sreaion. 1t IS a name and race that a natior
has been interelled in, and is in the habit Of
srsipetiing. Benevolence, Sympathy, eongratu
la,ion, have been 70 long afociated TO thoie
names in the minds Of people, thatthey al G
become natosal habits. National gratitude
defends from the father 10 the fon, and is often
aronger TO the latter than the former 1t is
often excifed by ,emone, upon rejection or the
ingratitude and injuaice with which the former
has been treated When the names of GER
tain family are read in all the gazettes, chroni.
eles, records, and hiRories of country for five
hundred years, they become known, Ielpeded,
and delighted in by every body. A youth, a
child Of this extraction, and bearing this tame,
tracts the ewes and ears OF all companies long
before it is known or inquired, whether he be a
wife man or fool. His name is often great
er diItinaion, than a tile, lfar, or garter.
This it is which make 10 many men proud, and
70 many others envous of luxurious delcent.--
The pride IS as irrational and contemplate as
the pride OF riches, and no more. vile man
will lament that any other uifinetion than that
of merit ihoud be made. A good man, will
neither be proud nor vain of his birth but will
earnealy improve every advantage he has tor
the public good A cunning man will careful
ly conceal his pride but will indulge it in fe-
erct, The more efecnally, and improve his ad
vantag. TO greater profit. But was any man
ever known 10 wife, or 70 good, as really to
defpite birth or wealth Did you ever read of
man riisg to public notice, from obfcure be
ginning, who was nor reflected on Al,ho'
with every liberal mind, it Is an honor and a
roof Of merit, yet it is difgrace with man

contempt that is thrown upon oblcuriry of an.

This deiife of the confederation Of our fellow
