Twelve friends, inuch about the"”:‘§!!!t‘1e
all permanent inhabitaiits of the inetrtiprilis,
agreed, one day when they “Wel"e drinliins.
their wine at the Star and Garterat Rich-‘
mood, to institute an annuéil dinner '_amo'ng
themselves, under the following regjtla-_
tions: Thatthey should dine alternately
at each others _houses on the-first and —‘_last ,
day of tlrevyear; that the first borrlelrof;
wine uncorked at the first dinner, should be?
recorked and put away, to lie‘rl'rank' by"hii‘n 7
who should be the last, of their numberl ;;'
that they shoulrl never admit anew mem-l
her, that when one died, eleven were to[
meet, and so on ; and that when only one
remained, he should on those-two‘ days,‘
dine by hinrself, and sit the usual hours at s
his solitary table‘, but the ‘first time he sol
dined alone, lest it should be the only one,
heshquld-.-their uncork the first? bottle,‘ "and?
in the .first.gllass, drink to the memory uf‘a‘ll;
wholwerezgone. I ~ ‘ " - ‘
.. There was something original and whim-,
sical in the idea, and itfiwas eagerly em-l
braced V They were all in the prime of,
life, closely attached by reciprocal ‘friend-.§
ship, fondof social enjoyments, arid looked .
for ward to their future meeting with unal-
loyed feelings of pleasure. The only.
thought, indeed,V.tliatlcould have darkened‘
those anticipations, was one not likely to -
intrude itself atthis niomeht, that -of the
hapless wiglit who was destined‘ to uncork
the first glass at his |on'elyVrep.ist. ’
. It was high summer when this froliccorn-V
pact was entered into; and as their plea-
sure yacht skiniined airing the dark bosom
of the Tliairie_s-‘, on their return to_London,~
they,«talked.of nothing but their first and
last feasts of ensuing years. Their imagin-
ations ran out with u tliousand-gay predic-
tions of festive merriment. v'.Tlieyr wanton-
ed in conjectures of what changes time
would create, '
“As for you, George,” exclaimed one of
the twelve, addressing his brotlier-in-law,
“I expect] shall see you as dry, withered
and s_hru'nVken as an old eel .skin,,yriur mere
outside of,a man_'!”.an,d he a_('(}t_)_ltllNliled
the "words with a hearty slap on the ‘shoul-
der ‘ . ‘ . ’ .
George_Fortescue was leaning carelessly
over the side of the yacht, laughing the
loudest'of any at the cont-'.ersat_iou which
had been carried on.‘ Thelsudden manurrl
salutation of his brother-iii-law tlii‘ew"hiiii
off his balance, and in a moment he was
overboard. They heard the V heavy ,,s.plasb
of his tall, before they could be said to have
seen him f_all,,‘ The yaclit was proceeding
swiftly along; but it wasinstantlystoppzvl
The u most consternation now prevxuiled.
It was nearly dark, but _ Fortescue was
known to be an excellent, swimme , and
startliugfas the accident was, they felt cer
tain lie would regaiii the vessel; They
could not see him They listened. They
heard the sound of his hands and-leet. An
answer was returned, but in a frtllll, gur-
gling voice, and the exclamation ‘Oh God ll
s:ruck upon their ears. In an instant, two
or three,‘ who \\ ere expert swiiirriiei's,_
plunged into the river and strain towards
the spot vi hence the exclamation had pro-
ceeded. One of them was within arms
length of Fortescue; he saw him ; before
he could be reached, he \\ cut down, and
his distracted friend beheld the eLlLI_\‘lllg cir-
cles of the wavejust over the spot where
he had sunk." I-Ie dived after him, and
touched the bottom ; but thelide must liave
drifted the body onward, for it could not
be found ! _
They proceeded to one of the nearest
stations where drags were kept, and having
procured the necessary ap_p-aratus, they pro-
ceeded to the fatal spot. After the lapsel
of above an hour, they succeeded in raising l
the lifeless body of their lost friend. All‘
the usual remedies were employed for re-
storing suspended animation, but in vain;
they now pursued the l'énlitltit_lel‘ of their
course to London, in mournful silence,
with the corpse of him who had commenced
the day of pleasure with them in the full-
ness of healtli,of spirits, and of life!
in their severe grief they could not butte-
fiect how soon one of the joyous twelve had _
slipped out of this little festive circle.
' The months rolled _on, and cold Decem-'
ber came with all its" cheering round of
kindly greetings and merry hospitalities;
and with it cameo softened recollection of
fhe__..~fate of poor._.For.tescue ;- eleven‘ ‘of the,
tvifelve assembled on the last day of ‘the’
year, and it was impossible not to feel their
loss as they sat down to dinner. The very;
irregularity of the table, five on one sidel
and six on the other,forceld the-melancholy
event U'[)0Illl.l’lell‘ memory. '
A decorous sigh or two‘, a low, becoming
ejaculation, and an instructive observation
upon the uncertainty of life, made up the
sum of tender posihumous “offering to‘ the
name of poor George Fortescue,” as they
proceeded to discharge thevinore importaiii
duties for which they had met. By the"
time the third glass of chainpague had gone

Fellow citizens, my opinions upon-the
great. national question now penrling,
the ‘election of a llresident and Vice Pres-
ident of the United States, have been
heretofore expressed by me in the hear-
ing of some of you. I do not propose
new to dwell at any leirgth upon that
general question. I presented it then,
and present it today, an a question with
two sides toVit; on the one std -, the elec-
tion of General 'laylor; on the other the
election of General Cass, as President of
the United States. If there be any third
part of this question, I cannot discern it.
Gentlemen, it is well known from my
own declaration as well as from other
sources, that. on general principles, I was
not advising nor recoriiiiienrling the nomi-
nation of Gen. Taylor, to the Wliigs, as
their ciiitdldiile for the l,’i'e,:irleiicy. On
ilre contrary, so or as is reasonable and
just, I opposed that nomination; but I did.

And, in one respect, I am sure that
every meiiiber of this rriceiiiig, and every
Whig of .l.V.IllSSllCllll.-‘t'liS, will .'ag_.~i'r:e with

it is proper to tricks that support gerrerrrus

more harm than good. Now, ge'iitle‘n'r'err,

services, may receive supper". from states

there is no doubt of. that- (Appl:iusc.)
