From the "Wreath" of Saturday last Anniversary of American independence. fjcit- The 59th Anniversary of American Indepen dence was celebrated by our citizens in a manner tru ly national and appropriate. In the morning, at nine o'clock, the Rev. Mr. Ro- THILAUFF delivered a very impressive discourse, in the German Church,to a large and attentive audience, composed of Volunteers and Citizens. This address, we considernne of Mr. Ruthrauff's happiest efforts, and that it did credit to his head and his heart; as a patriot and a divine—as a citizen and as a christian. The military and citizens then proceeded to a grove in the vicinity of town,where,after the Declaration of Independence having been read by Capt. CLAuxsoN, of the "Gettysburg Guards," and an Address by DANtst M. Salvsca, Esq. (of which we shall speak below,)tfiey sat down and partook of an excellent re past, and united in a number of national and patriotic toasts and sentiments. The "CITIZENS' BAND" contributed their"rich music. and enlivening strains" to give zest to the fes tivities of the day ; and it is but simple truth to de, Blare, that they were listened to with universal de light and approbation by a large audience, both/ram town and country. We cannot forbear again express ing, on this occasion, the gratification with which we have witnessed the rapid progress towards excel lence,of this delightful association. • Under their pre sent able lcader,Mr. HAtirrr, their progress has been astonishingly great. We say to them, "GriwA The goal of perfection is in sight and will soon be won!" We subjoin some extracts from Mr. SMYBER'S ad dress. We regret that our limits forbid our inserting the whole. If we may judge from the pleasure with which we heard it, and the wrapt attention and une quivocal signs of approbation in his numerous audi ence, it was one of that gentleman's happiest efforts. —lt was characterized by sound reasoning, tree elo quence, and the genuine spirit of patriotic devotion to country .; and as he proceeded, we could see the fire of enthusiasm kindle iu every eye and mantle on eve 0, cheek.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, Julie 1, 1835. In consideration Of the many important interests con nected with the relations between the United States and France,the President has directed the publication of tho following documents: MR. LIVINGSTON TO THE DUC DE BROGLIE. Legation of the United States, EMIR, April 25th,1835. Ili, Excellency,the Bile Ds BROGLIE, SiLC. SIR: About to return to my own country, : I- am unwitkng to leave this ir ithOtlt tiClintig one more effort to the many I have hereto - fore made to restore to both that mutual good understanding, which their best inter '. eats require, and which probable events may interrupt, and perhaps permanently destroy. From the correspondence, and acts of His Majesty's Government, since the Mies mire of the President of the United States, was known at Paris, it is evident that an' idea is entertained of making the fulfilment : of the treaty oflB3l dependent on eiplana tions to be given of terms used in the Meg. sage, and of withholding payment of an ac knowledged debt until satisfaction be given for a supposed indecorum for demanding it. The bare possibility that this opinion might be entertained and acted upon by His Ma jesty's Government, renders it incumbent on me to state explicitly what I understand to be the sentiments of mine on this subject. • Erroneous impressions arising from the • want of a proper attention to the structure, of our Government, to the duties of the; • Chief Magistrate, to the principles it has a dopted, and its strict adherence to them, in similar cases, might raise expectations., ' which could never be realized and lead to measures destructive to all harmony between the parties. This communication is made in full confidence that it 18 the wish of his; Majesty's Government, as it most sincerely; . is that of the President, to avoid all mea sures of that description, and it is hoped, therefore, that it will be received in the spirit by which it is dictated—that of con.; ciliation-and peace. The form of, our Government, and the functions of 'the President as a component part of it, have, in their relation to this sub. , jest, been sufficiently explained in my pre- 4 ' vious correspondence, especially in my let ters to the camte de Rigny of the 29th of, January last. I have, therefore, little to add to that part of my representation which is drawn from the form of our Government, and the duties of the President in adminis• tering it. If these are fully understood, the principles erection derived from them can. not be mistaken. The President, as the chief executive •1 power, must have a free and entirely unfet.', tered communication with the co-ordinate powers of Government. As the organ of intercourse with our nations, he is the only source from which a knowledge of our reht tion with them can be conveyed to the leg. ; islative branches. It results from this, that the utmost freedom from all restraints: in the details into which ho is obliged to; enter, of international concerns, and of the' measures in relation to them, is essential, to; ,the proper performance of this important part of his functions. He must exercise them without having continually before him the fear of of the susceptibility of the 'I powers whose conduct he is obliged to no- i tice. Iu the performance of this duty he is! subject to public opinion, and his own sense of propriety for en indiscreet, to his constO tuents for a dangerous, and to his constitu- tional judges for an illegal exerciso of the power; but to no other censure, foreign