Hon. Proctor Knott, Among the conspicuous
guests wero Gen, Grant, Comdr Gorringe,
Horace Porter, Cyrus w. Field, Mr.. Dor
sheimer, @. X. Garrison, Carl schurz, Roscoe
Conlkling and Perry Belmont.
Mr. Frank D. Carley, who responded to the
toast "our southern guests" was quito happy
in his remarks We would like to give his
entire address, but content ourselves with
this quotation:
am very cohhdent that in every part of the
south and west many who are interested In this
great exposition will rejoice as we do this even
| ing at this magnificent expression of sympathy
and good feeling. II Is received with grateful
appreciation on our part, Messrs. Railway Presi-
donts we ossuro you and certainly one which II
would not be within my language TO give ade
| quate expression. The new SOUTH rejoicing in its
fertile fields and varied products, has come forth
from out It's unhappy past Of slavery aud war to
| devote Its energies to the development of the
country and the utilization of its hidden riches,
by placing the sampled products Of the west, the
staples OF the south, the machinery OF the east
and north, all side by side in illustrations, varied
aud gigantic. We would plant seeds of enterprise,
| give impulse and movement to our national de.
velopment, and new motives 10 southern en-
deavor.
Bishop Dudley responded in very appropri-
ate remarks TO the toast Kentucky and New
York"
notable speech was that of Gen. Grant,
who said substantially he had passed through
Louisville last week, but that the people of
that city were too hospitable to give him suf-
fcient leisure to enable him to visit tho OK
position building. The exposition will un-
doubtedly have great influence II removing
whatever sectional feeling may still exist be-
tween the people of the south and the people
of the north. There still exists much igno-
rance on the part of the people on
both sides Of tho line that is now
being rapidly obliterated, A gentleman from
Louisiana, whom no met at Saratoga, said the
best thing congress could do for the people,
could do for this country, would be to make
appropriation to enable the people of the
north to go south and tho people of the south
to come up north. As we cannot expect con-
gress to possess such wisdom for another CEN

people of the north to go down to the exposi-
ton, meet there the people of the south, sha ke
hands with them and become acquainted with
them while at the same time they make them
selves known. Tho railway presidents who
had given this dinner to their southern fren DIS
would, he was sure, furnish them with special
trains for tho purpose.
Senator Beck said that the members of the
exposition committee were not there for the
purpose of asking money. They might not
be rich, but they had plenty. Kentucky is
pay for it. What they did ask was the SYM
pathy and cooperation of New York in max
ing it success. lie would admit Kentucky
had not done all she might in developing her
resources, The reasons were obvious, but it
had resources which it asked New York to
come and see. 1t had been laggard, but it
intended to catch up On its side New York
had not done all it might have done. New
York could not sit still. At present the
American flag is not seen on the seas. The
American sailor is unknown. The foreign
nations are our carriers, and take
from us tho wealth we should add to our own
stores. We have not gun, not n ship fit TO
protect our commerce against even fourth
rate power. We would even be powerless to
protect the port of New York against Peru.
Should France and Germany and England
60 to war, our exports would be sunk in the
ocean under foreign flags. He denied the
right or power of the government to deny its
citizens power to buy ships whore they
pleased, while the citizens of foreign nations
could exercise that right and drive them
from tho seas. He believed in taxation, but
not in prohibition. New York could be made
the money center OF the world, instead OF
London. 1t could become the storehouse Of
the wealth of Mexico, of Central America
and of South America. To effect this, how.
ever, commerce must be FREQ, and when the
men of New York ask that commerce DO made
free, he and the men of Kentucky would
stand by them.
Senator Bayard and others made speeches
and the meeting was regarded as grand sue.
cess.
The people of the south are rapidly learn
ing to devote themselves to material interests
and to cultivate fraternity and allegiance, ant
this will soon lead them to a prosperity which
they never dreamed of in the days of slavery
