These busts recall the faces of Hamilton and Jay, George and De Witt Clinton, — and you, Mr. President, are not alone in your office, and we can almost hear the voice of Luther Bradish, and see the forms of your noted predecessors, Egbert Benson, Gouverneur Morris, Dr. Hosack, De Witt Clinton, James Kent, and Albert Gallatin, with you as you occupy your chair to-night. One aged member is here, whose life bridges over the chasm, and in him old New York and young are one before us now. He was bor...n in 1786, when the city had but 23, 000 inhabitants, and now he presides over the bureau of immigration, that some- times receives that number in a month, and averages 16, 000 or 17, 000 monthly, or 200, 000 a year. Stout specimen of a living man — we will not say venerable relic of the eighteenth century ; contemporary of Hamilton and Jay, Morris, Livingston, and the Clin- tons; friend of Paulding, Irving, and Cooper; re- 64 NEW YORK IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
presentative of the eighteenth century and the nine- teenth; embodiment of the Dutch, English, and Amer- ican times ; master of our earliest literature and our last — Gulian Crommelin Verplanck !