or domestic. Were any foreign powers per. milted to scan the communications of the Executive. their complaints, whether real or _affected, would involve the country ,in continual controversies; for, the right being acknowledged, it would be a duty to exer cise it by demanding a disavowal of every phrase they might deem offensive, and an explanation of every word to which an im proper interpretation could be given. bors, without being subject to it themselves. It is true-that in the Representative Gov ernments of Eu rope, Executive CollllllUlliell [ions to Legislative Bodies, have not the sstension that is given to them in the United States, and that they are, therefore, leis lia ble to atn.ele in that quarter, but they must not imagineli,einselves safe. In the open ing address, guard-ed as it commonly is, eve ry proposition made 1,- . ; the Ministry, evcry. ! resolution of either Chamber, will offer oc casions for the jealous interference of nation all punctilo, fir all occupy the same grounds. No intercommuuication of the different branches of Government will be sails, and even the courts of justice will afford no sanc tuary fur freedom of decision and of debate; and the susceptibility of. foreign Powers must be consulted in all the Departments of • Government. Occasions for intervention in the . affairs of other countries are but too numerous at present without opening anoth- , er door to encroachments; and it is no ans wer to the argument to say that no corn. plaints will be made but for reasonable cause, and that of this, the nation complained of being the judge, no evil can ensue. But this argument concedes the right of exam Ming the communications in question, which is denied ; allow it, and you will have frivo lous as well as grave complaints to answer, and must not only heal the wounds of a just rational pride, but apply a remedy to those of a morbid susceptibility. To show that my fears of the progressive nature of the enertinehmsnta na no "."e"----..Y$ 1 r leave to call your Excellency's attention to the enclosed report front the Secretary o. State to the President. tt is oftbred for illustration, not for complaint. I ern in structed to make none. Because the Gov ernment of France has taken exception "to the President's opening message, the, Charged' Affairs of France thinks it his du ty to protest against a special communica tion, and to point out the particular passages in a correspondence of an American Minis ter with his own Government, to the publi cation of which he objects. If the princi ple I contest is just, the Charged' Affairs is right ; he has done his duty as a vigilant suporvisorofthe President'scorrespondence. If the principle is admitted, every dii-lomatic agent at Washington will do the same, and we shall have twenty censors of the corres pondence of the Government and of the: public press. If the- principle is correct, every communication which the President !makes, in relation to our foreign affairs, either to the Congress or to the public, ! ought in prudence to be previously submit ted to these ministers, in order to avoid dis putes, and troublesome and humiliating ex planations. If the principle be submitted to, neither dignity nor independence is left to the nation. To submit even to a dis creet exercise of such a privilege, would be ! troublesome and degrading, and the inevita ble abuse of it could not-be borne. It must, therefore, be resisted at the threshold, and its entrance forbidden into the sanctuary of domestic consultations. But, whatever may he the principles of other governments those of the United States are fixed—the right will never be acknowledged, and any attempt to enforce it, will be repelled by the undivi ded energy of the nation. 1 pray your Ex cellency to observe, that my argument does not deny a right to all foreign powers of, taking proper exceptions to the government- ! al acts and language of another. It is to . 'their interference in its consultations, in itsi proceedings, while yet in an inchoate state,! that we object. Should the President do an' official executive act, affecting a foreign power, or use exceptionable language in addressing it through his minister or through !theirs, should a law be passed injurious to Ithe dignity of another nation, in all these, and other similar cases, a demand for ex2la- Ination would be respectfully received; and answered in the manner that justice and a 'regard to the dignity, of the complaining nation would require. After stating these principles, let me add that they have not only been theoretically adopted, but that they have been praCtical ly asserted. On two former occasions, ex ceptions of the same nature were taken to the President's Message by the Government of France; and in neither did they produce any other explanation than that derived from the nature of our Government, and this seems on those occasions to have been deemed sufficient ; for in both cases the ob jections were virtually abandoned. .One, when Messrs Marshall, Gerry and Pinkuey, were refused to he received; and again, in the negotiation between Prince Pelignac and Mr. Rives, in the former case, although the Message of the'Pvsident was alleged as the cause of the refusal th receive the Minis. ters, yet, without any such explanation, their successors were honorably accredited. which,after a statement ofthe Causes of complaint In the latter case, the allusion in the mess- it enters into a consideration of the measures ts ago to an npprehended collision, wasexce )t -i ed to • but the , reference made by Mr. Riv es obtain redress, which in similar cases, are sane seems tiened to bo the laws of nations.

