is,s t lA' -'' . 'Tilt it 'was at their •
s banets the Romans
.- d i - r sts isses sst. • splayed the greatest luxury and extrava
larK ' price. No people ever thought more of the
s tritk, pleasures o f the table. And the prodigality
• °Auif 1. was seen not only in the indulgence of the
s. .deg` • •
ses palate bythe choicest dainties, but in ar
s Te es • tides which commrinded, from their rarity,
the higheiit prices. They not only sought to
s It eat daintily, but to increase their capacity
• . -, '. 1 by unnatural means. The maxim, "It fact
`,.titie, , mangerpour vivre of non pas vivre pour
Vi.., .r manger,' was reversed. At the fourth hour
d's.s.` ' , they btsakfasted on bread, grapes, olives and
b‘,.'''' ~,'' cheese and eggs; at the sixth, they lunched
9.,..` : 1 ' still more heartily; and at the ninth hoer
4 frE;
if l iss, they dined; and this meal, the czena, was
•. the . principal one, whici,i consisted of three
s "
'!,,„ . i' parts : .The first—the gustus—was made up
•: - ,1,.` of dishes to provoke an appetite, shell-fish
and iliquant sauces; the • second—the
si, ,
' fercult—composed of different courses; and
' -. the third—a dessert/ a mensw—composed of
'.',''''• s fruits and pastry. Fish were the chief object
4.,',, ;, of the Roman epicures, of which the mulles,
s
. .s s - .s' 4. the rhombus and the aszelus were the most
k . i si - I'' ,'s it. valued. It is recorded that a mullus (sea liar
ssirS4,, ' .') .' bel), weighing but eight pounds, sold for eight
r 7. , . ., .) thousand sesterees. O; titers from the Lueriac
''' .. Lake were in great demand. Snails were IA
t
in ponds for the purpose, while the villas of
s 5. , .' the rich had their piscinte filled with fresh or
•'s ) ks i ' v salt water fish. Peacocks and pheasants
' . were the most highly esteemed among
poultry, although the absurdity prevailed
of , eating singing birds. Of quadru
peds, the greatest favorite was the wild
boar, the chief dish of a grand ctena, and
came whole upon the table, and the praeticed •
gourmand pretended to distinguish by the
taste from what part ofltaly it came. Dishes,
the very name of which excite disgust, were
used at fashionable banquets, and held in
high esteem, Martial devotes two entire
books of his "epigrams" to the various dishes
and ornaments of a Roman banquet. He
,'refers to almost every fruit and vegetable and
meat that we now use—to cabbages, leeks,
turnips, asparagus, beans, bee,ts,peas, lettuce,
radishes, mushrooms, truffles, pulse, lentils,
among vegetables;to pheasants, ducks, doves,:
geese, capons, pigeons, partridges, peacocks,
Numidian fowls, cranes, woodcocks, swan',
among birds; to mullets, lampreys, turbots,
oysters, prawns, chars, murices, gudgeons,
pikes, sturgeons, among fish; to raisans, figs,.
quinces, citrons, dates, plums, olives, apri
cots, among fruit; to sauces and condiments;
to wild game,and to twenty different kinds of
wine; on all of which he expatiates
_like au
epicure. lie speaks of presents made to
guests at,feasts, the tables of ivory and parch
ment, the dice-boxes,style cases, tooth-picks,
golden hair-pins, combs,
ponnatum, paras fis.
oil flasks tooth powder balms and perfumes,
slippers, dinner couches, citron tables, an
tique vases, gold chase cups, snow strainers,
jeweled and crystal vases, rings, spoons, scar
let cloaks, table covers,Cicilian socks, pillows,
girdles, aprons, mattresses. lyres, bath-bells,
statues, masks, books, musical instruments,
and other articles of taste, luxury or neces
sity. The pleasures of the table, however,
are ever uppermost in his eye, and the luxu
ries of those whom he could not rival, but
which he reprobates: si ., ..,
"Nor mullet delights thee, nice Betic, nor
thrush.;
'The hare with the sent, nor the boar with the
tusk ;
No sweet cakes or tablets, thy taste so absurd,
Nor Libya need send thee, nor rhasis, a bird.
But capers and onions, besoaking,in brine,
And brawn of a gammon scarce doubtful and
thine.
01 garbage, or ilitch of hour tunny, thou'rt
vain ;
The rosin's.thy joy, the Falernian thy bane."
Ile, thus describes a modest dinner, to
• - which he, a poet, invites his friend Turantus:
"If you are suffering from dread of a melan
choly dinner at home, or would take a pre
paratory whet, come and leilet , with me. You
will find no want of Cappadocian lettuces and
strong leeks. The tunny will lurk 'seder'
slices of eggs, a cauliflower not enough to •
burn your fingers, and which his just lett the
garden, will be served fresh on a black plat
ter, white sausages will-float on snow-white
porridge, and the pale bean will 'accompany
the red-streaked bacon. In the second
course, raisins will be set before you, and
,• . pears which pass - for Syrian, and roasted
chestnuts. The wine you will prove in
drinking it. 4fter all this, excellent olives
si will come to your relief, with the hot vetch
' ? , and the tepid lupine.
4 "-' Next to the pleasures of the table, the pas
d' lion sion for expensive furniture seemed to be the
41 , , . • prevailing folly. We read of couches gem
&. , rued with tortoise shells, and tables of citron
its , t,.. , wood from Mlles. Silver and gold vases.
0 : Tables also, of Mauritanian marble, sup
, ported on pedestals of Lybian ivory; cups of
ni" crystal; ail sorts of' silver-plate, the master
pieces of alsro, andthe handiwork of l'raxi
teles, and the engravings of Phidias. Gold
services adorned the sideboard. Couches
were covered with purple silks; chairs elabo
rately carved; costly , mirrors hung against
• the walls, and bronzed lamps were sus
pended from the painted ceilings. But it

