PATRIOTIC TOAST OF
Washington, Jan. 8!—The anniversary of thebattle
of New Orleans, was celebrated to-nisht by a banquet
at the'National Hotel, under the auspices of tho Na
tional Democratic.Residcnt Committee. Among those
present, were Democratic members and cx-mcinbcrs
of Congress and’the Texas members of Congress elect.
Ex-Attorney General Jeremiah Black, Ex-Attorney
General Blair and his father, Franeis P. Blair Esq.
The last named gentleman presided over tho banquot.
Over one hundred seats at the tablo were occupied.^
At about 9 o’clock the President of the United States
entered the hall and was received with loud applause
and assigned a scat on the right of Mr. F. P. Blair.
Tho first toast presented, was: "The day we cele
brate and the event which made it a national annivci
sary.” The presiding officer read a paper appropriate
to the occasion. Hon. Montgomery Blair here pro
posed the health of the President of the United States,
which was received with three cheers. Tho Presi
dent, on rising, was again applauded. Ho said it was
not his purpose to make an address on this occasion
but only to propose a sentiment, which was as fol
lows :
THE PRESIDENTS TOXST.
"No State of its own will has a right under the con
stitation to renounce Its placo in,or to withdraw from
the Union nor has the Congressjof the United States
a constitutional power to degrade the peoplo of any
State by reducing them to the condition of A mere
territorial dependency upon the Federal head. Tho
one is a disruption and dissolution of the Government
the other is a consolidation and exercise of despotic
power. The advocate of either are alike tbe enemies
of the Union, and lot our constitutional form of Gov
eminent. f ,
Tho sentiment was very forcibly cheered. Senator
Hendricks responded to the third toast namely-
“The Federal Union—it must bo preserved.”
The fourth was “Andrew Johnson, the President
the United States; ho is now receiving the full meas
ure of that vltupertion which which was once met
ed out quito as lavishly to Jefferson and Jackson.”—
Senator Doolittio responded to this and spoke of the
centraliiing tendencies of the Government, the ,qucs
tion still remaining, he said whether or not the Fed
cral Union can be preserved.
The speeches were all of a "character in tensly op
posed to the present Radical sway, predicting that
the peoplo cannot much longer submit to these in-
croachments upon a freo Government.
But one solitary individual ma,ie ’& demonstration,
which con-istcd of three claps ,of the bands. This
