The President prefaced the to.sts by saying that
the Clay Association in the habit of inviting to
their festival those who, thoush not belonging to
their body. we're conspicuous for adherence to the
prirciples which Mr.. Clay loved. In accordance
with that habit they had invited the Hon. Erastus
Brooks, Of the State Sesa,e, to preside. The Presi
dent read letter from Mr.. Brooks excusing his ne
cesssiy sbseDce, and pronouDciDg a warm eulogium
on the Dc ceased patriot. The reading elected loud
applause.
The fret toast was responded to with "The Natal
"Day Song" written by WV. NICKEL, and sung
by that gentleman, to the air Of Dearest May the

because here every man has cause to plead-home

the name Of Samuel which now adsys gives title to

the effect that Mr.. Clay spoke for the extension
Of Slavery He offered az a sentiment:

The Hon. JAMES Brooks responded 10 the fourth
tosst. He uttered warm eulogium on Mr.. Clay,
ard looked forward to the day when America would
be pervsded by spirit Of her own in fashion, law,
literature, art and scence-and stll further to
when that spirits sbould pervade the world. Mr..
Brooks went on to speak against The proprety OF
allowing the psuper labor Of Europe to come into
free competition With American labor. he had no
acquaintance with SAM but II he hsd the good prin-
ciples ascribed to him, he would do all he could 10
help bin. At the same time, he had no quarrel With
the Dutch personsge OF unpronounceable nsms who
stalks about Cincinnati, nor with European aoor Ia
general but while he would that labor, he would
not all at once sdmit il TO share in the countrys
