SATURDAY. MARCH 2. 1861
Literature.
°COPRA'S Novin.a.—The new volume, illustrated
by Darley, la " Mercedes of Castile," published in
1840. It is a romance founded upon the Discovery
of Amerios by (Jobambuv, and closely follows, In
its details, the journal of the greet Genoese. In
this respect, it is full of intermit, and will bear
oomparison with Washington Irving's history. The
engravings, as usual, are very good. Thisedition
of Cooper will be oompleted in thirty-two volumes,
of which twenty six have already been published.
The whole lane, a volume appearing every month.
will be completed OR the drat of September. The
remaining volumes will follow: in the following
order : The Crater, Heidentuamir, Afloat and
Ashore, Miles Wallingford, Ways of the Hour, and
Precaution. ThiaJast volume will oontain. a .por
trait of Mr. Coopii, from a painting by Elliott ;,
view of Otsego Hall: a Blographieal Sketch by
William. C. Bryant; and a".liet of the volumes in
their proper order. blr. S. 408 Walnut
street, is sole agent for the series in tide oily.
Wssumarow Invisa's WORRS.—The moat re
'mit volume of this,Naitonat Edition of our great
prase writer, is the Life of Oliver Goldsmith, an
extremely interesting and readable work, which,
however popular in this country, was Oki-least
liked in England, of Irving's writings. The
feet is, it had been immediately preceded thereby .
the admirable biography of Goldmilith, from the
pen of Mr. John Forster, whigh, indeoendent of
its literary merit, wee admirably
_illustrated. All
the engravings is the present 'volume, with the et
caption of the frontispiece, have been copied from
Mr. Forster's book. Irving could not treat any
subject without adorning it, but hie Life. of Gold-'
smith, though pleasantly written, is too obVionaly,
Forster's at second-hand to be considered an ori
ginal work. -
By the way, we may here exprems a hope that
in this complete edition of Iriing will be included
the Biographical Sketch of Thomas Campbell, the
poet, which Irving wrote as it preface to an-Auto
slows edition of Campbell, and, bavirg " revised,
corrected, and materially altered" it, reprinted it
to The Analeetie Magazsne, Vol. V. 9 his peri
odioal, edited by Irving, was ptiblished in thishity
by Mr. Moses Thomas, and this particular volume
covered the period January—June, 1815. This
aketeh occupies sixteen Ragas octave, and is writ
ten in Master Geoffrey Crayon's earliest, which we
take to be his beat, style.
CHARLES DICKENS' Wonks.—Aenew volume has
just been added to Palawan's 12mo edition of
Mekong' Worbe. It contains the lad Chriatmaa
Story !t A Message from the sea, , i written by
Diskette and Wilkie Collins, and " The Unoomnier
oial Traveller," wholly from the pen of the
great master, and, though somewhat in the vein
of the original " Bketahea by Boa," breathing
that deeper philooopby which is created by bard
aentasta in tha battle of life. Thera/Ire tome parted
the " Traveller's" narrative's not ourpareed by any
of his more ambitions efforts. The little eketoh of
Carlavero's Mammoth Bottle, sent from Italy as a
grateful offering to a benefaator, is natural and
touching to a degree. ' '

THE FALL or GAETA4
Sieger in Modern Times,
I Front the London Times,
Gaeta is at loot taken. On the day that the
French fleet left, the doom of the plane was sealed.
It is, of course, to the oradie of the besieged, that
they have been able to , protract the defence for
three weeks longer, and it may be that Frenat
and his advinere have had routine for keeping
their bold on itallan territory for as long a period
as possible. Ihtt the fall of She place within a.
limited time was certain from the day the Barcilol
mien fleet was free to blockade it, and the army of
Eleldini could sot without fear of offending the.
Imperial arbiter. Aooording to news received this'
morning, the place had been earrendered yeater-Y
day ; Csaldini was already in osenpation of Mount;
Orlando, which commando it; and, probably ad we
write, the last stronghold of the Bourbon king err
the Italian Continent is in the bands of the Ito"
liens, and he he:aegis steaming tratmially across:.
M
the editernuan to whatever land he has oliosol
for bit easy and luxurious exile.
We know so little of the details of this siege, that
it is difficult to say host far the Pledmobtese have,
shown tbemselvee possessed of military esienee.i .
The theory of Louie API, that the highest qualitielf,
of a general were rued is siege op: rations , width,

talents,-has truth in it so far-that many very
coded commanders have been repulsed by very'
ordinary fortifications. We English have gene.
rally managed to supply. the *ant of engineering
skill Or Material by sheer courage; and we vane-.
laded Badajo fifty years since, and captured Delhi ,
the other day, with very little aid from science to
smooth the path of the storming parties. Conti
nental, armies go to work on a more scientific sys
tem, and delay the final moult until resistance
has become impossible. The parallels and sp•
prosohes must ne complete, every battery of the
place must he enfiladed by the besiege:a, lugs
masses of trope must be brought up ready to nap
port the aseutulting column, before athodern gene.

