six o’clook the elegant folding doors
of the dining room |were opened, and the
party sat down. After dining, most agree
ably, the Chairman of the table rose, and
silence being obtained, said in snb3tance
thus: =
In proposing, as I am about to do, the
health of tbe distinguished gentleman
to honor whom we are here assembled,' I
confess myself embarrassed by the want of
suitable terms to express the satisfaction
we all feel in being thus privileged to meet
and welcome him. Until very recently I
have not had the pleasure of personal inter
course with Mr.' Dixon, though I have long
known him through the medium of his
writings, and so long as I have known have
admired. him. Within a few days,however,
I have enjoyed rare opportunities of form
ing an intimate acquaintance with him,
and, as a consequence, I have been led to
cherish an affection for the man not less
sincere than the esteem I entertain for the
author. If.it has. not happened to Mr.
Dixon and to me that
"Together both, ere the high lawns appear’d,

We drove afield; and both toxether heard

we have* inhaled together an atmosphere as

Englishman and myself—speaking a com
mon language, deriving onr thoughts and
feelings mom a common origin, partaking of
a common faith, and believing in a common
-destiny, as, at one moment, we discoursed
•of the youthful country in which we are,
with its magnificently prosperous present
and its inconceivably boundless future, and
at another moment discoursed of the older
country, from whence he came, with the ac
cumulated and still accumulating glories
shed by its genins on the multiform depart
ments of creative and reproductive intellect;
with Its steadily onward march, along the
paths of liberty and progress,'towards the
highest developments of civilization and re
finement; with its stately and imposing
procession through the centuries of unsur
passed warriors and statesmen, and poets
and philosophers and historians; with® all

of its industry, and with a flag whose folds
have “braved a thousand, years the battle

concord and agreement,such a commingling
of'blind and soul and sense, that yon will
readily understand I intend the imperfect
words I am now' uttering not as a mere

It would lll.become me in his presence to

numerous and varied contributions which
Mr. Dixon has'-madff to the instruction,
edification and entertainment of these who
cultivate English letters. ’Nor in this com- ‘

