BANQUETS AT SUNBURY.
Participation of 400 1'hiladdphiant.
On Thursday the formal opeuing took place
wiiich celebrated tbe direct connection of
Sunbury with Philadelphia, by means of the
Heading, the Miue Hill and tbe sbamoki
valley railroads. A short time since tb
link joining the two latter roads wsa finished
and by Ibis means the party which lett Pbua
delphia were enabled, without a single Chang
or cars, to pass over tne wbole distance of I
about a hundred aud forty miles. Tbe cere
monieB wbicb inaugurated this event will be
long remembered by those who participated
in them, lor not only did tbe deligtitlul weatb
er wbicb attended us during tbe greater par
of tbe trip, end the excellent orangenieDts of
tbose having chargo, teud to render the ex
cursion pleasant, but the route passed ova
also carried the party through one of tbe
most interesting regions of tbe State, and ex
bibiled to them some ot tbe vast internal
resources or I enneylvama and ber Croat
capabilities lor uiineiai development.
leaving tbe river above Schuylkill Haven
we Boon arrived at Cressooa, where a most
hearty and acceptable welcome was given us
to the Mine Hill road. The train stopped ;
a hospitable summons to lunch followed, and
strauge 08 it muy appear, nut a single roan of
the party refused the oO'er. We lett Cresso
na, at about two o'clock, and ufter a abort
ride were in the heart of one of our great coal
regions. Oo every side, as the truio hurried
along, tbe results of railroad enterprise were
manliest, and tbe evideuces or tbat mineral
wealth wbicb will eveutually give to Penn
sylvania a position and importance whicb do
otbor State can possess. Ail along tbe line
of tbe road flourishing towns have grown up,
lateral roads bave been built, tbe extensive
collieries afford employment for thousands of
men, and in place ol tbe reeble trade of old
times there was, during tbe last year, an
amount of coul exported amounting to almost
two millions of tons. The great advantages
procured to our State by tbe Mine Hill road,
exhibit forcibly tbe necessity of a similar en
terprise id places as yet ondeveloped, and we
have do doubt tbat tbo opportunity afforded
to our citizens of personally observing tbese
improvements will give additional vigor to
their endeavors in other directions. Tbe
most striking natural feature and greatest tri
umph of the engineering art which we wit
nessed during tbe trip was at tbat point
where tbe roud crosses tbe Broad Mooulain.
Wiudiog around the face of tbis natural bar
rier, wbicb for so long a time proved an in
surmountable obstai-ld to progress, tbe road
ascends rapidly and easily to tbe summit, ond
from there a prospect is presented which
more than equals in its grand beauty tbe
magnificent view from the Alleghany summit
ou the Pennsylvania Central. In tbe dis
tance, fur to the left, Potlsville can be dis
covered, almost bidden by tbe hills io wbicb
it is embosomed, while at our feet is spread
a valley active with all tbe signs of lile and
industry: and as we stand at ibis position,
and look back upon the coming windings of
our course tnroogu tbe mountain passes, and
its Dual bold asceut, we realize tbe wonder
ful achievements of the human iutolluct over
material difficulties.
We descended by two Inclined plsnes tbe
one 4593 long, with aiise of 313 feet, tbe
other 4709 feet by 409 and shortly after
reacoeu ine roiisviiie aud SUamokia Valley
road, over whicb we were conveyed toSuubu-
ry. No trouble or dauger was experienced
at tbis portion of the route, although, to
increase tbe facilities for passenger travel, a
regular grude has been surveyed, and will,
probably, be constructed as soon as Ibe ne
cessities ef busiuess demand it. At tbe differ,
ent towns by wbicb we went, the cilixeua
turned out to welcome us j aud at one place
a flag, suspended over tbe train as it passed,
bore the appropriate motto, Another link iu
the great cliuiu of railway, may it never bs bro
ken." Many gentlemeu iuterested in tbe
excur.iuu joined us before reaching Sunbury,
so tbat when we arrived Ibere, early io tbe

ment to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad,
which was responded to by Mr. Price, one ol
tbe gentlemeu connected wun its manage

