A SPEECH BY ISAAC II. BROMLEY.
One of the toasts was responded to by Isaac
H. Bromley, of New-Haven, Conn. After
some playful remarks touching the occasion, Mr.
Bromley said:
Pardon me- gentlemen if upon the froh of the passing
moment have seemed 10 treat the sentiment you have
assigned me in spirit evty that relates only to this
ana this convival scene. This Is mol the Time

which this occasion awakcns or the nObler ana oller
sentiments and emotions which IT inspires; but should
doing myself Injustice If did not at least III one serl-
word undertake In some Iant way 10 convey my
sense OF the presence in which stand cinot make 1t

the midst of actual war, and the whole world eahed Tor

from lakes and swinging down from all the N0rt
The picket line: catch the scntrys call The Army OF
the Potomac filings again and again against Rchmond;
Grant beats Nicksburg into submission; the sturdy
Thomas holds his Nashville; Sheridan goes Shirl-

PorM BY MIR. TOWNSEND.
A poem by George Alfred Townsend, "POtOmac'
was read. The following is an extract from the
poem:
AT th. Fairfax stone, set by washingon's hand
A fair little maiden was born:
Potomac they called her, as down through the iahd
she skipped like a mlk-maid at morn;
Through laurel TO grow INTO wreaths Tor her sons
She bark.d TO the soft sercnades
or bells ike the chapels that waEen the nuns,
From the cows In the nowcry glades
And soon at her side two playmates appeared,
Young buffers gentle as she;
The one like the roebuck In spirit ana Oearn
The other brisk as The bee: 80,
Each gave he hand and came on through the hlls'
And oresmed OF fair hsrvcsis ard cities and mills.
In the crystalline depths OF her breast.
Then grateful for plenty. and concord ana land.
They said: Let us build her a fane;-
And when il IL finished our freedom shall stand
In beauty and light on It's yane!'
Like a century plant amid labor aud care,
Like the bees slowly IuOudlng the comb
And cut like "a cameo in the blue air,
1t boomed in the glorious dome
But modelling freedom difference rose
What bonnie, her forehead should wrap
Said one: " In the plumes OF our Indian iOes;
Said In the PhTN glan cap go
Not sol" spoke the SCuthrOu, my bondmen may see
Ave let them =" tie NOrtnrOn stout stood;
They grapped In sight OF Potomac. and she
Was sprinked with brotheriy blood
Ye lads of Potomscl look up at the maid
We gave her imperial place!
her hmm has snrnnfrd hraIh.
