between Mingo Of the tribe and him

He was calm, and conscious of his i'm

for Gen. Jackson, who was then, per-

The Dinner came off on Saturday
last, the 9th instant, at Browns Hotel,

hundred and fifty persons sat down,
chiefly members Of congress.

of Ga, acted as President, assisted by
Hon. William S. Archer, of Virginia,

iCan, Oft Senate, the Hon. Edw. D.
White and Hon John Moore, of Lou, Of
the House of Repre- sentatives, as Vice
| Presidents.
After the cloth was removed, the fol-
lowing toasts were drunk, each, one being
accompanied by most delightful and ap.
proprate music from the Marine Band.

the feast; our first object in the 70 rum;
our first love every where.

son, consecrated in our affections by the
hopes that lie buried in his tomb. This

country IN many an hour of trial. He
has enriched her annals by his deeds
guided her steps by his wisdom, and il.
lust -ated her glory by his eloquence. lie
retireS from the Senate, but he will new
err retire from his countrymen.
The last of these toasts was preceded
by speech stirring eloquence from the
President, after the toast was drank. and
the deafenng shouts and huzzas with
which it was received had subsidized, Mr..
Clay rose and delivered an appropriate ad
dress, marked with all his characteristic
fervor, feeling and eloquence
The following additional toasts were
drunk:
4th. The Union: A magical chain
Revered by its wearers, its links are the
priceless gems of honor, safety and peace
| Unrevered, it changes into a brittle conn
lerfert, composed of discord, weakness
and disgrace.
5th. Foreign Nations: Our councils are
guided by the spirit of peace, but we
neither beg nor fear their favor or tn eli
hate.
The President then read the following
interesting correspondence.

ALABAMA MONEY.
Mississippi.

A meeting of about one hundred ira
ders and firms was recently held IN Mo-
bile, who adopted and signed resolutions
that after the first day of June next, they
would not receive the issues OF any bank
paper, unless at the discount for which it
could be sold at the time for specie. We
learn from the Journal Of Commerce, that
large meeting of those opposed to the
step was held on Friday the 18th lnst., at
which g Resolutions were adopted disap-
nroyIng of the combination TO put down
our currency. expressing full confidence
in the ultimate ability of the Banks to
redeem their circulation, anG pledglng
themselves TO sustain the credit and Cur
rency ofthe State. The excitement has
now somewhat subsidized, and the proba-
biIity is, that the subject will be permitted
to rest, until the proper time shall arrive
for bringing it to the attention OF the Lee
gislature."
Notwithstanding this expression ofopin,
ion by the Mobile Journal, we have not the
slightest confidence in the ultimate sol
vcN Of these institutions. The obIiga.
lion% zoo the State of Alabama, to redeem
ler Indebtedness, we look upon, as mere
moons inc, whilst the present dominant
party has tine control of her operations.
There seems to be an innate principle
among the Locos to repudidte, and wien

honorable party IN Alabama, will follow
