American watchman and Delaware advertiser. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1822-1828, 1822-03-22

swlnlsh multitude will drop the De, you can put il
into the BGronetage in the statement of your pedi-
gree, where, for additional half crown to the
editor, you will have yourself traced back to the
conquest aye, and just as well and as truly as de-
mocratic glory is, whose ancestor, the baronetage
tells Us, Hugh de Burdet who came into
England with William the Conqueror.'
Nothing is so easy as to manage these matters,
especially it you have got your money without
making any noise. For in this it is really
misfortune 10 have been famous in any way Of trade.
If Wedeewood were TO be made lord, he would
never b. called any thing but my lord crock, or Tea
lot, or saucer or some such provoking name. And
IT IN the lullness of time the Whitbreads were to
be advanced IN Ike manner, my lord 6nng would
sound 10 their ears for two generations at least. IT
is impossible to hear the name OF Peel without
thinking Of the spinning jenny.
The more quietly you have made your money,
the more smoothly you get on only you must
move away iroRi the scene; and ia all your CON-
versations with your new neighbors, take care ne.
yer to say any thing that may enable them 10 trace
you back; for observe, their envy makes them very
sharp sighted it you have been a manufacturer,
seem not to know linen from cotton; and never let
a word drop about spndles, or horse powers, or
water powers; for that would betray you at once.
II you come from Change Alley, take care how
you utter the words discount, per cent fraction,
and the like. If you have been a contracting corn
DEALER seem not to know wheat from beans and
never use the words bushel, gallon or ration; the
latter is perfectly fatal. IF you been army butcher,
pretend to mistake mutton for beef; and never
show your critical knowledge of the distinction be-
tween oxen and bulls. Above all things never say
bull bee and if you svoid it, even in talking of
battles never say slaughter. II you have been am
army tailor seem not to know the use of pair of
scissors never have a goose or cabbage upon
your table, for fear of awakening unpleasant ideas
and giving rise 10 sarcastic smiles. Ii the attitude
OF your elbows or The wriggle of your back betray
you, bold measures will be required; dash out with
a pack OF fox hounds and feed and drench sound
ly the half broken down old country gentry that
are lett in your neighborhood.
The parsons it will be most difficult TO manage.
For IN the first place they are every where.--Then
they are fraternity that have constant commune
cation with each other, and have common in
terest. Then their gown gives them universal ac-
CESS Then they talk with the women great deal,
and hand about story Ia true one mean fcourse)
with wonderful CELEBRITY. Yet these reverend, as
the law calls them, these spiritual persons, are not
absolutely without feeling In such case as yours,
provided they see their way clear. Be constant in
attendance at church and not churlish at home,--
Where your first toast ought always to be "Church
and King" Pay or give your tythes without grudg-
ing and it will not be worse if you would purchase
an adyowson or two, and thus become known to be
a patron.
In short, follow my advice and I'll engage. that
though you have tramped about Tor forty years, be-
tween the Mansion House and Capel Court, or tho
your lungs be actually still stuffed up with cotton
fuzz, the ped gree men shall trace yon back to the
conquest as clearly as The would trace you
back to the poor house.
There is thing against which have to eau.
ton you, that is to attempto get your sonsup thro'
the barr for though it has been fertile source of
nobility, and will still produce something, times of
retrenchment are no times Tor this OF honors
And besides, which is the great objection, the bar
does not require brains more or less and you will
easily see that this circumstance is one of which
you ought by all means to be clear. We do indeed
hear the Recorder, and even the Common Sergeant
called my lord but alas ! this is like my lord may
orr which is only for the time present, for the
moment; il is the gown and wig, and not the man
that is called my lord which is really nothing or
worse than nothing, as it only serves TO fan the
flame of ambition without providing any means for
its qualification. Nor is the navy and army bit
better, in this respect, than the bar. Here is zine
required at least and nine for one, more less of
knocks and blows and cuts, which ough, to be who'll
ly out of the question with those who wish enjoy
titles while they are alive
If the reader ask what this has 10 do with emf
grafton to America I say it has every thing to do
with it. And l hope that l have here proved to
the satisfaction OF every rational mind, that for
man to go to America with great parcel of money
because he is impatient under the neglect of the
arsIocracy here. is the greatest of ollies seeing
that as have, think, clearly shown that he may
get among the aristocracy himself for less money
than he can the pulling off Of one single hal to him
in the United States.
