" Patriot'tsm," laid Dr. ]ohnmn, '3 it
the last refuge of a lcoundrel." " Patri
otiam," nid Dcan Swist, " is the madness
of many ior the benesit of a few." T hese
two definitions have been osten quoted, but
seldom fully considered. ]ohnson, by " pa
ttiotiam," means only the pi'ofcssion of it
by those who have risen or mean to rise to
uﬂices of emolument, ofhonor or of power.
Swist, by the same word menns the warmth
ofite reality among the rent untbinking
built _oi'eociety. Johnson's patriotism as
eendo bv apparent zeal and outrageous at"
fection for his country. !! out of office he
is sure to condemn the men who are in of
fice and all their measures. His whole aim
it to diolodge them, that he may vanit into
their tents. At one time he assumcs the
garb of candor and moderation, and con
demn: with ootensible relnctancsse but real
pleasure. Atanother time he would de
throne power by violent declamation and o
pen hostility. Every ﬂow in public cha
racters in magnified into an atrocious crime.
Every virtue is forgotten. ! Impmper mo
tives are ascribed to every act, whether of
: public or a private nature. Prudence is
denominated cunning; economy putsimo
ny; generoaity prol'useness; nrdor maid
ness ; coolness calcuiation; foactbearance
and every act is bottomcd in selfishness.—
Hia eye is find on promotion ; and he
knows how to obtain it by the help of the
thoughtless many. 's is but to pretend un
limited aﬀection for the people : to con
vince them that those in power are corrupt,
end that better men ought to suptiy their
place. When in office, his sint labor is to
letve himself. . is this can be eﬀected with
out injury to his country 'tis Well; but he
must aerve himself: rent, recle n' panis, n'
non quocunqe made rem ; whether the res
be wealth, power or fame. He now preach
vernment; the necessity of supporting the
power: that are. Those who are out of oi