war. And, thanks to late improtements in gun.
nery, sieges hate biocides More soichtifie thahever.
The modern taker of cities most be an engineer, a
meabanioian, perhaps even a chemist; and if he
be these, be may sometimes hope for victory with.
oil any other quality of genetalahip. Ills men
may never have to dare death in the imminent
deadly breach ; he may. look on the " forlorn
hope" as a coarse and new obsolete instrument
of Ettedere. All he has to do is to calculate dimes.
lances, to measure the strength of guns, the weight
of projeotiles, the explosiveness of compounds.
Whether the Piedmontese showed a due kpowledge
of these subjects, we are unable to say; they have
been successful at last ; but the garrison, on the
other hand, has been able to make a long defence,
and by its tenacity to disturb the peace of the
oountry, and to shake the new Kieg's throne. The
length of the siege, however,' may be ascribed `
,
! touch More justly to th e etreoxth. of the Awe than
to any want of skill in the Piedmontese. Gaeta,
hat been, for a very long tithe, a tradition in the
Bourbon faintly. The late Kieglrerdinand-lavished
wealth upon it in the confidence that it would
always protect him in the time of need. Situated.
at the extremity of a tongue of land, It is
impregnable as long as the defenders have the ocure.i
mend' of the lea.' As insurrectionary &worn
manta seldom possess naval resources, and as hie'
own navy had always shown-aufßeient attachment
to his throne, the King naturally thought that
Gaeta was a sure refuge whenever treason sbould
raise its head itr the capital, and that it would..
serve as a basis of operations for any campaign to
be carried on in Southern Italy: Indeed, one can
conceive how easily a King entrenched at Gaeta,
and supported by Austrian and Tuscan and Roman
levies, and by his own faithful fleet, wend& make
his preparations for the reconqeeet of skde king
dom. So Gaeta was made a brat rate place of
strength, and had the honor otdefeeding the Pope
from_ &Xt - Auer:tee - of his own eubjec us thirteen
years ago. The present King seems from the first,
to have - bad no confidence in any spot of the Teta"
Sicilles, except Gaeta. Until he found himself
within its works he showed every kind of weak
ness, vacillation, and even cowardice. Ile gave
orders and countermanded them, entreated tpe
feirbearance of Oaribsidl, offered to join him in a
war againal Ansfria, and finally fled froth his
capital before a dozen red shirts. Bat such wa,
the strength of Gaeta, that from the time' he '
reached it, his courage returned. He probably
knew, or was told, that without the command of
the sea his enemies could do little against him, And
be resolved to retrinvichhi repatativer Icy-benoinier
tbe hero of a historio siege. The emsourageteent
to. this (muse sumo hate been sal the more since
the'Plidmontesse, wEciti - ka I:aerobes nastily through
the Pipet territory, were in want of heavy artillery,'!
and generally tinpNpaPed to undertake siege
operations of snob megnitude.
Bat all is now over. !Francis LI. ball done his
best and !his -.worst, and it has delayed and not
*hanged the event. The siege - of Oneta, hes been
an useless and senseless conflict. Every man who!
has fallen during these Eve weary months has
been murdered for the vainest of reascosito
satiety the point of honor, We, in England, taw
this from the first; and the Prince, who has more
than any one else helped to prolong the struggle,
mnst have seen it also._ Those who watched the
'affairs of Italy from a distance, knew bow Impost- ,
side it was that the royal power, onoe overthrown
in the Two Sleilies, could ever b e rehabilitated by
the anooesaes of limas. When at. Palermo 18,00 e
Neapolitan troops surrendered:to 1,400 Garibaldi
am, the Government of the Bourbons ormiabled to
the ground in the eyes'of Europe- Snob an army,'
it was justly thought; meat argue a political sye
tem and a ruler whom nothing could lave. Ever
since; the tame apeotecle has been continually re
pelted. The army, the fleet, the civil depart
. mente, the Church, even a part of the royal
dorerted to or endeavored to make terms
with the enemy. The Rowboat' could never be
restored, for there was nothing left through whieb
they could rule. Some priests in the country dis
triota. with the peasantry they taught, were the
only Bourbon partisans left in the kingdom.
• Had no foreign Power interfered all would have
been at pease, in a few weeks. But the French
Emperor .thought fit to chow hie symPaihY with
the royal cause. We have been told by the MOM -
teur—and the statement hius" been repeated from
Imperial lipe—that Napoleon was situated only by
pity for one who at an early age had met with a
great calamity, and that be desired only to insure
the personal safety of Franoie end of his devoted
Queen. Bat, with all respect for the imperoes
talents, we must take leave to say that if these
wore hie only motives his conduct was singularly
ill Jedged . There can be no doubt that every
man in Italy—Constitutionalist, Republican, Bi
tramontane, or Royalist—bas interpreted the pre
sence of Admiral Barbier de Tinan at G'eta as a
support to the cause of the Bourbon Monarchy.
As Boon as it was known that the French were
interfering, back came some of the European di
plomatic corps who had previously abandoned the
fallen King. The Pope openly thanked Napoleon
for his pious resistance to revolution. In Naples
itself signs of a formidable Bourbon ownspiracy
soon appeared.- There was everywhere a belief that,
the grenoh were, perhaps, about to reinstate the
King, and the (Marching and Dative of Southern
Italy began to reflect that it would - be as Well tribe
on the winning side. Henoe, treaeotable - move
ments began in the eapital, headed by oftioera in
the Neapolitan service, and summary arrests and
punishment were neces sarily resorted to'by the an
amities. The insurreotions in the Abrussi were
planned and carried out by the assistanetruf politi
cians high in office in the Pepsi States, and the
whole power of the Churoli in France was employ
to confirm the Emperor in his supposed' design of
protecting the Bourbon sovereign. Entails him
self was mainly encouraged to persist, by the hope
that the Emperor meant ultimately to. Give hint.
He is indeed, to be excused ;'for, shat.ttp in a
fortress, be knew but little of what was going for
ward, and perhaps, thought that there was a sin
cere and general wish for his reiteration..
The lose of life and the misery which have
been canted by this long strnegle will stain
his reputation legal than that of the monarch Wife