tage whicb the road, when completed, would
prove to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
Ue alluded to tne present cooanion oi me
work ; what a small portion comparatively
was unfinished ; tbe necessity of its comple
tion, and tbe immense lake trade which
would be brought by it to Philadelphia. Mr.
Price has bad opportunities of personally
inspejting the road, and bis views were listen
ed to with great iuterest. Uis speech was a
lavorable oue. and it is to be hoped will aid
in procuring that hearty co operation which
tbo Sunbury and line requires.
In reply to a toast to "Tbe Reading rail
road the road with the best grades and
greatest tonnage iu the country," its Vice
President, Mr. Steele, responded in a few
telling remarks : and, among other things,
expressed tbe hope tbut tbe Iriendly relations
between tbe roud which he represented and
tho Schuylkill Navigation Company might
long couliouo.
Toasts were also given to the Pennsylva
nia, Wilmington, Shainokin Valley, Northern
Central, aud other roads, and replies were
made by Mr. Felton aud others, in a man-,
ner wbicb elicited much udmiration ; and we
regret that we are nuable to give in greater
detail an account of tbeir speeches. In
answer to a eetiment to the coal aud iron
interests, Mr. Haywood, of Potlsville, mado
a characteristically vigorous answer, in which
tbe early endeavors and preseut triumphs of
tbe railroad were sketched, and a high com
pliment paid to the aid whicb Norris and
Baldwin have given in accomplishing this
result.
SPEECH OF S. II. FELTON.
Mr. Felton, President of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore road, said :
At tbat period tbe enterprise, which has
since constructed thousands of miles of iron
rail, was dormant. Old prejudices operated
against every improvement which tbe more
intelligent men were desirous of making, and
when at length tbese men obtained a alight
foothold, aud advocated tbe use of steam in
tbe trausportation of passengers, the opposi
tion became no less bitter than absurd. The
owuers of horses the proprietors of tbe
countless means of slow conveyance argued
that tbeir means of livelihood would be de
stroyed. As tbe iuQuence wbicb tbese peo
ple wielded waa extensive, they found many
converts. After events showed, however,
that tbey were utterly mistaken, as the con
struction of ruilroadd more than doubled tbe
demand fur horses. Tbe feeliug wbicb was
aroused was strong, and bud been well ex
pressed in tbe columns of tbe Quarterly He
view, of Marcb, 1S20. Tbo aiticle wun writ
tun with special upplicatio to Kugluod, but
answered equally well for America. The
editor said: "We are Dot udvueutea for
visionary projects that iuterfere with useful
establishments. II V scout the idea of a
tailroad as impracticable. What cau be
more palpably absurd and ridiculous than the
prospects held out of locomotives traveling
twice at fast as Btuge coaches t We should os
sooo expect the puople of Woolwich to suffer
themselves to be bred off upon one of Ceo
preve's richolet rockets, as to put themselves
to the mercy of such a machine, goiog at such
a rate."
Tbe speaker concluded by introducing to
tbe company Mr. John W. CrisQcld, Presi
dent of the Eastern Share Railroad of Mary
land.
tub LKUion coal region.
Tbe next toast wbicb was proposed was
Tbo Lehigh Coal Region.'' This met a
response at the bands of Mr. Martin Coryele,
who said, among other thiogs, "we see to day
in our excursion a county differing from our
own. We are situated on tbe top of tbe
mountain, end descend to ber markets. Here
you bave to employ energy aud skill to cross
mountains. 1 his town (Sunbury) was con
sidered as most important as a starting point
for railways, as fur back as 1836, when tbe
late Nicholas Biddle, (wbo wrs a man io
advance of bis time,) and some others, ol
whom Judge Lewis was one, met in conven
tion at Harrisburg to urge upon tbe State
and people to make a road from here up both
branches of tbe Susquebanuu, from tbeoce to
Pittsburg, Erie and tbe North. The work is
being accomplished now, ani 1 trust Judge
Lewis and many others will see it accom
plished in a short time."
Dr. Elder, Geo. Clement, of Sunbnry, and
other speakers also addressed tbe company,
and were received in a way wbicb showed
tbeir popularity, and it was Dot until late
tbat the meeting adjourned amidst repeated
cheers and tbe best fueling. A proposition
bad been made tbat as the party was large,
a portion should seek quarters outside of
the town, which was instantly rejected by
tbo citizens, wbo said Sunbury bad hearts
and bouses large eoougb to eutertain us all,
and so it proved, for our tbsnks are due them
for tbe generous hospitality displayed. Yes

