ton his brother Republicans TO the characers-
ties of Aristocracy:-

people who talked very much against 1t, and yet could
not tell exactly what it is. Now, / have never
been an Aristocrat myself, and viii never be so if
can help it, shall be glad to give some notions Of
what the symptoms and character Of this so much
dreaded monster.
While was travelling, some years ago, in the mid
die and back parts Of the State of Pennsylvania came
night to inn with another traveller, and after
supper, we were both put into large room contain
ing three beds. We hsd just got into them when a
very decent looking young man came up, with can

Well, as soon as the young man had covered him.

think NJ. Editor, that this was real piece of
Aristocratic behavior.
Yours, respectfully, PETER SIMPLE, Jr.
In Aristocratics it is first principle that "a what is
yours is mine, and what is mine is my own,' and ac-
cordingy, that in doing what they will with their own
they do what they will with the rights and property of
others Our Duke of Newcastle or Lord Exeter would
regulate the voice of any man in their power, as the
bully in the above story regulated the covering but
Arlstocracy does this thing more completely IN Eng
land. As Jonathan Wild would say, g 1t knows
better trick than that of making sleep in his
shirt whether he likes it not; in England it strips
him of his shirt for the maintenance Of those in pur-
pie and fine linen.
The publication from which the above Characteristic
anecdOte is copied, bears the Of the Dollar Ma
gazne though of the class the periodical which
in ostentatous England is humbly called the Penny
Magazine. In frugal America, where there is a PEN
ny President there Is Dollar Magazine, and where
there IS Dollar King there Is Penny Magazine.
The name of a Dollar Magazine would scare our peo-
pie from any publication. The Americans can bear
the idea Of such disbursement in lump, bnt, the
other hand, they would take fright at the thought of
Crown Magistrate. They had him once, and inss-
ted on change.
