OLD JACK,
A New Song, to the tune of" Poor Jack."
Go talk to the rabble and swine do you fee,
'Boat literty, rights, and the like:
A federal house and good senate frive me—
And at freedom how boldly I'll strike.
If republican presses continue to rail,
ifbout public meafutes they prate.
We'll clap all the editors snug up in ,
And teach them to libel the State,
Tho' by ttiis from my office I may be put
iforth,
No trifles Shall take me aback,
There's a mpg little Junto that meets in the
Will look but a good birth for Old Jack.
1 pat Cooper in Jail, for d'ye fee he would write,
' About armies, and navies, and loans:
From the merciless grave call up Robbins s sprite,
And fright me in deep with its groans.
In revenge for fix months in a prison he pin d,
And scarce Thw the light of the fun,
And four hundred dollars for this he was fin ,
For we hop'd he was scarcely worth one.
Tho' by this from my office I may be put

A thorough-pac'd fed'ralift goes every inch,
With the party .to which he adheres.
And votes right or wrong without oft mg to
flinch
And laughts at the patriot's fears.
As for me they'll oppose me (oppose me who
may)
Because I sent millions to France —
a But I have my opinions and will have my way,
1 ' And trull my eleftion to chance.

THE REAL GENTLEMAN,
at - ~
The real gentleman has a heart that sympa
thizes with the poor, and is susceptible of all the
tender feelings ; is a good hulband—a loving par
rent—a sincere friend—a quiet neighbor,, and a
cheerful companion. Unbiaffed by partr, and
' unprejudiced by any let of men, he directs^ his
principal attention to the good of the j,wbiic 4 and
to the fatisfattion of the community. charity
lie is liberal without ostentation ; and to. the . dis
trefled; he experiences himfelf a lather by. acts
humanity. He is religious without being arisen
thufiafi —pious without hypocricfy, and virtuous
from innate principles of goodness. His deport
ment is graceful and easy, and his address engag
ing and compfaifant. He is affable to his inferiors
- —agreeable with his equals—refpefttul to those
who are above him— cringing to none, but polite
to All.'
- KNOWLEDGE OE THE WORLD,
We rover think, not fay, that knowledge of the
world makes a man more virtuous ; it renders
him mote pfudent, but generally at the expence
of his virtue. Knowledge of the worirlimplies
(kill in discerning characters, with the arts of in
trigue, lo^ cunning felf interest, and other niean
motives, that influence * hat are called men of the
world. Men of genius are commonly pt a Simple
character ; their thoughts are occupied in objeds
very remote from the little arts of men in the
world.

eleven o'clock instead of three, and on pain of

the poor man was obliged to comply : but before

Great and illustrious characters are often form
ed by pernfiug the memoirs of those, of either sex,
who have been eminently distinguished by bril
liant accomplilhments and exalted virtue. The
retired fituatipn of Seignora Ro^- vein availed not
to conceal from the world the graces and virtues
with which ihe was adorned. Possessed of every
personal and mental charm, her acquaintance was
fought by the lovers of moral beauty and refined
sentiments ; and her uncommon proficiency in fei
ence soon drew around her the Genii of the age.
With those at a dißance (he corresponded : and a
few years aftet the commencement of her retire
ment, [fuch Was her increasing passion for know
ledge and improvement,] (he effected a yearly
mutual communication ot interesting intelligence
with the friends of virtue and science, in the tour
quarters of the globe;
The following Sheets contain a valuable corres
pondence which She maintained with a most be
loved relative and friend of her own sex ; and
mhich the editor flatters himfelt will afford an a
greeable entertainment to those readers whole
winds are assimilated to hers, as well as an addi
tional aid to the growing cause of genuine virtue.
Ye Children of Benevolence and Love !—in this
age of wonders, firft favored of heaven for the
universal good,—with you file cb-operates in those
divine labors on which Deity looks with the smiles
of complaisance ;—and with you she waits, in jay
fid expectation, to behold the felicity of EVERY in
dividual of the human race as perfect and exalted -
as was originally defigued by the source of per
feCtion and bliss !

lisher intreats the public not to patronize
any other undertaking of the fame nature
until they have had an opportunity of judg

be indulged in this request, by every candid
republican, when they learn that he was the
firft who made proposals for the work, and
was only prevented from having the print
published already by the chicane and villainy
of a few persons ; it is not irfeffary to
name them, as their feelings, if they are
not too much inured to mal-pradices will
inform them who I mean. #- # -