aud urge Dim to accept tne appoiuimenv,
udoo the eround that be (Mr. Buchanan) be
lieved tbe peace of Kansas, tba peace of tbe
country, and the Union itself, was in dsbger,
and that Mr. Walker was tbe only luitsblo
man in America to administer tbat office in
such a jucture of affairs. 1 visited bim ac
cordingly, end urged bim es a patriot to
make tbe sacrifice and co to Kansas.
Mr. Walker replied tbat if tbe resident
put it upon tbe ground tbat the Union was
in danger, and luat De was mem on io periorm
the hico trust under tbese circumstances be
would not decline; but tbat be would never
go to Kansas nnless tbe administration stood
pledged to the principle tbat ineconsinuiioo
whatever it might be when formed in Kansas
should be submitted to tbe people lor accept
ance or rejection.
It is well known to tdj friends that I am
not in tbs habit of writing political letters
It is true that I Rave many letters of intro
duction to Mr. Calbooo, to persons applying
for surveying contracts, or having business
with ibe land office io Kansas, end 1 may
possibly have written bim, narrating ibis id
terview. But 1 am very sure that I wrote
bim do letter upoo tbe subject of politics, or
tbe Lecomplon Constitution, pending lue
session of tbe Convention. Walker proceeded
to Kansas, and published bis inaugural ad
dress, containing the statement that be was
authorized by tbe President and bis Cabinet
to say that the Constitution would be reject
ed uuless it was submitted to the vote of tbe
people. When tbe Convention adopted tbe
constitution aod declared il in force, without
submitting it'to the people, I denounced it
tbe very instant 1 heard of it. (Tretnedous
sboutB of opplasse.) Ibe very Light tb
Dews arrived at Chicago, bringing tbe form
of submission of tbe slavery clause, 1 denoun
ced it in unmeasured terms. 1 denounced it
before 1 know what tbe course of any other
man in America iu relation to it would be
(Cries of "Bravo." "That's a man," and
applause.) 1 did not Wait one hour, or one
nnuate when 1 discovered tbe trick by which
the people were to be cheated.
It you look iuto the Lecompton constitu
tion, you will Cud that the original document
made Kausns a slave State, end then tbe
schedule submitted another slavery clause
to the people to vote for or against ; if tbey
voted lor it Kansas was a slave Slate, and if
they voted against it still il was a slave
State. When 1 reached Washington, three
days before the nieetiug of Congrese, 1 went
directly to tbe Pre6ideut aod bad a talk with
bim upoo this subject, io wbicb I informed
bim, as a friend, not to send tbo constitution
into Congress for acceptance. I told bim it
was a violation of every pledge we had made
to tbe people, a violaliou ol tbe tuudumental
principles ol lue Ueuiocruuc party, aud a
violation of the principles ol ull parlies in all
Republican governments becuute il was an
attempt to lorce a constitution on an uuwiil
ing people. He begged me Dot to Bay a any
thing upon the subject until we should heur
the uuws as to bow the vote stood oo the
slavery clause. Tbe vote, you remember,
was to be taken on tbe slavery cluuae on the
21st of December, threo or four weeks subse
quent to this Convention. 1 told the l'rtsi
deut that if be would withhold bis recommen
dation until the vote was taken on that clause
1 would withhold oiy speech against tbe
measure. He suid be must recommend it iu
bis message, and 1 replied that if be did 1
would deuouoce it llio moment bis message
was read. (Great applause. A voice, "Vi
like you for it.")
At last tbe President became somewhat
excited upon tbe subject (laughter) aud
be arose aud said to ne. "Air. i'ouilas, 1
desire yon to remember that no Democrat
ever yet differed from an administration of
Ins own choice without being crushed."
("Ahl" uud laughter). Then be udded,
'Beware ol tbe lute of Talliuadge and Rives."
1 arose and said, "Mr. President, 1 wish yon
to remember that General Jackson is dead,
sir." (Tumultuous cbeeriugl. 1'ioin tbat

IT IS A COMMON OBSERVATION
that there nre more sufferers from tteVlity
among Americans, than can be found amuug
any otber civilized nation. 1 be reason is
obviocs. We take too little exercise, and
forget tbe wants of tbe body in tbe absorbing

ordinary medicines can do little good, What
is required is just such a tonic and invigoru

pretentions, but less efficacious medicines.
but it should Dot be forgotten tbat the agent