Mr. R itner leettho filec Lion by a very small number of votes (no now recollected) but would have scorned 1., retire from the service on that account.- He shouldered his musket, took his place i the ranks, and marched as a private soldie to Mansfield. After the troops had quartered there snme l weeks, sixteen wagons arrived from Pitts ' burg, loaded with arms ammunition &c. destined for Franklinton; which was theA the head quarters of Gen. Harrison. Some of the wagoners (who had been engaged al Pittsburg, to drive to Mansfield) finding the service very diffirult, refused to proceed any further. They did not belong to the troops, and of course were not liable to be compell ed. About that time Quarter Master Gen. Pion arrived at Mansfield; and applied to have those drivers replaced from General Crooks Brigade, and Mr. Rimer and Mr. A. Rodgers, being spoken of as persons of great capability for any such purpose, they were applied to by Col.

There is a move ment making in the French navy, which it may be well enough to look at in reference to the relations with this country. It is stated on the authority ofa letter from Mar oodles, that a number of French ships are fitting out nt Toulon—destination of course not known. There is no cabinet in Europe, the measures of which are taken with so much secrecy and precaution as that of the French, and these naval movements may be made in reference to the course which our administration may adopt relative to the re quired explanation. We see nothing in all this to discourage us in the belief that our affairs will be amicably settled, but are more convinced than over that peace very Mate rially depends upon the amicable feelings of those now intrusted with the administration of our affhirs, and that a false step may be dangerous.

Tho schooner Crawford has arrived at New Or. loans in 9 days from Vera Cruz, and brought pa. papers of that place of the 12th ult. They contain intelligence, says the Bulletin, of a complete change in the form of Government in Mexico--changing the federal republic of the Stoles to a control, consolidated government, over which SANTA ANNA is recognized as the head or supreme chief of the nation. The change commenced in Toluca, the chiot city of the state of Mexico, whence the plan was sent to the general government; and dissomina.. led through each and every state. It has been adopted in every part of the state of Mexico; and in most of the states—even those that had promi• nontly adopted the plan of Texca, particularly Za. ' catecas. This plan of Toluca appears to have been premeditated; so that there appears little doubt of its being generally supported and ulti_ mutely successful. The prominent featoresof the plan are to ostab • lish a popular, representative and central govern merit; the constitution of which is to he based on the exclusive acknowledgement of the Catholic religion; on the independence of the nation In the i integrity orals nctual territory; on the proportion. ate division of the powers of thegoverninent; and on the constitutional freedom of the press. SANTA ANNA is recognized as President and su• promo Chief of the nation; and as protector of its laws freely enacted. Tho present authorities not opposing the plan of Toluca, are to continue in office, till Congress shall organize a government on the principles in dicated, and this is to be offected as soon as pos.

A GREAT MAN IS FALLEN! 0:3 -Why those sable columns which surround the page of every paper that is hurriedly issued from the press, no matter of what size, complexion, or even of what polities?

THE GETTYSSURG WREATH, DEVOTED TO LITER ATURE AND THE FINE ARTS.—This is a neat little paper of four pages, in quarto form, issued weekly at the office of the Star and Banner, in Gettysburg, Pa., by Mr. ROBERT W.

Such publications are in our opinion vastly pre ferable as family papers, to the violent political peri odicals with which our land unhappily abounds, and it would indeed be well if some scores of the latter could be uprooted, and surrceded by as many Of the former. Next to our own invaluable Lutheran Ob- saver, and others of a similar character, we recom mend those, which like the "Wreath," aro judicious ly devoted to tho Sciences, Literature and the Fine Arts, and sincerely hope the one under consideration may meet with the prompt and liberal patronage it so well merits. In such a place as Gettysburg, a towu favored with one of the best of Colleges, an ably con !. ducted Female Academy, a flourishing Theological Seminary, and various other literary institutions; we should suppose the I Vreath could not fail to meet with a generous support. Our omitting t.i pay to it this '? well-deserved tribute of commendation at an earlier period, must be ascribed to our absence from home, and not to want of inclination on our part. [Luth.

