Tile Presentation of the Sword to Gen. s Taylor by the Governor. e The presentatiau of the Sword voted to Gen. \ Taylor, by the Legislature of Louisiana, took ' place yesterday, and a most imposing and touch- ' ing ceremony it was. {(constituted an appropri- • ate and beautiful tiuale to the manifestation with j which New Orleans and Louisiana have greet- < ed the veteran Hero and Patriot. ] About tw’elve o’clock, Maj. Gen. Lewds, < Gens. Lacoste and Augustin, Adj. Gen. Row- ■ ley, Col. Oakey, of the courteous 42d, with ’ their respective aids, and a deputation from the V olunteer Companies, consisting of Col. Walton, iu the gorgeous uniform of the Cres- ’ cent Hussars, and ol nearly nil the commission ed officers ol the Legion, all in lull uniform, marched to the Stale house, preceded by Leh mann s tine Band. Here they were met by his Excellency, Governor Johnson, and his Staff, consisting of Cols. Palfrey, Winthrop and Stewart, and a civic procession, composed first, of a numerous representation of that “shattered hand 01 relics of the glory of 1814,” as the Governor eloquently referred to them— and next ol the officers of the State Govern ment, including the Treasurer, Gen Walker; Hon. Charles Gayarre, Secretary of State ; several ol the Judges, and other dignitaries.— Ihe procession was formed under the direc tion ol Col. H. W. Palfrey, who evinced ex cellent taste and judgement in all his arrange ments. J irst came the V eterans, preceded by •the band, and followed by the Governor, Maj. Gen. Lewis, and the other officers; then came the various State officers, and, lastly many citi zens, who wished to witness the ceremony, fell into the ranks, and extended the line, of i the procession to a consiJerublo longui. Arrived at the St. Charles Hotel, the proces sion was halted ior afew moments in the por tico ; alter which it marched into the gentle man's parlor, to the music ofa lively air. Here Gen. laylor and his staff, supported by his Honor the Mayor, and by Recorder Baldwin with a number of officers ofour army', and ma ny citizens, were drawn up in aline in the cen tre of the parlor. The procession filed off’ a round the room and forming a circle, the Gov ernor advanced into the centre, and saluting Gen Taylor, addressed him in the following truely eloquent and impressive speech, which we have taken great pains to report as literal ly as follows—a task of some difficulty, as his Excellency always makes extemporaneous speeches, and it is no easy matter to keep up with the rapid and fervid flow of feeling and ideas, which characterizes the Governor s pub lic speeches; General—\ our life has been faithfully devoted to your country. VV ere Ito attempt to recite all the deeds which have endeared you to your fiellow-citi zens, and conferred immortality and renown on your name, 1 should do violence to that modesty which is no less than valor n brilliant feature in your character. But I cannot, iu the discharge of the duty imposed upon me by the Legislature, forego a few brief allu sions to some of the interesting incidents which crowd your history. At an early age. General, amidst the gloomy solitudes of the Far West, and against the wily savages of our forests, you received your first lessons in the profession upon which you have since reflected so much lustre. Under these trying circum stances of frontier warfare, you first began to attract the approving smiles of your countrymen. The ex citing drama of Port Harrison, revealed those rare traits of military character—that courage and fervid patriotism, which in lime, under more genial influ ence, and on a more extended scene of action, have united in forming, in beautiful harmony, the model of a great Captain. Years rolled on. The soldiers of our country re posed on their arms. The rainbow of Peace encircled our Union. Like others of our brave soldiers, you, General, had but <ew occasions to display the milita ry virtues of which you had given such brilliant illus tration at Port Harrison. You had arrived at the full maturity of years, when a sagacious Govern ment, remembering the valor and skill of your youth ful deeds, selected you as the proper leader of our troops, in the uncertain and vexatious war against the savage denizens of the hammocks of Florida. Your brave and skilful conduct at O-ke-cho-bee, redeem ed the honor of our arms, and obliterated the memory of previous misfortunes . The vicissitudes and trying scenes of Indian warfare did not fail distinctly and clearly to mark your character as a military man, and to pave your way for still higher distinctions, on a more suitable theatre of action. The treasures ot your gi eat military experience and valor were not destined to rust in useless and inglorious inactivity. Occasions for their full exercise and developernent could not long be delayed. When Texas rose and asserted her liberties, we the brethren of the people of that noble little State could not remain idle or indif ferent. We freely gave our sympathies and prayers to the cause of our stray countrymen, who thus bold ly proclaimed American Independence in a foreign land. And when site achieved her freedom, and ask ed to add her own brilliant star to the galaxy of our Union, we could not ultimately resist the prompting of nature, and reject our .returning relative. Thus the jealousy of our so called sister Republic was aroused. The lone