What has the Federal Government done tojnati
fy these aeserulta on Its extstencei- nee it proved
false to itspbligatione? Haa it invaded the rights
of the States, or used its powers oppressively and
to the injury of the people of the seceding States?
NO allegation of this kind is made; and in vain
may ate seek for any provocation on rte part. A
fogitlyesdave. lase .has been enacted, the stringent
provisions of which feint' every requirementof the
Constitution. It has in every case been suotiess
fully enforced, though often at great expense, and
at the point of the bayonet. Repugnant as nt to
the feelings of a large proportion of the people of
the North, it has beeif submitted to,_- and no slave
has been wrested from the grasp of Federal watt°-
. rity. The invasion of a slave State for the pur
pose of exciting a servile 'estimation wee prompt
ly put down by Federal troops; and the whole
military and naval power of the Republic would
i be employed to suppress such movements in the
slave States. Slavery, as it exists in the States,
enjoys a guarantee under the Federal Constitution
each as ft can receive from no other souroe. With
its destruction,
the inetittalon of slavery will re
ceive a shook that mut seriously affect the value
of slave property; Impairing, as it will, Ito sego
ritY, by the loss of the powerful protection it ono*
enjoyed. In the event of a division of the free and
slave States into two separate Confederations,
slaves escaping from the latter into the former
would not be restored. This would lead to great
lassos. as the certainty of freedom would oonstantly
atitulete them to flight into the free States.
Disunion, sooner or later, through one means
•or another, would lead to - thee ruin of the slave
States. T hey wenid be "surronaded on all sides

