should content himself with proposing toast.-
he presumed the young men had had quite enough
Of his family for one day, and therefore would
not expect from him speech. Gentlemen were,
no doubt, familiar with the French adage, " Tou-
tours perdrix," and were not desirous Of too much,
even of a good thing. We can convey no ade-

space Of five or six minutes, Introductory TO the
subjoined sentiment:

Of our country-The only rich inheritance which
is likely to remain IN the families of the original
prOprietors; may this be transmitted from gene
ration to generation, and may everv young man
have and enjoy his fair aliquot part Of it through
all genertions, without recourse TO the judge of
Probate

This toast was responded to BY Mr.. Quincy,
who referred to his attachment to the city of Bos-
ton, and the impossbiity of his ever losing, un-
der any circumstances Of absence or distant To-
cation the indissoluble ties which bound him to
his birth place. In conclusion he proposed the
following toast:
The citizens Of Boston. Happy in fathers,
whose virtues do honor to their sons; happier in
sons who exemplify and do honor to the virtues
OF their fathers.
The following Toast was announced from the
Chair, as having been sent by the young men Of
Philadelphia
The Young men Of Boston. The spirit which
prompts them to the proper celebration of the
birth day of American Liberty, is worthy such
recoilectons and gratitude as patriot sons should
have Of patriot sires. and meets with the cordial
sympatbies and appreciation of the young men
Of Philadelphia.

ment, which had been forwarded to Philadelphia,
