-. " Patriotism" said DR.. Johnson, is
the last refuge of scoundrel." Pa,ri.
otisn," SAID Dean Swift, :" is the madness
Of many for the benefit of few" These
tive definitions have been often quoted, but
seldom fully considered. Johnson, by spa
trio,ism," means only the profession of it
bv those who have risen or mean to rise to
Offices of emolument, ofhonor or of power.
Swift, by the same word means the warmth
of its reality among the great untbinking
bulk of society. Joanson's patriotism as
cends by apparent zeal and outrageous a.
lection for his country. IF out of Office he
is sure to condemn the men who are in Of
fee and all their measures. His whole aim
is to dislodge them, that he may vault into
their seats. At one time he assumes the
garb Of candor and moderation, and CON.
dennis with ostensible reluctance but real
pleasure. At another time he would de-
throne power by violen, defamation and o.
pen hostility. Every flaw in public cha
racters is magni6ed into an atrocious crime.
Every virtue is forgotten. Improper mo-
tives are ascribed to every act, whether of
public or private nature. Prudence is
denominated cunning; economy parslmo-
ny; generosity protuseness; ardor mad
ness; GOODNESS calculation; forbearance
fear. Every virtue is considered a vice,
and every act is bottomed in sel6shness.-
His eye is fixed on promotion and he
knows how to obtain it by the help of the
,houghtless many. 'ris but TO pretend un.
limited affection for the people: to con.
vince them that those in power are corrupt,
and that better men ought to supply their
place. When in Office, his first labor is to
serve himselt If this can be effected with
out injury to his country tits well but he
must serve himself: rem, recie 81 p0ssis, 81
non guocunqe mode rem i; whether the res
be wealth, power or fame. He now preach
es unity OF sentiment; the authority OF 60.
vernment; the necessity OF supporting the
powers that are. Those who are out Of Oh
fee, and are using the same means to OBJ
tain il that he had himself previously used,
are denounced as disaaected, dangerous
and rebellious. ...0 49,.
But the patriots of Dean Swift are che
mos. numerous, being aboutnine tenth. of
society honest, perhaps, but TOO little
Informed ON srsat political subjects, TO know
whether their votes or their exertions will
be beae6eial or injurious to their country.
These are the dppes Of the Johnson pa,ri-
OTIS. Some imbibe certain principles, and
adhere to certain men and measure, NOT
from their goodness or propriety, no. from
auy knowledge or capacity of their own,
but fron reading certain publications from

leisure and more means of information
