" Conversation is the criterion oj a/most every man i
tutelicitv.al went."
WE arc often disposed to pay a compliment to
men for then abilities and retfitude, upon
a very flight and fuperficial acquaintance. 1 Ins
liafty mode of estimating characters expoies us to
a degree of deception, and makes us value some
too hi oh and others too low. ihe talents ot a
man, no more than his difpofitien can be aker
tained without a strict fertiuny, and being con
versant with him on ordinary occasions, and in
the familiar walks of life. While men are in the
mere exercise of profeffional duty, or are exam
ined only bv the view they exhibit when acting
in a public 'capacity, they aflame artificial lonns,
and display borrowed abilities.
Some porfons indeed have the addreft t0
their real character always out of fight. They
will never «pose themfelvesto the tulnefs ofdo
meftic infpsctio'.i, being persuaded that they' may
risque the loi's of reputation 111 private, which tl ej
have obtained in public. For this real on, it is pru
dent for men who have acquired some fame an
influence for their abilities, to adopt a c..utious,
reserved mode of conversation. hveiy pei 011
who indulges liimfelf in an unrestrained .cope o
conversation, will, in some moments of inadver
tency, difeover follies and weaknel es, which a
more discreet rule of behavior would have con
cealcd. It is of utility to mankind that some
perfuns in focietv fimuld be viewed with aa.hign

degree of refpetft, atid be supposed snote
than ordinary difcernnient and rectitude. It is
of more importance to the World that a man Ihould
reiider himfelf refpetftable by his wjfdomandfo
briety ; than that he ftiould aim at being a g re< ; _
able by gaiety and affability; The truth is, if
we were intimately acquainted V/ith all men, we
should conlider them as tob nearly alike to pay
that refpedl to some, and feel that detestation for
others, which the good management of society !
absolutely requires. A high ftaee *f civilization
is founded on artificial circumfta.ncrs ; and it can
only be preserved by a forced departure from the
intrinsic character of things. We must admire

without examining too critically Jfhc grounds or
detestation. -

On Saturday evening last Colonel MarinUS VV u
let with Col. Alexander M'Gillivray and twen
ty eight chiefs of the Creek nation arrived in this
city' They will shortly proceed to vilit the Con
gress of the United States, in order to conclude
treaties, which, we hope, will secure peace to our
f#utherai brethern. These chiefs were received
by our citizens with every mark of attention.
The bells were rung ; the artillery fired a fede
ml salute, and with the light intantry companies
escorted the chiefs to the Indian Queen, where
lodgings were prepared for them ; and a great
number of people afl'einbled to behold the largelt
body of Indians, that has appeared in this metro
polis for many years. Yelterday they attended
divine service at Christ church.
Dr. Franklin fays—(for tho dead heyet fpeak
ethl it has been computed by some political
arithmetician, that if every man and woman
would work for four hours each day on something
ufeful, that labor would produce fufficient to pro

A correspondent observes, that the situation ot
the Poft-Office bill is truly critical.—The Houte
of Representatives are strenuous to have Itxty
Pott-Matters'General.— The Senate are averse to
more than ONE.—But the people being great
ly interested in this queftion> and the public
mind having anticipated and approved the plan
of SIXTY—it follows that the people are in a
fairway of having no new regulations at all—bn«
at an expense greatly overbalancing the benefit.
If sixty Pott Matters' General are lixty tunes
better than one, the amendment of the Senate
to the Poft-Office bill isa most abominable unpo
pular amendment. .
