BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

REPORTED HY J.VMES E. RILEY.

Jot'RXAI. OITICE, Jan. 17, 185T. The Printers of the Montgomery Journal Office gave a supper to a large number of invited guests, on Saturday evening last. Tho fehtivities of tho evening were commenced by an able speech from lien. .James Wslson, stating the object for which the siipper was intended.

The guests being seated around the well filed table, a prayer was made by T. W. Fnv.—f.fter which, the gay assembly was fea?ting from as well supplied dainties as evcrVbe-decked a "Count's" table.

After tho assembly had lQtir^l from the table, the Hoosier Vocalists enlivened the occasion by singing the song entitled, E riuribus Unum, which was «ndoubtedly Mug better than we ever heard it, and the Vocalists were loudly cheered, and well they deserved the eulogium« heaped upon them, by that merry assembly/ 'j:'"

Toasts being called for, Mr. Joseph A. Ciilkey, gave the following: HKV. FRAKKI.IX—The Philosopher and Statesman—verified by his life the Proverb of Solomon—"see'est thou a man dilifrrnt in calling he will sit before kings and utiind before monarchs."

^1, ia ear authorized agent in that City, to rc-j l)icss pOibt the fingei of scorn, yet its ••'ire all monies on subscriptf&n and advertising power in this world was next to that of Omnipotence. It made and unmade great men at will. Strip these scoffers of the laurels which the press had placed upon their brows, and the greatness with which it had in vested them, arid they would be pigmies indeed. It was the pross which gave wings to thought, general diffusion to intelligence, constructed railroads, and reported a knowledge of all tho groat commercial transactions of the world.

gen-

ins to the proudest station# among the gifted and the great of earth. Franklin whose portrait now hangs lever

upon that Printing Press—Franklin, the honored patriot, statesman, philosopher, the man of letters and of science, whosa likeness not only adorned the parlors and balls of Legislation of the American people—but also graced the palaces of Kings .ad of Princcs, whose daring haud guided l.y. scientific truth had grasped the lightnings of Heaven, confined them in the Loyden jar, and proved their identity with electricity—whose scientific investigations had succeed in developments which enabled a Morse to transmit thought from city to city and from continent to continent w»*-h the speed of lightning. Thus, one of our illustrious patriot Fathers—endowed by the Croalor with transcendent abilities,! and strengthened by long and arduous!

had thrown himself—his all, in the

darkest hours of the Revolution, on the side of "Free speech, Free press and Free 5Iwn—every pulsation of his noblo heart beat strong for Freedom, and the most

longings of his noble soul were in sympathy with every enterprise for the elevation of depressed humanity. Dr. Fry naid, that he

felt

on to

honored in being' called

speak of those illustrious patriots, whoso privations, struggles and trials had *ccured for us the establishment of civil and religious liberty.

The Dr. *aid, when walking leizurely along one of the streets of that beautiful city, Philadelphia, admiring the magnificent structures with which it is adorned— a stranger on whose brow was stamped the impress of dignity, and in whose eye beamed the light of genius,, stopped him, and pointing to a spot on the opposite side of the wall of ft cemetry,. remarked "There is the gfaTie pf JVanklin and his wife, upon the marble slab which covers the remains of tlwdead is the simple inscription:

BJB N FRANK LIN T'-XJ T, ii-AND} L'H -ii'X "TIL

DEBORAH, HIS, WIFE,.

The Dr., said the stranger passed on and he paqsetl for a moment near, and around the same place, vrhere r^posed the ashes of hitn^whose memory wijl erer live fresh ia

the Jpreat heart dt the American people, as Wngras that heart shallbeat foe- tho civil and religions freedom of Man. The Dr. felt a glow of natural pride in contemplating the monument which marked the memorable battle-field of Bunker IlilL he felt proud|that the Washington Monument was gradually rising in ill its grand collosr s»t'proportions after generations, when gazing upon those testimonials of gratitntle to the il luetrious dead, would drink in ^.hallowed inspiration, and strive to perpetuate, pure, unstained und unsullied, the institutions secured from the hands of their fathers. We yet hoped to see the day ulien the American people would erect a niSVni^ierit to the memory of "Franklin, which, rising into the upper heavens, wo'd (catch the first rays of the morning light, (and on whose summit would linger and play the last rays of the setting sun.

He alluded briefly to the mighty power of the press in the present age. Some

In conclusion, the Dr. alluded to the importance of sustaining the county press.— The county presses have generally to struggle through many and great difficulties, while the people were sending to cities for journals that could live and flourish without them, In sustaining the poor country boy, who struggled for a mere subsistence—some mighty genins might be encouraged and developed, whose enwrapt spirit like that of Fniu klin—rising above the clouds and darkness of earth—would gather inspiration from the upper skies with whivh to enlighten the minds of men.