star vvheeld into position, and mingled her brightness with the blaze of cur Federal Constellation. Then the speck of war began io be visible in the distance, and growing darker and big ger so »n settled with a lowering aspect upon tiie . nf '‘»Y*url V nemilfprrjlorir Some regard ea it as merely a momentary mirage — a mere vapor which would soon pass away. Others ; viewed it as a veritable sign of approaching hostilities. ! And this belief, growing info apprehension, impressed our Government with a sense of its duty to anticipate | any invasion of our territory or any indignity to our j national character. A new and bright prospect was opened to the military ambition of the country. Hence the organizat ion of that noble band of heroes, the Ar my of Occupation. For its command, General, the fame of your former exploits had designated you. In the duties of that command you visited our city two years and a half ago, and well do I remember the friendly greeting and good wishes we then exchanged in the portico of this edifice. You then passed through j our city, and departed for the distant scene of your duties with the unequalled, but subdued esteem of ! your fellow-citizens for your unpretending modesty, manly virtues, and soldierly qualities. The striking contrast of your reception yesterday told a tale of ; glory and great deeds, more eloquently than tongue can tell or pen describe. In the public and enthusi : astic manifestation of yesterday, all classes of our peo j pie participated. The ladies, God bless them ! those ; ministering angels, so quick to discover and so eager to reward deeds of noble daring, who, in every age and clime, have never failed to honor merit and virtue with their approving smiles, strewed your path yes terday with garlands and showered upon your venera ble head the fragant tokens of their admiration. The multitudinous sea of heads which greeted your com ing and encircled your progress, was moved and toss ed to and fro by emotions too deep for utterance. But, returning from this digression, General, as tho Commander of the Army of Occupations, you step ped on a more expanded theatre of operations, invol | ving responsibilities of a more serious nature —invol- I ving th« vast issues of war and peace. General, in ; this difficult trust ycu proved equal to the exigences of every occasion. The sequel of your efforts fully jus tified the confidence of the Government and the ex pectations of your fellow-citizens. From the moment you took the command of the army, the public eye was fixed upon your movements with a daily increas ing interest. But few of our people then anticipated an open rupture, and but few were prepared for tiie j bold demonstrations by which Mexico brought on the conflict. And when the alarming news reached us, the startling intelligence represented your little army, General, as entirely surrounded and at the mercy of a proud and vindictive foe; that the line of communi cation with your depot of supplies was broken up, and the whole country swiinued with well-armed amt d<.- lyingtroops of the hostile Republic. When tbs in telligence reached us, it fell upon our city and coun try like a great public calamity, humbled our nation al pride, and elevated our ideas of the character and prowess of our enemy. But one sentiment pervaded our whole community; it was, to organize a force to send to the relief of our emperilled army. You call ed on me as the Governor of this State, for four regi ments of volunteers. I called upon the people, and immediately there was a general rush of all classes of our citizens to arms. The Legislature of our State rushed inta their Halls, to act, and not to speak ; and in a shorter time than 1 have to relate the fact, they had voted three hundred thousand dollars out of the State’s treasury loequipand organize these regiments. Instead of four, we were able, —so great was the ar dor ot the people, —to send you six regiments ! This successful appeal to the people, had the etfect of lend ing a quickening impulse to the action of the General Government, and of kindling an enthusiasm among the people, which, in so short a time, has organized a great army. At that dark and aiarming period we had not the epic incident of Buena Vista to tell us that General Taylor never surrendered. The only hope which sus tained us rested on the opportune arrival of tlie regi ments sent from this city. It was believed that our .roops would have to fight their way ns soon as they landed on the shore. But, alas! the brave Louisian ians did not arrive in time to win those laurels for which they so ardently panted. The painful suspense and anxiety which held our people spell-bound, for some days, was at last relieved and dissipated. The sounds of victory came booming on the breeze, anti shot in electric joy through the national heart. —- Your name, then, General, became associated with deeds of immortal renown—deeds that elevated the character of our nation, and added new and brilliant pages to the records of our glory. it was in memorial of these great deeds that it was deemed fit and proper that the Legislature of the State <f your adoption should manifest its appreciation of your virtues by some appropriate acknowledgments. Their congratulatory resolutions 1 have already had the honor to communicate to you. And, now that you have returned to the bosom of your home, in