For these, the charge will-bo 15 dollars per session ol live

which are essential to a well balanced female character.’

that a degree in the University, it not granted in conse

an intimate acquaintance with all the elementaly, and
most ol the higher branches of pure Mathematics. I

ly convened to confer upon you die free,tom of the city,
III lutlilinenl ol a rcaoluii n which w is |.,»>,ed on the 2d.I
d.iy ol March, 1829. It is designed as ‘ a (esliinoiii.il ol
(lie respect and esteem w hich Hie people o| the city ol
New- Y< rk, entertain l.»r your piivate worih and public
services. ’ In embracing the liist occasion which has \

Permit mo. Sir, lo add, that llic duty assigned to me on
this occasion is pci formed with mingled feelings of pride
and pleasure—while we admit you lo the prii ileges of a
freeman of onr city, w e exult hi Ihe rcllectioii th.it this
mark of our resjiect is bestowed upon a native oilizen of
stir own State, it is not elicited by a single brilliant ex
ploit, nor is it founded upon i lie fame of distant services. It
soneol the re wards ol a life of continued virtue and use
fulness, most of w I licit lias hecn passed withinour immedi
ate view, and in the henrlits of w Inch we have largely p.ir
icipated. The eyes of many of those wlmm we re|iresent
liave been upon you from your youth up—they have been
mxious and attentive observers ol your progress from the
L'arliest developeinent of those talents which they now
behold in full and rich expansion. In the councils of the
state and of the nation, at home and abroad, you have dis
tinguished yourselt in all the numerous offices which you
have been called upon to till. The faithful and honest dis
charge of your public duties lias not secured you fiom op
poMMon anil detraction. You have had to encounter llic 1
persecution ofEnemies and the treachery of friends; hut
your uprightness, your wisdom and courage, have borne |
you in triumph through every conflict. The same power
ful intellect, untiring industry, and devoted patriotism,
have characterised you in every situation ; coti-tiiuiing .it
once your glory and your strength. During the whole ol
your career, diversified as it has been, not a single event
has occurred lodim for or..' moment, the lustre of a repu
tation, which has been constantly increasing in brightness
from the earliest period of your political life to the present
hour.
In tendering you Ihe freedom of the city, as sonic proof
of the sentiments which are excited in the breasts of your
fellow-citizens by a retrospect of your past character and
.services, allow me to accompany it with the expression of
a fervent hope that your future life may be a< prosperous
as that which is already spent,and that the talents and vir
tues which w e now admire may long continue to distin
guish yourself and benefit the community.
Loud and continued applause followed the expression of
the sentiments contained in this address. Mr. Van Hu
ron, w(to stood between Mr. Rives and Mr. Cambrelcng,
replied as follows :—
Mr. M avoh—Accept, Sir, for yourself, your Associates
in Council, and your constituents, my sincere thanks lor
the honor you are about to confer upon me, and which you
have the goodness to sny, is designed as a “ tribute of the
respect and esteem which the people of tlie city of New
York entertain for my private worth and public services.”
If any thing could increase the gratification I derive from
a compliment so truly flattering, it would he found in the
motives which have been assigned for it, and in the kind
manner in which you have stated them. I am compelled,
however, by sincerity, to declare to you, that this gratifi
cation is mingled with no small degree of pain, resulting
from a conscious inability to make a suitable return for so
much kindness. I can only tender to you my simple hut
sincere assurances, that the very favorable opinion which
for yourself and your associates you have been pleased to
express of my conduct and character, has sunk deep into
my heart, where it will he gratefully recollected, together
with the various other manifestations ol friendship I have
heretofore, and am daily receiving from my fellow-citizens
of New York.
Surh a token of regard ami approbation, received from
any portion of our community', might well have excited
strong emotion* of gratitude; hut it comes to inn with the
highest claims upon this sentiment, when I consider it asa
spontaneous gift from the City of %\ew York. This city,
sir, already sn great and nourishing, is a source ol just
pride, not only to the State but to the Union, and is on eve
ry account well entitled to the favorable consideration ol
both; and permit me, injustice to myself, to add, that the
time lias never hern, when any measure that was calcu
lated to promote its prosperity did not receive all the aid
which it was in my power to render. And you may rr«t
assured, sir, that my efforts in its behalf, now that I am
about to he invested with the immunities and honor* ol a
freeman ol your city, will not he relaxed.
Tho occa ion will not allow ihe to refer lotlio elements
of your prosperity, to speak ol tin’ results they have :il
reatly produced, nor the still higher destinies to which
llioy tend. I cannot however, refrain from bringing to your
notice a ulngln point- - the importance ol continuing to culti
vate the moat liheral ami friendly re la I ions between your
' city ami other parts of the State. 1 he experience ol the
world has shown thatjealousiesand prejudice* usually exi*f
between Ihe inhabitant* ol large cities ami I hoar ol the coun

these interest*, haa been regarded as almost the nece-sary
consequence of the establishment of large town*. ^V ith

may induce the best ol me n, in such moments, not only
to neglect their public duties, hut to he less scrupulous
in the use ol means than in their cooler moments they
would wish to have been. Hut now, when the contest is

wo ar« all embarked in tbe same bottom, and have the

us, I am sure there exists a right spirit among us. I will

may Have differed, or may continue to differ, upon other
mints, wo tliall all concur in a sincere and anxious wish
o see the means ol this great state directed in a manner