generous Impulses chiefly' prompted
him to the undertaking,, it. was this supe
rior mastery over authentic, but not gener
ally accessible, sources of jtaformatioa
that gave to his noble vindication of
William Penn its character of irresistible
refutation, and secnredlSFlt instant acqui
escence. -Per that vindication we of Penn
sylvania; and especially we of Philadelphia,
are largely indebted to our guest, and our
recognitions and-hospitalities. earnest and
abundant as we desire to ! make them, are
but sligbtinstallmehts in the' way of payr
ment. Consider the case. Macaulay, by
universal acknowledgment the most popu
lar historian and the most brilliant essayist
of the time, atad an imperial ruler iti the
tealms'of controversy, in the very zenith'of
his dazzling career, with_a pompous parade
of novel authorities, aha in carefully
prepared. phraßes of the fiercest invec
tive, preferredoharges of meanness and
perfidy against William (Penn, utterly at
variance with thcpfinoiples and conduct
of that unselfish phUanthropißt and Chris
tian gentleman. A great sect/famons for
their probity and charity, were thus
wounded through' their ’ beloved Apostle—a
great people, with whom annals his name
rnnst he linked forever, were thus outraged
through their venerated founder. :At first
the audacity of the assault almost pre vented
resistance, and then succeeded dignified
remonßtrancfl) and '.violent denunciation.
Still .the great maligner was unmoved;
Though urged from varions quarters, and
for sufficient reasons, to retraot or modify
his censures—perhaps, because, rather than
abandon a theory, he was willing ts destroy
a reputation revered in both hemispheres—
perhaps, because he counted on the absence
of a capable defender—he remained obsti
nately snent. But, in the dispensation of
the Almighty Disposer of all things,
it was hot intended that His servant,
who had labored so .zealously to pro
mote “peace on earth, good will, to
wards men,” Bhouid himself be left to suffer
and the illustrious dead found a worthy
champion. Mr. Dixon, whose studies of
English history,and especially of the period
embraced in the alleged transactions, had
been close and profund, came gallantly to
the rescue. Armed with irrefragable docu
ments, and other proofs that admitted of no
disputation—wielding a pen as clear in its
presentation,and in this behalf, stronger in.its
demonstrations than that of his antagonist
—cheered, moreover, by the God-speed of
good men, *-he passed through the lists to
complete and overwhelming victory. As
the spear of Ithuriel revealed in all his hid
eous proportions the father oi lies, when
distilling his devilish delusions.into the ear
of Eve, so,
“For so falsehood can endure
Touch of celestial temper,” ; . '
the trenchant weapon of Mr. Dixon pierced
through the slanderous rhetoric, and ex
posed the: calumnies as they were, gross as
a mountain, open, palpable. Lord Macau
lay—for his sake we lamentio say it—went
to his grave unconfessing, if not unrepent
ant Of nis sin, but the memory of Penn is
now as free from stain or blemish as if his ‘
polluting fingers had never sought to de
file it. -f ...
Eor all his merits, but particularly for
this, I ask youagaiD. gentlemen, to join me
in drinking welcome,' health .and pros
perity to Mr. Dixon.
Mr. Dixon replied to the Mayor. After
expressing his deep gratification and grati
tude for the Blgnal honor done him on the
occasion, he gave an. interesting account of
his travels,westward, as far’nearly as : tbe
Pacific, and of the most gracious reception
that he had everywhere met in the land. As
Mr. Dixon understood that the entertain
ment was a friendly and private one, we
feel restrained from producing his remarks
literally. He paid-a hearty tribute to the
memory of Penn ; to - the immense power
and to the growing resources of the nation;
spoke in eloquent terms of the attractions
of our city, and to the merits and widely
spread reputation of the Historical Society
of Pennsylvania. : In conclusion he gave an
invitation to bis friends to visit film in-
London and in Yorkshire.
Soon after this the Chairman rose again.
He stated that though the tribute of respect
to Mr. Dixon Was sot one given at all by
the Historical Sooiety, nor indeed by any
special class (gentlemen firom’various pro
fessions uniting in«it)j that' body had been
specially and most-property invited to send
a representative,-and it being understood
tbat they had recently passed resolutions of
respect to Mr. DixoD, he hoped that, A
hearing from the vice chairman, they might
be read.
Mr. J. W. Wallace being thus called on,
said:
Mr. Mayor—You have yourself referred, with admi
ral eloquence, to various titles known to most present
which ire gentleman whom it Hour pleasure to honor
hsßtotheregsrdofusall. As citizens of the United
States, and devoted to that ‘unity of government
which makes us ene people.” as Pennsylvanians, at
lovers of humanity and oi all good letters, as descend
ants- many of ns at least—of British ancestors, and in
terested In British history and Its truth, we all mustac
knowledge the justice and pertinence of yonr tribute,
n ot lees than Us beauty and Its force.
In my special capacity here this evening, to which
yon have alluded, itismy privilege to express those
sentiments of respect in which, above other societies
and abovefevery:other collection even of the dtizer s
of our op n State, the Historical Socletyof Pennsylva
nia thinks that It 1b entitled to hold the services of hi r.
Dixon in onepecallarlineof his labors and dtatinc
tion. I refer, of course, to his works, of which you
nave so admirably spoken, illustrative of the lUe a> d
character of our founder and drat lawgiver. How
ever citizens of Philadelphia or of our State may A 1

with an emphasis of interest, the guardian of its emi

deredto the-biographer and vindicator of William
Penn. Apbs with pleasure, therefore, that that body
receiver your flattering invitation to send a repre

passed at their meeting last night; a meeting con
vened suddenly, upon Intelligence of Mr. Dixon's
presence In the city—the resolutions which you refer
to, and which,at yoor request. I read. Thus they run:
“The Blb tor leal Society of Pennsylvania bavi *g

The n eetings of the Histoiical Society of Pennsylva
nia are generally, I need not say—like the proceeds gs
of most bodies of the Bort—unmarked by much amma