The slave States now forth part of a Government
'Thiel commands the respost- of- the world by its
power and its energy, and its free institntions.
An exclusively slave State confederacy wcinld Con
stitute an exception - to all other Governments in
this age of the world. It would not enlist the
sympatnies of the leading litotes of Europe, averse,
ea they ere known to be, to the exteeeten, and ex-
Jenrette, even, of negro slavery. It could not be
formidable in power, owing to the divisions of its
Population into free and slave, the letter in
all probability preponderating. Being almost ex
clusively a planting and agricultural community,
it would want that diversity of pursuits and inte
rests which make a nation rich and powerful. It
&mild not have within itself all the elements of ma
terial independence, as the United States now pos
_ rues, and which enable it to treat on a footing of
equality with other leading nations. It would no
=warily occupy a dependent and inferior position
strung the community of nations. Its citizens
would not, consequently, be animated by that na
tional pride 'lhst natural belongs to the members '
of a first-class power, like that of the United
Status of America ; nor would they enjoy
such a protection as that which ie derived from a
Government whose power is known and feared
• throughout the world.
If tree trade is to be the policy of the secession
Government, after it shall have dispensed with
the provisional adoption of the Constitution of the
United States, and established a new and perma
nent system, direst taxation nun be the only
means of Government support. From this source
alone must the army and navy expenditures be
sustained, and they will cast at least, per annum,
-.fifteen or twenty million dollars. Then, there will
- heavy cost of the civil list, and the diplomatlo
• establishment, domaking, in all, for a mixed-po
pulation of white and black of little more than four
million, an annual expenditure of at leapt $.30,000,-
000. All this must be raised by a capitation and
property tax, affecting alike the rich and the poor,
and reaching the pockets of every man, however
bumble in condition and poor in means. Men who
have lived under the Government of the United
States, participating in ell its invaluable privi
dirges, and it stimulating influence on individual
and national prosperity, without the oonsolousnese
of being taxe d . for its support, will not long remain
contented under an expensive system like that
propotied in the cotton States, the burdens of which
will rest oppressively on every man's shoulders in
the community. They will not fall to institute an
, favorable oomparisorus between the economical Go
vernment which their political leaders assumed to
renounce in their name, but without their ex
press authority, and that under which they are so
heavily taxed. The great revolutions have Arleen
from this very cense, and many a strong set throne
and ancient political system has been soddenly
overturned by a people vexed and harassed by the
burdensome taxation of an extravagant and costly
Government. When a man finds that the hard
earned fruits of his industry are seriously en
()coached OA by his mines, and that he Is obliged
to surrender to the Government what ie naneurary
to the comfort and independence of his family, a
spirit of discontent is kindled in the general mass
of the community, which, when least expected,
breaks forthwith voleanio fury, carrying desola
tion and destruction before it, and uprooting every
thing in its path.
If, air, any one has a right to be proud of his
native State, a Pennsylvanian surely has. No
State in the Union possesses more of the requisites
for independent existence than Pennsylvania.

have faith in the people. We cannot overrule their

the decialontof the Sdpreme Court, (if it ka.s really

that decision stands, no tlongfessional legislation
can invalidate it, and we must, therefore, aot ac

in the States, the District of Columbia, Ac., as it
would deprive Congress of all power ever the sub.

Remarks of Judge Lewis • to
chatter:, on Presenting the Bel:1011P
tions of the Denioerntic Convention.
The Convention of the Democratic party that
assembled at Harrisburg on the 224 ultimo was the
largest that ever assembled in this Commonwealth.
It was composed of distinguished men from every
part of the, State, representing every shade of
opinion heretofore existing in the party.
Ex-Chief Junkie Lewis was chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, ant reported them to the
Convention. They were unanimously adopted. A
committee of thirty-four was appointed to convey
these resolutions to the Peace Congress, and to the
President and Vies President of the United States.
This committee attended in the East Room of the
•
White House on Saturday evening last, and Chief
Justice Lewis, es its organ, presented the resolu-
Sone to and addressed the President as follows :

