Great incohonse Jamas P. Rely, of Virginia,
responded as follows: s3s~
To the members of the Great Cornell Of Dsla-
pare: Great Chiefs and Brothers -
vi had hoped that tho response to this cordial
and warm reception would have fallen TO the
lot Of some older and more gifted member of
the Great Council Of the United States than nv
self. But would do injustice to my own per-
sonal feelings, no less than the united feelings
OF the members OF the Great Council of tho
United States did permit the occasion to pass
without some effort TO return our grateful thanks
to the GI.at Council Of Delaware and the mem
6srs OF her respective Tribes for this public evil
dence Of her sympathy and hrotherly love.
"Year after year, In the discharge of our du-
tios, we assemble In different jurisdictions, and
We lave always met with warm hearts aud cor
dial hiends among the brethren Of our order
but this public reception of US by the Red Men
OF Delaware, amidst her hunting grounds, lends
new charm TO our social Intercourse, and
makes US feel indeed that we arc brethren dwell
ling together in unity.
"Aceept, sir, for tile Great Council of Della
ware and her Tribes, our warmest thanks for
this kind reception ltrIs, as believe, tina. lr
sojourn among you may be productive OF good !
results, and tend to bind faster the cords that,
unite all true Red Men everywhere, in the
bonds OF Freedom, Friendship and Charity.
Great Spirit shall summon us from the councils
here, 1t may be TO take us to Himself where His
council tiie of Love aud Glory burneth forever
in Righteousness.

Maine Eisction.-The election In Maine took
place last Monday, and resulted In complete
triumph for the Republican party. The Demo

our country and the indications are against
their success in almost every State in the Union.
