JainoK Ii. Orr, SscakeroT We IIou^
of llopresentativQH, unwed >? this ejfy onSaturday
morn in". At an. ^flrls lieur itt
the evening, his friends determined togivo
him a serenade nt half pant ton o'clock,
~ J immediately the necessary orrangemen
Is were made. .Notwithstanding the
inclenienev of the weather, (for it common
feed snowing nn hour before Withers' brass
band startled the guests of Brown's Hotel
from their case and quiet with their really
line music,) a rcspectablo and enthusiastic
assemblage of gentlemen had taken possession
of the pavoment in front of the hotel.
Such a testimonial could not but be gratifying
to Mr. Orr, and we do no more than
express the sentiments of this community.
iii saying that it was well deserved.
After several appropriate pieces had boon
played by the band, loud ami repented Calls
were made fur Mr. Orr. Upon bis appearance
on the balcony, he was greeted with
loud cheers, when iie addressed the eoinp; ny
as follows:
Fellow Citizens : I thank you most cordially
and heartily for this demonstration.
i <i i.:. .l.i.. i r *i._
i u mi? iiiuru uuwiunw ui tin:
inclemency of the evening, and, if proof
were wanting, the evening it.self would furnish
mo with ubuudaut evidence of your
sin?oro regard. 1 hove been a recipient of
many favors from the people of "Washington.
This is the tenth winter of my residence
among you, and perhaps the laftt;
(latul cries of "no!" ''no!") and I feel
uiuug' regrets at the stem fact that wo. are
to part, and that these kindly relations are
soon, to he severed. Sinec 1 lnivo been a
represcrvfciti we, and while filling the important-office
of Spcakorof thopopulur brunch
of the National Legislature, I have striven,
as-you all know, to preserve and to perpetuate
the union of these States. L have
been n party mnn<?devoted to the principles
?f party?but the great object of my
life has always been to defend and advance
the interests of this great commonwealth.
[Chaoiv.l j)uring the ton years 1 have
had the Honor to represent a portion of tho
people of South Carolina, the waves of fai)i)tic-ism
havo rolled with fearful effect
throughout the country, and in this tho cnj?itol
of the nation.
1'ntil tho present tunc they have boon
successfully restated, and I hope there will
niways uc toittia conscrvutwm anil patriotism
enough to.put out the fires ot sectional
strife, audi that concord and harmony
vrill again Ihj restored to the couutry.?
[ liond cheers.] We ought to he one pooplb;
we wove incorporated into an independent
government mirier the anspices of as
pure and patriotic men as ever lived.?
Wise men framed and put the government
into operation, and if their work fail, whoro
are the uicato bo found competent to reara
structure like this gigantic temple, dedicated
to liberty, whioh 1 trust your posterity
ami: mine will ho ivble to defend under
all circumstances. [Rhtliusiastic applause]
The inclemency of the nijrht forbids my
trosp;?t>?in^r longer upon y/mr time. 1 thank
you noartuy iov tins expression ot your kinUi
feelings towards me, and permit nie, in a<U
dressing yc l perhaps for the last time, to.
conclude with n quotation from the great*
Webster: " Liberty and Union, now and!
forever, one and inseparable." [Loud'and
long-continued cheering.]
At the conclusion of Mr. Orr's remarks,
the band again struck up; after which Hon..
\j. .j. rauiKncr, ot n lrginia, and lion, .s .
K. Cox, of Ohio, were called out, and made?
brief and appropriate addressee. The company
then proceeded to tho resilience of
Gon. .Joseph I<nno, of Oregon, for the purpose
of extending the serenade to him,
which was duly acknowledged by that gentleman.?