: the honor and prOblty of nnewhom we had bee a
; accustomed to regard as an unselfish philanthropist as

prejndlced minds to have been a complete aid trl

, A* the Vice Chairman has said, onr society opened
a correspondence with Mr. Dlxon.assoonaswennder-
I stood that he was preparing his biography, and It was
; my privilege to be the Corresponding Secretary at the
lime. We placed at Mr. Dixon’s disposal all the ma
terlals we possessed, and, with access In England to
tbs orlginnl recoras.-havlng tbe sympathy of all trne
lovers ortho right, he produced a work Welch pos
sesses .all the.lnterest of. a romance, while at the
same tlmeeveryipagespeaka its own truthfulness.
The works of Besse, Clarkson, Weems, Lewis and
Janney are ora Different style, and sre, of course,writ
ten from other stand-points; but It was reserved for
Mr. Dixon to bring before OB.Willtam'Pena os he
really was. His Ideas and his actions—his straggles
underOlfflculties with onfalthiol agents—his person
and his walk—h!a business actions—the habits ot ni«
domestic lift at his home In England, here in Phila
delphia, and at hla manor boose In Pennsbory—all
are produced with a Ufa-like vividness. In fact, sir, to
use M r. Dixon’s own language, he hat really ‘ -Changed
William Penn from a myth into a man,” and were we
not assured that it la William renn, the Quaker law
giver. we should certainly -be; Inclined to regard the
picture as that of a polished gentleman or rank, and
a skillful polemic of the most liberal views. Tbe fair
fame of our founder has been rescued from reproach,
and we tender to Mr. Dixon onr thanks for what he
htsdone. '-~o
jjou, air. Chairman, there is tUll another reason why
the visit of Mr. Dixon to Philadelphia mast have to
bfm a peculiar Interest. To Mr. Dixon we are indebted
for on eof tie best lives -of Sir .Francis: Bacon whtcn
have vet been written. It is well kaowa that among
the frTenda of William Pann. ond prominent among
the early settlers of Philadelphia* as afterwards more
permanently or New York, was William Bradford*
eminent as having first introduced printing in-these
colonies. Bis character was admirably portrayed hy
Mr. Wallace, in hi 3 address before the Sew i orb His
torical Society, at the splendid bi centennial celebra
tion of Bradford’s birthday, in May, 1883, Dy toat soci
ety and lrinlty Church, to which Bradford belonged.
Well, sir, the first boob ever printed in Pniladeipuia.
and, indeed, in the middle colonies of Amerlci, was
“Bacon's Essays;” It was printed, of coarse, by Braa
ford.the frlecd,as I have said of Penn. This was in 1683
Mr. Chairman,the name of Mr. Dixon will ever be
closely and intimately associated with the history of
our commonwealth, ana despite the charges of Lord
Macaulay, PenLsyivania does atui regard Wiliam
Penn wi h a reverence even greater than that * whlcn
the Athenians felt for ihesens or the Homans for
Quirinus.”
I ought not. sir, when seeing near me one of the
most gallant of oar soldiers, to lorget that Penn, too.
was once a soldier, dressed In uniform of war. When
n aking a eulogy or the great 4 * Friend/’ I may hope,
lb conclusion, that we Bhall next propose the health oi
General Meade.
Mr. McMichael having, with appropriate
remarks, proposed this sentiment, General
Meade arose amidst long-continued plau
dits. It was obvious that whatever else or
whoever else 'might be the feature of the
evening, the hero of Gettysburg would be
ever dear to the hearts of his fellow-citizens
His remarks were few, but were charac
terized by excellent sense and feeling. He
said that, being no speaker, he could uoi
desire to see the old role reversed, and that
arms should yield to the toga. His “occu
pation,” at home, “was gone,” of late. H
hoped never to have occasion to resume it
here, or with the great nation to oneoi
whose citizens we now did honor. He would
hope, indeed, that with people like those oi
England and America—people as intelligent
as brave; people loving justice, and ready,
he believed, always to listen to reason—
there could be few: questions which could
not be solved by the facts and argumenb
of negotiation. The excellent sentiment
Beemed, from the prolonged approbation its
expression called forth, to be entertained by
aii who were present.. .
The Chgirmap,.again rising, adverted to
the clrcumstand||tihat Mr. .Dixon was a
member of Lincoln's Inn—a barrister,
therefore. The law, as well as literature,
was in some sort represented in his person,
and by no one could its dignity be better
asserted than by the Hon. Justice Hare.
Judge Hare, rising, said— _
A distinguished English writer, when recently la
this country, remarked that “nothing struck him
