A WrrTY TRUTH.-The celebrated DR.. johnson
said that in epigrams truth was generally sacrificed
to point; but we insert below case in which truth
adds point to the sentiment. At a celebration of
the last 4th of july in Paris, by number of Ame-
ricans, the following was of the toasss given at
the banquet
g The Cartridge-bor the BalotJor and the Bandbor
The EXTERNAL the INTERNAL and the eternal Preservaves Of
Republcanism."
This (says contemporary is the best toast
ever drank on the Fourth of July, in America or
Europe. It's worthy Of being placed at the head
of Lord Bacon's apothegms. The true spirit of
philosophy, patriotism, and beauty pervade the
whole sentiment, in every word and idea. The
cartridge-box, in the hands OF brave men, may be
the defence Of republicanism from external" enc
mics and the ballot-box, kept pure, may preserve
republicanism from all internar' enemies, the
Secessionsts and Abolitionists not excepted. But
!" the handbook" is the eternal preservatve' of
republicanism,' and, it may be added, Of every
,hing else worth preserving.
