Randel Hunt Serenaded in Philadelphia.—A very handsome compliment was paid on the evening of the 14th inst., at the Continental hotel, Philadelphia, to our distinguished fellow-citizen, Randel Hunt, Esq., in the form of a serenade, which drew together a large concourse of people. The Inquirer says:

Mr. Hunt being one of the electors at large on the Bell and Everett ticket in Louisiana, the greeting on this account, in addition to its personal relation, took a political turn. The Minute Men went in procession to the hotel, with the Philadelphia Band. Several delightful airs were performed, and in response Mr. Hunt appeared on the balcony, and after acknowledging the kindness of the citizens who had thus called on him, he proceeded amid great enthusiasm, to address the assemblage on the various topics involved in the Presidential canvass.

His speech was quite able and interesting, and cordially cheered throughout.

From the report of Mr. Hunt's speech we have the following:

He explained that the Constitutional Union party had its origin in the desire of the good men of all sections of the country to put an end to the unceasing criminations and recriminations of the Northern and Southern States. We have formed a party that has carried Kentucky by nearly 80,000 majority; we have formed a party that will carry Virginia as sure as to-morrow's sun shall rise. Tennessee is with us. They tell you Louisiana is unsound. I deny it. She is sound to the very core. She is true to the Union. She will vote for John Bell and Edward Everett.—(Cheers).

I tell you, gentlemen, the South will present almost a united front. (Cheers.) South Carolina will be misled by her politicians. It is possible that Georgia may go astray, but I venture to say that at least twelve out of the fifteen States will cast their votes for John Bell and Edward Everett. (Cheers).