mote to an the resemblance, amidst some superficial
differences, between the people ol the United States
and or England.” This was no doubt true, although
time hadnow set the seat of a distinct nationality on
either country.. It however, we went back to the ae
aventeenth century, we should and not merely resem
blance, bat identity. Eve was not more wholly taken
from the side of Adamthan the America or mat da.
was bone at the bone and flesh of the flesh of England.
Her great statesmen were also oars, and onr safety
was one to her efforts. For ns Elliot lingered tn the
Gate-house; Hampden resisted the payment of ahlu
money, Fym dong to .the deserted dtratlhrd. Fairfax
and Cromwell fought and Hassell perished In ou*-
cause. These men. directly or Indirectly, establish) d'
the liberties or America, and William Fean most be
added to the number. . . '
It might, however, be questioned whether Penn dll
not staEd too near to James the second daring the a:
rati made by that monarch on the institutions of Eng
land. Ibe King need toleration as a mask Ibr his de
tlgns, and Penn wsb perhaps too easily deceived by the
artifice. He shonld have remembered that If the bat
tle lor civil freedom waa lost, religions liberty coold nut
long escape destruction. Lord uacanlay found Fan u
i eemingly enrolled on the side of despotism, and this
explained, though It did not justify, the severity of hi,
assault. So much Bhottldbe said In vindication or .
great historian and true friend of freedom, who was
seldom wrong in principle, although he might some
llgtea misapprehend or overstate events.
These rather more formal proceedings oi
the evening were followed hy some charm
ing observations from various persons.
Dr. Shelton McKenzie spoke discursively
in reply to a call for “The Press,” and in «
style not easy to report, but highly enter
taining. • Addresses were made by M-
Bayard Taylor, and Mr. George H. Boker
Mr. J. Gillingham Fell, identified with >t
noble institution of the State, paid an exce
lent tribute to the greatness of our founder
in reply to the idea held by many that Penn
was a good man only. He was not only «
good man, but a great one. He who could
cross a wintry ocean in those days to found .
State in a new world, who gave it laws
which in this day govern-it, and many oi
which have jeceived adoption in other
States oi the Union, who set it out in an
orbit, where it yet moves, and on a career
of greatness in which-it advances more anl
more, deserved to rank among the mag
nates of the world; and he doubted not that
with advancing time -.-Penn would be uni
versally so placed. . A
Mr. John Jay Smith followed the eloquent and jo it
remarks of Mr. Fell with a very interesting account of
thestate of some descendants of Mr. Penn’s family In
England, from which country he had not long since
returned. Onr readers would be extremely Interested
In the narrative, which was one of some extent; but
Mr. Smith spoke, he observed, as “a Pennsylvanian tu
Pennsylvanians,” and we are not sore that we might
not trench on flunlly privacy by giving, without per
mission, printed publication to what was said.
Mr.B Austin Allibone, who was nowcaUedonas both
an author and the friend and bi grapher, and tmmor
taltz rof authors, waa among the later: speakers of
the table, bnt not at all among the least agreeable.
After a few well-timed remarks by Mr. Joseph Harri
son, whose cellectlon of pictures, containing W st's
celebrated one of Penh’s landing Mr. Dixon had been
charmed with in the morning—Mr. Daniel Dougherty i
excluded this charming evening with one ortho is
displays of witty eloquence for which he Is so courted
and admired at every gay aud festive scene.
There are those who knew Dougherty.-only as
the elirquent advocate, the -terrible accuser -or the
pow*rlol- defender at -■ the--bar:-of-justice, and
there are those who have- thought of him lately
scarce otherwise than as the eloquent orator arguing
the case of an aggrieved nation before listening eleo
torsi But his glory Is as well where we, from-behind
our rcreen, saw him on this evening, the fellow of in
flnlle wit and excellent fancy. From the time that
that be was forced to “comeout”.there was nothtngpe
rloos further. : One, Incessant roar of laughter, inter
rupted only by something to continue it, concluded as
dellghllhl an occasion, we snepect. as Mr. Hepwortb
i Dixon has ever enjoyed,-or -mil ever, on either side of
the Atlantic. After the reading of an excellent Ode to
the defenders of 1 Penn hy Benjamin Coates; a vote of
thanks was proposed By: General Meadejo the chair
man, aud most, heartily seconded by Mr. Dixon, and
adopted,.:.-.