"We were in a sort of valley perhaps fifty

rocky hills peppered with snow; immediately
on our right was a sort of wall of lava, black

beyond this in some places away from the
streams the surface had fallen away, and -a
great space like as immense forge, 'With
stones rolling over it, was-visible. The
heat of the lava was so great, though we did
not stand actually at the base of the

posed of .tine ashes, and was quite cold. In

Insapid Sermons—What a Dean Says.
.The Dean of Carlisle has' published a paper
on "Insipid Sermons," read by him at a pri
vate conference of the Evangelical Union
of the diocese of Carlisle England, held in
that city recently. The thesis submitted to
Dr. CI 4,e by the committee had been, "What
are the causes which have led to te corn
plaint of the insipidity of the modern pulpit?
How far this complaint is just? What is
wanted in order to raise the tone of preaching
generally in the Church of England. ?".
Upon the first two of these propOsitions the
dean acknowledges he can give no satisfac
tory or practical answer. One thing, how
ever, is certain—that in the complaint there
is nothing peculiar to our times. Speaking
generally, nothing could be more capricious,
inconsistent or unfair than many of the opin
ions passed by the press or by individuals
. upon preachers and their sermons; and in
ninny instances the fault lies with the hearers
themselves. But, fearing that any conclu
sion at which he might arrive relativd to
these first two questions must be in a great
measure speculative an uncertaio,he proceeds
to the solution of the third question, "Whatis
.wanted in order to raise the tone of preach
. ing generally in the Church of England?" He
begins this investigation with a consideration
of the character and principles of the preacher
himself.
" 'Deeply am I persuaded,' says the dean,
`that almost all the important deficiencies
observed and lamented in modern sermons
must thus be traced to the heart, the secret,
individual experience of the preacher himself.
It is much to be lamented, though, as I fear,
quite unavoidable, that young men especially
arc corupelled to preach and to teach when
it were better for themselves and others that
they were yet permitted time to .study and to
learn much about men and things and their
own souls.' But in another point of view,
the personal and private every-day character
of the pastor has much to do with the effect
of his preaching; and next in importance to
the character of the preacher himself is the
nature of his previous preparation. Without
this the composition must be, in the truest
sense of the word, 'insipid.' If I were re
quired in two words,' continues the dean, 'to
give the principal cause of dull, insipid, un
edifying sermons, I should say, I hope with
out ofience, but in all sincerity, and faithful
ne*s;-' indolence and idleness in the "study.' He
said:
" 'All kinds of disagreeable sounds may be
heard in our pulpits, from the monotonous
sing-song - of the ritualist, to the ravings of the
meeting-house; but the most common evil of
all is dull uniformity; which, in reading the
service, travels on through confession, and
adoration, and praise, and creed, in one dis
mal unison of expression, without emphasis
or variety; and in the pulpit continues the
same unmeaning sounds, though subjects of
the most profound and thrilling interest may
be so conveyed. Artificial extremes are
always to be avoided; but why should re
lined, correct and appropriate speaking be
