There is a great deal Of stuff daily put FORTH
in this country, about +" .Aristocracy," &c. &c
We have certain psuedo republicans who are hor'
rifed at the shocking Difference paid to talents
aud virtue. Now these men are sometimes the
veriest syeophants in creation They stand up
vaIiantly against, and would not for the world
even acknpwIedge, the presence OF the truly great
and good: but let POWER and OFFICE approach
them, and they bend before them with dated anu
whispering humbleness!
There is an excuse for the pride Of learning
for consciousness Of good conduct-for honor
able ambition: there may be an excuse, even, tor
the pride Of wealth; but for the pride Of OFFICE
the pride Of office, in this country and at this
day-there can be none. Tell US not OF Euro
pean haushtiness or European meanness ofhce
and Power in this country, dressed on ID their
Haunting earbs-hushed with the exercise OF their
little brief authority, command more homage
with some men, than is paid to the stars and gar
ters of England, or the crosses and ribbons OF
France.
When it is known what jespicable means are
often resorted to for the purpose OF obtaining o.
flee, this crinsing to titled worthIessness does
indeed, surprise US. The fawning iacqueys VINO
hang around these "repub;ican" MOBILES have
not even the excuse Of looking after thrift, in all
eases. 1t seems to be debasement OF mind
which leads to such miserable conduct. we
know not which most to despise-'he pamPered
notr;ots who are the subjects Of the aduIation'
Or the men who so willingly unite in the rtpu'-

COMMUNICATION.
For the Expositor.

Mr.. EDIToR---
have perused communication which ap-
peared in your paper Of the 9th inst. over the
signature of sSeventy-nine,' the author of which
appears to be dissatisfied with the presnt tardy
movements of our Courts Of Justice He has
presented something which he considers an inn
provement; but is he certain that the Constitu-
ton of the state gives the Legislature boroer to
establish Extra Courts, if so disposed? Where
are the persons capable Of transacting such bu-
siness independent of the members Lawyers
| mean) of our present Courts? Suppose this
tribunal personally interested in the decisi-
on of the pending question, where will be the
Court of Appeal? If understand the drift of
this writer. he will have no lawyers in his cit
liens court, as he calls il. Now sir, this is OBJ
jectionable, for there can be no justice where
there are no lawyers. MY opponent may be a
bic to state his case clearly, while am not:
consequently he has the advantage. Again. can
the pt ople select the members( iurymen) of this
Court, as judiciously as the Sheriff can? Can
it be supposed, that spectators would pay the
same Difference and respect to such body of
men. as to our present Court He throws out
some intimation concerning the moral tenden-
cy of his system, but has not shown wherein
He also proposes one Court for every Hundred
this think is unnecessary; how are the people
to attend those numerous sessions, without me-
glecting their more essential business? think
reform is necessa y, but that the gentleman
proposition is such,is yet TO be proven. Persons
who dislike our present Courts, should keep
out of them; and those who advocate domestic
manufacturing, should never wear an imported
coat. Such Inconsistencies have myself of
ten witnessed. DELAWARE.

THE PRIN TER.

The private griefs' of each one, are best
known to himself This is unquestionable, that
each one thinks his own the heaviest: and this
is the cause of SO little sympathy among man
kind. Every department of life has its cares
and perplexities; and no doubt exists that thet
are not pretty fairly apportioned among them.
The merchant thwarted by wind and wave:
PerPlexed by the fluctuations of the market, &
ruined by misplaced credit and iailures.--and
thinks no situation so trying as his own.
The physician is liable to be called and dis
turbed at all times and seasons;--his repose is
broken, and his health exposed he has to ward
off from his patients, the shafts of practised
and insatate archer and if he be not always
successful, the doom of all flesh is forgotten, &
his failure ascribed to his want of skill.
The preacher is grieved and disheartened in
vain efforts to make impressions on the frozen
and Unborn soil of the human heart, as he
terms it.
The lawyer is required to make black appear
white, or he is no lawyer at all,
The schoolmaster becomes faded and per-
picked to the bone with spoiled children, & with
saving wood with mallet, and signs in his
soul for some other troubles.
The printer, has he to do but to print
and pocket the money! Dear reader, you know
little of his case. or of the woes that press him
down. His griefs have been often groaned forth
but there are thousands that are unwritten'
and imprinted. We will not attempt to emu
merate them-they are more numerous than
the types in his case. There are some, how
ever, which if known and understood by the
community, might lead to mitigation. We will
cite an example for illustration. A well mind
ed neighbor comes into our Office, Just as the
paper is going to press:-' Dear sir, says he, at
the same time putting his arm Familiarity upon
a column of set up matter, and destroying the
labour of half day,-'Dear SIR will you have
the goodness to just clap into your paper this
obituary notice of my friend,-i it is rather late

brought it before,-it will not make more than
"a half column What shall we do? What can
we do? Why we must deny him, therefore Of
fend him. Just clap it in! He little knows the
labour of arranging, commercially grammati-
cally, GEOGRAPHICALLY, syntactically, senti.
mentally, and geographically. some thousands
of little pieces ofmetal. After him, when our
form is all locked up in the press, in comes a
half dozen of shop boys, with advertisements
for the next mornings paper You are too late
why did you not bring them beforeF W.
forgot to;-our master wrote them in the NOR
ming, but they slipt our memories We mus
again go to work. unlock our paper, and new
ARRANGE our matter, or lose ad, cruising patron
,lage. These are but drops to the bucket full
mere triles to be sure-they only take three O
four hours from our necessary sleep. Were a

) dation, more in the habit of looking into an
understanding the causes of each others PR
