Gentlemen : It will not be expeot
ed of me to make any lengthy atate
ment of the purposes for which you
aro aesomblod hero to-day.
The act of Concretes constituting;
you corporators in the Centennial
Board of Finance, and the several
publications of tbe Unltod States
Commirwion under thnt law, are, it is
presumed, familiar to you all. To
popularise and bring fairly to the no
tice of the people of the whole coun
try the celebration ol tbe one hun
dredth anniversary of tho nation's
birthday involves labor and self-sacrifice
to all having official duties con
nected therewith.
What seems lo be required of you
is to start and give momentum to tho
work, for when tho mnssos booome
fairly aroused it will move with an ir
rosislible force, which will only noed
to be guided to insure entire succoss
porfluous. I take tho liborty of sug
gesting for president of this body a
gentleman who naa, from its luccp
lion, devoted much lime and anility to
tins work, and whoso well-known
character for suoccoding io all his un
dertakings is a guarantee of success,
the lion. Dunicl ju. fox, ot 1'Diiauei

lion. Daniol ft. Fox was thereupon
unanimously elected president.
Mr. Fox, upon assuming the chair,

Gel i in men : I thank you most sin
cerely for the honor of presiding over
your deliberations. Although the da
ties of the convention are not many,
nor likely to be difficult, tho purpose
for wbiob we have coma together Va
one of unuaual or. are, tor , it is to lur
oiah lb facilities and the opportunity
to the Dooule of Pennsylvania to dem
onstrate their love of country in con
tributing toward the grandest oolobra
tion Hint can possibly take place in
the generation in which we lire : and
I very much mistake tho sentiment of

ous old thirteen, if the entire portion
of the stock of tho Centennial Board

wealth be not very speedily taken,
upon the opening of tho books of the

Tiding from the Ioeleas Polar Sea-
Its Geographical Import. t
The Important tidings which we
publish to-day from the (Treat open
Polar Sea will be read with deep in
terest, as furnishing new evidence of
th existence of that mysterious phe.
nomenon first made known by the
Amorioan explorers under Dr. Kane.
Thia time tbo explorer ia the bold
Norwegian, Captain Nils Johnson,
who, as late as the latter part of lost
Aagnst, rediscovered and re-explored
for the second time tbe islands lying
to the oasl of .Spitsbergen, and, moro.
over, discovered from tho mountains
of tho islands seas free of ice to the
northeastward and tb indication of
powerful ooeanio currents serving lo
koep open tb higher Polar seas.
For two and a naif centuries, Ss Dr.
Petermann, th groat Gorman geogra
pher (through whom tbe present in
telligence comes), has said, these lands
havo been "dunced about on tho map"
by the various cartographers of differ
ent expeditions, nasi junn uaptain
Altmunn,of Hammorl'est, visited thorn,
and now the investigation of Captain
Johnson furnishes accurate data for
their geography. The value of this
discovery must not be measured by
tbe significance or mngnitude of the
land explored, but ta highly import
ant as revealing certain long. desired
points of observation and research aa
to the physical geography nf theso
high latitudes in tbe Allanlioand as
to the existenee and caaso of the
Polyhymnia, seen last year to extend
to tho northeastward by the Austrian
explorers, Payer, and WeyproobL
Captain Johnson attained the high lati
tude of nearly eighty degrees north,
and from the summits of th hills
found that the sea to the nortoastward,
in the tract of Payor's and Weyprocbt's
expedition of last year, was "entirely
froo tram ice." This corroborates the
Austrian reports of the loeless lea
stretching towards tb Polo, along the
supposed pathway of tb prolonged
oquatorinl surface current and the
Gulf Stream, between Nova Zombla
and Spitsbergen. The islands visited
by the Norwegian explororlle In the
very throat, or, at least on th edge,
of the great Polar ico current, which -in
July 1827, when only four hundred
and thirty geographical miles from
tbe Pole, com polled Sir Edward Parrv
to give up bis advance northward,
because in that hoight of Arctic Sum
mer all tbe ice fields were iu motion,
and swept foster to the south than bis
men could drag their boats to tho
north. If the observations now an
nounced show an Icelotn sou northeast
of th newly dlsoovarod islands tho
strong Inference is that in the- deep
channel eastward and nearer to Nova
Zombla this year's expeditions will
