Tl.eso di't'.i ii nel' S arose in the ComniisMoner'a olllee. and the enor mous list of expenditures were returned to ,th; auditors to cover up track, so much so, that it lias attracted the attention of t.hn people generally.

This Mist reception was n complete success, and tlio ''fair won'en and brave men" of our great State wero there in numbers exceeding twelve or thirteen hundred. The entire Pennsylvania dele gation in Congress were in attendance, with '.he single exception of .Senator Cameron, who was unexpectedly detained in the Sen ate, probably watching Senator Truinhull in his ntiem'pt to perform a double sum mersault, and accept tho -"jiassive policy" of the hard-np Democracy. Tho President, Vice President, Secretaries Delano nnd llcikuap, the Japnncse iMinister, nnd nu merous oilier ilistingu shed and eminent personages favored us with their presence. Our mutual friend A. A. Shissler, lisq.. President of the Association, and Chair man of (he lteceptiou Committee, escorted President Oram to tlie platform, nnd al'ieV the seating of the guests, delivered a neat and appropriate address, slating tho object of tho Association, and then introduced tlio speakers of the evening. tr. Shissler acquitted himself creditably, and his c Doris to make every onu comfortable much pleas ed bis numerous fiiemls. lion. William T. Haines made the speech of welcome, in a very pretty address, which was eloquently responded to by tlie Hon. John 11. Packer, on llio part of tho Con giissloinil ileleuation. Senator Scott then delivered a short address, alter which, all who desired; wire lesenlcd to President (i rant nnd Mr. Colfax by Mr. Shissler. This being through, dancing was com menced by those who wished '"to trip it on the light fantastic toe," and continued to the ' wcu stna hours of the nioru," and when the orchestra played tho old tune of "II ime," time remaining to bear il, ex pressed a wish for the speedy coming of the second sociable of our Association. I send you a hon ied ami partial synopsis of Mr. Packer's address, which is as full ns I could report it.

They declared too, that elections should be free and equal, and, centuries in advance of the civilization of Kuropc, mid in de fiance of what was then regarded hy states men and philosophers ns ''the ripened wis dom of tho ages," they declared that no one should bo imprisoned for debt; they softened tho severities of tho peuat code, abolishing the death penalty in every ease, except that of wilful ami deliberate niurder. and, true to the cherished principles of uni versal equality, they swept away llio estab lished feudal rules of primogeniture, giving to nil the children alike an equal share iu the iulierilaneo of their Ancestor. The familiar facts in our history mny bo trite, but they are suggestive, and cannot be too often referred to ns explanatory of our wonderful success and advancement. Under our humane, just and liberal system of laws, thus wisely and hapily inaueuiatid, die population nl ' Pennsylvania, which in IT'.K) had r. aoliod 4:il,0lli)',now exceeds three millions nnd a half. In the development of our mineral, ngricultur.il nnd oilier re sources wo have advanced as no oilier peo ple have ever done before; with magnifi cent lines of railways and canals, attest jug die public spirit and chliubli lied etilerpriiio of our people. Loiisiriielid at n cost of mil lions of dollnrs, for the transportation of our products, and like a net-work, extend ing in almost every direction across our Shite, we have in addition more miles of railroads in our mines, in tlio very bowels of the earth, than many nations of tho old world, which were thickly populated when Pennsylvania was n howling wilderness, have w ithin all llu i i borders. lhiring the current year, not yet closed, we have taken from nppnreiilly inexhausti ble mines, and si lit to market, morn than 17.tltKI.0lll) tons of coal, and from die fii'.t ness of our internal reservoir, within thu same period, have gushed forth two hun dred and hl'iy million gallons of petroleum, which has been sent forth (o tin il it Uijld upon most of dm ciiiuuicrciiil nations 'of the world. 1 Mere Mr. Packer 'made so-ncwhal ix- teiuled reference, to the great farming and uyrieiilltirnl interests of our State, die sla tistieal portions ol which 1 will send you iu my next. So, too, in all the depai tmenls of the Ails, science and manufactures, as well ns iiuricullure, (he oilieial statistics show that we are not behind nuv of our sister com monwealths, while, guided by an intelligent npjireciatioii and proper apprehension of their great resources, and of the Iruu and just relation of labor lo capital, llio indus trious, fruual anil enterprising people of ourNiate have so prudently divcrsilicd their industries nml wisely invested their means, that liolhing hut the most unwise mid un just legislation can ever arrest or retard the onward march of their wonderful progress. And, sir, not forgetting, that from those to whom much is given, much will be re quired, the philanthropic citizens of Penn sylvania, through mi admirable system of both public and priviio charities, ant pro verbial for their liberal dispensation of ample helielits and blessings upon uul'ortu nale or sulliriiig humanity. So also, recognizing tin- vast importance ol educating tic s.lo whom (he sacred trust of free govei lllll -lit .s lo be committed, that they more fully kimw their rights and uu deislaud their n spousihilnies, our Suite opens the door of the school room to all In r ciii dren. poor nml rich alike, and bids t In-ill enter ! I'mler the operation of her free school system this day. since the rising of this mori,ino'H sun, between die watirs of the lVlaware and the shores of Lake Kric, in more than lil'tccn thousand schools, tauidil by eighteen thousand leaelu is, eight bundled thousand of l'euusylvaui a's bricbl eyed bo, s and girls, the future men and women of our country, are receiving in slruclioti iu the lessons by which they nre lo he prepared for the performance aim dis charge of the important dudes of life." In closing, Mr. Packer paid a glowiiiL tribute lo the 'memory of Pennsylvania's sons who gave up iheir lives, that we might have uu undivided country, praised those who had nobly Volunteered when called lo arms by the lamculeil marly red President Lincoln, and spoke feelingly of die soldiers orphans ivho are being educa ted and protected by good old Pennsylva nia.