cultivated at the bar, in the senate and on the
stage, while it is neglected or despised in the
pulpit ? it can only be accounted for by the
traditional notion, derived from a bygone,
slumbering age, that everything in religion
and in the church should be reduced to a dull
Uniformity. But be this as it may, lam bold
t;) ae.sert that all other suggestions for impart
ing new life to our pulpit exercises will be
tendered nugatory if precision of utterance,
(tit:iambs of voice and enunciation, suitable
i tul,r‘ SSiVOlleBB, and earnestness of manner be
neglected or despised.'
Eashionable Dinner Party in Abys
minim'.
A. great degree of skepticism has been en
'tertained in regard to the mode of supplying
brinde or raw meat to the guests of the fash
ionable parties at Gondar, the capital of Abys
sinia. When the company have taken their
seats at the table, a cow or bull is brought to
the door, and his feet strongly tied; after
which the cooks proceed to select the most'
delicate morsels. Before killing the animal,
all the flesh on the buttocks is cut off in solid
square picces„without bones or much effusion
of blown
Two or three servants are then employed,
who, as fast as they can procure. brinde, lay
'it upon cakes of tell placed like dishes down
the table, without cloth or anything else be
neath them. By this time all the guests have
knives in their hands, and the men prefer
the large crooked ones, which in the time of
war they put to all sorts of uses. The com
pany are so ranged that one gentleman sits
between two ladies; and the former, with his
long knife, begins by nutting a thin piece,
which would be thought a good steak in Eng
land, while the motion df the fibres is yet
perfectly distinct.
In Abyssinia no man of any fashion feeds
,himself' or touches his own meat. The wo
men mite the ash and cut it lengthwise like
strings, about the thickness of one's little
finger; then crosswise into square pieces
somewhat smaller than dice. This they lay
upon a portion of the Leff bread, strougiy
powdered with blaciLpepper, or cayenne_ and
fossil salt, and then wrap it up like a cart
ridge. In the meantime, the gentleman,
having put up his knife, with each hand rest
ing upon his neighbor's knee, his body stoop
ing, his head low and forward and mouth
open very like an idiot, turns to the one
whose cartridge is first ready, who stuffs the
whole of it between his jaws at the imminent
risk of choking him.
This is a mark of grandeur. The greater
the man would seem to ,be, the larger is the
piece which he takes into his mouth, the more
noise he makes in chewing it, the more polite
does he prove himself. None but beggars and.
thieves, say they, cat small pieces in silence.
having despatched this naorsol,which he does
very expeditiously, his neighbor on the other
hand holds forth a- second pellet, which he
devours iu the same way, and so on till he is
satisfied.
lie never drinkstill hk has finished eating;
. and before he begins,iii gratitude' to the fair
ones who have fed him, he, makes up two
small rolls of the same kind and form, each
of the ladies opens her mouth atonce, while
with his own hand he supplies a portion to
,bOthit the same moment. Then - commence
`the potations which, we aro assured, are not
regulated with much regard to sobriety or
decorum. All this time the unfortunate vic
tim at the door is bleeding,hilt bleeding little;
for so skillful are the butchers, that while
they strip the bones of tb.c flesh, they avoid

