William Sullivan, Jaroh Vandegrift, David Keynolds, Jo?Cjdi I.Stretchrr, Nathaniel West, L L. .M'Farland, Thu. Jihn n, Powell Ilowland, George Aton, Jacb Springer, J. II. Hopkins and others, as Assiä'.ant Marsthalrf, formed the large procession, and proceeded tu the Palmer II ese, where a lare body of the rctunied vtiluntecrs, corsisting rjf several hundreds, w -re forii'ed into line, under the command of Captair.3 MePougall and Lander, as Assistant Marshals. These b'avc men, Ihn headed the procession, and the whole body proceed. d to the grove. The ladies and volunteers ere then seated, and the immense thron present, covering1 several nrres in solid ma?s, was rdd reused by tin Hon. Kmvakp A. Ha.nnf.gan, as follows: Volunteer$: The committee of arrangements have assigned me the pleasing task of tendering to you, on behalf of the people of Indiana, ths assurance of their high and grateful appreciation of your services in the recent war with Mexico; services which, whilst they have won for you high distinction as soldiers, have added new lustre to the character of our State. You have met glad looks iti every eye and a warm pressure from every hand where all are outstretched. It is needless for me to advert to the causes which led to your country's call for the aid of her volunteer troops. That call was twice made upon Indiana during the war to repel and chastise a ruthless enemy wantonly invading our territory, and whose merciless hand aimed the bolts of death at every age and condition and sex. Each call was instantly met. You stepped without hesitation into the ranks, and together enrolled your names with all the alacrity of patriotism for the hardships of the soldier's life, and the privations, perils, and diseases incident to an uuaccustomed and pestilential climate. tude of y01ir action and the dcte buch was the promptirmiuatiou of your pur pose that on each occasion you were amongst the foremost to reach the scene of sen-ice and of danger. I Will not dwell upon the hard trial which awaited the first campaign, when your ardor was smothered by the restraint which held you in fast inaction as others inarched by on the road to battle at Monterey. The time for some of you came at last. The welcome hour was reached on the field of Buena Vista, where the deeds of your valor when inscribed by the pen of impartial truth, shall find and fill a page immortal on the roll of history. It is enough that an impartial world has reversed the charge that would have blackened the blood bought fame of the second regiment; and let me say to the survivors of that gallant body here anil evry where, your own State cherishes your fame in common with the glory won by each and every regiment and company that bore her standard up from first to last. Here Mr. llannegan introduced the flag of the second Indiana regiment, which had been procured from the archives of the State, where it is deposited. This produced a sensation almost indescribable. Many of the audience wept like chilhren, and a simultaneous shout went up to heaven. Here is your flag. It bears its own silent but expressive testimony that your colors were not abandoned. Here, as I unfurl it, Indianians, see the witnesses speaking out all over it that the valor of its defenders was worthy of the gilt wrought and presented by the fair bauds of New Aloany. look ai ii an over; me cenire lorn away ny a cannon ball : look above, and see almost every bright star that blazes from its azure field defaced by the tire of musquetry.

