Tuesday last, at Barnum's Rooms, Bal
timore, in commemoration oftbe ''glo-.
rious EVENT. of the election of Mr. A
DAMS to the Presidency lat whichG GORGE
WARNER, Esq. presided, assisted by
JAMES l.. HAWKINS, Esq. and THOMAS
FINLEY, Esq. The best temper appears
to have prevailed over the Entertain
ment, which was in harmony with the
following incident, which belonged to
the occasion:
"As soon as the cloth was removed,
the President rose, and stated to the
company, in appropriate terms, that the
celebration was not intended as a tri-
umph over the feelings ofthose who had
differed from them on the Presidential
question, but was intended purely to cell
citrate two great events in the political
history OF our country, and with this
view, the Committee arrangements
had framed the regular toasts, which he
hoped would not only meet the appro-
baton of all present, but that the yolun-
teer toasts would be given ia a cores
bonding tanner. The whole company
responded to the free and liberal senti-
ment Of the President with three hear
ty cheers~"--Pahriot.
