The Cincinnati American of the 2lst instant
contains an animated account of the Great DIN
ner given 10 Senator Barton by number of the
citizens of that place on the 18th inst. Nearly
eco persons partOck of it. Judge Davies acted
as president on the occasion, assisted by Col.
Borden and w. Green, Esq. as vice presidents.
The toast complimentary to MIR. Barton was
received in the most enthusiastic manner-so al
so his speech, in almost every sentence Of which
he was interrupted by the vOcierous demonstra-
tons Of appreciation of his hearers.
When the name of the peerless statesman Hen
~ Clay was given, the feelings of enthusiasm
were n5ounded-unparralele
In describing the scene which ensued, the edi-
tGrs Of the Cincinnati American say, ''As soon
81, Judge Davis announced the name of Henry
Clay, the most defeating shouts and tremendous
tapping on the tables commenced which con-
tinUed for length OF time. and was hushed only
by the numerous sten,Orian calls for the remain
der of the toast The president was then enabled
10 get as far as the terms The Father Of the A
merican SYSTEM" when he was again interrupt
ted with long, loud and repeated shouts and
paudts. SURPRISING any thing we ever witnessed

gwen the remainder of the toast, the same scene
of tumrlt and of noise again ensued without in
seemed to spring trom one source, and lie extra

peared. to flow with the same unaninlity, as if
proceeding from one soul "A bumper to tins
resouded from every quarter, and the glasses
were quickly drained to their last drop. En-
core'' was now vociferated from all parts of the
room and as soon Us silence could be procured,
the president directed the Company 20 fill again
TO the same toast. So soon as it was repeated,
the whole company Spontaneously rose and gave
n,ae cheers. At hat moment we thought. say
the editors. we would rather b. HENnv Ci.v
than anv m,n 'ivin2. Never before did we see
such uncquivocal exhibitions of deep rooted atfec-
ton The scene was eminenily inspiring, and
gave sufficient earnest of what may be expected
from the people on the 4th of March 1855"
The toasts are patriotic and Giqualt, and we
were happy to see that our gifted townswoman,
Mrs. Barney. and her powerful letter, were re-
membered in the speech of Mr.. Barton, and in
the toasts-Btd. Chron.
