Judge BARTON being called upon by this toast
said he could not for the life of him imagine why,
among the hundreds who had crossed the Atlantic
within the year and returned to the endeaed scenes of
home, he should be specially alluded to. He urged
upon all the necessity of cutvatng more cordial and
enthusiastic spirit in favor OF the UNION and gave per
tlnen lessons upon that point gathered from his late
foreign tour Abiding to two rival political celebra-
tons of the Fourth, in 1872 when although bow. he
was quite an observer, he saw much in their spirit to
condemn, and he was glad to see the time arrive
when, on this birth day of the naton and on that sa