AFFAIRS IN TILE SOUTH.
General Howard, Commissioner of the Freed nee', ,
Bureau, has received a report from Brevet Brigadier-
General Sewnll, Acting. - Asslitant : Inspector-General,
dated Bony Springs,
• Misslssippl, December 2il, and
giving a statement of a late tour of Inspection through
the States of South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi.
With regard to matters in Georgia; General 'Sewall
states that they are generally in a satisfactory condi
tion. in the upper counties the freedmen ar : doing
but the reports from the lower counties and the
southern part of the State indicate that there is some
lawlessness among them, resulting from the unsettled
condition of affairs In that part of the State.
The planters are unable to nay their hands, thus pro
ducing discontent, and, no doubt, in many instances
the freedmen haVe sought remedy forsupposed wrongs
In act's of violence, but this hag prevailed to no great
extent, and General Sewall had learned of no serious
outbreak. The complaints aro that the negroes
plunder, and,' in some instances, Seize the cropti for
their wages. ,
General Lewis was to leave Atlanta for that part of
the State on, the 30th ult. to personally investigate
hese complaints and inaugurate measures to prevent
their recurrence.
General Sewall also writes that at present there is
little or no destitution in that State and no need o f
aid, except to the hospitals and asylums. The Super.
intendent of Schools is prosecuting the work vigor.
ously and with the most practical results. Genera
Sewall bad had a long interview with General Ord, in
relation to matters in Mississippi, as also with citi
zeris and persons from different parts of the State.
lie expresses some difference of opinion with Gen
eral Ord as to there being much cause for apprehen_
'ion of serious trouble there. Considerable appre
hension is manifested of a negro insurrection. It is
said that there are organizations for that purpose, but
General Sewell has discovered no evidences of each.
lie thinks that during the winter there will be consid
erable destitution along the river counties, and gov
ernment aid may be required to prevent suffering.
POBTXAbTER-GIZER.AL.
The Postmaster-General has addressed a letter to
the Director-General of the Posts of France, in which
he says that recent approved arrangements for the
exchange of correspondence between the United
States end Great Britain, and. between the United
States and several countries on the continent of Ba
rope, have now gone into effect, and the changes
which have been made by the recent conventions ren
(ler it desirable, and, in fact necessary, to revise and
modify any provisions of the existing poetal conven
tion between the United States and France. The
Po:Am:v.ler- General informs the Director-General of
his desire to avail. himself of the power reserved by
article seventeen of the postal convention between the
United States and France, signed at Washington In
March, Ibti7, to abrogate the same by a previous no
tice of one year, and he accordingly conveys to him
the wish and Intention of the Department that the
articles of the said convention shall cease to hive
effect on the Ist of February,

