SPLENDID Embellishments.

In thedepartment of Engravings, it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any pc
riodical work ever published in this or any other
country. The highest ambition of rival publishers
seems thus far to have been to maintain respectable
limitation of the numerous costly and beautiful
works of art with which the successive numbers of
this journal have been graced In the of the
succee ding volumes many important 's,O features
will be introduced. Sarti1., the most celebrated
Mezzotint Engraver in the Union, and equal of the
best in Europe, will continue to furnish his exquisite
productions; and Ra,cdon, Wright s. Hatch; Smile
g. Hinshehoood, and oshers, of New York, and
Cheeney, Dodson, Welch & Walters, Tucker, and
others, of Philadelphia, all among the most eminent
Line Engravers of the present century, have been
engaged to furnish succession of highly finished
steel engravings superior to any that have hitherto
appeared in periodicals.

that our December number contains specimen of

metropolitan city is alwaysthe place
in which TO observe the multiform con-
trasts of life. But in our republican
towns, where grade is not established,
and where the simple title of "esquire,"
or the more aristocratic cognomen of :" no.
norable," are the highest that can be at
tanned, the disparities Of wealth, comfort
and happiness are not so manifest. Thank
heaven! republicanism has achieved this,
at least-lhat the arrogant title Of lord,
and the nunbcyless off.shoots Of marquis,
duke, prince, &c, have no Constitution
al recognition in the land of Washington
But this remark land we say it with shame)
does not apply TO the capital city of the
Union.
In Washington city, the seat of nation
al legislation, the residence Of the federal
executive, foreign ministers, &c, the true
American is mortified by observing a pal
try, and piliful imitation of the forms and
usages Of European cities. These forms
and usages are the importntions Of those
titled gentlemen who are sent TO represent
their governments at the Capital OF ours,
and the frivolous among our countrYmen
and counirywomen pride themselves upon
successful limitations Of the airs Of those
foreign fops, whose sole boast, in most in
stances, is a blood once "ennobled" in the
person Of some merilorious ancestor, by
king long gone 10 his marble-ornamented
corner in Westminster Abbey, or other
stately sepulchre of the roliing bones of
princes. Think Of it, blush for it Ameri-
can ladies,-thal your countrywomeu 10
the capital Of your great land, are the imi-
lalOrs of few foreign paragons OffOshiOn,
who are OF once elected into models Of
dress, department, &c, when, in truth,
your grandmothes Of ages ago were much
better examples Of these things. Yet, we
will indnlgenuy believe that they are M
conscious how much they derogute from
their own dignity and the fame Of their
ancestral mothers BY such course. For
surely, could they mark the sneer of,hose
titled foreigners at their subserEience to
foreign fashions and foreign conventional s
lilies, their lovely cheeks would crimson 10
blushing consciousness Of their own de-
gsneraey.
But, TO all general rules there are ex-
cep,ious, and, happily for the fair fame Of
American woman, few Of those honora
