Yorkers will have to exert themselves to
tho utmost, if they have any idea OF eX-

do honor to the son of the head OF a Ma
lion. with which ouI Country maintains
relations OF the most perfect amlty-and
with which our commercial intercourse is
of very high Importance. In the hour oil
our country's utmost need, France came
10 our rescue. When we were but hand
full of men, contending against the mighty
mower Of the mother Country, france IN
terposed her strong aud gallant arm, and
decided the contest in our favor. France
is the land of our beloved La Fayette. Is
it necessary to say more, to induce Bosto-
mans to lend their aid, to do honor to
son of her sovereign. - Boston Atlas.
