BOSTON.

We perceive in our Boston papers the following toast of the Mayor, Josiah Quincy, at the public dinner at Faneuil Hall, on the anniversary of the Examination of the Public Schools:

"The President of the United States, once the pride of our schools, but now the pride of the nation."

Last year, on the same anniversary, at the same place, John Q. Adams made an ebony and topaz speech, in which he spoke of the same Josiah Quincy, who is now tickling his elbow, as the "worthy representative of the Josiah Quincy of the American revolution." The following are the grounds of Josiah Quincy's claim to be held up before the youth and people of our country, as the worthy representative of a revolutionary patriot:

1. Josiah Quincy moved, without being able to find any one to second him in Congress, the impeachment of THOMAS JEFFERSON, the author of the Declaration of American Independence; and who has been denounced by John Q. Adams as the false prophet, "the Islam of democracy."

2. Josiah Quincy made, in Congress, the celebrated New-England threat, "peaceably if we can; forcibly if we must;" and Clay called this worthy representative of a revolutionary patriot, "the representative of the Essex Junto, the British pack;" and also said of him, that he "soiled the carpet on which he stood."

3. Josiah Quincy moved, in the Senate of Massachusetts, the resolution (since expunged from the records, as a disgrace to the state) that "it was unbecoming a moral and religious people to rejoice in the victories of their own country, over a nation which our 'old friend Gov. Strong;' (as he is called by the elder Adams, in the Cunningham Letters, as late as 1808) pronounced in one of his religious proclamations, the bulwark of the religion we profess."

4. Josiah Quincy, in the Senate of Massachusetts, in 1814, voted in favor of the resolutions for calling the Hartford Convention, and the name of this worthy representative of a revolutionary patriot, stands recorded among the yeas, in favor of calling the Hartford Convention.

5. Josiah Quincy, when a judge, in a pulpit speech in Faneuil Hall, in favor of the election of Harrison G. Otis, the Hartford Convention candidate for Governor, in 1823, pronounced the democrats "the scum of the pot."

6. Josiah Quincy, on the occasion of John Q. Adams's election, by gigantic fraud, to the presidency, gave the following toast:

"The Political Regeneration - those who fell with the first Adams rise with the second."