Doubly would this day's festivities have len enhanced an honored guest Ilantry, th chivalry, tl e r,.pUhl,c. The name of William O. Uutler risesabove ail ordinary eulogy. It is at onee associated in the mind with all that is gifted and generous and heroic in man. Lik a spell it recalls the memory of by-gone times, when th,. i,0.. volunteer stood unterrifi.-d upon the bloodv snows of Uaisin, or dashed impetuously by the side of Andrew Jackson over tho embattled plain of New Orh-ans. No living man ever found a more.' general and heartfelt welcoirit than that which would have irreeted him here. As I look around I am reminded that there is ono place . ..iir i ii vacant amongst you, the place ol one whose name will be forever dear to everv true Mn of Indiana. And yet I c i . i f.i J . c.are answer for it, be to whom I allude has been present j to every mind more than once to-day. Who has not miss-d from then' ranks th manlv form that rode fore most on the field of Huena Vista, with a handful of his brave men holding at bay more than twenty times his own numbers whoe steady and determined order was stilladvance! and who, before the walls and in the streets of Iluamantla, gave the Lust blow to Mexican resistance? Who is h.-re here, that has not missed the presence of Joseph Lane, the horn soldier and the self-made hero? ('ailed by public duty to distant enterprises, he cannot b lu re in person, but his innermost heart, all the musings of his mind have placed him in your midst to-day, companions as you were of his toils and his glory. There are some among you who wear not on your brows the glories of the battle wreath. Restrained by the stern force of martial authority, vou charged not with the. ser ried raiiKs of the iron-bound infantry, you mingled -.1.1 . . '..II. 11.' with tlio impetuous column, as it dashed through tire and blood to triiiii.pl) and to victory. You heard not the glad notes of tho bugle, mid the long rwll of tho drum, when your country's banner first streamed from the towers and palaces of conquered cities; you joined not your shouts with the victors on the gory field, as the lat shadows ef the retreating enemy wer last amid ths vi.-tas of the arid wilderness. All thü, the light, tho joy cf the soldier's life, ' fc pride, jump and circumstance of glorious war,' was de.iitd you. Hut you have wen honor not lets, glory as substantial. You went among the foremost at your Country's call, when her borders were infested by a fcrcigu enemy. Yoa shopped not to question her cause; you did as patriots ever have, as patriots ever will, as patriots ever should do, you he'urd her call and you obeyed her summons. The love of honorable glory led you forward to sustain her honor and to vindicata her cause uph-ld by justice anJ tpproven by ILaven. You were' eager we knew it; your hearts turned to ei:gage hand to hand with the enemy. We fc't all your impatience, and now tint jJl is over, we say proudly that you discharged well tho e tidier hardest duty, that duty which keeps hiia in garrison or guarding a line for the safety tf the army advancing to meet an enemy. Thin hard trial was youis, and the manner ir which it wa3 dicliaiged won praiocj from tho.e who prontcd by and could he-1 appreciate it. In its performance you had year privations, deep and bitter. Vours was the toilsome unchanging round by day, the came ceaselet and weary watch by night. The uuwhole some and putrid meat, the worse than putrid bread, mado

too often your only provision. And worse than all, pestilence, and death were with yen. Through long and Weary days and dreary night.-?, many of you stretched your fevered limbs on the rude hard ground, cr watched by tlieside of some dying eomrade to soothe his agony and bear from his faltering lips the last fond messages of love,

