Mr. Blake rose and said, he was duly sensible of the compliment which the gentleman had just bestowed on him, and of the llattcring manner in which it had been received by the company, he returned his unfeigned thanks for the on merited act of kindness. He said it might be expected by some of the gentleman, that he would consider this an opportunity to give his views on the politics of the times, but he muted that a moments reflection wou d satisly every one that this was not an occasion suitable to such a purpose. As it h.d just been announced in one of the to.ista, this day was consecrated t liberty, it was the annual period which vc arc called on to devote to the memory of the gallant dead who achieved our independence. In greatful and affectionate attention to their few gallant comrades whom time has spared us, and in rejoicing that unuer the auspices of heaven we are still permitted to be a free and happy people. If under such circumstances he were to submit lus political opinions, infuse the bitter of party spirit into the effusions ot patriotism which was then freely flowing from the heart if he should in any manner interfere with those bonds of fraternal fuendship which all present seemed so cheerfully to acknowledge, he should consider himself highly culpable. He therefore looked to the indulgent feelings of the company for declining the effort, Sc hoped to be excused from any further remarks. J. C.