respite from your trying toils —now that you are enjoying oi.iU receiving' the applause of a people by whom you are loved and admired— l am afforded an opportunity of carrying out more fully the wishes of the Legisla ture, by presenting you with this Swjrd, as a small token of the high sense entertained by the Represenr tatives of the People of Louisiana of your military a.p4 civic virtues. It is not appropriate that 1 should attempt, on this occasion, to extend and complete the history of your services, as illustrated at the bloody storming of Mon terey, or on the craggy heights and ravines of Buena Vista —as on a future occasion it will be my pleasing duty, in obedience to the instructions of the Legisla ture, to refer more particularly to these great ex ploits. In presenting this memorial of the respect and ad miration of the Legislature of Louisiana, I feel, Gen eral, an over whelming sense of tlie deficiency of lan guage appropriate to such an occasion. You know too well, General, how and when to use the sword, and well assured am I, that you will not fail to ap preciate such a token and compliment from those who claim you as their honored fellow-citizen. 1 there fore, in the presence of that shattered band of the re lics of 1814, who have honored this occasion with their presence—in the presence of this large company of civil and military witnesses —I tender you this sword, in the name of the Representatives and people of Louisiana ; and may that Providence, which has hith erto watched over and protected you from so many perils, and enabled you by its smiles and favor to achieve so much honor and glory for our common country, still continue its vigilance, and vouchsafe to von every blessing essential to your happiness. This beautiful speech of his Excellency was frequently interrupted by the loud and invol untary applause of the persons present. Its delivery was highly impressive and effective. The fine person, manly and benignant coun tenance, easy and warm address of his Excel lency, together with his splendid uniform, ad ded greatly to the effect of this address. Du ring the delivery the old General seemed deeply affected, and gave expression to the intensity of bis emotion by the heaving of his chest and the quivering of his lip. He replied, that he felt so deeply this manifestation of the respect and admiration of the Legislature of the Stale in which be had so long resided, and was so deeply impressed by the eloquent compliments of the Governor, that he felt an embarrassment which rendered him almost speechless. Had he the taleut and command of beautiful lan guage and eloquent thoughts of his friend, he might be able to express what he really and profoundly felt —the warmest gratitude of the representatives and people of Louisiana, for this testimony of their good feeling. Forty years spent almost exclusively in the camp, had disqualified him for the task of the orator ; he would therefore content himself by handing a written address, in response to the speech of his Excellency. He would, however, beg tp add a few words on a subject which had been referred to by the Governor: he alluded to the large and splendid corps of volunteers that had so promptly rushed to his aid, when it was be lieved that he was in great peril on the Rio Grande. He had always felt deeply grauful for this timely reinforcement, and it was one of the most painful events of the campaign that he was compelled, from a fear that they would suffer by the disease incident to camp life, and from his inability to lead them into immediate action, to consent to their return to their homes and families. The following is the written reply of Gener al Taylor: ,Governor —In accepting the magnificent sword of 1 tovuvft n ffc Ittxcf p/va the State of LoulslsnSj through her representatives, to confer upon me, 1 am sensible that no form of words can give adequate ex pression to my feelings. To receive from any quarter a testimonial conveying such high appreciation ofser vices rendered, would be a reward enough for the high est ambition—but there are circumstances which give this peculiar value. The name of Louisiana is iden tified with the signal victory which crowned our arms at the close of the war of 1812: it again appears in bright relief in the Florida war— and among the many associations connected with the victories which this sword is designed especially to coixuncmoraie, none are more grateful to my heart than those which call up the glorious enthusiasm of the Louisiana Volun teers. If anything could add weight to these consider ations, it would be, that in Louisiana I have many cherished personal friends, and that this tribute of re spect seems to come, not from strangers, but from those whom I have known from youth. It shall be pre served by me, and by my children, as a possession be yond all price. Through you, Governor, I return my heartfelt thanks to the people of Louisiana; and I beg that you will, .it the same time, accept my warm ackn wledgments for the prompt and patriotic support which, in your of ficial capacity, you have always extended toour array in Mexico. The speeches being over, the General shook hands with the Governor and many of the per sons present, and then retired- Thus closed a scene, which, for deep, solemn, earnest interest and effect, was never exceeded by any similar spectacle we have ever witnessed.