Democratic Banquet in Washington.
WASHINGTON', Jan. 8, 1868.
The Fifty-third Anniversary of the Battle of New
Orleans was celebrated by a banquet thiS evening, at
the Metropolitan Betel, in this city, at which the Pres
ident, some of the heads of departments, most of the
Democratic members of Congress, and many dirt' in
guihhed guelita were present. A eoinpany of about 300
sat down to dinner. The dining hall was appropriately
decorated. Tho columns were covered with the na
tional bunting, and two largolaintinge of Jackson
and Clay hung at either side of the table of honor.
The Bon. Judge Dunlop presided.
In assuming that position, he said that the occasion
recalled to memory the immortal Jackson, who, with
• a Southern army, won the great battle which closed
the second War of Independence, and whom a grate
•hd people had twice elevated to the Chief Magistracy.
Jackson know how to maintain the lawf al authority
'of the Federal Union, and the just rights of the
States, because ha always maintained the Constitu
tion of the United States. -He was a disciple of Jet
ferson--a true Democrat. Ile abhorred a consolida
tion and the centralization of unlimited power. What
contrast had since been seen. A great civil war
had raged and bad been put down by the power of the
Federal arms. The South now lay prostrate, disarmed,
impoverished, and desolate, seeking admission again
into the Union, and ready to submit and obey ti4e
laws. It was apparent that she had no further power
to resist.
The Executive was ready to receive her. Should
•bo be trampled on; now that she was down.
The instinct of manhood revolted at such
an idea. [Applause.] Should the people degrade
themselvr s by subjecting the South to the rule of her
former slaves, and making hose slaves the associates
companions and political equals of the men of the
Nortlit Never; no, never.' [Applause . ] ,Thstirpation of
Congress in the passage of the reconstruction acts
was a crime against the Constitution. and against the
civilization of the age. [Applause.] He appealed to
the people to battle and defeat by the balot that
usurpation. In thia they would have the powerful
aid .of their noble President, Andrew Johnsen,
(Cheers,) whom the. Almighty , had endowed with
courage and ability to stand in the breach, and to up
hold the Union and Constitution. Might they not
hope and true, that the Almighty. Ruler of the
'Universe would crown his efforts "'with Flumes, and
thronuk the ballot at the yells make the American
- people live once free, united and happy. [Applause.]
After this opening speech the company sot to work

The attempted Afrleanization of the ten Southern
States tinder the lake pretense of reconstruction of
the Ilnit.n; the utter subversion or the Constitute in to
accomplish this end; the profligacy rind corruption per
vading many branches of the public service, have
brilight out their proper 'results. The reaction
against the im'olutionmy violence' and license . the
past few years, has at last commenced.
Its progress will be aided by a worthy cuntemplation
of the Me cud character of Jackson—of his fervent
patriotism, his persistent edergy his unyielding
courage; of the fidelity with which he maintained
the rights and dignity and egnality of States, stifle
same time that he enforced obedience to the
Constitution. . .

It will be well to remember by whom and where and
for what purpose the last b.ttle of the War or 1812

place the tact that the State then saved from a for .ign

control its people to adopt a Constitution welch they
do not approve, and to establish Institutions which
they abhor.

431NTLE7sEN : I regret that I cannot attend the bans
onet to be given on the Bth instant, in the City of
Washington, under the auspices of the " National
Democratic Resident Committee," in commemoration
of the battle of New Orleans.
The celebration of the anniversary of that victory,
achieved over a foreign foe. on Southern soli, by
Souti ern soldiery, tinder the immortal Jackson, can
not fail to revive and strengthen sentiments of nation

The descendants of the men who won that great
battle are now living under a tyranny more oppressive
than England ever exercised over any of her colonies.
There is not a people on the earth upon whose necks
the yoke of despotism beam so heavily ae does the ar
bitrary rule of Congress upon the Southern people.
The spirit of hatred which directs the reconstruction
policy (so called) of the Radical Congress, le at war
with every principle of liberty, every dictate of ha
inanity, and all toe principles of the Christian re

The result of the Congressional policy may 'already

want and suffering which pervade the country, and the
onerous taxes which oppress the people.
Opposed to the action of Congress is the wise, patri.