Besidos, the con. trovorsy would not interest ono out of every twert. ty subscribers or readers of the Star. We there fore hope our friend will excuse us for not com plying at present. OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANCE. ID - To the exclusion of our usual variety, wo have inserted in to-day's paper the able and high, ly interesting letter ofour late Minister to Franca, Mr. LIVINGSTON, to the Duc uk Ditomme. Accom panying the above letter were two others, which wo have not room for—the first of which is from Mr. Livingston to Mr. Forsyth, in which ho asks the President to accept his resignation—and the othor is an answer from the Secretary of State, ac. cepting Mr. L's resignation, and tendering him the President's entire approbation of his conduct. Mr. Livingston's letter has given rise to con siderable discussion and much speculation on the present aspect of our Relations with France. For our own part, we shall muko none at this limo but sea no reason, at present, why we should dif fer from the sentiments expressed in the following article, copied from the National Intelligencer— Our Relations with France. We are enabled at length to lay before our readers in an official form, the latest in formation of the state of the negociation be- tween this country and France. The letter of Mr. Livingston to, the Duc De Broglie is not only an able paper, doing credit to the writer, but it places in a strong light the views taken by the Executive or his advisers, in this matter. if it existed by itself we should say it was, or ought to be, on what is now the interesting point or this controversy (the exception taken by France to the language of the President's Message) satisfactory. The tone of it ap- pears to us to be commendable. If the French Government had any right to look into our Minister's correspondence with his own Government, however, they • may perhaps find that the Minister himself took a different view of the Message when it first reached him from that which he has presented in his last letter. But it is no bu ' siness of theirs, that he wrote to this Gov : ernment, nor how much he was perplexed by the entire want of regard to the very delicate position in which he stood at Paris, by the authorities at home, who left him without instructions in such an emergency. 'That is an affair between him and his Gov ernment. The French Government might, besides, say that our Minister overlooked some considerations which bear against his present constructions of the Message. To which, wo will answer, for him, he was ar guing his own side of the question, and was not obliged also to argue theirs. It gives us pleasure to see that Mr. Liv • ingston says in his letter of Monday last to. Mr. Forsyth, that he has reason . lto believe' . that the answer to his note, asking an expla nation of the terms used in M. Serrurier'. • communication to the Department, will, when given, be satisfactory. We think we see, also—and we see it with the most unfeigned satisfaction—in the note of Mr. Secretary Forsyth, dated on Tuesday last, evidence of a placable temper at Mad-quarters in relation to thi 3 matter.. The Secretary declares, officially, in his let ter, which, moreover, with the letters of Mr. Livingston, is made public "in consid• oration of the many important interests con nected with the relation between the United States and France," that, &c. and "to soothe the feelings of national susceptibility even when they have been unexpectedly excited." In thus responding to the general feeling of the People, the Administration has (if we may be allowed to approve) done well and wisely. ELPAR our notice in the last Star of the celebra tion was hurriedly taken, we devoted more atten tion to it in the Wroath—and, for our own sails ruction, as well as in compliance with the wishes of several of our citizens, transfer the same into our columns to-day. A variety of volunteer toasts were given on the occasion referred te,but we have only boon able to got the following—which, al though few in number, are too good to be lost:— Br GEN. T. C. MILLER, (thought not present,) —Our obligations to God and our Country, para mount to all others. BY LIEUT. COL.

However bad it makes Mr. Miller's conduct appear, it does not surpass the infamy of the willful betrayal of Mr. Buehlcr's private and confidential letter. 80-The subjoined article, from the "Democratic Herald," contains a severe and cutting rebuke against the friends of Muhlentrerg; for founding his clainisio the Gubernatorial chair on kis opposition to the Uni ted States Bank:— As to supporting him [Muhlenberg] on the ground of an Anti• Bank candidate, the time for that has passed away. and the very attitude of his friends, giving Mr. R itner the best chance of success, destroys all the vir tue of such a position ! It has been aban doned by the very nomination of Mr. Muh lenberg—and it cannot be enforced, and a bandoned at the same time! Those who have become reconciled to the alternative or Ritner's success, eannot expect that the peo ple will rally on a principle, which such re concilement has waived, or reduced to a minor consideration of no iimtortanCe. (tYSomo wiseacres of the Mulllio stamp, are busying themselves with making calculations as to the prubablo result of the Gubornatorial elec tion! They cannot, however come to the saino conclusions.

