Yesterday, being the anniversary Of the battle
Of New Orleans was celebrated by the "Jack-
son Democratic Association" at Jackson Hall
The main attraction Of the occasion was the pres
ence of Kossuth and his associates. Between
FIVE and six hundred sat down at the tables
about one-third of whom were ladies-and per-
haps a hundred and fifty more, who could not
obtain seats at the tables occupied the platforms
and sofas on the sides of the hall
Kossuth was seated at the centre of the table
extending across the southern end, next to the
president of the association. On the right and
left, we noticed Senators Douglas, Cass, Houston,
Gwin, Bright, and number Of other members OF
Congress. Kossuth's suite, with several Hun
garian ladies' occupied one Of the centre tables
directly in front. While the company were being
seated, the venerable Mr.. Richie, late editor OF
the Union" appeared at the head of the hall,
and was introduced to Kossuth by the President.
Kossuth rose took the old gentleman by the hand,
and assisted him around the table, where he be-
came seated amidst great cheering
After the dinner had been discussed at about
81 o'clock, the president accompanied Kossuth
to the centre of the western side of the hall.
Here the regular toasts, thirteen in number, were
announced The first three were as follows:
LIST. WashiDgton-The greatest, wisest, pu-
rest-the most glorious of mankind.-[ Hail CO.
lumbia.
I'd. The President of the United States.-[Pres-
idents March
3d. Andrew Jackson--Foreign nations sec his
fame on the field Of battle--his country in his
civil administration-his friends in the bosom OF
the Hermitage. Hail to the Chief
At this point, Francis p. Blair, esq, read an
address to Kossuth. IL was followed by the fol-
lowing sentiment:
The Exiles of Europe-Liberty and Louis Kos
suth.
Kossuth responded by reading an address, in
which, after expressing his gratitude at being
present " on this solemn OCCASION" and abiding
to the day, he went on to discuss the topics which
have occupied so prominent place in his pub
ished speeches In the course of his remarks he
declared, that he had nothing to do with any
party movements, and did not come here TO
"make political capita" - that be was "not
identified with q certain foreign gentleman in the
United States" (alluding to German editor in
New York, THAT he was neither Wing nor q
Democrat but repubcan-and that he APP
peared here to advocate the doctrine of ''inter-
vention for non-intervention. He was received
with repeated cheers and sat down amidst great
applause. The reading Of the address occupied
about forty minutes.
In addition to the rgular toasts on printed
programme, were % " toasts by the committee of
arrangements, IL OF which were complimentary
to as many prominent democrats, in the following
order-King, Boyd Cass, Douglas, Lane, Blu
chanan, Wool, Stockton, Pierce, Dix, Dickinson,
Marcy, Dallas, Butler, Dodge, and Hunter.
The first who rose to respond was Gen. Cass.
lie was received with great applause, and went
on to deliver "dyed.in- the-wool" Democratic
speech. lie said that his being the only survivor
who had held office under Jefferson ought to be n
sufficient warrant for his Democracy. lie did not
come to talk about himself, however, but the De-
mocratic party, whose victory at the next Presi-
dental election he believed was sure. He coun-
selled harmony in its ranks, whoever might be
nominated Gen. Cass concluded by eulogizng the
character of Jackson--called him man free from
rashness, and vouched for his having originated
entirely, and written mostly with his own hand,
the proclamation relating to South Carolina
When we left, at ii o'clock, to close up for the
press, Senator Douglas was delivering an eloquent
speech. --Southern Press.
