BIR. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Grand Presentation Festival at Inde
pendence Hall In Honor of the Occa
sion Account of the Ilellcs, Speeches,
JCtc. Etc.
Yesterday being onr usual holiday of the
22d of February, and the celebration of it by
the "Veterans of 1812" being about played
Cut, some gentlemen who make speeches con
ceived the idea of putting in tlie State House a
Chair and Table, each a matter of interest the
Table of more than ordinary interest, about
Seven and three-tenths, compared to so many
ther pieces of antiquity in that antiquated
Town. Jk'low we give a drawing of
3P m'
THE TABLE AND CHAIR,
as they now sit in state, in company with
Washington's Tew and the Cracked Bell.
THE RELICS.
A description of the relics may not be out of
place. The table is made of pine boards one
inch thick, planed on both sides, and fastened
to the legs with wrought nails the top has
Jour knots in it, but this apparent defect is
liid by a covering of black leather glued on it,
The legs are substantial and well to do, ex
cept the bandaged one, which is suffering from
a compound fracture. The braces are all inch
Stuff, planed on the outside, and are yet in a
rood state of repair, nothing; but the best
wrought nails having been used upon them.
The chair is a very interesting rulio of the
Ctraight-back and liard-bottomed days of our
grandfathers and mothers. The rockers yet
retain all the strength of their youth, having
riginally served a useful existence as portions
cf a head for a flour barrel, when that com
xnodity was $3-75 a barrel, and every family
liad one. The rests for the arms look more
to the comfort of the chair than the sitter, and
are constructed on true mathematical prin
ciples, as it seemed to be an axiom well known
to the ancients, that the shortest distance from
ne point to another was a straight line; and
ly adopting that principle in the construction
of the arms of the chair, not only was strength
f ained. but also economy of material. The
lieight of the back where the principal cross-
piece receives the shoulders of the occupant, is
an evidence of the stalwart proportions of the
men and women tliat fought during the Revolu
tionary times, as they sometimes do now, as
the every-day evidence in the adjoining Court
room abundantly testifies. There is some
Slight attempt at ornamentation in the upper
panel of the chair back, in the rounding of the
upper edge; but it is like us original owners,
whose beauty consisted in being straight up
and down. .
THE PRESENTATION.
Mr. Hall, from llarrisburg, who seemed to
to be a Hall of independence, stepped forward
and spoke the following piece:
Mr. Mayor, and Gentlemen of the Select and
Common Councils: I have the honor to present '
to the Corporation of the City of Philadelphia
this chair and table, on which sat Jqhn Han
cock when he put that fine copy-book nourish
at the Head of our Declaration of Independence.
The fitness of this presentation on this day
will suggest itself forcibly to all minds. Look
ing upon the beautiful slushed streets, I saw the
GALLANT GREY RESERVES
jnarclung down them. I was reminded, indeed,
of "the time tliat tried men's soles," and
thought of the great trial to their poor soles,
especially if they leak (tremendous cheering),
and I thought of the tender words addressed
ly the brave Washington to his troopa at
"How's your poor
We picture to our minds the striking figure
of John Hancock, the affluent citizen, who
with a bold nnd resolute hand affixed his
signature to the Declaration, as if it had been
a fifty thousand dollar check, for lie was able
to strike a figure like that (cheers and
laughter), and which so nobly maintained the
arms of the people in the struggle.
Ever let these relics be preserved iuul cher
ished. To these the lovers of libenly from all
lands and of all ages will come to pay their
homage, nnd to get their lunch in the Hall of
the building, and within their sacred influ
ences (cheers); and as we have preserved
these mementoes from the red hand of vio
lence, we hope you will not nut them out
under the trees, in company with the wooden
toad-stools that now afford rest to the weary
pilgrim. (Immense applause.)
The city of 1'hiladelphia 1 the home of old
Independence Hall ! What city in the Union
so loyal, so salty, so cheap and good for tho
money ! (cheers) so liberal to the bounty-
jumpers in the late war, as this loved metro
polis of the State of Pennsylvania ?
What city that, through public and private
subscription, ever gave so many dinners to its
own public officers 1 When I recall the Fair
mount Park extension suppers, the dinners to
visiting Councilmen from other cities, and the
Gas Trust Committee's feeds, I see in its people
a liberality unknown to ancient times. (Im
mense cheering.)
Here, Mr. Mayor, let this old table and chair
remain, and when the stranger visits your city
don't send him to the top of tho steeple to see
the Hell of Liberty, while it lies here cracked
beside these other relics of " tho time that
tried men's souls." (Long-continued ap
plause). During the speech of Mr. Hall the most deep
and solemn silence prevailed, except when
broken by a hungry crowd outside, around
Mrs. Tatten's coffee-stand, calling out, during
some momentary pause, "Aunty, take out for
four doughnuts, two slices of ham, and a cup
of coffee 1" or, "Aunty 1 a bowl of pepper-pot
at this end of the table I" It was, indeed, a
thrilling scene, and one that will be remem
bered as an epoch in tho history of the city;
for, excepting the day of the firing on Sumter,
there never was such a business done at the
coffee-stand as on this clay, and, considering
the inclemency, of the weather, the receipts
were enormous.
