This gentleman is one Of John Bulls legitimate
sons. His aversion for Brother Jonathan is purely
rational. His most formidable charge against
Republican Institutions, is their relaxing intlu-
encs upon domestic discipline. He attributed

daughter wholly to these causes, and will never
learn that the "iron rule" in the government OF
children, is quite likely to have occasloned the
disappointment of his parental hopes. This gen.
lsman is, however, ar agreeable companion, with
hndly feelings, and doubt not, a worthy man.
