 | By this time the gentleman and lady began to be mutually suspicious of the soundness of one another's lnteects; and looking in each others faces to con- firm their suspicious, they at the time discover ed that each had got the wrong partner.
 In the mean time Mrs B. before she had got fairly ovor the threshold of the church. atfectonaey pres ing the arm of Mir A. began-"My dear. what a beautiful bonnet Mrs Twitchet has got Did you mo- tice it?"

[From the Philadelphia United States Gazette. ]
TO THE PUBLIC-LETTER X 6.

/. Public men are not TO be so correctly
understood or appreciated through the
great chain of public measure, as by the
they practise towards individuals, whcih-
or partlsans or antagonists; for, whatev-
er feelings may orig mate the former, they
soon become diffused into the rude wa
ters of general expediency; whereas, in-
cidcnts connected with men remain de-
tachcd in their identity, and fully de-
velope the true characters of statesmen
and politicians. The salutary lessons of
history are derived more from the latter
than the former source.
1t was not until the rejection by the
Senate was made known to the writer of
these letters that he became fully sensi-
bic of the profound treachery which had
been practiced with systematic precision
by the President and his friends. Some
peculiar circumstances had occurred to
excite a transient suspicion, but which Il
well-framed mind, or benevolent heart
would be eager to reject, as degrading to
human nature and revolving to the pride

position that they possessed no honor to
restrain, or virtue to influence them. 1t
was not readily to be imagined by one
unversed in the deep dupliclty OF courts,
that, under the exterior garb OF great
friendship and anxious solicitude for the
welfare of another, there was concealed
an insidious desire to procure a rejection
OF the nomination to the Senate--and that
secret Vaccinations were to defeat what
hollow but plausible regard, and real sell
fshness and ambition had granted. Few
men could have penetrated a scheme
which sheds so dark hue over the heart,
and reveals so profound a labyrinth of
political hypoc risy in its author. Nor
was it easier to suppose that in dearth
of official aliment to satisfy iriends-or,
in the eagerness of his desire TO promote
his reelection, he would so contrive one
appointment as to allay the irritable re-
proachcs of two parties-escape all CEN
sure by throwing the responsibility on the
Sennte-exultng in the thought that he
had disarmed oppugnation of the power