After the conclusion of Mr. Hall's eloquent
remarks, Mayor McMichael spoke his piece,
which was vociferously applauded by all of the
policemen present, and by many of his other
hearers.
THE MAYOR'S SPEECH.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Reps.:
The city of Philadelphia accepts tho trust
which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
confides to her. She will accept of any amount
of trust. (Cries.of "Joke!") For there never
was a time when she was, in mercantile lan-
guage, "harder up." (Cheers.) To mark
her good sense, she has assembled here with a
large and efficient police force to attend the
gentlemen from llarrisburg in their visit
(immense cheering by the police and hisses
by the dignitaries) the favored citizens to
whom tOie has delegated her authority to
make and execute laws in reference to the
colored people riding in the cars, and kindred
subjects (immense' cheering by -tho digni
taries and hisses by the police) the
learned expositors, dictionaries, and first
class readers of her histojfi legends
and traditions, and the pss, in
cluding ,tho North American and United
States Gazette, which is still published, and
which daily records her progress, and a full
account of all the murders as fast as com
mitted. (Cheers by the police and others.)
In this presence she makes public declaration
that she esteems the custody of these pre
cious relics a rare privilege, and oilers a
solemn pledge that they will bo well taken
care of, dusted every week, and rules posted
up in a conspicuous place prohibiting gentle
men from leaning back on the chair, putting
their feet on the table, and squirting tobacco
juice all over the printed card. (Laughter.)
It is proper they should bo here I It was
here Columbus first landed at the Blue Anchor
tavern in Dock street t It was on this very
spot that was fought the Battle of Bunker Hill,
in which Ferdinand Do Soto and his
handful of brave men, assisted by
the First City Troop, numbering fifteen souls,
after burning his ships, defeated the red
savages of the prairie I It was here the Pil
grims landed, after a stormy passage, without
the aid of a City Ice Boat from the Breakwater
to the Navy Yard! And here is Smith's
Island, on which Robinson Crusoo trained his
pet goats; and here the Berks county Dutch
nrst discovered William Penn, under a tree
up Kensington, peddling out dry goods to the
Indians, and when he bought our noble old
Commonwealth with two pieces of New York
Mills muslin, one bundle of red flannel, and a
dozen tarpaulin hats; and I may add, the prin
ciples of the immortal Penn, Disciple of Peace,
who accomplished so much by the piece, are
yet seen embodied in tho shrewdness of our
merchants and the economy of our publio
edifices. (Immense cheering by the builder
of tho new Court House.)
Biuce these relics were separated from thi
VnUey Forge an lie asked
feet?" (Cheers.)
fl.'lilllMI L '
hall, the achievements of art have surpnssed
the wildest imaginations, and developments
have co-operated and are still co-operating
to produce on this continent an empire
with deeper oil wells, bigger hotels, longer
railroads, louder thunder, and forkeder light
ning than the world lias ever before witnessed.
The men who sat in this seat and wrote at
this table, while engaged in the creation of a
new republic, could not have dreamed of what
we at this day see at the Capitol of the Com
monwealth stuffed arm chairs and black
walnut desks, oiled, with lock and key (im
mense cheering). They laid their foundations
as broad as the earth, and a3 deep as the
ocean, and found themselves in no very com
fortable position while doing it. (Applause.)
The time,"too, for this restoration has been
well chosen. An act to be performed in tho
house could have no better time, for if tho
ceremony had been an out-of-doors one, such
as a pole raising, we should all have got our
death of colds. (Cheers.) But in the day itself
there is even more essential fitness. What
occasion so suitable as Birthington's Washday
(loud and long-continued applause) for de
positing, among kindred objects in this cham
ber, tliis chair and this washbench? (Renewed
applause.) And, my friends, as we gaze upon
these relics this faded carpet, yon broken
window may wo see typified the hard worn
and shattered condition to which that Declara
tion of Independence is now reduced, that
once made the sublime announcement that all
men were created free and equal which is a
fixed opinion, but an unfixed fact. (Tremen
dous cheering, during which, the Mayor put
on his hat.)
After the conclusion of Mayor McMichael' s
speech, which ho read from a printed Blip of
next day's North American, they all shook
hands, the police keeping a sharp eye on the
gentlemen from llarrisburg, as many of them
were unknown in these parts.
A fine band of music stood out in the slush
and discoursed some national airs, after which
each member took a horn, and departed.
