was read, and the appropriation therein asked large and attentive audience, including a large for made :: EXECUTIVE Department, NEW-YORK, March 29, 1852. To the Chancery of the State of New-York: } CHANCELLORS:-On the 18th of the present month, I became informed of the death of the veteran of the Revolution, and the last of the Life Guard of Washington, Henry Gibson, who honored our Order with his presence at Metropolitan Hall on the 23d February last, at the celebration of Washington's Birth-day. On the evening of the same day, I received a note from Captain J. C. Helme, Senior Captain of the Continental Companies of the city, stating that the aged hero was to be buried from the City Hall on the 22d instant, with military and civic honors, under the direction of the several Continental Com panies, and extending an invitation to our Order to join with the Continentals in this expression (about to be given) of respect to the memory of the aged veteran. Deeming the occasion of the funeral services of one who had been with Washington, and served with him in achieving our liberties, was one full of interest to us as Americans, and an occasion which should call for a public manifestation of the estimation in which the great services of those patriots of the Revolution are held by our Order, I caused to be published in the several papers of Friday and Saturday, the 19th and 20th instants, an invitation and request to the Hon. the Chancery of this State and of the State of New-Jersey, and also the members of the Order under their respective jurisdictions, to assemble at Chancery-rooms, in full regalia, on Monday, the 22d instant, and unite in the funeral services of that occasion. I am happy to say it was responded to by our Order very generally; and a majority of Chancery, together with officers and members of our several Chapters, to the number of about one thousand, assembled at our rooms, and proceeded in a body to the Park, where we united with the Continental Companies, and proceeded with the remains of the venerable hero to Greenwood Cemetery, and saw them deposited in their final resting place. Our Order returned to the city in the same regularity, escorted by the several companies of Con tinentals. The following expenses were incurred for the occasion, viz.: Dodworth's full band, Advertising, Total, $76 number of ladies, the platform being occupied by the officers of the Chapter and their guests. Grand Sachem, William W. Osborn, presided. The exercises of the evening were opened with prayer by the Rev., pastor of the Sullivan street Methodist Episcopal church. Brother Ira A. Campbell, of American Chapter, was then introduced, who delivered a short but pertinent address, explanatory of the objects of the Order. After which Past Chancellor Joseph R. Hoff, on behalf of the trustees of the Chapter, presented, with a few eloquent and appropriate remarks, a handsomely bound copy of the Holy Scriptures. This beautiful gift was received in the name of the Chapter by Chaplain James Laws. The Rev. W. S. Balch was then introduced to the audience, and proceeded to deliver a most eloquent and logical address, his subject being The Incompatibility of Popery with Republican Institutions. As a basis to his discourse, the reverend orator proceeded to analyze the radical properties of the two elements, Republicanism and Popery; the former exhibiting a system of government founded on the expressed will of the people, and the other exhibiting a system of government emanating from the will of a single man; and from this basis he drew the very natural deduction that the two could not harmonize, and that where they exist together, the one or the other must direct the temporal affairs of the people, the one sustaining and the other destroying civil and religious liberty. The address was listened to with profound attention and repeated expressions of approval. At the close of the address, the audience, by a unanimous vote, extended to the reverend gentleman a request that he will repeat, at some appropriate place, the lecture recently delivered by him in reply to "The Catholic Chapter" of Bishop Hughes A committee of arrangements was at once for which amount I respectfully ask an appropria- appointed by the audience; and we are since tion by Chancery.
