On Wednesday evening last, the Moral Philanthropists Society, celebrated the birth day of Thomas Paine, in this City. 

The morning was ushered in by a National Salute from Jefferson Plains and on Christian Hill, and at sun-set the salute was repeated from the same places. In the evening an elegant supper was served up in fine style by Mr. Bartlett, of the Mansion House, to about one hundred citizens. 

After thirteen toasts had been drank and a number of volunteer ones given the company separated at an early hour, after enjoying “the feast of reason and the flow of soul,” to the satisfaction of all.
