He pourAyed in glowing colours the duties of American citizens, and concluded by ?n addrcs* to tRe Military. The company then retired to a plentiful dinner, prepared by Mr. Jessee Brown, at ?*hich nothing but harmony and feelings, purely American prevailed. The foliuwmg Toasts were drank, followed by rounds hom Cipt. Potts* Riflemen. TOASTS. 1. The day xoe erle&rate? Tts dawn has n?\er been overcast; may its meridian illuminate the woild. 2. The V. S. ?
