After a blessing by the Rev. Dr. Lyman
of the American Chapel, full justice was
done to "Nazzari's" lu.xuriant bill of fare
which with the ornaments of the table, and
such quantities of flowers in all shapes as
this region onl .s .1, h furnish added a charm
to the festiva, 0 s '. d. Two hours having

The Fresident, Charles King, called the
company to order, and making a few pre
paratory remarks, announced the first toast
which he proposed in the following words:
The occasion of our meeting to-day ex
plains itself by simply referring to the date,
February 22d. the birth-day of Washington.
It is not recorded - that any prodigies
marked that day, no signs in heaven or
earth gave token that there was one born
who who was in after years to overthrow
one empire and found . a greater, and to
make his name a household name wherever
oppression was wrestling with its chains, or
freedom was stirring to assert its indis
tructible rights. -
For as Washington is, and ever must be,
honored as the Father of our country, whose
sword carved out the path to Independence,
and whose wise moderation contributed so
largely to secure that Independence on the
firm basis of Liberty, Law, and of equality
before the Law, in this sense he belongs to
us as an American, but he is claimed and
honored by the universal voice of civilized
man as the great example for all time and
all races, as the calm, earnest, able, disin
terested, and self-sacrificing Champion of
Human rightsdapplause]. It is not my
purpose, nor is this the fitting time to make
eulogy of Washington, but to state
briefly some considerations which seem to
Indicate the anniversary birthday of this
spotless man as that which henceforth
should bethe special anniversary for Ameri-
Calle whether at home or abroad, to be ob
served as a National holiday, in which all
'who love their country and cherish its
=ion, and would promote its honor may cordially unite. We arejust recovering
from the most fearful civil war the world
has ever witnessed, we need not to recall
and to invest as it were with fresh interest
every memory heretofore held in common
affection by all—of these no one seems so
free from all objection, so clear of any local,
or sectional, or partisan appeal as the name
of Washington. It hits long since passed
into History, there to shine alone in its pure
lustre. It bas long been out of the field
of the living, burning questions of the day,
and men who quarreled even unto
death about other topics and other
names, yet were at unity in their esti
mate of the character and reverence for the
memory of the Great Founder of our Na
tion. • Hence a chief reason of selecting the
22d of February as our National festival,
and as all people by some such annual
commemoration do renew with each btlier
in social gatherings the noble sentiment of
a common brotherhood, so especially should
We Americans in Europe, after the fearful
ordeal through which our country has
passed from gloom to glory, manifest to our
Countrymen at home and to our overlookers
everywhere, that in one unbrokentphalanx,
we stand by each other in the present, and
unite in honoring a common heritage of
glory from the past. [Appfause.]
Ladies and Gentlemen I give yon--
`_
THE MEMORY Or WASHINGTON.
This toast was drunk standing and in
silence. - •
The next toast is of course in every like
gathering of. Americans, Our Chief Magis
trate; and of him who now occupies that
exalted station, I may say that he comes up
to the hopes, and surpasses the expectations
of even sanguine friends. Our free institu
tions have been upon trial, and it may be
safely asserted, that if the power aad re
sources displayed in a terrific war, be found
cause for admiration and respect, so in the
calm selection at the most disastrous period
of the war, of two such men as Lincoln and
Johnson, in their quiet installation, in the
marvelous succession, without jar, or halt,
of the second, after such an assassination of
the first, in the wise, firm, unimpassioned
course of the new President, putting behind
him all resentments which the treatment he
himself had received from the rebellion
might naturally excite, in all this we may
claim high honor for a free people, and their
free institutions, while gratefully recog
nizing the truth that God reigns and that it
pleased Rim to bless us in such an emer
gency with such rulers. •
I give you—
The President of the United &atm. Three
loud cheers were here given—Responded to
by General Rufus. Ring, United States
Tor mister, in the following words:
I deem myself fortunate, Mr. President,
in the privilege of responding, on . such, an
occasion, and in such a presence, to the sen
timent which you have just announced;
tut the feeling of satisfaction is mingled
with:one of regret, that this pleasant duty
ad , not been committed to more practised
anda.
„
This large gathering of our compatriots,
lour tholusand miles away ‘ from home is, in
itself, a most significant fact ; for it gives
the welcome truth that the:dark cloud which
lowered over our country, during the past
four years, has vanished before the return
jog '
sunshine of Peace and Prosperity. [A.p
vlause.]
