On Monday last the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of this Commonwealth, commanded by Major General Brooks, made their second autumnal parade agreeable to charter. The company marched from State-street at 12 o'clock for Medford. At Charlestown they were received by the Medford Independent Light-Infantry, under the command of Captain Hall, who escorted them to the place of destination. The Artillery there performed the requisite firings and evolutions, after which they dined at Blanchard's Tavern, and returned to this town at eight o'clock in the evening. Amongst the extemporaneous toasts drank on this occasion, were the following: 1st. General Washington, and the Federal Convention. 2d. The Constitution for the United States, reported by that Hon. Body. 3d. As OLD MASSACHUSETTS took the lead in the late glorious Revolution, may she be the first to give a sanction to the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION of Government. 9th. May the man who wantonly opposes the American Constitution, be marked as an enemy to the liberties of America.
