The idea held BY many. that the hum
bic mechanic is not as good byBnat1re, IS
the wealthy monarch. is, we think, a ve-
ry erroneous one, and one that is held
only BY those who have but very little in
tellect. They are generally to be found a.
mong that class Of people. who having me-
yer obtained mouthfnl Of yictuals bv The
sweat Of their brows. know not how to
appreciate the many comforts which are
extended 10 them by the Iabors of the in !.
dustrious mechanic. There are many
people. who consider The mechanics
and working men. The lower classes Of
society. while many an ignorant Top. who
is lazy and too proud to work. II esteem.
ed by them as one Of the higher class
This baneiul principle. we, fear, has been
nourisbedtby many from whom We should
have expected better things, and whom
We once thought would discounted nance
any. invidious distinctions between rich
aud poor. Mankind are very apt, when
they rise 10 the world, 10 forget their
once impoverished condition, and 10 feel
that they are Of better blood, than those
through whose insirumentali,y tbeirrich-
es have been obtained; but it is a mis,a-
ken notion, spripging from the. native
principle, self-love. NJ
No distinctions should be made be-
tween one profession and another, be-
cause Of the professions. but whenever
distinctions Be made between individuals
let their real worth De the only ground
foE i. Then we shall soon see. that
wealth as some have erringly supposed,
and we fondly hope that the day maynot
be far distant when this truly republican
sentiment will be cherished in the bosom
ofevery one who in6abits the fertile soil
Of our happy aud much loved America.
Those then who would create 'distinc-
tons by any other rule. andspay more re-.
spsct to earthly grandeur, than to inlelli.
gence and virtue, we consider enemies
although perhaps ignorantly. toNthose e..
quail tights, which were purchased BY the
blood and suferings Of our patriot fathers
in times which tried meas souls.

the 2I of February next The object Of this is to
call the attention of our brother Democrats to the
consideration of another time and another place -
1t will doubtless be regarded duty and o
pleasure. to send Delegates to our STATE Conven
ton. Well, why not in these hard times, "k
two birds with stone?"-do our District business
during the State Convention, &c, especially as our
Legislature promise to adjourn bore the Time aud place
Eamed by "York."
There is another reason. and strong one it is. The
steam boats will have laid up; there is no ferry across
the Rspoahannock the river is FIVE miles vide private
