FROM THE ANTI DEMOCRAT.

Modern Patriotism.-If the different political sectarians who are attached to the democratic party, were not awed by the respectability, by the talents, by the wealth by the integrity of the federalists, there would at once be a convulsion among the leaders of democracy, by far more dangerous than all the enmity that exists among the whole body, to federalism. An accurate classification would divide the demos into many different sects. At present we shall content ourselves by exhibiting them in two only. These are genuine, honest, undesigned republicans. and principled, demoralizing jacobins. The first seem to embrace almost all the country people, who are attached to the cause of the present administration. The second are few in comparative numbers; they are men of craft, education, information, intrigue and ambition. They profess the principles which honest politicians respect : they pretend to zeal, to a general devotion to the people ; and thus establish themselves by deception. Their work is not yet accomplished. They are retarded in the grand devout by the solid, firm, impenetrable, unyielding phalanx, which is opposed to them by genuine federalism. It is against this phalanx that all the different democratic sects, from the virtuous republican to the unprincipled anarchit, unite their forces. Happy, indeed, is it that our country is saved from the impending ruin, by a body of such insuperable resistance. Without pretending to foresee or foretell when this dangerous delusion is to terminate, we cannot refrain from expressing feigned joy that there is something which promises to countervail the misrule vice and vicious men. The cormorant democracy preys upon itself. Clinton and Burr ; M'Kean and Duane ; Mercer and Mason : Taylor and Burr ; all devour each other : while the genius of America, in a mouldering cave, retired from view, weeps over the degeneracy of her sons. It has been reported that a certain great man wishes to shake off Gallatin, Paine, Duane and Cheetham, and that he has almost accomplished it as to the three last. He begins to wish to manage his own affairs in his own way, undisturbed by too much regulation. But the Genevan marplot is too strongly fixed in popularity to be influenced by hints or nods. The great man ought to have thought of this before he connected his character and popularity with fugitives from the justice of other countries. But, as he seems to be in a dilemma, the following anecdote is offered to his consideration, as an excellent precedent...

The late Duke of Orleans, of France; suspecting that his treasurer squandered his money, gave him notice that, on a certain day, he should call upon him for a settlement. The treasurer immediately exerted himself among his friends, and obtained, by loans, as much money as was necessary to make up all deficiencies.-- The Duke was punctual to the time. The treasurer, satisfied that all the money was in the boxes, tendered the keys to the Duke : he received them, put them into his pocket, and dismissed the treasurer from his service. How it fared with the friends of the treasurer has not been told. If the great man should act in the same way with the Genevan, 'tis likely that a considerable embarrassment would be produced among the agents. The great man, however, by adopting this plan, might save the public from future losses : and would also make some atonement for having prostituted the fame of his country, by having descended into the very ditch of society in search of agents and confidants : some of whom, in contempt of decency, and the most common regard to the rights and feelings of society, he has elevated so high that they almost shake his own throne. The man who could deliberately attempt to take advantage of his own bosom friend, in a relation which could never be pardoned, and never can be justified, would not hesitate to sacrifice a thousand Gallatins, Paines, Duanes, and Cheethams, if any point of personal consequence could be obtained by the event. These runaways may look to, and reflect upon, this remark, if they please.-ibid.
