THE MAN OF FASHION.
W H AT is a modern man of fashion ?
A man of taste and dissipation :
A busy man without employment,
A happv man without enjoyment ;
Who squander # all his time and treasures
On empty joys and tasteless pleasures ;
Visits, attendants and attention,
And courtly aits too low to mention.
In sleep, ar.d dress, and sport, and play
i He throws his worthless life away ;
; Has no opinion of his own,
But takes from leading beaux the ton :
Wilh a disdainful smile or frown
He on the rif-raf crowd looks down :
The world polite, his fnends and he
And all i he rest are—Nobody !
Taught by the great hi# smiles to sell,
And how to write and how to spell ;
The great his oracles he makes,
Copies their vices and mistakes,
Custom pursues, his only rule,
And live# an ape and dies a fool.”

Che Monitor.No. XXI.
“ The world** no neuter ; it will wound or save.”
We are frequently told that it is highly
necessary for a young man to know some
thing of the wo; Id. It will be granted that
to know enough of the views of the world
j to shun them, aad of its pleasures to feel
their insufficiency to gratify the desires of
an immortal mind is necessary for all ; but
this knowledge difl'ers essentially from that
which men of the world, a# they are called,
| generally teach their pupils. An inexperi
enced mind is easily captivated with scenes
of ar usement and dissipation, and to famil
iarize the young, the giddy, and the unoc
cupied head and heart to nothing but the
vain, the frivolous, and perhaps the wicked
company and conversation with which
splendid parties ire always filled is doing
them an essential injury. If youth were
- taught that to be respected they must be
virtuous, and to be admired they must ex
cel in every thing laudable and truly praise
worthy—if they were laught to imitate the
truly noble, and walk in the footsteps of
those who “ by faith and patience are now
inheriting the promises”—if they were
taught to disdain vice and base dissimula
tion, and to flee with honor the haunts of
riot and debauchery—if they were taught
the beauty of an upright, Lonest and manly
c iracter, and farther taught to look down
with contempt on the little airs of the pert
young stripling—if such was the mode of
education rather than introducing them in
mixed companies, or suffering them to run
at large amid “ a crooked and perverse
generation,” we should soon be forced to
acknowledge that “ the world” is not a pro
per school. If an acquaintance with the vi
ces Nellie vanity of the world does not effect
a s|»ecdy reformation in our own character
and conduct, it most assuredly will sink us
deeper in the filth and mire of iniquity.
“ The world well known, will give cur
hearts to heaven,
“ Or make u» daemons long before we die.”

A FABLE.
Duane, editor of the Aurora, and one
of Jefferson’s colonels in the standing
army, says, that Bonaparte is our good
fiend and ally, and means us no
harm.
1 have heard a fable in Dutch, which
I vvill tell in English.
A Wolf and sheep happened to meet
hard by a strong fence—the wolf on one
side, and the sheep on the other. The
W olf, assumed a ghastly smile, thus
accost the sheep :—w You know I am
a good friend to your nation.
The only reast*a why I sometimes
hurt you is, because you do not quarrel
with the cursed dogs, who are my mor
tal enemies. These dogs, you know,
often worry you. Now if you will en
ter into an alliance with me, I will
promise to defend you against the
dogs ” The sheep was captivated with
this discourse of the wolf; and prevail
ed upon the whole flock to form an «].
fiance with the wolves. No sooner
had the alliance been carried into effect,
than the wolves out of fraternal love,
killed and devoured all the sheep.
I have heard an old saying, that
M a fhig may whittle, hut he has a tad
mouth for it.” Wbeu Bonaparte talks
of friendship, he does it wnli a very
bad mouth. ASOP.
BALTI MOHK, .TUNE 5, 1810.
The National Inieltigcticer may moan
and groan, and the Aurora may wail
and rail on the subject ol'our foreign
relations.—Bui the world sees—and
every American r ot blinded by party
prejudice twd sre—that our degraded
national situation is whom y owing tQ
ihe ignorance a::d fo'iy, t e blindness
and stupidity of our lute anti present
N’atknol Govern went, even if we ..d
mit that their motive* lute not been
corrupt or traitorous.—In vain will the
People look tor bttter times while
such miserable tools are in power.—
! Rulers of“ more capacity and virtue
must be chosen, or our calamities will
increase ** lint this will never be done
by the present ruling party. Democ
j racy is on the down-hill road, and must
i sink in distress and degradation at eve
ry step. It is impossible while our;
; government pursues the system of
Jefferson, that the nation can ever rise
in respectability. We must change
! our course of policy, or we are un
| done.
I RALEIGH, MAY 20, 1310.
WE have authority for saying, that
a member of Congress of this State,
waited on the President of the Uni-1
ted States, and in the course of con
versation enquired of him, whether the
u private letter” said to have been sent
by Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Smith [and
which the mean and degraded toots of
the ministerial party scattered over ev
ery part of Acid-England to effect the
late ephemeral elections] was such as
had beet reported; particularly whe
ther the Marquis Wellesley, had
made the admission respecting Mr.
Jackson, which had been stated ;—
when President Madison declared,
“ that HE did not consider Mr. Hisk
sen’s letter as making ann seen
STATEMENT” Mark this reader ; And
mark also, that Smith, retailer of the
electioneering falshood, has not dared
to publish Mr. Pinkney’s letter which
was stated to have contained the ad
mission ! ! Well may the moralist
exclaim, O the times ! O l the man

