Irwin, in the annexed remarks and toast.
Gentlemen:—We have met together this
evening to greet cur Representative on

brand of fellowahip—to offer lom a well-
Merited compliment, to his unwearied at
teution to the interests of ivs constituents

without distinction of party, and as no
one, I am sure, would desire to intefere
with that understanding, I may yet with
propriety be r:rmnted to advert b r i e fly t o
some, few topics in the course of our rep
resentative which regard our own immedi•

he has been oppointed by the President,
in a distant land, and whilst in Chia way
we have met to greet him on his return
and offer him our felicitations on his ap
pointment, I cannot but regret the absence
of one so useful and so zealous for the in
terests of Pittsburgh. At this juncture do
I particularly regret hi, absence and the
aid he could give us in arousing us from
our saltiness, and inspiring us with anima
tion in proceeding with the only impor
tant work which vet remains to render
this city unrivalled in its facilities for trade
and travel. and to which I rejoice to see,
within a few days, the public attention has
been in some degree directed. It is
scarcely necessary to say I refer to the ne
cessity of immetlate action, unsleeping
effort, and generous sacrifice on the part of
I our citizens to a connexion by Rail Road
with Cumberland.
1 will detain you no further, and con
elude by offering the follo.vitig sentiment:
W. W. Irwin. our late Representative
in Congress.—We tender him our cordial
thanks for his services and our sit.cete
aspirations for his health and happiness in
the new department of public duty to
which ha has bee.i
Throughout he s l ieech, every allusion to
the guest of his constituents was received
with the most cordial applaum and the sen
timent at the close called forth repea'ed and
renewed bursts of approval.
Mr Irwin rose, laboring under the deep*
est emotions,: which even his usual self—
possession could nu t c , nceai, hut,- withal,
the only opinion was, he never looked nor
spoke better. His remarks, which we
have endeavored to collect as accuratelv as
passible, we need hardly say, filled the
hearts of all his friends
Mr. Chairman
1 would be wanting in manly sensibility
did I not feel, deeply feel, the kindness
and generosity of the comptirnent paid to
me, by my fellowscitizens, this evening.
It is no light matter to tear oneself from
home, and kindred, and constituent', and
country, but it is a cheering consolation to
him who is thus about to separate from
l i almost all that he holds most dear on
I earth, to know that he leaves behind him
warm hearts who will sympathise with his
fortunes. Sir, I want words to give utter
ance to the emotions which crowd upon
me at this moment.
Gentlemen, your worthy chairman has
b en pleased to allude to nay humble see
vices as your representativ-, the value of
which he has too highly estimated. IA ith.
out, gentlemen, presuming to offer a word
of argument, or of discussion, in connec
tion w ith any political topic, which may.
even in the slightest degree, wound the
feelings of any one, it is perhaps due to
the occasion that I should, briefly a; may
be, disclose to you, the course of policy and
principles by which I was governed, while
in Congress. Gentlemen, it was with no
light heart, or bold confidence, I took my
seat in the Hall of Representatives, at the
opening of the 27th Congress. I saw he
fore me,and around mean array of infellec,
teal force and power, such as is seldom
witnessed on any theatre, even in this en
lightened country. There were veteran
statesmen, experienced part amentary tac .
ticians, brilliant orators, adroit politicians,
and tea who had appeared for the firs'
time, on that arena, but who were burning
with an ardent ambition for honorable fame.
I had succeeded men, your former repre
sentatives, who had left behind them repu
tation for services and ability, such as it
would have been presumptuous in the to
have hord to attain.
It would have been imekessible for any
man of ordinary reflection not to have for
seen that all the great questions of national
policy,—all the great measures of federal
administration, not excepting the fearful
issues of peace or war, which had agi'ated,
divided and convulsed the American people
for the last twenty five years,woula be mar
shelled for the consideration, discussion
and action of that 27th Congress. It was
quite as easy to see that, daily, nay hourly,
questions of vital importance to the inter,
eats of the whole country, might be sud
denly sprung upon the inexperienced rep
resentative. You,rny constituents, were not
at my elbow to counsel and advise me in
my votes. I was not long, gentlemen, in
deciding upon the course which I silt uld
pursue. It may have been a perilous on e ,
but it was simple and straight forward.
I the first place, I determined that in
no eruergeirry, in no stress of weather, for
no coffin.; rm.sidPrwion, would I consent

ish our presumption in fors 'king the coun
sel of oar fathers.
In the n ‘itt place,' thought it prudent & I
expedient to forbear the exercise of any
doubtful power on the part of Congress.
Our history proves that federal legislation,
indeed ell legislation, to be permanent must
meet with the general and cordial acquies
cence of the people. The idea of forcing'
Maws upon an unwilling constituency was in
my judgment, the height of political in
sanity,
Lastly, gentlemen, I determined that no
influence of men or party should tempt me
to vote for any measure which did not re
ceive the sanctiotrof my judgement.
