WASHINGTON, July 10.


lion of the national anniversary, on this occa'
sion, exceeded any which have taken place
here, since the laying of thecorner stone OF
the capitol, when, as was now the case, an OK
was roasted whole. The shed which was erect,
ed for the dining room, was 400 by 90 feet, ana
four tables traversed the whole extent OF TINS
building, which was rooted in, but lett open at
the ends and the sides. These tables were all
filed but one land that had some spare seats,
owing to the unavoidable absence OF some VINO
had taken tickets either from sickness or Reees-
sary calls from distance. A platform erected
against vacant house was the rostrum, from
which the orator, Richard S. Coke, Esq, ad-
dressed his excellent and piquant Grafton, 10
the thousands assembled in the open air ana I'M
der temporary building, erected by the side OF
The dining apartment, for the accommodation
of those who desired to be auditors. Never was
an Grafton more emphatically delivered; never
was an Grafton more admirably adapted to the
feelings of the listeners; and never did an au-
ditory more enthusiastically give frequent tes- J
timony of its delight and acquiescence in the
sentiments which were discoursed The shouts
were deafening at every allusion to Clay: The
reference to the stream of glory which ilIumin'
ated the western horizon, was hailed by cata- |
ract of applause, which rolled and leaped along
from one end of the concourse to the other, with
prodigious effect. With tremendous raPldlty
the thunder succeeded the lightning. When
did peroration, shout, so spontaneous, SO ST.
Rlultaneous,and so thrilling, pierced the AR, that
nore was left at liberty to doubt or misaPpre-
bend the depth Of the impression which was al
that moment stamped on the universal mind OF
the multitude. 1t is well known that upwards
of hundred persons employed in public of1ces,
or looking for employment, would have Joytully
Joined in this festival, but for the fear that by
such an evidence of their political feelings, they
would risk the slender support which they de-
rive or expect, and which can be given or with
held by the executive fat. 1t is known that the
most active efforts were made to deter such
from attending. They were threatened 1t they
went to one dinner; and offered promotion, &C
companied by free ticket, If they would go TO
the other. Thus was one party diminished by
keeping away its friends, while the other was
increased by the addition Of those who were In
heart its opponents
The administration dinner was formal and
spiritless The Secretaries had all left town to
avoid the conflicting celebrations. Mr.. DUH
Green praised himself so extravagantly, as the
Madeira drowned his discretion, that the com
mttee of supervision deem il unwlse TO print
the morsel of eloquence, unless it can be prun-
ed of some of its rankest excrescences.

PRESIDENT JACKSON AND Internal IMPROVE
MEETs. We have taken pains to examine the
Journals of 1923, 4, and 5, and can endorse the
assertion of Mr. Niles, that Senator Jackson
nsuer noted against a bill for the improvement
of the country How different has been the
conduct of President Jackson.
L. On the 23d Jan, 1924, Gen. Jackson vot
ed for the bill authorizing road from Memphis
in the State of Tennessee, to Little Rock il
the Territory of Arkansas.
g. On the Goth Feb, he voted for bill 70
laying ont and making certain roads in the ter
ritory of Florida.

land road to GAINESVILLE. "a
~sEesapcuKs and Delaware Canal Company.
We give the names of the two Senator's frol
Tennessee in association, to show that con
mon feeling was entertained by them. In Gel
Jackson's letter to Mr.. Ray, Governor of Ind
Jana, dated Feb %, 1928, he says "my opir
lens at present, are precisely what they wer
in 1923 and lS24-when 1 voted for the preser
