applauded, and especially the following
extract lromil:
Manners alone make NOT the genile-
man. They NAV be, and are one Of The
evidences Of a gentleman. because Of heir
connection with good principles and good
feelings. As dissorialed from sterling
principle and benevnlen, feelings. they are
nothing worthy. b. gentleman. We mean
him Win in cIiararier is honest aud honor

Mr.. Burke. that sensibiiny Of principle
that CHASTITY Of honor which feels stain
