,gy~ Tie Ncssuyo and the Pyiaie.s Supper
l. st Nigat-We received the Presidents Mes
s..e yesterday morning through the kindness
OF Express Messenger John Kirby, a little be-
fore eleven o'clock, and before .wo o'clock our
carriers were distributing the extras containing
it to oar patrons in the city. In this we dis
,anccd all comprehension TACT the force of all
competitors combined, their energetic aud flint
i'm efforts 10 the contrary notwithstanding.
10 the gc,.i ii, good natured and intelligcntrev-
erent gentleman who happened along and gave
us the benefit of his .>nowlddge Of the black
art, by ssisting high private, tender our
hearty thanks. A number of other gentlemen
,vbo have retired from the "art preventative"
,nd who arc now engaged, as they deserve to be,
!, ovocations more pleasant and profitable, also
dronped in and gave US lift, for which we
thank them
The employees of this Office, in honor of their
triumph, in which they take an interest alto
Qether unknown outside, last night partook of
supper at the Metcalf House, kept by our young
friend G. T. MctcalE, The supper was prepared
in an abundant and superior manner, and we
have never seen greater degree of good feeling
manifested, nor an occasion fraught with moro
interest, than the present.
The entertainment was us credia6le to "mine
host" as delightful to the participants The di-
minutivc disciples of Aud ClOotie' were in high
glcc on the occas. The editors threw off
their dignity and the printers and intermediate
dignitaries, including the respected and versa
tile Judge" went i'll lively. There was little
speech making, and few sarcastic thrusts at
their vanquished foes, were INDUCED in by the
printers, which were regarded as quite natural
on such IN occasion, if not altogether magnani-
nous. The following some of the tOasts Of
fcred:
ProDrictors Of the Iatel1igencer-M they
long live-the one to WELD the pen, the other
the stick.
The IateVigencer-First out with the mes
sagc-Bcating an hundred eyes, cropping their
way with dark Mntern.
Our Triumph.-The occasion reminds us OF
the song:-"HARD Times come again no more p
Tie IntclligencCr-May it always be as it is
tonight-alread Of the Times!
The job QJtee Department.-He gallant bri-
gale came to the rescue tO-day-(but here one
Of the devils addeGl-
And the gallant Frew
Putthe whole thing through.
The "Chip"-The "forco" submits meeE-ly
TO its defeat
Tie Jadgc-May he continue to enjoy the
suffrage OF his constituents, and the respect
Of his fellow craftsmen.
In response to this, the Judge arose evidently
overpowered [by the generous sentiment of the
toast, VIC supposc) and said he had no other
ambition than to be worthy the respect of those
around around him and hoped he should always
be able to present clean record. He contnu-
ed at some length, branching off upon popular
sovereignty and the Immortality of the soul.
The toasts were all responded to briefly and APP
propriatcly, aud the sentiments they promulga-
ted met with evidences of appreciation around
the table, Altogether the occasion was one OF
much pleasantly and savored of the character
is;ic good fellowship Of the craft.
AT seasonablc hour all went to their respec-
tive homes, at least they started to do so and we
heard of but one intimation to the contrary
That was in the case Of u ranting, roaring, al
ways indiscrect but good hearted "Bill''-a bad
bill, some say, for he cannot pass-a grog-shop
without going in.
