When the case of THEMIsToCLEs is con-
sidered, who thinks of that great mans

But an honest man will think for him,
and probably sees that his Services could
not be estimated at too high value. The
nistocles by means of every advantage
which the most powerful intellect, and the
greatest valour that could be given to a mi-
ltary leader, saved his country from Xerx-
es with An army OF two millions Of land and
sea forces, and by his unparalleled civil po-
icy increased greatly its power, wealth and
population. A wise anda good man would
say, that there was no reward compatible
with the public security too great for such
national benefactor. Between money
and such services there is no common

Could money then reward him No: The
respect and love of his fellow citizen. alone
could do that. But how was he rewarded
after all? Why, without any evidence of

Punishment. This could have happened
only under despotism OF some sort or O.
Their; either,a monarchic despotism, or that
more horrid and ferocious despotism, a
pure democracy. Themistocles took re-
fuge with Artaxerxes in Persia. But that
monarch calling upon him to command an
army against his ungrateful country, he re-
fused; and to avoid it, put himself to death
and thus established beyond all doubt the
infamy of his fellow citizens.
The instances of this kind in history are
innumerable. With some Of them (by way

shivered his glass doublet of democracy in

to notice the farragoes of the " Exbontor." A
circumstance has however occurred shichrenders
this condcscension necessary.
In the " AaOtrti,<y'' of "Wednesday, il was
simply stated, that the " Expo'ifor" printed occa
sonally on an half sheet. and without its usual
farce, had been able to anticipate US in the publ
cation of the Presidents Message. This has
drawn forth an article from the Editor of the

We did hope that professional pride would have
constrained him 10 have observed accustomed de-
cency, and cannot accountfor this alteration from
the general politeness of gentlemen of the facul-
ty, but from the fervor OF democratic zeal.

Message TO Alexandria, and that his assistants

morning to his patrons III Alexandria.
As to the feelings of his associates we pretend
to know nothing-bbt their exertlons must have
been great indeed, and we hope they will be duly
appreciated, when, in the efervescehce of their
patriotism, they could perform that in one night
which before had been full two days labor.
We are done with this subject after expressing
our entire arprobaton of the Doctors cnjoying
all that aisfiiagaisbed bouor which he suppcscs IS