Under this the country was fast recovering from the
ravages of war; and, had his counsels prevailed, the
Union would long since have been restored all the
States represented, business revived, the industrial
pursuits re-established, commerce resuscitated, and
prosperity and happiness would exist where now all is
gloom and despondency. The conservative men of

most violent opposition a public man ever encoun

FROM SECRETARY secum.oen.
TREASURY DEYARTMENT, Jan. 6., 181;8.—Dear
Sir: Your note of tilOtlst nit. is received, in
closing an invitation to .me to be present at the
meeting to be held at the Metropolitan Hotel, in
this city, on the evening of the Bth inst., for the
Opurpose of commemorating the battle of New
rleans, and the gallantry of the distinguished
general and the citizen soldiery by whom It was
won.
Other engagements prevent me from accepting
your complimentary invitation, but I take plea
sure in saying in this manner that I heartily
sympathize with the hope expressed in the ac
companying printed letter, - That in celebrating
the occasion of such imperishable renown for the
American name, happier memories will be
awakened, and that the magnanimity of the na
tion may be roaroused to a noble sympathy - for
the descendants of those who—`as beine of our
bone and flesh of our flesh'—so nobly illustrated
the patriotism and prowess of the American
citizen."
There never has been a period in the history of
the United States when a broad and comprehen
sive nationality of sentiment was so greatly
needed as at the present time. It is deeply to be
deplored that the passions which were excited
between the sections during the recent war have
not been succeeded by kindness and magna
nimity on the part of the victors and acquiescence
in the result on the part of the vanquished; that
the avowed purposes for which the war was
prosecuted on the part of the Government seem
to have been forgotten by so many of our fellow
citizens, and that the condition of the Southern
States has in nowise been improved since hostili
ties were ended.
It may not be proper for me in this communi
cation to discuss what is called the question of
"reconstruction s " or to condemn or criticise the
opinions or action of my old political friends in
regard to it. This much, however, I deem it my
duty to say. that I cousider the restoration to the
Southern States of equal rights with the other
States under the Constitution as essential to the
existence of our republican institutions. and to
the improvement, if not the maintenance of the
national credit. and that in my judgment this
is unlikely to be effected by any policy differing
materially from that which was substantially in
augurated by Mr. Lincoln, and attempted to be
consummated by the present Executive.
As civil liberty is not the offspring of military
power. but Is in danger of being destroyed in
stead of being fostered by it, I have not favored
the establishment of military governments in the
Southern States, as a true Union sentiment is
not to be renewed in these States by a general
ostracism of their prominent and trnstworthy.
m 11; 1 have regarded with great apprehension
the enactment and continuance of laws which
exclude from federal offices and from the ballot
citizens of ability. integrity and influence, with
out whose co-operation a reliable reunion of the
States is not to be expected.
And believing, as I do, that the question of
suffrage should be controlled by the States, and
not by the Federal Government, and that the
elective franchise cannot be safely bestovVed upon
a race recently in bondage, and with few excep
lions, utterly unprepared to use it intelligently,
I have deeply regretted the legislation which de
prives a part of the States of rights heretofore en
joyed by them, and still exercised by others, and
which, by Ignoring all distinction between races
so dissimilar, and by its sweeping disfranchise
ment of certain classes,virtually subordinates the
superior to the interior race. .
I gave to the executive policy of "reconstruc
tion" my hearty approval before it became a
party question, and I have never doubted its wis
dom or its practicability. A different policy has
been adopted, and is now being tried. Should It
be successful in restoring a true Udion sentiment
in the Southern States,in stimulating industry, in
increasing production, and in establishing har
mony between the races, the wisdom of. Congress
will be fully vindicated. and its action will be ap
proved by the people, and by none more heartily
than by those who now disapprove it.
Should it fail in accomplishing these most desi
rable results the embarrassment and suffering
which now exist must be endured for a season,
and they will doubtless bo aggravated by their
continuance, but they will not be lasting. The
difPrent sections of the United States are not to
be permanently antagonized, nor is the essondal
character of our institutions to be changed by
the war, nor' by the troubles which have fol
lowed it, nor by those which are still to be en-
countered.
Where is power enough in the Government to
stand any teits to which it may be subjected, and
intelligence enough in the people to correct any
errors that may have been committed by their
agents.
Hoping that the celebration of the Bth of Jaw.-
ary in Washington and elsewhere, by awakening
agreeable and patriotic memories of the past,
may tend to excite throughout the country a
true Union sentiment, I am, very truly, your
obedient solvent,

