70 URTH OF JULY ToAsTs.

Toasts on the National Anniversary used 10 be
considered as evidence of public sentiment on Ma
tiona affairs, and, whatever party complexion was
given 10 them, were always in the main patriotic.
Every where through The United States, with the
exception, we believe, of the State which has un-
der,aken (6guratively speaking) to eclipse the
Union, the Toass at the late Anniversary exhibit a
predominant attachment to the Union and the Gov
ernment Of the United States. We were particu.
larly struck, on looking over the account of the
celebration Of the Anniversary at Winchester, by
the fact that ont of about forty volunteer toasts
given on the occasion--there were no regular
toasts-a majority Of the whole were in direct alu-
sion to the Union, expressive of its value, and in
vsking its perpetuiry.
We quote two or three as indicative of the gem
ersl sentiment:
BY H. shennd--The Union of the States: It's q best
security faithful observance the Rights Of the States
and 'sguasanlees OF the Constitution"
BY William B. HoIlis-Our Country Long may it tri-
umph lis oppressors, and may the wreath Of indepen
aence connue bind hearts closely the Union
By Henry G. Won Riesen-our Glorious Republic; Unit
ed we stand divided We fall No North no South no East
no West The Union forever
most revolving contrast to these proofs of genu-
inc patriotic sentiment is exhibited in paper now
before us, (the Columbia Telegraph of the 7th inst
in an account of Celebration at Rossple, in Ches-
ter district, South Carolina, at which, after Dis.
union Address Of nearly two hours from the Hon.
r. B. RHETT, thirteen regular toasts were drunk,
every one of which inculcated sentiments of mortal
enmity to the Union. Fake the three first of them
as a sample:
