MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE FESTIVE
BOARD: thank you truly for The unexpected toast which
connects my name with this patriotic celebration. am
a private man, unknown 10 fame, and am too small
theme 10 say anything about But for the laeness OF
the hour ha after twelve and the tax already levied
upon the company which admit has been well dis
charged by the able and delightful speeches We have
heard, might venture on the general subject which
brought here tonight As il ls will only allude
to the part which my native State-Vrgnia-Ras always
played in the drama OF poliucs-a theme on which /
might descant with pride and exuation.
The mother of States has ever regarded her public
principles essential 10 the preservation OF the Union,
and the welfare OF our common country, and has
often overlooked her eminent sons who deserted her
glorious standard. For doing so some have thought
proper 10 siigmaze her harsh cruel, and unnatural
mother But not that she loved her children less,
but her country In her long and eventlu voyage
over the troubled OF public life she never scrupled
10 throw her jewels overheard whenever II neces-
cary the cargo 10 right the vessel OF State and
to put her forward in the proper republican direction
Her recent conduct was but a sample OF all the rest
She passed over her gallant Scott and looking aar cast
her suffrage on the graniie hills OF New Hampshire.
This hm resolve 10 maintain her principles, ahd TO look
10 our country commoa whole, has very naturally
gained her The general respect and confidence o the demo-
cratic party And chstsh the thought, that II ever pa
totism shall desert the world. her latest appearance will
be upon the soil where Washington fought, where JET
progress OF ages the sisters OF conlederacy shall d.
vide, and become The victims oi civil war and foreign
violence Virginia may follow the rest, and some iyrant
may impose his chains upon her. but come when he