We are decidedly GlCourt. of the same opinion, too! 00-The following paragraph from the "Democratic Herald," holds up the inconsistency of Aluhlenberg's friends to the life— Mr. Muhlenberg's original friends are, par excellence, radical reformers—and - it the same time LIFE Office Holden; under the General Government !I! Can any thing be -more preposterous—contradictory—in consistent—nay, oven tnsuting to the com mon sense of the People? (3r3-We do most heartily admire the honesty which characterizes the sober calculations of the Editor of the "Democratic herald " It is a quality rarely to be met with in the Editorial corps fighting under the opposition banner. When it does show itself, we al ways hail it as a favorable sign that the Editor is a bout deserting the Tory ranks and rallying under the flag of the honest yeomanry—THE PEOPLE—the pure Democracy of the State. We do not hero mean those ogling themselves Democrats, and who are laboring to keep and to get offices—who are abusing and vilify• ing their brethren, to gratify those who have no State pride—no anxiety for the welfare of the Common wealth at heart. But we mean those only who, re gardless of party feelings—party preferences,arc will ing to sacrifice such paltry considerations, when they see their beloved State made the sport of designing, knavish politicians—who are rallying round a ban ner. insclibed on which is "Virtue, Liberty and Independence," and which will lead them to a great and glorious victory. We have been led to make these remarks, simply from reading the following sentence in the illuhienberg paper above referred to—viz: 0::r"If Mr. i}luhlenberg had a chance, we would discourse of his good qualities; BUT HE HAS NONE; AND IT WOULD HE IDLE TO INDULGE IN THE AMUSEMENT OF ClllLDREN—`trying to catch birds by put. ting salt on their tails." Ll - Tlie "Compiler" was never more mistaken in "all its born days!" It make uur gums boil!— Fudge, man—fudge! (0-True, we are nut accountable for the opinions and assertions of our correspondents, yet it does not ruffle our temper when the Editor of the Compiler at tacks us in a low, petty manner for words made use of by writers for the Star. He may continue to speak of us as the "printer of the Star," "Star-man," "im ported hireling," and all that kind of decent (in his sphere) verbiage, we shall deal with him as one OEN- T tim Ar t would with another where L i +uppwsra to Da such; and if we should dirty our bands in so doing, wby we will acknowledge our mistake and be off! (03-The Compiler never slandered us until last week. He says, "Andrew (we suppose he means his political god father,) possesses more talent than both the "Star-man" and Prothonotary put together!" Oh! lithe dog-days were only over, Jacob, how we would "use you up" for so basely slandering your' "kind friends and neighbors!" (rjr-In repelling last week the assertion that the "Wreath" was the "same paper published last fall under the name of the Comet," we stated that the person who made it called "personally, subscribed for, and wished the Wreath success." The fellow says in his last sheet, "We never subscribed for the, 'Wreath,' but did call at the request of a fritind and relation, paid Mr. Middleton for his pnper,and DIREC TED it to be forwarded to tho same!" This proves; what we stated, that he called and subscribed for the Wreath personally, which had it been even the ghost of that terrible luminary which scorched him so se verely last fall, and the truths of which will haunt him as long as he has a remnant of conscience left,we opine he would hardly have called and subscribed for it, even at the "request of a friend and relation."— As for his assertion that "nothing is too much for the mendacious, moral prostitutes who conduct that Bil lingsgate Journal," we let it go for what it and its reckless author is worth We shall not stoop to ban dy epithets with one so degraded in public estimation. A person whose envy and malignity are so apparent, will only bedaub the more with moral pollution those with whom he comes in contact; and it is only labor loss to attempt to reform him. • (0-A writer in the Compiler complains, that our correspondents named "a respectable citizen of Get ' tysburg" in his communications. If this be wrong, why does the same writer weekly parade in the col umns of the Compiler the names of private individuals unconnected with public office? In the same paper in which appears the above complaint, he has two arti cles in which the names of "respectable citizens" are unnecessarily introduced! It is right for his bull to gore our ox—but oh! what rascally conduct when our bull touches his ox in the short Jibe! Let the writer be ad vised by us, to cease meddling so much in 'politics and attend to his profession—it needs his attention much, in order to discharge the high duties reposed in his hands. At least, let him remember, that "he whp lives