The Hon. Nathan Willis presided. The Rev. John Leland was also present, and deI . . 1 i I. "II ill livered the following Address: (From the Pittsfield Sun.) The Rev. John Leland being called on by the President for a sentiment, remarked as follows. This evening commemorates one of the most important events to be found in American history. The battle of - - - - New. Orleans, commanded by Andrew Jackson against the Biitish forces, will be remembered and admired as long as military skill, bravery, and patriotism, have harmonious sounds. This triumphant victory raised the commander high in the esteem and affections of the nation, and brought him forward to the chief magistracy of the United States. On his promotion, many of his warm hearted friends feared that his surprising talents were merely military, and that he would be deficient in the cabinet. But his first message to the 21st congress turned their fears into admiration. They now find him as profound in civil as ha was

in military office, and greet him at the head of the nation as they did before at the head of the army. No subject has arisen, 6ince he became President, but what he hag been able to digest; and leave a conviction in the minds of others, that his source of action is not exhausted. A chaplain of the southern army gave the following character of Gen. Jackson: "He eita down and forma his own plan: then rises and executes it.' Prudence and despatch are visible ia all his undertakings. How unlike tho Emperor Ileliogabulus, who neglected the duties ofhia throne, end spent his time in catching fiies and collecting cobwebi fcr public show. When I

I read hia late message, among other 1 beauties, the clause which recommend oof mniiL fr .hnn ifh . culiar lustre. It reminds me of what king, who kept neither gold, pearls nor i cm v line ui Udiiiciiis tu tiis uuaui uus visited by a crowned, headed brother, who wallowedin splendorat home. On Ihe desire ol the visiter to see the royal treuarei ol the lrag.il king, he I was conducted into the treasury apartment, where little was to be seen but naked walls. Struck with astonishment, he exclaimed, "How can you support your dignity give royal bounles and maintain your army?" To which the other king replied, "Tarry with me three days, and you shall see." n the mean time the frugal king sent Iu: l . l . .1 llieir oounues wnitu was uoua wnn all sneed. and consisted of erold. nearh. embroiderv. and all kinds of riches; at sight of which the visiting king was asI tnnicll iloro l::ira th fniaal L'infTl is mv treasure, denosited in the hands of those who earned it. and always at I mv command when the pood of the neoI nle reouires it." This seems to be the nolicv of President Jackson: and is it possible there can be an American heart that does not respond to the sentimeut? It was but a partial reform whenEngland protested against the encroachment I f tm Tt pro fn r r,ro nnnr.nf.rmKt, v. 1 mm establishment; some of whom crossed the Atlantic and settled in New-Ene-a rv fh nil ll loir UIJU .

Jackson certainly is the President of the people; for more than two-thirds of the people gave him their votes; and he has been, and still is, doing the rery rvorks that he was chosen for. When Mr. Jefferson was minister to France, he wrote a friend in the United States, that it was necessary that there shoulrt be in every government periodically a revolution and civil war, to purge the government of oppressive laws and usages, and cast otf the drones that sucked all and gathered none cf thehoney. This he said before he had tasted the force of free suffrage. Now it 13 seen that little bits of paper willelTect hat which has heretofore been gained hy sword, cannon, and streams of blootf. Jackson is now the agent in the haudi of the people to execute the purgation.
