poor and bare too beggarly.
FSL-Faith, for their poverty, know not where they
had that and for their baroness am sure they never
learned that ofme.
s.The long agony is over" The never-to-be
forgotten celebration of the birth day of Captain
John Tyler is now matter of history. The origi-
nal grand, sagacious and energetic purposes Of the
devoted, faithful, grateful friends" of the Presi-
dent Of the United States in the city of New York
have been effected. The dinner at the Shakespeare
Hotel, corner of William and Duane streets, has
beens given. Three hundred and ten plates OF
clam soup have disappeared hundred and
ten glasses have described circles in the ar-three
hundred and ten lusty voices have joined in the
wild hiphip-hurrah in favor of Tyler and the
Veto.
On reaching the scene of this great festive occa-
sion we found the bar room and the adjoining
rooms filled with dense crowd of the faithful su-
bordnates of the various public Offices in the city.
But, "Where Is Mr.. Curtis % Where is Colonel
Graham % "Where is Mr.. Curtis 2" was asked
on all sides, and echo answered "where z" 1t was
at last found that Mr.. Curtis had been taken
very sick yesterday morning with sort of
bilious collie, but that Mr.. Graham was in
such state Of health, happily, as would en-
able him to be present and participate in the fes-
tvtles. AT the foot of the staircase leading to the
dining room, sturdy, brigand-looking, half
sailor, half alligator" sort of looking chap was
stationed, to prevent the crowd from rushing pre-
maturely upon the roast ducks and turkies, whose
savory odors circulating freely in the atmosphere,
were snufied up eagerly by the throng, as is the
pleasant fragrance of " sweet words, and promises
more sweet from the di sponsors of office, by the
acutey sensitive nasal organs OF hungry office
beggars outside the doors of the "Whte House. -
Having forced our way past this jealous guardian
of the dinner table, in order to get to the Commit-
tee Room" we got up stairs, and there found the
" immortal seventeen headed by Colonel Ora
ham In person, with Barnabas Bates, Esq, and
James Auchincloss, as aid-de-camps, assisted by
GEORGE WASHINGTON DIXON, Esq. who had been
specially engaged as "poet-laureate" and general
whiPper.in, for this Interesting OCCASION
The dining room we found decorated in the most
recherche style. AT the head of the room was a
magnificent portrait of John Tyler, with w ashing-
ton on his right hand, and Jackson On his left.
Around the room the arms OF the States, and por-
traits of illusrlous statesmen and heroes were sus-
pended. All had been recently .executed--no ex-
pense had been spared-the gold leaf and blue and
yellow paint had been most profusely expended,
and ALL like the songs, the ducks, and the turkies,
prepared " expressly tor the occasion"
