The speeches were all rsFturously cheer

evening. The greatest curiosity was felt
to see and hear the man who, single ham

saw and heard him, and were alternately
held in GREATNESS suspense and convused
with laughter, during bis entire speech

have disturbed the sleep Of the Jackson's,
awsy.pp in the Boon's Lick country.
But for reasons stated in the outset l
must close.
