hand would make you realize how
warm my heart is towards you, and it would be
pleasing myself to show you this mark OF affection
feel particularly honored in your visit to me this
morning. need say no more to you than that am
glad you have come, and hope TO be with you a
portion OF the day; and as am told you are about
Visiting Independence Hail. to view the interesting
objects there OF patriotic associations intend, with
the permission OF the committee having you in
charge, to bear you company.
"And furthermore, can say to you, from my own
| personal knowledge, that the gentlemen who have
desired to wait upon you in the form OF committee
have large hearts and good ability and know when

entertain toward you, and know that yeu will leave
the city Of Philadelphia feeling that it did all could
| to make you comfortable. May this moment dwell

Then to this warm and earnest greeting Mr..
| Schultz replied thus
|

| to your city, 1t is an honor which we did not ex-
pect and 1t is an honor that shall not for
| get in being thus welcomed by the Chief Magistrate
| OF this great city. now take this occasion to ex
| tend to you, in behalf of MaryandEOom an
earnest and cordial invitation 10 be with us in Sep
tember next upon the occasion OF the Grand En-
