been repeatedly distinguished by the confidence OF
their fellow citizens IN the representation of he county
Oh these were polhtedout to Us, particularly, the vete-

REGULAR TOASTS.
/. Independence. National aud personal.
2. Our Country.-May her magistrates remember
that she ought to be governed by the will Of The poo
pie, and not the will Of one man.

lence.
A. Our distinguished guest. I'm. c. Rires.-Like
FabrIcius At the tent OF Pyrrhus, unscdnced by the
allurements Of yesterday -unterriGed by he threats of
10 day-his devotion to his party has NOT been sufi-
oient 10 induce him TO forget his country. In his
opposition TO The will Of the Executive lie has cx-
hrbiled 6rmness and abilities which should inspire
his countrynen with increased copfieHce in The
man, who has too much virtue 10 surrender his prin-
ciples FOR party.
AFTER the applause had subsidized, Mr.. Rives rose
and addressed the company in an eloquent and
chasle style Tor :~o hours and a half. We shall not
attempt to We even a sketch OF il, because we hope
Mr.. Rives, (who has been strongly solicited 10 do
so by many who heard it,) may 6nd leisure hefeal-
ter TO enable us 10 present a fun report of il 10 our
readers. That II was well received by those present
we are well assured we saw that many present were
wholly absorbed with il during its delivery. and al.
towards, when conyersing with some of hem we
found that it had made a very decided aud iavora-
BILE impression on their minds even some of he adj
yocates of The sub treasury voluntarily came forward
and declared that they could NOT find il in their hearts
to condemn Mr.. RIves, as he had faithfully acted up
10 his principles, and supported the hue interests
OF his country.
When Mr.. Rivcs had concluded he gave the fol-
lowing sentiment:
BY VIM. G. R'ves. Popular Representation The
instrument OF national self government designed TO
be the vigilant Sc ntlnel OF the peoples rights and a
waichlul guard upon the abuses and encioachments
Of power. Let the people cherish its independence
as the right arm Of their sovereignty.
8. The SURFING Officers ami Soldiers Of He
Revolution. Many of the present generation OPP
pose our tyfants, rs they did theirs.
6. The Hon. James misunderstanding alike
the arrogance of POWER, and the madness OF party,
he has " held his course unfaltering,' the fearless
champion OF The people and a bright example OF Re-
preventative integrity and independence. lie has
secured a place in the confidence and affections Of
a free people, more honorable far than power can
give OF party can confer.
