| Dir. Chairman and GeqtIenaen.-Allow me to
say, that, though am somewhat emb rrassed,
l feel myself no less honored in being called
upon to address you this evening However,
l may just say. that, as my observations will
be so very short they require no further pre-
| face. Scarcely two months have elapsed
since first | set my foot on the soil guarded
by the STARS and Stripes" so that l can
know very little of the manners and customs
of the people of this great country; still this
much do know (and it gives me great plea
in being able to state it when so many gem
tlemen are here met tOgether), that since my
lot has been cast amongst you, / have expe-
rienced at your hands the greatest courtesy,
frank and manly conduct. There is another
little thing that have peen enabled to see
from the occasion that has called us together
that none of the Americans like to be beaten;
and as this is also feature in the character
of the people of the Old World, will Just
conclude by expressing the same wish as your
President in his message, ''that neither peo-
pie will ever have occasion to fight"
After which, Mr.. DANIEL J. SEAMAN being
loudly called for, responded in vein of Irish
Humor. and proposed the following sentiment:
The Press. The "right-bower'' of Liberty
and Religion, tho fostering hand of Science
the civilizer of Mankind. The press Gang
may they live to an honored and siL,er age.
and may they act part through life, so that
when the hand of Death their eyes shall close,
and they are committed to their mother
Earth, their memory may be a lasting monu-
ment in the hearts of their fellOw-men.
Mr.. b. f. ARMSTRONG, in response to nu-
merous calls, addressed the assembly at length
and concluded with the following sentiment:
May a success like that which has this day
crowned your Patriotic efforts accompany you
though life. and may the Banner of Liberty,
Love and Literature float in triumph over
every laudable enterprise.
By w. p. MAY:
Long wave the Banner to Gazette the Neaos
to the world, and may its principles ever be
those Of genuine Patriot, whose heart and
soul is for the LIi,on.

May they, with a "Captain' Smith at their
head, always win 'em, (Winham) and have no
dark day in their CaLiendar, to force them to
Camp awhile in the wilderness, but like Jonas,
(Jones) be sure of 'the right up yonder"
The festival was brought to close by Mr..

silent pride, that well known verse from AuLa

"Shoud old acquaintance he forgot
And never bTough: O. mindy
Wen take cup Ia kindness yet
10 the days Of Aud Lang Syne.o
