l T Grou4ag -qris.oesccy.--We. have long entertained the opinion, that a cor Irupt and purse-proud aristocracy was growing ID in the land v.,ieii which, unless timely checked, would prese ruinous te our republic. As proof of this, we give 10 ourreaders theiollowingextract cdi paragraph from the Washington Spectator, the editor of which, be it distinctly understood, is qevergad. Be- sides opposing the interests of the work ing part cs the community, ne is said, strongly to advocate the necessity of u. hitting church and state.

 ''Ihe rage to entrust important and arduous public employments with men who have spent their whole lives, at the press, the awl, the anvil, or the cornfeld, is one of the most vicious diseases Of cur growing republic.' '

 Let the farmer read the foregoing paragraph, let the mechanic read 1t, and consider the insult that is offered to their intelligence and good sense. The Philadelphia Album in noticing the a. boye paragraph says-"the editor of the Spectator explicitly says, that to intrust arduous and important public employ ments to men who have spent their whole lives in the promotion of their countfy's welfare, is vicious. The man must be mad. To whom shall we en- trust them, if not 10 those who have la- bored in the cause of the republic? Ac- cording to his policy, our farmers, our mechanics, and our editors are proscrb- ed. Sach men as Jefferson, Franklin, and Jackson, are all deemed ineligible to office, for they have all been farmers, mechanics, or editors. n-ylfont. Farmer.

 Eaecastiofa ttssgo sig1ers of ft}atc Declara- tion of iasdepe,sdeuee.-Start not, gentle readers. We do not allude to that i'm perlshable declaration of the rights of man, which was drafted by Mfr. Jeifer- son, mason, and signed by Franklin and Carroll and others who were also masons and patriots. Oh no. We will not tarnish the fame of that hallowed instrument which declared that all men were free and equal, and were entitled equaiiy and alike to fife, liberty, aud the pursuit of hagpiaess.

 But We allude to an instrument of q very different character;to foolish, ,en- thusiastie, prosecuting series of para graphs, drawn up by Solomon South wick, and called the ssNew Declaration of lndependence.'' This abominable attempt to ape the wisdom of our fa- thers, was issued to the noble Le Roy i Convention, signed by a score or two ol individuals who possessed the dominical lspirlt of anti-masonry. Ii breathes any thingbutindependence. Instead ofasser- ting the equality and independence of the whole community, it prosefibes and condemns a most respectable portion Of it. The character and conduct of it's signers, will illustrate its spirit and ten dency. See the following.
