AS it is probable, that the wisdom, mag
nanimity, 6rmness, and justice of our ad-
ministration, and the majority in congress,
will have been abundantly conitnenorased
IN toas!s, and sentiments, on the annlversa-
~ Of independence, we re-publish an ex-
tra:t from a high-to democratic paper,
( and what is better, an Irish democratic Pa
per) the !" WH1e," entitled" Extract
from the New Dictionary, as adatted and
exembkfed at Washington"
If these remarks Of Mr.. Irvine are just
surely we have no great reason to TOAST
our administration or their supporters. 1t
it be indeed so, thar the ministerial maiori-
.ty in Congress is madeup of fools & block
heads, their friends out Of congress ought
to say but little about them. If these re-
marks are unjust, we congratulate the. ct
fersonians throughout the country, on the
modesty, anl decency, which these foreign
ers manifest towards those who have lifted
them from the kennel, and made them men
of importance. : If we are not mistaken,
there is proverb which begins ,hus--Set'a
5eggar ON horseback, &c." IT, however,
the people of the democratic states. should
really follow tie directions of 6 Brigadier
General Duane" and Mr.. Baptis Irvine,
&c. &c. aud turn out the g 6loc&heaas"
which now represent them, what course will
they take next? We have never understood
it to be claimed by any body, that the ct.
fersonians Of our country could be fairly
represented BY integrity and talents. Should
it then be thought proper to give up the
6l0ckheads, we see not but they must choose
Duane, and Irvine, 1cnd such like, and at
least, let the sknaoes, for once, have a fair
delegation. Mirror.