Dr. parish.
Tins respectable clergyman has
been so ill-used by the legislature, in
consequence of the pretended violence
of asperity in his political sermon on
election day, that we have perused it
with some attention, in order to discov
er, if possible, such intemperance of
remark, as could justify the House of
Representatives, in violating a custom,
with regard to Dr. Parish, which had
rectiv6tl the sanction of ages, and the
immutability of prescription. We
could discern in it, indeed, caustic ex
pressions, which the moment they
were introduced always demanded of
him, and which were little likely to be
palatable to a majority of the house ;
many observations which reflected on i
the conduct of the national govern
ment ; many acute and elegant semi- (
ments which could not accord with the
base instruments of falshood which the
administration have so frequently
sounded ; but not one expression
which might be considered as intem
perate and vulgar abu3e, that alone
could justify so illiberal and unprece
dented a course of proceeding, as was
followed by the committee of Iho le
gislature.—•Boston Gazette
Some of the democratic papers say,
the merchants have nobody to blame
but themselves for losing their proper
ty iu Amsterdam, Naftles, St. Sebastian*,
See. u They would have the Embar
go raised.”
But surely government was as much
to blame for authorizing clearances to
these places under the non-intercourse
act, as merchants for sending thither ;
and it was h. consequence of that act, i
ostensibly, that the seizures have been
made. The giving clearances encour
aged enterprizes to those ports. It
was presumed Government knew whe
ther there would be any hazard in port
or not.
France encouraged by American De
mocrats.—The Worcester i£gis,.of the
16th ult. says: “ As we have deter
mined to permit modern Babylon to
prostitute our flag to purposes oi
smuggling, [that is, having taken offt
the restrictions ufion commerce,] the
Emperor of France will, without doubt,
destroy all intercourse with us Sc se
questrate our property wherever he
can find it—no one of reason will blame
him if he d,csy and most will agree with
us that he will not shew his usual wisdom
if he does not

Political Register.
The inaugural speech of his Excellency
Gov Gerry, is much less exceptionable than
we could have a right to expect from tho
general character of the political party to
whom he is indebted for his elev ation. 1 he
principal objections to it are, that it is long*
dry, and not particularly appropriate to the
occasion on which it was delivered. The
principles ot union which it inculc-'es will
meet the approbation of every friend of A
merican inuejiendence. All will readily
acknowledge the absolute necessity of union,
but the question will still arise, on what
system of measures shall the union be for
med Shall we unite in supporting measures
the direct tendency of which is to degrade
the national character, and paralyse the na
tional energy ? Or shall we not rather u
nite in opposing such measures and promot
ing otheis which will lead to a recovery o£
our prosperity and honour ! A union in the
support of measures which will bring us in
to subjection to the tyrant of Europe, winch
will unite us with turn in the warfare * •
gainst England anu Commerce, and give
him the entire enniroul of our destinies and
resources, cannot be desirable. Such a
union would be woise than domestic dis
cord, it would hasten the dissolution of all
those institutions of freedom which we
have so often sworn in \he presence and
majesty of Heaven to support.—N. 3. Mir.
"When the Massachusetts Democrats ap
plied last winter to Levi Lincoln, to stand
(or more probably not to stand) candidate
for the office of Governor onctvxore, he de
clined the honour, because, as it was said,
he has lost hie eye sight. The Democratic
Legislature of that State, for some good
reason no doubt, have appointed this same
Mr. Lincoln one of Gov. Gerry’s Council

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WEDNESDAY. JUNE 1J, 1810.
CONTES TED ELEC i UN.
THE House took into cct. le ration a
motion to reconsider a vote passed yester
day accepting the report of the Committee
of Elections declaring Mr. Hobbs, of Weston
to be unit led to a beat »n the House.
An interesting and animated debate en
sued. The motion to re-conside. the
vole of yesterday, and declare Mr. Hobbs
illegally elected, was advocated by Messrs
Pay, Cutler, (of N. Y.\ Whitman, Bigeloxs,
Dutton, Goodwin, (of cii.) and others.
It was opposed by Messrs. Never*, Perry,
Sprague jr. (ofS.) and others. Mr .Story,
(of S ) made a warm ha.rangue on Com
mon Law principles, and constructions of
the plain fetter of the Constitution, in an
swer to the Hon. Mr. Bigelow ; but after de
claring his own ignorance of the tacts in
the particular case in discussion, he declar
ed liis in enlioa not to voie on the subject.
On a question being put him (Mr. Story)
respecting a person in Weston, who had
been excluded from voting ; he gave it as
his decided opitv. ti, that the person thus
excluded was a resident of We*ton, aud
ought to have been admitted to vote. Had
this person been admitted to vote, HsbtK
would not have been elected.
