During the discussion of these good things very
little political talk took place. many Of the guests
were exceedingly puzzled to distinguish fish from
fesh and game from confectionery in the carte; and
seve al Of our neghbors applied TO US for information
on these points, SO interesting TO all culinary enthu-
\
vcred with lard to make it look fair and candid; and
i. was rather amusing to witness the wry faces Of
some who helped themselves Of il, taking it for ice
creaEs.
| As might be anticipated on such an OCCASION the
din and hustle were tremendous; three hundred and
twenty knives and forks in industrious occupation,
and the same number of champaign corks hurting
through the air are calculated to make such scene
a very noisy one; and although the waters at the
Astor House are toerably well disciplined, where
there are so many, they get in another's way
and add important feature to the general confusion
The joints were kept hot by water Dishes under
which spirits of wine were burning; expedent
eessary where the courses indicated by the raising
of covers, and NOT by the legitimate entrees. Mr.
Boyden's department of the affair perfect
as could be- and every must have been satisfied
with that portion of the economy.
Mr. Phillip Hone seemed TO be in his element, call
ing out here, and ordering there, like important
parsonage, and perfect Beau Nash.
The members of the committee of arrangements
were indicated bya knot of satin ribband twisted in
the button hole OF their coat and presided each at the
top Of table croup:cr. AT the centre table Mr..
Charles King, Of the American newspaper did the
dates of Amphitryon and ris ris with Mr..
Hone although about two hundred feet interviewed
between them.
Our old friend Colonel Webb was in all his glory,
and his whiskers seemed deliberately sognes for the
nonce
Mr. Daniel Webster Looked in perfect good humor
and was in high spirits the Boston people, who
seemed TO form tho majority of guests kept the God of
th:lr idolatry continually the move rising alter
natey in groups and pledgng the diaectcian ill he
had drank with all of them. He must have a hard
head, as well as a strong mind. His speech towards
the close unsurpassed by any of his previous dis
plays He was listened to with great admiration for
upwards of an hour.
Mr.. Charles King, of the committee of arrange
mcnts thought it becoming and decorous to afTront
gentleman at the middle table. This was done by
preconcert of the committee, of whom Mr.. King was
the mouthpece and organ, and who very prud sntly
acted by proxy instructing their agent 10 Sc
lcct his time and place to render impossible that
il should be resented the spot We learn that Mr..
King apoogzed yesterday morning in a written note
when an explanation Of his conduct was required We
shall procure il for publication.
We have il from ncontestibe authority that the
distinguished Wing gentlemen invited, made il a con-
don of their acceptance of the compliment that no
report of their speeches should be given the public
and that the committee asquiesced in the proviso,
thus attempting to destroy and paralyze the liberty
of the press The distribution Of tickets was confined
as much possible TO strangers, or TO the private
friends and acquaintance of the COMMITTED The din
ner was TO be a party orgy-a roockng, roaring,
confidential and fapatical party celebrations and this
exclusveness, Ito which shall attach no epithet,
as speaks for itsef) is the respect this upstart COM
mitce pays TO its great many wing fellow citizens.
Bankers brokers, Jews, trading politicians were the
elects and devotion to clique residence out fihe
citywere what constituted the wedding garment, with.
on, which any whipper-snapper or nincompoop ofthe
committee, had a right TO ask, how came you in
heref" We are much mistaken if the sound sense Of
that portion of the Wings not yet frantic with
party excitement will approve justify such an open
and undisguised prescription; such aristocratic
and impairment assumption. In our opinion the pay
men of Sl0 and not thecut Of ones coat the cha
racter of ones creed was and should be, the "open
sesame OF the Banquet hall. But the rabid blindness
of clique will mpe it onward il its suicidal phronzy
and feio de SC will be the inevitable verdict of The
thinkin. and conscientious Of all parties. The dica-
torial prohibition TO the press, and the exclusion
Of all but the friends and partisans Of the COM
aittce or the stranger and none RESIDENT are cha.
