Many other excellent toasts were drank
Appropriate m,lsick by the band followed
most of the toasts.
1t happens quite unfortunately for these He
roites, that the party of $50 of which they
speak, was composed principally Of friends to
the present administration, and of young men
who are not freemen, and who take no part
in the political affairs. The most of these
persons, Immediately after partaking of their
dinner. returned to the public table and re-
sponded to the toasts there given, leaving on
~ about S or 90 violent partisans of the Gen,
erai to drink their toats in any manner most
congenal to their feelings. These few gentle
men by the way, were so lonesome at their
dinner that they thought It expedient to retire
to ballroom. which they did in "elegant
confusion" where part only of the toasts
they have published were drank, the remain
der having been collected and manufactured
for the 4th. 1t is only necessary tosadd. we
trust, the sentiment o. their distinguished
President. to convince the public of their
feelings generally, and of the irretrieveable
despair into which they were thrown when
they discovered their number SO rapidly de-
creasing as to leave only six or eight gentlemen
to hear it.
By the President.-Gen. Andrew jackson
would to God that he might be our next
President.
We will add, that some Of the most respec-
table friends to Gen. Jackson in this town d.
ned at the public table.