and the simple tokens of his dying remembrance, to the mother and the dear friends here in his far distant home, whom he shall never, never see ugain until the night of his Y a(1 forgotten grave shall I dispelled by the light of the resurrection. Yes, you saw them die, far, far away from home, kindred, countrv: you held their hands until they stiffened, you felt the Inst throb of those young, brave hearts, who left their homes all g!a;!ness and buoyancy, scarcely brushing oil' a tear, 6 bright seemeJ trie soldier's lifo, so glorious the errand on which they sped away. The dtud the dead ad the deal, those who sunk i beneath the cruel hand of disease and those whoso spirits passed away amid lue storm of battle. Alas! alas! why grieve for them, they died in their country's service in their line of duty, at the post of honor, and their death embalms their memory. Honor to that memory, peace, to their everlasting spirits in the laud of the happy amid the unfading shades of Paradise. Soldiers: In the name of Indiana, in the name and on behalf of her people I bid you welcome here to-day, thrice welcome now and hereafter to the hospitalities of her firesides and her homes. At the conclusion of Mr. HanneganVs address, Lieut. Co!. May, in an animated address responded, on the part of the volunteer. We regret that we are unable to give his ren.arksat length, h is but justice to fay, fiat he more than realized the high expectations, which his increising fame as a public speaker have created in the public mind, and having had but a few mo n-nta' prepar itio i. The following letters were then read, amid the plaudits of the audience : Cariioi.toi Kt., Oct. 1, 1848. Siu : 1 hftve the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your invitation, n chairman of the committee of arrangemeots, to attend a Democratic Festival at Indianapolis on the 4th instant ; in honor of General Joseph Lane, and the officers and soldier of Indiana, who pailicipated in the Mexican vnr. I regret to say to you, in reply, that it will not be in r.iv power to be present on s interesting an occasion. Iua cepiinj my nomination, as the Democratic candate for the office of Vir President, I announced to my friends, that it was my intention to remain at home, and take no part in the canvass. In pursuance of this intention, I have thus far declined all invitations to attend political meetings. This, I trust, will be a sufficient apology to my friends of Indianapolis (or declining theirs. The Indiana volunteers formed part of my Division, both on the Hio (Irande, and Vera Cruz Lines; and although it was not my fortune to lend them in battle, yet their high discipline, and soldierly conduct, were to me, the surest guarantees that they would not be wanting in the hour of trial. Of their brave commander, fleneral Lane, It would be Miperfhmus for me to speak. He has won f r himself a reputation in arms, lo which no commendation of mine can add. I, however, venture to predict, that in the new position in which he has been placed by the government, ! lie will win new ami lusting honor. Permit me, in conclusion, to thank you fir your very kind, and complimentary leller, and to tender, through ; you, my thanks to the Demncrm-y of Indianapolis, for the invitation, with which I have been honored.

'shall have abundance tl testimony, t prove that I have always opposed their candidate. Although I have for tune time been separated from the Stale id" my adoption, my feelings are not ihe less alive to her prosperity, her honor and her glory. You may imagine, hut I cannot describe, the withering eflect upon my feelings when in this city auii J the reioicirigs of our victorvupon the bat- , r , . t. v . i . ii .i ii t rt field at Buena V ista, I was told ihat the Indianians had ingloriously fled. Major (leneral Butler, our distin guished candidate for Yice President, was in the city. I immediately called upon him who informed me that he had heard (he same rumor, but with indignant feelings he Eaid,"I know ihere is some mistake about this matter, for there are not three better regiments in the army than the three from Indiana." I endeavored to find Mr. Crittenden, son of the present Governor of Kentucky and aid to (Jen. Taylor, who had brought the intelligence, that Indiana was disgraced, to the city; but he had left for Kentucky. I then set down with the lights before me and wrote a d 'fence, of our volunteers, which was published in the Union. Subsequent investigation proved that my opinion were correct. But I have extended this letter too far alteady, and in conclusion permit me to Fay that the political skic arn bright. I have intelligence from every State in the Union, and can assure my old democn tic friends with whom I have so often fought side by side, that Democracy will again triumph, and Caga aud Butler be elected. 1 am with high consideration vour ob't gprv't, V.

I)En Sir: I have barely time before closing the mail to ray that I had fully intended tobe present at the meeting of the 4th inst., at Indianapolis, in honor of the volunteers, and that I had for that purpose hurried imperfectly through the necessary business in Ohio which caused me to leave home, and had got thus far on Friday evening last, on my return, when I had a sudden attack of pickness, which in the opinion of my physician, abso lutely forbid my proceeding further, but at trie peril of my life, and which has ever since confined me here to my bed. Thin is tome a great disappointment, but I am consoled j by the reflection, that it will l e limited to myself, as there will doubtless be no lack of eloquent aud instructive speakers present to nddn cs the people. I arn so fir recovered that I expect to be at home in 4 dav'9 at fartht. t am happy to say that wherever I have been the prospect for the election of Caes and Butler is bright and cheering.

In converging with this gallant officer, who rallied and commanded the 2d Itidiana regiment at Huena Vista, after Bowles's order to " retreat scattered the men over the plateau, we were forcibly struck with the fact that an important omission was too frequently made by those who attempt to describe the battle.
