OF the day presided Elk Recorder Rush at the table
on his right hand, and Thomas S. Smith at the left
hand table. The whole affair p lssed of with the
utmost unanin.ny of feeling and with the best kind
Oh order. From the character OF the toas and the

The President of the day introduced the toasts by
stating that when hoDOred with the invitation to at
tend TINS dinner, he not invited as a friend OF
President Tyler, but TO honor the birthday of w ash
Ingon and unite with his fellow in support
OF their Chief Magistrate, and he earnestly invoked
that support from all good citizens. He had found in
the Madisonian of the 18th instant, sentiment ema
mating from tue authority of the President himself,
honorable to the President it appropriate
the day.
The article appended below from the New York
Sun, speaks the sentiments of the President in Iela
uon to the Tyler Party. The party rallyng around
the President is the administration party a party
having IN view the good Of the country, and formed
for the special benetit OF individual. The Presi-
dent looks TO poste iy for personal larty-a party
that W Ill do ull usce to his motives and w he
living, he can only desire to the measures he
commends approved and adopted for the sake OF his
country"
These are patriotic and noble sentiments worthy of
the and the day. Gentlemen, said Mr. Richards
1t was my intention to have passed silently 10 the
toasts of the DAY, but has handed me since

which deem an insult to the company TO the Chief
Magistrate OF the country, and PROCLAMATION OF this
consecrated day.
