The Iateness of the hour at which the
meeting broke up prevents anything
likes fJll report OF the eloqueu. speeches
which were made by the orators selected
by the committee 10 do honor to the
tOssts. Mr.. Hanson had a prolific theme,
and he said truly that he could not do
justice 10 1t, because he had not all the
eXcellencies Of ell the poets and orators
that ever lived, as il would take the COM
biDed genius of all to DO anything like
Justice to SO vast. so varied, so msguifi-
cent a theme. Mr.. J. NJ. Heating, who
spoke 70 the toast Cf the evening, spoke
an hour upon 3 subject with which he
was personally acquainted, and many Of
his friends tried 10 persuade him that be
made ssplendid and most mastery effort
The long and labOTiOus aUd exciting life
of O'COnnell furnished 8 theme full Of
Inspiration, aud the orator seemed full
Of it. Judge Brown, as usual, was

heland's past ana present, dwelling par
ticulsrly upon the peculiar genius of her
orators and the miraculous vitality of
her national lie and principles. 1.-The

"The ladies" suiject be is calculated
TO DO full justice TO, as hs is evidently 8
ladies' man. He kept the audience in
a pIessUrable state OF titiIatiOn during
the two hours that be spoke. Colonel
Young, our congressman, had the ardu-
OUs duty assigned him CT replying to
the toast, "Repub,icaD Institutions"
which wound up the festivities Of the
night. The celebration, in every respect,