7_14 the best days'of the Roman Republic,
Svhen7this Imperial City ruled the world,
the universal
,paiktport and proudest boast
of eveoitizenwas: "axis Rennanus sum;"
with like
authority and with not less pride
may; each of us thia day exclaim: : "I "1 alit
on American citizen." [Loud applause,]' •
we have only to Carry back irt thoughts,
One brief " twelvemonth , to realize the great
Change which has , peen effected Within that
period.. One:year ago, the great' general,
who so well described the :rebellion as an
,egg-shell [applaniej, and who soieffeettially
Crushed it; as such, was - marshaling his
forces; for the - final and decisive struggle.
pne - year ago the rebel flag waved de.dandy
from Richmond, And the honored "Stars
and Stripes"had trot yet been restored to
theirdatting place over the battered walls of
Sum r. One year ago another tenant oc
cupied the - presidential chair: one whom
the whole nation had learned to honor, and
was so soon to be called upon to mourn;
struck down in the very hour of victory by ,
the assassin's hand. But he, at least, had
finished his course; he had fought the good
fight; he had kept the faith, and he died,
as he lived, true to the Union [applause.]
For him the martyr's crown is added to the
statesman's laurel; and henceforth he will
live in history side by aide with that Father
of the Republic whose birth we this day
commemorate, and who was: "First in
War, First in Peace and First in the hearts
of his countrymen." [Loud applause.]
Well might America, well might the
world, stand appalled at the crime which
coat the life of Abraham Lincoln, and turn,
with mingled hope and fear, to ask what
manner of man he was upon whom the
mantle of our murdered President was to
descend. That question, ladies and gentle
men, Andrew Johnson has answered for
himself [three cheers]; answered, I think,to
the proud satisfaction of his own country
.
men. and to the approvingjadgment of Eu
rope. _
While yet a Senator, representing a
Southern State, at the outbreak of the re
bellion, "among the faithless. faithful only
he." Throughout the war he neverfaltered
in his devotion to the Union, and ere its
close his fidelity was fittingly rewarded by
suffrages of his countrymen. • [Applause.]
We know what difficulties' surround his
'path, what grave responsibilities rest upon
'his shoulders, how vast and important the
-charge committed to his hands; but we
know, too,that he brings to the discharge of
his great'duties ripe experience, firm con
victions, honest purposes and unswerving
patriotism. In the accomplishment of his
work, the reconstruction of the Union, he
will have the hearty co-operation of his own
countrymen and the good wishes and "God
speed" of all lovers of free institutions
throughout the civilized world, and with
,he help of that Providence who has guided
and guarded our country through its dark
hour of peril, he will not fail.
The next toast was "His Holiness the
Pope," which was eloquently.responded to
by Mr. W. W. Story.
The President—Oar hearts will leap to our
lips in drinking the next toast, to the Union
and the Free Institutions by which it is se
cured. The great forefathers in framing
that constitution, the most marvelous work
of human reason, could only proceed
upon things as they then existed, and hence
was left in that great charter one eleN.ent of
weakness, the toleratioh of slavery: Not
by that name indeed, for even when yield
ing to the force of circumstances, their sense
of what belonged to a great charter of Free
dom, forbade their staining it with the word
slave.
A circumlocution, however, fixed the stain
which nevertheless all parties at that time
believed would at no distant period dis
appear.
Happily now it has disappeared. In sor
row, in suffering, in fire, tears, and blood.
OW how much priceless blood ! Oh ! how
many agonizing tears! That stain has been
washed out, and our Union, and free insti
tutions vindicated, purified, and strength
ened, stands forth to challenge our undivi
ded fealty and the generous emulation of
after peoples.
I give you. THE UNION, no longer
marred by blot or exception — , firmer, brighter,
dearer by all it has cost to maintain it.
Responded to by the Rev. Phillips Brooks.
We regret exceedingly that we cannot give
a report of the soul-stirring speech delivered
by the Rev. Phillips Brooks,of Philadelphia.
That gentleman left Rome on the following
day, and our inability to obtain his address
render us unable to procure it from him.
We would, however, briefly mention, that,
like Roman orators in olden time, by his
earnest patriotism, choice words, original
thought, graceful manner, and rushing elo
quence,he completely charmed everyhearer
The President—Now comes a toast on
which I cannot trust myself to speak, for it
appeals to such deep feelings, to so many
brilliant deeds, to so many personal emo
tions that if I were to begin, I know not
when I should leave off. But your grati
tude, your admiration, your patriotism and
your pride will all welcome the toast to the
Army and Navy.
THE ARMY AND NAVY or THE UNITED
STATES,
Types of a race that loves peace but brook
no dishonor, we present them with equal con
fidence to our friends and our enemies.
Responded to by General Bartlett.
On General Bartlett rising to respond,
the whole company gave three times three
cheers—The. General then said—l am sure,
Mr. President, that I shall have the sym
pathy of all, in being called upon to reply
in my poor prose, after you have listened
to the poetic eloquence of my predecessors.
