The definition given by the Editor of The Whig in his new Dictionary of the term Patriotism, suits to a dog eat dog. Modern patriotism—she says, and justly too, is shaven. Irvine is correct. Of his own—or "Weighing English Cuffs against French Kicks—and quietly settling the account."
This Lexicographer is an Irishman, and, with the ingenuousness that characterizes his countrymen, has told a truth which no lick can cancel.
We are not from principle the apologists of Administration—but malice, deep rooted malice, could not have suggested an idea like that quoted above from one of its advocates.