in a glass house,should not throw the first stone." OrkJOHN GARVIN, Esq. presented us last week with several heads of Wheat taken out of a thild of his near town, which arc of a growth somewhat unusual. One head'(Called blue-stem,) contains twenty pods, in each of which are six grains of wheat; and another (called red-chafl) contains twenty-eight pods, each of which also containing six grains. As the 'Squire omitted telling us whether it was of Wolf, Atolllen berg or Rimer production, we will take tho liberty of calling it Fair- View wheat, in honor of the name of the place on which it grew. For th© Star & Banner MR. MIDDLETON, "One who was once gulled" has only to say,that had ho flavor heretofore determined, in disgust, to discontinue receiving the paper alluded to in his last communication, the last number of that shoot Would be sufficient cause for so doing. Coo I suffer to encourage the wookly übuso \ of private individuals—even our most estimable fellow-6:i. zons—who aro nut 'candidates for public offices, and the only part thoy take in the discussieps of the day, is in their private, social circles?' My God, sir! what will society come to.if our private, every day discussions in our social circles aro to be made fit subjects for tho conductors of public nowspapers to drag us before their readers and the public, and denounce, abuse and vilify us! I tun the friend, and 1 over shall ho, ofa Faux PRESS —but not of an licentious ono. I have, lot "A Stlbsciiber" take it as ho will, too much regard for the "feelings and morals" of my family, to en courage a paper of the latter class any longer. I was indeed gulled in two instances—first in be Hosing that the paper would ho what its prospec tus promised it to bo—and secondly, that its Edi tor know and appreciated the epithet of a gentle man. TEMPER ANCE.-' Am I to blame, mother?' said a young lad, the other day. The lad ioined a Temperance Society. His father mid mother appeared to bo displeased with him. The mother openly chided. After a long silence, the boy broke forth—"Am I to blame, mother? Sister Mary has married a drunken husband, who abuses her every day. Sister Susan's hatband was intern. perate, and has gone off• and left her, and you are obliged to take her home and take care of her children. Brother James comes home drunk almost every night. And be cause! have joined the cold water company, and you are likely to have one sober person in the family, you are scolding at me! Am I to blame?" AN UNWELCOME GuesT.--One day last week, the wife of Mr. John Kean, of this town, was surprised by finding on the floor close beside an infant, a very large brown adder which had made its way into the room unperceived, there being in the house at the time no one but herself and three small chil dren. Sho immediately seized the fire shovel, and placing it upon his' neck, kept him a prisoner, till she hid sent her little girl near half a mile for assistance, who re turned with two women, the only assistance she could procure. During all this time. Mrs.. Kean held the snake under her shovel, when the women with an axe severed his head from his body. He measured 31 feet, and was of the thickness of a man's wrist.— Hallowell Press. OHIO PVENIPOTENTIARTIES.—We learn from the Cincinnati Gazette that Governor Lucas has appointed three Plenipotentiaries, to visit "the Government" at Washington, in reference to the Boundary question.— The Plenipos are David T. Disney, Speaker of the Senate, Noah H. Swayncy U. S. Dis trict Attorney, Wm. Allen, ex-member of Congress. The boundary question as the Governor . heretofore said, is not "a party question ih Ohio;" but it so happens that the three ministers appointed to represent its sovereignty at Washington are all good and true Van Buren men!—Ball. Pat. Iluzza: for Pialsburga 113*The Pittsburg Times and Gazette give cheering account of tho proceedings of our friends in that city on the 4th inst. Our townsman,Tumo ' incos Sysmis, Esq. attracted much attention, and is highly spoken of by the Times and Gazette,— the latter states that after the Oration was deliv ered and a few remarks from Mr. Fodd, of Fay. etto, "Stevens!" "Stevens!" was then snouted by a thousand voicosat their utmostpitch, and Thad. deus Stevens, the Champion of Education and Equal Rights, appeared for the first time before a Western audience;" and that ho was listened to by the "vast concourse of people fur ono hour with breathless attention, save when the out-pouring of his eloquence would call forth their spontane ous plaudits." "All wore delighted with the en chanting power of an orator, who, surpassing any that wo have ever hoard. addressed himself at the same time to the heads and hearts of his hearers." A Committee of Invitation, consisting of one hundred persons, tendered him, on behalf ot the citizens and county, a Public Dinner, which was politely declined by Mr. Stevens. WOLF MEETING.
