| DINNER TO Mr.. LEIGH-A public dinner was
given to Mr. Senator LEIGH, by the citizens Of Pc
tersburg Virginia on Wednesday last. More
than three hundred persons were present
Among the guests were Mr.. TYLER Of the Sen
ate, Mr.. ARCHER of the House of Representa-
tives. several Wing members of the last and
the present General Assembly, and large
number Of gentlemen from the adjoining coun-
ties. The Richmond Compiler observes:
GA dinner Of three hundred gentlemen, is no
small affair for town Of the size Of Petersburg,
and State like the Old Dominion. There has
not been so large an aSsemblage by half upon
any similar occasion in this city Richmond |
within the period Of our recollection.
"Mr LEIGH delivered long and animated
speech, distinguished by that manly eloquence
which has secured him so many admirers in this
city, and indeed wherever he is known. He
adverted to the circumstances of his election to
the Senate, and stated that the appointment had
been entirely unsolicited by him, for the truth
of which he appealed to gentlemen then present
who had been members of the last General AS
sembly He spoke Of the part he had acted at
Washington, and of his inability, from the cir
cumstances Of his then situation, to render any
effective service to the country. He exposed,
in mastery manner, the intrigues of the
frlenQS OIL Inc vice 1TeSueHl, tneTe anu mere,
showing up the black hearted malignity and sell
fish sinister designs, with which they had labor
ed to defame his political reputation. He allu-
ded to the President in the respectful language
due to the high Office which he filled, and to the
people who had elected him to it, denounclng at
the same time the odious tyranny Of his meas
ures, and making plain to the meanest capaci-
ty,' the violent and alarming character of his
disastrous administration. He spoke of VAN
buren,, as person who had said it was glory
enough for him to have served under such
man Gas General Jackson,) and denounced the
mean slavish spirit of that debasng sentiment,
and the man who could utter it, &c. &c. He
was repeatedly interrupted by loud bursts of
applause.
"Governor TYLER addressed the company in
his happiest style, holding up TO the scorn and
OF his hearers, the ignorance duplcity,
and plumbers Of our blessed rulers. The tables
were in roar for an hour. He was interrupt
ed at almost every sentence by the noisy ap-
plause, which his nimitable satire was constant
ly calling FORTH
Mr.. ARCHER spoke at some length, exposing
the deep treachery of those who bear no incon-
siderable part in the political drama at Wash
ington, and explaining the alarming usurpations
Of the President. The company adjourned to
the theatre about nine. The whole assembly
was one of great interest, and we trust may
prove the fruitful source OF increasing political
good"