First. The Eighth of January, 1815: An era In our

Second. The;Mettler . ) . of Andrew Jackson: A great
general: a greater statesman and magistrate.
Third. The Federal Union: An exclusively, civil es
tabllnliment, founded on freedom and law
• Fourth. The President of the United States: Con
demned by the envenomed partisan and fanatic, but
sustained by every generous and just mind. and by the
sober second thought of a great people.
Fifth. The Supreme Court of the United States:
Established to preserve the Constitution from viola
tic : usurpers would exclude it from its functions.
Sixth. The Conservative Members of Congress:
The faithful And vigilant guardians of the Constitu
tion.
Seventh. The Army and Navy: Whilst subordinate
to the Constitution they will he cherished and relied
upon by their countrymen; should they ever become
the instruments of usurpation, their countrymen must
rely upon themselves.
Eighth. The Thirty-seven Coequal States of the
Union : No power can rightfully displace one of them

Ninth. The Constitution: A compact of perpetual
Union; when disturbed it needs no reconstruction,
but only the removal of an obstruction.
Tenth. Representation in Congress : Not only a

Eleventh. Our Foreign Policy : Equal and exact jus

Fourteenth. The Veto Power: A Constitutional
trust confided in the President to protect the people
against the unwise or inconsiderate acts of their ser

Fifteenth. The Government of the United States:
The exclusive creation and property of the white
man; he is a traitor to his race who seeks to transfer
it to an inferior order of beings; and a traitor to the
Constitution who attempts to do this by the usurpa
tion of a power by Congress which that instrument has
left exclusively with the several States.
Sixteenth. A Free Press: An institution indispen.
sable to the preservation of public liberty.
Seventeenth. The Women of our Race: The best

join in the conspiracy for debasing the blood of that
race. • t
After the reading of the letters, the toast to the
memory of Andrew Jackson, a great general, a greater
statesman and magistrate, was announced by Colonel
Thomas B. Florence, and duly honored.
The next toast. the Eighth of January, 1815, an
era in our national life, worthy of perpetual
commemoration, was responded to by the Hon.
Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania, ex-Attorney-
GeneraL He said there was no day in the year ex
cept the fourth of July that ought to be kept so sacred
as the Bth of January, and that except the Father Of
his Country, there was no name known among men
which was entitled to higher reverence than that of
Andrew Jackson. [Applause.] The life of Andrew
Jackson was one long battle with the enemies of con
stitutional freedom. [Applause.] He had been as
sailed with every species of slander, and even' to this
day the foal birds who bad screamed •around him in
his life time, and others hatched from the same stock,
liked to degrade and defile him. One of the most
injurious aspersions heaped on him was that
by which the Radical party had attempted to make
him authority for their own attempts to trample on
liberty and law. If there was any truth in that asper
sion, then was General Jackson utterly unworthy of
the honor which the American people, all over the
country were at this moment bestowing upon him.
Referring to the proclamation by General Jackson
of martial law in New Orleans, he said that that was
•no fiction, as war actually existed then, and he de-
dared that Jackson's acts in . New Orleans bore no
sort of resemblance to the wanton outrage of declaring
martial law for the mere purpose of trampling down
the law of the land at places where there were no
military operations going on. [Applause.]
President Johnson made the following arfreCeil
in response to a toast:"'
Gentlemen: If I appear before you in responses
to.the sentiment just expressed, it is not for the
purpose of addressing yon, and I shall do nothing
more on the present occasion than to repeat what
I gave utterance to just twelve months ago on
an occasion like this. I have spoken in various'
ways which I think are intelligible and under
stood by the whole country. [Cheers.]
