MORE ApoLoGIEs-MR. JAMES LEE ON THE STAND
We understand that Mr.. James Lee, one of the
Committee of Arrangements at the Ashburton din
ner, has been explaining round town the reason of
the late ndlgnity to the Presidents and the way it
is said to have occurred is caution to all the rules
of etiquette.
1t appears that the question was calmly discussed
in the committee, with much philosophy and good
diction, under the presiding of James G.. King,
as to whether the President should be cheered or
not, and how they could contrive gracefully to give
him the go-by. At last, after good deal of DELHI
Grafton, it was decided that no cheers should be
given, either to the toast of the President or the
Queen, but that they should crowd on all sail, and
give cheers, the whole nine cheers, for Lord Ash
burton, representative otthe Queen Of England at
that dinner. This plan would have been carried
out, had it been for some laundering blockheads
of Englshmen, who did not know any thing of the
secret deliberations and private arrangements, but
who only knew what was customary, and what was
etiquette such occasions, and they proposed to
cheer the Queen, which the committee then SEEM
ed to agree in.
The most remarkable feature in this explanation,
or apology is the elaboration with which those So
Tenn smpletons the committee set themselves to
work in order to find some excuse for committing
a most gross breach of COOL manners, and most
ungentlemanly act for the purpose of gratifying pri-
vate feeling against the President. Here were set
ofmen, claiming to know all about the incest points
of etiquette and gentility, and to carry them out in
their daily DOING assembling together, and enacting
melancholy farce, by making rules to violate all
etiquette, good manners, and common decency $
and this too prompted by the most paltry feelings
imaginable.
This is the most miserable apology that has been
given yet, and the most ludicrous. 1t is worse
than that given by Mr.. Gales, who says that the
Queen toasted because she wore petticoats.-
However, let il go for what it is worth, and float
down the stream of time with other dead fishes
Who is the next to give an apology We shall
have as many apologies before have done, as
there were members of the laundering Committee.
