In reeponse ' to this • sentiment, Mr, Mortis Sellers of the Des Moines Rail road, said: • GENTLE:awn In responding to the toast offered. yon—the American Loco motive—l feel incapable of offering•any expression worthy of the theme. The American locomotive, through the intel ligence and instrumentality of the me chanics of this country, in points of arch; itectural beauty, economical operation, and efficiency, stands to -day second to mai°. We, as Americans, can look with pride upon the handiwork of our me obanics and defy comparisons, runinng Ats they are ripen superstructures far in ferior to those of other countries, and far more destructive to machinery. we show an ,amount of service unsurpassed. : may, or I May.say all - the genttemen here present, can look back, (it is only a few years.~. sine ,) and - compare the laio motiveof that day to the engine of this, and itt,that comparison what a marked improvement dec we see; in no other branchof mechanical arts haa the pro gress . towards peXfoction been greater than in the American lotionlotlve.

Nor did any heimprovement offer itsef to them but ty endeavored to realize l and adopt it, thereby perfecting their work. To the locomotive are we all indebted for the rapid growth and fast accumula ting wealth of our country.

Hopkins, Esq., of the Allegheny county, bar made the following response to the sentiment: - - t I ar.'President: The'sentiment to which m called upon to respond is bug geative not only of the recent grand achievements of science, but of the vast, illimitable resources of this mighty na tion and of its future power and glory. In, all the volumes of 'history there is no record so far reaching and manifold 'in its betifficial.„lnfluendes so" eacoessffilly,- and speedily 'accomplished. The giant pyramids of Egypt may excite our wonder. the gorgeous cathedrals of Europe may elicit-our admiration,- but the Pacific Railroad: 'melons not only amazement and:delight, but pride, patri otism and ampitiOn. It is la mopument - Mere - enduring and serving a • nobler purpose than all the pyramids; It is a pulpit from which the lesson of christian civilization may be learned by the most unlimited auditory. [Applause.] :Its effect upon our national prosperity 'cannot be estimated. The inexhaustible wealth of our mines, the vast yet nude velopotk iculal resources and the immense co mme rci al and manufacturing interests which are fast following the completion of this road, give but afore. taste of the not far distant scene.] The recent 'undisturbed ranges of the ante lope and buffalo, are •dotted over with infant colonies; upon the late hunting grounds . of. the Indian the - scream of the steam whistle and the rumble of machinery are heard, . and soon front some of the towering peaks of gold ribbed RockY Mountains may be witnessed 4 scone surpassing in gran dure, wealth, prosperity and promise, that which met the rapt gaze of Moses as ho stood entranced upon the summit of Pisgah. (Prolonged applause.) Bat a few weeks have elapsed since a fair hand, all glittering „with h-golden -bracelet, was ' stretched put over the Sierra Nava ta and placed confidingly in a strong iron grasp, and the very lightnings of Heaved, as they flashed along 'a thbusand wires, rang out the joyful marriage bells of the Atlantic and Eaollio in every town and village in the As the happy offspring of this 'auspic ious union we may soon . expect a whole brood of Pacific railroads. Already two or three roads are in process of =straw. tion, and a distinguished citizen of Pitts burgh has just returned from kurveying' the rotate of the Northern Pelfic, and' Pennsylvania capital is pledged to its completion. (Enthusiastic Applause.) As eitizens,proud of eur country's glory and solicitous for our nation's prosper ity, we should all Rejoice in the con. struation of these public improvements.

H. M. Britton. Esq., was next loudly called for, anli he made a very neat and happy spe ech, In which he paid honor to our goodly city of smoke, and in no stinted way complimented our manu facturers for their industry, fair -dealing and enterprise.
