Of humbug connected with that little

no one inherits titles or rank, and where
the highest stations of homo: and infu-
ence are open and accessible to all, it is
a mark of littleness of soul to ape The
manners and exclusiVeness OF the hersd-
itary nobility of Europe. On the, other
hand, it is. in our opinion. equally an ev~
idence Of weakness tOregard with feelings
Of jealousy those who may be Weather
or more distinguished than ourselves
The dispositi on to drag dOs0n to our own
level those whom We imagine to be or
to feel themselves above US, is purely

lead US rather to aspire to their eleva-
ton. The wide distinction of caste, is
one Of the worst features Of monarchy

We notice that prominent argument
OF the democratic journals of Massachu.
sets against the election Of Mr. Winthrop
the wing candidate for Governor, is, that
he is an ''aristocrat. belongs 10 an "sris

hope to make an ABUNDANCE vf capital

tain class Of their readers. True, Mr..
Winthrop is descendant o. that good
old puritan Governor. John Win.hrep;
but we cannot see how he is any more
to blame for that than if he had descend

more dishonorable to have had respec-

PRIDE IN OLDEN TIME.-The proudest
Briton Of the thirteenth century was Will
liam de Kilborne, lord of the manor of
Kilborne in Yorkshire. Though not pos
sessed Of vast estates, his disposition for
show caused him to outstrip all the men
of the North Of England in the parade
of his equipage and the sumptuouspess
Of his entertainments. 1t is related that
King John and his retinue. returning
from the northern wars, were received
and entertained by him with such gor-
,geous and profuse hospitality. as to ex-
cite the envy Of that vain and voluptuous
monarch. who Significantly remarked to
his Secretary after taking his departure.
g the King will tolerate no rival with
royal.ie. The king died not long there's
after, or his implied threat might have
been summarily executed upon his un-
sus pec.ing host. But it needed not the
vengeance IF the crown to bring to an
end the pride Of the lord Of Kilborne.--
His extravagance il due time scattered
nearly his entire income. and portions Of
his hereditary estates were privately
leased to enable him TO continue in stye.
