A FROM THE (TRENTON) TRUE AMERICAN.
A HEEDLESS Printer on a time
Committed a molt heinous crime,
And told the truth ;
It cult hisbrethren many a lie,
And many a labored project fly,
To pass the blunder snugly by.
And flop the Culprit's mouth.
Before the federal gag was made,
Or Patronage fat up his trade,
Honorus figh'd,
The fA inifh multitude to fee,
All at ease, and full of glee,
Straight he cried, “ This mnft not be,
Break their spirits, check their pride.
When British Tyrants broke the peace,
Contending who should have the fleece,
1 foremofl flood,
Tho' myriads death and danger dar'd,
I think the profits should be fhar'd,
(Excluding all the vulgar herd)
By men ot wealth and noble blood.
Our foieinn falls and holy things,
The fubterluge ot Prielts and Kings,
The Croud to awe ;
The Christian faith they much abuse,
And treat us worse than Turks or Jews
Whenever we attempt to use,
T' uphold tyrannic lacV.
Fleets and Armies let us fife.
Taxes, Pensioners, and Tools,
To crush them down :
Republic ! I deleft the name;
But then th' event is much the fame,
If we a kingly power may claim,
Without the tinsel of a crown.
But firfl the public mind to know,
And feel their pulse who aft below,
Let us prepare ;
For if we set the thing afloat
Too rafniy, all our friends of note
May quickly ride in Charon's boat,
To some dear land the lord knows where*
Above plebeian rank to place,
And give to power imperial grace,
Our friends molt fend
Addresses, thick as funimer flies,
T'exhort cur wifdorn to the Ikies,
Confute the weak, confound the wife;
And make the Stubborn Patriot bend.
Whatever Eloquence can gain,
Or Art atchiere, or Fraud obtain,
Let Courage dare.
Eid Politicians problems weave,
Law; ers harangue, Priefis deceive,
To make the multitude believe
Heaven's finger points to war.
Meanwhile each federal press (hall teenl,
And join in one polluted dream,
O, Porcupine,
Tho' much we honor'd all the rest,
Yet by the candid 'tis contest ;
Thy ufeful labors pleas'd us best ;
Great Chief ! the palm is thine. .
Fred up in filth, at Cockney school,
Where fool with froth encounters fool,
Near Billingsgate,
Thy ready genius fhow'd you fit,
To be the scavenger of wit,
To help the friends of Billy Pitt,
In this new world to guide our state.
When to promote fume fav'rite end,
Great men were wont to condefeend ;
To flatter fools,
It oft requir'd no small address
To keep them down to know their place,
And treat his Lordship or his Grace,
As it becomes their humble tools.
Let ideots dream of equal laws;
The, fnrer line that nature draws
I duly scan :
Her mighty volume but survey,
From land to land, and sea to sea,
There at the page mark'd dediuy, , —
Read, " Man's ordain'd the Slave of Man !"
The Merchant, with his cent per cent,
The Miser, rich in annual rent,
We must retain ;
The Pulpit and the Bar we need,
With all their art to preach and plead,
Adorn and con fecrate the deed,
And build our idol up again.
Yet further to promote the cause,
Some Judges plac'd above the laws,
Can hardly fail.
If (till they contravene our plan,
By holding up the Rights of Man,
We'll fend them where you know we can,
To learn new logic in a jail."
These were his fall when (Grange to tell !)
Sudden as Iginning down he fell,
like some tall pine,
The forell bends beneath its weight,
And limbs and splinters, final! and great,
Lie round in rude chaotic date,
Couipell'd their Rations to resign.
O
As an Irishman was pacing thro' the streets the
other day when the walks were covered with ice,
his foot flipped, and filling, he tlrnck his head
with violence on the pavement. Poor Paddy
gathered himfelfup (lowly, apd making a rueful
face at the place where he fell—" Arrah, honey,"
fays he, “ but you'll /wear for this before spring."
[N.Y. pap.]
A company of fcbolars, going a hunting, ejoin
edon one of the company, who was ufually'very
talkative, to preserve (irence, or he would frighten
away the game. However, upon frying a number
of rabbits, he vociferoully exclaimed, “ Ecce !
multi cunniculi /''-—when they disappeared in a
moment. Being chid by his companions, he re
plied," Who the devil would havethought the rabbits
anderflood Latin ?”.

A wag observing a fellow dealing a |ifh, at
Billingsgate, and put it under his jacket, which
was too (hurt to conceal the theft, whispered the
purloiner, in future, either to wear a longer jack
et, or ileal a ftorter fifh.

A certain deletions man Went to meet
ing on a Sunday, and peacefully seated him
felf. In sermon time, looking round, he
observed some of the congregation sleep
ing, and being accidentally armed with
a pocket full of rotten apples, he drew them
forth one by one, and taking good aim, let
them fly flap into the faces of the sleeping
chliftians. This was repeated several times,
to the no small diversion of the audience :
but the parson observing his conduct, desired
ffie people to " take care of that crazy man,"
who inftanly replied, “ Do you mind your
preaching, and I'll keep the dogs awake !"
