President Claiborne Adams, who pre-
sided at the meeting, congratulated the
young man on his address; said he had
often wondered who would be the sue
cessors to our Baileys, our Culbersons
and our Sheppards, but he no longer
was troubled about one. at least; he
could see a young man whose oratOry
would one day resound in the halls OF
congress and make fore famous the
name OF FL PasO. Then in Jocular
spirit he called upon customs collector
T. 1. Cobb to defend his laurels,
Nj Cobb said that he had been men
toned as an orator on occasions, but
wished to give the honOrs to my
young friend; I want my cOngratula-
lions to him TO be the congratulations
Of one young fellow to another young
fellow" he said Then Mr.. Cobb warned
him that in his God given gift OF ora
tory, he carried a responsibility that
he must appreciate If you lift your
voice in the cause Of what is just and
right, then you are using your powers
for the purpose for which they were
bestowed by the Almighty" said Mr..
Cobb, but II you should raise your
voice in behalf Of things that are not
right-and I predict that you will never
do this-then you will be worse than
the embezzler, who takes his employ
er's money and decamps with it" Mr.
Cobb proposed a toast to the young
orator and the toast was drunk stand
ing.