held in Harrisburg ou the nat. and-223 February,
rem.
It gives me great pleasure that I have been ee
'toted by my fellow-citizens as their organ on this 1
Oceael011: first, because I know that you will be
- gratified with the pleasing Intelligent'e we are
about to communicate; and, secondly, because it
comes through the channel of one old neighbor and
personal friend to another. We are charged with
the agreeable duty of presenting to you a oopy of
'the resolutions adopted by that great Convention.
I speak of it as a great Convention, because it was
the largest representative assembly ever convened
in that Commonwealth, and because it comprised
the wisdom of men distinguished for their long ex
perience in publio life, and the energy of others,
younger in years, but equally well known for their
patriotic devotion to the free institutions of their
country.. I speak of It as a great Convention, be
cause it was composed of leading and influential
man from every part of the State, and of every
shade of opinion heretofore existing among our
polities' brethren.
Your Rxeellemay is aware that the party which
has hitherto had the ohipf agency in sustaining,
and in administering our wise system of self
government, was unfortunately distracted by dif
terenoss of opinion in relation to the selection of
your successor In offioe. This destruction of our
harmony paralyzed our action, and was one of the
principal means by which our political adversaries
were enabled to gain their temporary triumph at
the late Presidential election, and thus to bring
upon the country the deep gloom which now
spread' itself, over the land.
It will give you
greet pleasure to learn that the dissensions to
whisk I refer, so far as they street your native
State, are entirely healed - that all private griefs
are "in the deep bosom o f ocean buried ;" and
that the great conservative party, whosebattles,
when united, are always victories , are now united
as a band of brothers, with one heart, and one
voice, and that they are ready and able, when a
legitimate opportunity shall offer, to rescue the
Government from the hands of those whose avowed
principles and threatened purposes ate rapidly
producing its destruction.
Our Convention met on the '2lst of February,
and clod its labors on the 224, a day which gave
birth to the Father of our Country, and a fitting
day for the serious consideration of our prevent
national difficulties. The closing action of that
Convention was the adoption of thee* resolutions,
and the appointment of this committee. The full
number of delegates called was three hundred and
ninety-nine, and, with very few exeeptians, all
were in attendants..
A Committee on Resolutions was appointed.
That committee was composed of thirty-three
members, selected, not by the presiding officer,
but by the Convention itself, the delegates residing
in each Senatorial district choosing for themselves,
the member who was to represent them in the
'committee.
In speaking of my brethern on that commitee,
trust that I may be allowed to assure you that
they were statesmen and patriots, distinguished
for their sound discretion and their past services.
After many hours of oalm. dignified, and inde
pendent, buklirmontous deliberation, they unani
mously agree 'upon every resolution reported to
the Convention ; and every resolution thus report
ed was unanimously adopted by that Convention,
every member rising from his seat, and proclaim
ing with an earnestness which could not be mis
taken, his hearty approbation of the sentiments
expressed in the resolutions.
you will perceive that the platform thug con
struoted ie ono on which the whole Doncooratio
party may stand fa their union and strength .
There is not a single unsound plank In it. It is a
platform on which all true friends of the Constim- •
tion and the Union, and all patriots and law
abiding citizens, of every party, may gather them
selves together , to save their country from the
oyamitice wbieh threaten its destruction.
You will also see that the Convention has clearly
affirmed that the several States of this Union are
sovereign and Independent over every subject not
eurrendered to the - Federal Government, and that
they have no right to interfere with each other's
domestic institutions, but are bound by the Con
stitution to protect and defend them. There is also
a distinct recognition of the doctrine that the Go
vernment of the United States, although limited
in its authority to the subjects enunciated in the
Federal Constitution, pnaleeses, within aims limits,
supreme authority, and has the usual and neces
sary powers for preserving itself and enforcing
its laws
I know that it will give you real satisfaction to
learn that the high council of our party whoee re
presentatives we are on this occasion, has not
hesitated to affirm, - with entire unanimity, that our
Southern brethren have equal rights with ourselves
i in the Territories, acquired by the blood and trea
sure. of all for the common benefit of all ; that
this right is founded on the clearest equity, is eup•
ported by the decision of the highest court in the
Union, and ought to be sustained by • every law
abiding citizen until some satisfactory division of
the territory be settled by an amendment of the
Constitution_ In this fearless support of estab
lished rights, our Coniention has not followed the
example of those who acknowledge the justice of
these principles, but have not the courage to sup
port them, and who know the duly of obedience to
the decrees of oar highest court, but cannot bring
their allegiance up to the true standard of an en
lightened conscience.
You will also perceive that our people in Penn
sylvania are in favor of aiding in the execution of
that clause of the Constitution which requires the
Stites to deliver up fugitive slaves to their owner's,
and also in favor of repealing all statutes which
obstruct its execution, and of substituting other
enactments, In accordance with the Federal duties
of the State.
The Democratte party have also avowed a deep
and abiding attaohment to the Union of the States.
TWO CENTS.
They will cling to it as the last hope of freedom ;
as the great erperiment in self-gOvernment. whin
is to light the nations of the earth to liberty and'
independence. They have also expressed, in one
Othello resolutions, a determination to oppose. die
countenance,-and prevent, by all proper and le
gicimate means, any attempt, on the part of the
Republicans in power, to make armed aggression
upep, the king:tern States, sepeglaily ISO long as the
nights of the latter continue to -be unaware% de
vied. and obstructed.
All these resolutions were adopted with entire
unanimity. Bat the one which oondetaried armed
aggression upon the Southern States while their
rights were denied, was received with the most un
bounded onthuaisem. It wee evident, from the
loud and lonpoontinued shouts of applanse k whieh
burst spontaneously from that grave and Intern.
gent assembly, that their besets revolted =against