This is but a brief synopsis of the Doctor's remarks. After the eloquent response of T. \V. Fry, the Hoosier Vocalists wero loudly called for, and sang one of their finest pieces, entitled The Raven, which was received with rapturous applause.

TOAST—By C. M. Robinson: DKMNQUEKT SUBSCRIBERS—May they neither eat nor sleep until the printer is paid the last "red" due him.

And lastly, "may the forked lightning of Heaven strike" and precipitate them'"eend o.ver eend," and plunge them headlong into a bed of prickly pears— through a ten mile briar-patch, a thorn or-

chard and finally, may this be caught up by the most destructive tornado ever wituess-

The Hoosier Vocalists were again requested to favor the company with a song—tho request being granted,, they, sang tho following song:—

The above toast was responded to by Prof. Ii. Malchoir Do La Salle, and waB as follows:—

FRANCE 1 That single word exercises a magical power on the mind of every one who is free from sectarianism. It is especially so with the American and Frenchman. There is among those two races, a tie of natural sympathy, which cannot be shaken off, by any means.

In all the American books, magazines, and newspapers, the name of Lafayette is written in full. In Franca we read the name of Benjamin Franklin, everywhere in the Academy of Sciences in the Academy of Medicine, kc. That name is read wherever there is that of a benefactor of humankind. Most of our children learn to read in some of th« books written by Franklin The philosophy of that uni yersal rtepect for Benjamin Franklin in France, and of Lafayette in the United

is.plain enough. Those Xvto men

wore tho living Idea of France, and of the United States.

UNIVERSAL LIEEKTY!

idea had long animated men of no less merit and energy, bet none had been able to transforpi that?idea into a political and civil body. The idea of Despotism was the only prevailing one, before th'dl£ two men. When despots and their agents had the exclusive means of communicating with each other^ though at distance one from tho other, what was seen then in Prance Torture and Priests But after thi, printing types jverfl' receiveil7 by the people of France, where were the nobles, who ordered the torture? Where were the priests who preached that that was very right in the sight of God and of tho king? Voltaire writes Priests and kings trembleW FrahJcV.n speaks, the people rise to arms and God blesses (he people!!! Which was the cause of the establishment of that sanguinary tribunal, which the fool call the Holy Inquisition? Is it not to prevent peoplo from writing, printing, publishing and reading? When the monopolist could not prevent any of those means of communicating with each other, they endeavored to prevent the understanding. It is much already td tvrite and to read, but it is fruitless if not followed or *"'0-'ceded ^y understanding. But the press has its ways arid means, as well as the monopolist in sectarian schools and Colleges, they may give to the student more work than he can rea-

sonably do. That will cause him to act as a perfect machine he will do much, lift will not understand anything So he will not have time to read any literary production of France. But the Charirare or any other punch will lithograph some of his personages, in a way to convey the idea of the wrriter, as well as a volume of theology, which are generally large enough.— Songs, hymns, music, Theatre, all those means of imparting an idea are due to the press. The soul of the press is the idea of universal liberty. Who can pnsvent an idea to reach its destination? Who can say to the press, "thou shalt not print this?" My friend Napoleon tries to do it. But what is the result of it? He is hated by his own subjects, and does not prevent them from reading and understanding the productions of foreign presses. What is not printed in France, is printed in Belgium, in the United States, or somewhere else.

The sympathy of the French for the American, and of the American for the French, is not only evident to all who are not blinded by sectarianism, but it is everlasting, because it is based on the real merit of each uation, respectively. In France we hate instinctively the British, because they are savage, cruel brutes everywhere. We make a reservation for the masses of british people, whose feelings are always noble and generous. But her treacherous government,her perfidious Queen, her cowardly uavy, her murderous soldiery are lor the French people but a subject of contempt, until the time has come to put an end to their crimes and depredations. La Fayette hail the merit of commanding the French troops against the British and the Dutch!

There is a man whose memory is equally dear to us. That man is Lamartim.— The history of this age will judge him as it will please. But no writer shall dare

When Louis XIV evoked the edict of Nantes, did he prevent the Huguenots to leave France and to carry with them their Industry? Did he prevent the armies of William III to be composed of French exiles and to be led by them to a complete victory? Some sectarian writers, like Macauley, may abstain from mentioning the names of Prince Eugene, of Marechal Turepne, of Luxemberg, Villard, and others, all Huguenots, who aimed but as the common enemy of all nations that was Louis XIV. But the press of other nations will do justice to all the friends of the United States.

the press. We find ourselves indebted ^ai" ly more and more to it. 1 here is no other principle of government under that power but morals and justice to all.

The applause following this discourse, proved enough that tho Bpeaker had spoken for France, and for her friendB, the United States.
