THE LOAD AsapuRros Drsska :--Frm TIME
immemoEial II has been eustomary at all eolebra
tons, 9TH July dinners sc, TO compliment, the PFC
siden OF the United States in set toast, and 10 pre-
pairing the sentiments for tho occasion alluded TO
the committee duly complied W hh this ure-honoreo
custom. Some OF the gentlemen present dTanh
wine on the toast being announced. but the large
part Of the company did not, and no person sp
plauded. Well. what Of III The company con
sisted of gentlemen Of all parties, bu, there beoS
none to approve the uesehsrous, and may add
deraeeGul conduct OF the acting Pfssi3eni, they
could not rise and applaud without being gc'ty OF
hyPosrisy. l am perfectly satisfied that not SIN
gle individual intended the slieh,s., disrespse, to
the Office OF President of the United States, or to
the American PEOPLE. Some Of the Tyler penny
papers have been attacking Col. Binkhead, OF the
Army, and Commodore Perry, Of the Navy, be-
cause they did no; rise and set an example by APP
plsuding. Ii they had 1t would have been IN very
bed taste, because on such occasions the military
should always be subordinate 10 the civil. IL IS IN
battle that military and naval gentlemen should
lead. I'm personally and particularly acquainted
with Col. Bankaead and Commodore Perry, bo;h
Of whom have served their country CALAMITY ard
faithfully, in wer and in peace; and they are pro-
verbal for modesty, propriey, and all the eourte'
sizes Of life, but, holding commissions under acting
President Tyler, they would have lost claim 10 those
qualities if they had pushed themselves forward to
applaud the sentiment while civilians declined It.
| was no, at the dinner nor have met either Of
the officers mentioned since II came off, To obviate
all difficulty Tor the residue OF Capt. Tyler's teru'
| think it best that on pu5lc occasions, that we
drink TO the Office instead OF the incumbent The
Office must be respected. Ofiee-Seekers are giving
This tr:h Nc matter very unnecessary consequence
and az such charaete will appear ia the poces-
sion to morrow must be sbHidaniiy and particular.
y qualified fer office, hope the Capt. will reward
Every one of them, no, forgetting the ladies' who
ire to grsee the OCCASION trust that this respeeia
We procession will soothe the wounded feelings OF
he Captain.
The Senate having gone home, observe my
predictions are being verified. The Collector
# Philadelphia, and other C!ay>Whigs are dis
missed, and | infer the Captain will conduct n
wholesale business in this line soon. Let him. lie
nay turn on, every Office holder in the country,
nd supply their places with his supposed friends.
Ut even then his squad Of supporters for the Pre-.
deney would not muster much over n Corporars
iuard-eer,ainy not suiieisn! fer ensgn's com
land.
The unanimi,y with which the Western Star has
cen nominated for the Presidency at the Syracuse
invention, and the enthusiasm with which the
anne of HENRY CLAY is received Throughout,
&c Empire State, give assurances that when this
eat and popular Statesman 10 broush, directly
store the people, his friends, as we'll as his foes,
Ill be as.onished u, the immense numbers tina; !
i'll gather around his banner. b.