Though certainly no soldier could have a
more familiar theme, no orator a grander
one than that just read—[applause]—our
glorious "Army and Navy"—as a soldier I
have tried not to disgrace the one—but as
orator I should do credit to neither.
I do truly , congratulate you upon the
happy auspices under which we meet to
day, to do honor to the memory of our first
and greatest soldier and statesman—[ap
plause]—now that those terrible clouds of
war have drifted . away, and the sun of
peace shines once more upon his country
and our country, one and undivided. [Ap
plause.]
And in this conn6ction there is another
name which rises to the mind of every good
American with that of Washington—a name
that will be forever associated with it for all
that was good, and true, and pure. The
name of the man who, in the darkest hours
of the nation's life, led her safely through
to peace and honor, with a wisdom, firm
ness, and faith, worthy of his great prede
cessor—the name of Abraham Lincoln.
[Great applause.]
I have often thought that if we had been
guided more by the teaching and example
of Washington, these dark clouds would
never have burst upon us. And hereafter,
following more closely his counsels, some
times neglected, with the Constitution for
our compass and his "Farewell" for our
chart, let us trust in, and stand by the man
now at the helm, and steer clear of those
fatal rocks of faction and party'on which so
many goodly ships have split and gone
down.
Let
peace, how the world, that though we
love we neither fear nor dread war
—[applause]; that like men of great minds,
we can treat with patience and forbearance
the chafing of these lesser powers [great ap
plause] as they watch with wonder otir
strides in the path of civilization, and be in
tbe eyes of all nations what he was in the
hearts of his cotuatrymen—" first in peace
and first in war."
When the. General sat down the whole
company gave a round of cheers.
The next regular toast was--
ART, whose enchanting voice, calling over
the seas, summons hither from our shores
worshipers who prove themselves worthy to
approach her inmost shrines. Responded to
in very happy terms by J. E. Freeman,
Esq. •
The. President-,The last on ,the list of
Waits stirs up memories and suggests con
trasts that rouse the imagination and fire
the heart. It will not fail to kindle some
fitting answer.

Mit the invisible shapes that haunt the air'
.Of souls that on the insensate matter viroaght.
With Ruch a power and love their burning thought
In lines and hues, that from their heart 01 fire
And Our spirits catch the spark of high and pure desire,
d at the twilight hour, in thoughtful walk,.
On Pinclo's height, have I held silent talk
With the great men • whose calm, majestic mien
Lends holier grandeur to the Sylvan scene
That garlands their pale brows in native green.
Poet and Priest, Historian, Statesman, Sage.
Teachers of this, and every coming age,—
Methinks I hear a voice in day's la• t light
Tenderly say: "These too, shall walk in white,
For they are worthy! These shall wear the CrOWn
They well have won, and at my feast sit down!
And in the Empyrean's purer air
Bathing their souls, shall they the kingdom share
Of beauty, wisdom and eternal truth,
And drink the fountain of immortal youth.
Here, in this ball, linked henceforth with the
fame
Of that chief poet's sternest patriot's name,
The band of brave compatriots gathens now,
Each with the spirit's aureole on his brow,
And to this glorious line to-day joins one,
Their fit compeer. our own great Washington.
Do they not press to share our feast to-day,
As to his name the meed of praise we pay?
Methinks they cry, "Make for him ample room.
Sure, this is be, this is the man of whom
Our own Brunduslan bard prophetic sang
In strains that long ago far westward rang:

The man whose soul from worldly weaknessfree,

Nor frown of tyrant shake hts solid mind.
Ay, much he was, to honor whom we meet,
His memory cherish and his praise repeat;

He sits upon no solitary throne:.
Such, too was he. our precious martyr'd one,
Second, In time alone to Washington.
Our second saviour, Sire,—ln God's wise plan
Sent to complete the work the first began.
'Twas his to cress a drearier Delaware,

To wait and watch and pray and work, for morn.
The morn has come,—the patriot priest is gene—
To share on high the Joy of Washington!—
Such thoughts are ours to day, such visions rise,
Of newest glory, on our grateful eyes,
And so, from dear, old classic Italy
To day our souls repass the western sea.
And keep the *ash dear mother land with thee.
From all these radiant forms (soul stirring throng!
I feel their greeting as I pass along!)
I turn afar to hail, across the main,
The link I miss in this heroic chain
For I have stood and felt a patriot's thrill
Ofchildlike reverence on that beauteous hill,
Where looking calmly down upon the shore
Of Chesapeake au d stately Baltimore,
In emblematic, marble Majesty,
Washington ssands 'in the clear, upper sky"
And breathes his benediction—not in vain! •
Thank God! his dear land stands erect again.
America! a glory thou hest won
Matched by uo other land beneath the sun!
