the unfortunate and sck strangers in strange land
but that they might inherit glorious hereafter. Not
withstanding he about to enter upon other duties
he would still entertain deep interest in the work in
which they were engaged. He had expected to meet
on the present aston old friend and eI-Conmis
soner Of Emigration fGov. Morgan. but he had re-
ceived letter from him. IL which he sisted that he
bad just returned from Western tour, and was in
consequence unable to attend. Capt. Pilshury 10
concluding HE remarks gave the health Of Edwin d.
Morgan, Governor Of the Stste Of New.York.


The toast was received with cheers, and Mayor
POWELL was called upon 10 respond, which he did in
few and brief words. Mayor Powell said he felt
somewhat embarrassed st being called upon 10 respond
to a sentiment Of such importance. The gentleman
whose name bad just been presented and whose health
they had drank one for whom he entertained toe
highest regard. During the short time that Gov. Nor
gan had occupied the Executive Chair, he had done
wonders for the welfare Of his constituents aud had
displayed on larger scale that genius Of good Of
fcer which primarily developed itself while he was
acting member Of the Board of Commissioners Of
Emigration and other public institutions In con-
cludDg, he said that II Gov Morgan, at the expiration
OF bis term Of office Governor of the State of New
Yoik, should continue TO sustsn the high character
that sustaiDs, they would and al be proud
Of him a member Of the Empire State.


The health Of the Rev. Matthew Hale Smith was
next proposed by General Superintendent Pn.sBURY
and MIR. SMITH briefly responded. He claimed Capt
Pilsbury as an Old acquaintance, and said that their

that district the people visited the Prison TO see the
discipline enforced aud the good order observed. The
great secret of Capt Pilsbuys success was that he
knew what men ought to do, and made them yield
obedience at once. New York received blessing In
getting such man at the head of its Pollce-a man
that would make New-York rogues understand that
they could not flourish about him. The speaker de-
Tended the City of New-YoIk against the aspersions
cast upon il by some people, who forgot that was
the great door to the county through which people Of
all nations make their entrance. Taking this fact into

the world The great success in its government was
based upon three eements-Frst, the ministry, who
told the people what they ought TO do secondly, the
maeistracy, who told them what they must do aud
thirdly the military, with its strong arm that told
them what they should do. With the criminal intel
lect in this city he wondered that there not twelve
times the number Cemmders. robberies, burglaries
and other crimes perctrated. The city was well
protected, and could be traveTsed safely at all times
Of the day and night.


President STILLMAs was next called upon, and made


brief speech in which he said that the Board did the
best thing they could to find competent officer, and
tney considered they had found such one in Capt.
Pilsbury. He felt assured, and for himself was GER
tain that the Board would second the efforts OF their
new Superintendent, and render him every assistance
i'll their power.


Capt PILsBURY begged TO say few words. He
said that bis appointment to the General Superntend

consent and that he tired hard for week to decline
