Introduction '4l: Yelikoe Pm* . into

At the late 't= Fesiirtil held in
Boston, Hon. Robert 0 Winthrop deliv
ered the address, in the course of which
he related the following' interesting his
torical incident :—" During the negoti
ation, at Ghent, of that treaty of peace
to which I have just alluded, a festival
or banquet, or it may have been a ball,
was about to take place, at
. which
. it
wail proposed to pup the customary
musical' compliment to all the sover
eigns whp were either present, or rep
resented on the occasion. The Sover
eign People of the United Statei-.--rup
resented there, as you remember, by
Mr. Adams, Mr. Bayard, Mr. clay, Mr.
Jona. 'Russell, and jar. Gallatin—were !
of course; not to be overlooked ; and
the musical cimductor or bandmaster of
the place called upon these Kimmission
ers to furnish him with our national
air. Our national air, said they, is
Yankee Doodle. Yanl:ee Doodle, said
•the conductor, what is that ? Where
j shun I final it ?" By whom was it com - -
posed ? Can you supply me with the
score ? The perplexity of the Commis
sioners may be, better cmieeived than
described. They were fairly at their
wit's ends. They had never imagined
that they should have licores of this sort
to settle, and each turned to the other
in despair. At last they bethought
them, In a happy moment, that there
was a colored servant of Mr. Clay's,
who like so many of his race was u first
rate whistler, and who was certain to
know Yankee Doo d le by .heart. lie