Gladly and gratefully we own the debt
We Owe old Some: how could we ee'r forget
With what heroic, what divine unrest
-Her poets, soldiers, sages stirred our breast?
Counting ourpatriot cead, on many a face,
The lines ofP.oman grandeur well we trace,
Yet oh. my mother land! in these last times
Hew shall we name them in our feeble rhymes?
Sons,— laugh:en—bast thou had—no Roman fame,
Could add one rat , of glory to their name!
• Thy daughters, mothers, sisters, brides—not few—
Have borne a cross no S'olc ever knew—
Have felt a sword pierce through the shuddering
heart
No Arlie ever felt that keenest smart—
But this is past—night and Its bitter thorn.
The rose blooms out 'the rr se of endless morn.
"What cheer? , The wsari nation cry.
"Thou watcher of the long, long night?"
From Freedom's bill comes glad reply—
" Good cheer! God brings the dawning light!"
''That dawn say yet be red with blooa
Or black with clouds—it comes apace!
New glory soon the heavens shall flood,
And the strong man begin his race,
"Prisoners of hop"! Sons of the day!
Be patient, vigilant and strong!
With the 'rue God is no delay—
The road la short—the rest is long.
After the reading-Asf the foregoing poem,
the President announced that volunteer
toasts would be in order. A number were .
given, among them one to the ladies, and
another to the Chairman of the Committee
of Arrangement, all of which were properly
responded to.
A Speech by General Butler.
ITAstntantmo, Ad! 11.—Gen. Butler was
escorted into the House by committees of
the Senate and House, and delivered a
speech over two hours long, in substance as
follows—That we might at least rejoice over
the cessation of armed hostilities, bat had
great cause for sorrow in reviewing the poli
tical events of the present hour, which con
vinced us we had not gained all that for
which we fought. When the rebel forces
surrendered and their great leader was
captured, the position of affairs at the South
was such that our impressions of loyalty
would have been retained.
If the President and Congress had then
punished Davis,who deserted his seat in the
Senate, and Lee, who deserted his flag, and
then, without shedding more blood, had
ordered'those who left the army and Con
gress, and those yst served in the rebel
Congress, to leave the country in sixty days
and forfeit their property; and that those
who had taken an active part in the rebel
lion should not have political power for at
least as long a period as an unnaturalized
foreigner, then peace, quietness and loyalty
would have reigned in every Sourthern
State.
The question now was simply whether
these Southern men, who deserted us once,
shall be admitted to Congress without any
guarantee that they will not leave us again?
This is.best illustrated by an ordinary part
nership. A number of men associated them
selves together; a minority desert, but can
not take the property of the concern, nor
bind, nor destroy the partnership. After a
while this minority desire to return. Can
they or ought they to be allowed to do so?
If States can go out whenever they please,
why cannot they come back whenever they
please? But the truth is they never did go
out. Only some of the members of Congress,
with the sanctiun of their communities,
drew their salaries, left their seats and went
South. These same communities cannot
expect to send other members tg take the
place of those who absconded without the
assent of Congress,
The Supreme Court of the 'United States
bad decided that the war was a public and
civil war, and that those on the opposing
soil were public enemies. Has there been
anything to change these Southerners from
this condition of public enemies? We cap
tured them entire—bpdies, property and
constitution, and every oilier right except
that of being hanged. The terms of Grant
and Sherman gave no political rights to
those who have opposed us. Society in the
rebellious States was disorganized? How
shall it be reorganized? Simply by extend
ing justice to all, and by acknowledging
that every man, whether white or black,
has the right to be equal with every other
man,
On this principle the . Union party must
stand, if it expects success in this world or
smiles in the next. But it was said, why
not extend this same principle of equality
to Pennsylvania and the Northern States.
The answer was, that the rights of Penn
sylvania had not been captured, and they
bad not been ln rebellion. The Southerners
were entitled only to what we choose to give
them, and beggars proverbially should not
be choosers.
It would be but human nature if the
Southern members were admitted to Con
gress for them to repudiate the debt in
curred in whipping them, and if a sufficient
number were admitted to combine with
Northern Democrats, the majority thus
created would be prejudicial to the interests
of the country.
General Butler dwelt at length upon
this point, and alluded to the possibility of
this'majority of dieunionists in the future
'actually forming a new . Congress. The
remedy against this was to sustain the
present loyal men in Congress in their posi
tions.
In regard to the President, he would
cheerfully, welcome his return back to the
principles of those who elected him, and'
would be glad to see him redeem his pro
mises of making traitors odious, although
the only way he had' as yet suggested of
doing this was by admitting them to Con-,
gress. [Laughter.] In regard to Geary,'
Geri. Butler spoke of him as the best'of sol
dierd and most - reliable of statesmen, and
concluded amid great applause. .