After.many calls for Mr. Lincoln he appeared,

every eye When silence was restored, Mr. Lin
coln spoke as follows ;
MR. LINCOLN'S SMIRCH
MY FRIENDS : I suppose that I may take this as
a compliment paid to me, and as such please ac
cept my thanks forit. I have reached this pity of
Washington under circumstances considerably dif

of taking an official position amongst the people,

(pries of "Good," and applausel—that we are in

The speaker retired 'amid the most vociferous
cheering.
After one or two national airs from the hand,
the crowd proceeded to the rosidenoeuf the Hon.
Thomas Corwin on "G . , between Fourteenth and Fif
teenth streets. The bind , perforated the favorite
patriotic air of "Hail Columbis," when, in re
sponse to repeated calls, Mr. Corwin made his ap
pearance and address ed the assembled gathering
in the following words
• coasvirt's arearn.
GEWILBNIEN : I cannot misunderstand the ob
ject which haa brought you here I know it is the
passion which every true American feels who loves
his country, the Constitution, and the Union of
these States. (Applause.) I think the time in
which we live has come upon us for the purpose of
revivifying that ancient lord of true conetttution
al liberty regulated by law. ("That's so," and
applenee.l And it gives me great pleasure, under
these circumstances, to see this number of men
united for that general idea and for that general
purpose. [Good.] I em happy to say to you to
night, gentlemen, that the Congress of the United
States, in one of its branches, to-day, said that that
portion of your Constitution. made by your fathers
and mine, which secures to each State the right to
mould its own domestic institutions according to
its own ideas of policy and propriety shall remain
so forever. [Vociferous cheering ] I think that
the developments of to-day, accompanied by such
as we shall be happy to see in the course of a few
weeks, will have the effect to dispel muoh of that
misunderstanding which led to the late unhappy '
consequences we all so much deplore. Gentlemen,
it is a time when men are required to cease talking,
and work —r•Good.'•j—to attest their feelings of
patriotic devotion to this great and glorious eGue.
try of ours, not so much by words as by deeds.
'[Applause ] Let each of us, therefore, remember
that since we have a constitutional President,
elected in a constitutional manner, it becomes our
duty to give that President and the policy which
he may happen to present to the country a liberal
and fair consideration. ("Good."J If it shall not
equate with the doctrines which belong to the Con
eutntion and institutions of this country he will find
himself abandoned by the very men who have eleva
ted him and be left at the mercy of the few. ("That's
so."] Gentlemen, if I were able, and it was your
purpose, or mine, here to confer together upon
this subject for ten hours, it would be nothir more,
at least, than I have said. Let each one o fus re
member that we are citizens of one Government.
Let us remember that this country is incur betide
to be saved or lost, as our madness or our wisdom
shall determine. Gentlemen, I again return you
my thanks for this mark of your kindness. [Loud
applause
' From the residence of Mr. Corwin, the vast as.
semblage, which had by this time gained mime
rons accessions, repaired to the residence of the
Hon. Win 11. Seward, on F street, between Thir
teenth mid Fourteenth.
' After one or two stirring airs from the band; Mr
L. Clephane came forward, and stated that it was
with extreme regret that he had to announce that
Mr. Seward was absent at a dinner patty. The
, prooession then took up the line of march for the
quarters of Mr. Hamlin, on Pennsylvania avenue,
near Third street.
On arriving in front of the homer, Mr. Hamlin
, made his appearance, after loud and prolonged
cheering, and, on being introduced by Mr. Ole
phone, spoke as follows.

and saw a quantity of feathers scattered about the
floor, and some tied. up in a cloth In thg course
of conversation, he inquired of }Medley, why the
feathers were thus strewn over the floor, to which
he replied, that his wife had taken the bed fieke to
Philadelphia to get law fathers for them. Similar
inquiries were by different persons, to some of
whom he replied that ha bad emptied them him
