LITiRAHY IN T E i.Llfi Els' C E
Richard All op, Esq. one of the few genu

Ii is not yet received, but Irani the
claifical attainments, delicate title,, and i

Skilled in the " tongue of Tufcany" and
with a faticy, glowing from the prrufal of
the feats of Orhnda, and those " eld ro
mances" which a Miltok was wont to de
vour, Mr. A. cannot fail to interefl the
passions and sooth the ear of every critic.
To the state of Connecticut men look for
much of the true and the heautiful. For
tunately for the quiet and 44 {Utility of the
times, fbr is not yet wearied of lending to
the commonweal her sober and ftedfafl poli
ticians. Fortunately for the interests of
learning flie abounds with men of genius
and various literature. This real and well
ordered little republic neither was, nor is,
nor e'er can be a rebel. Happily almost
wholly exempt from pliilofophers, political
projeflors, and Gallic meny andrews ; and
abounding with a discerning, studious, qui
et and moral people, the ark of government
and the temple of wisdom and the mules
there find their befl and Cured foundations.

Whence coines it—indeed it won«ld be a
curious morlal of {peculation far the new
phitofophy, that Pennsylvania so much fa

iictie fatisfa&ioA ; 'till at length the aged
Patriarch, injured in his private fortunes,
his frame and faculties worn down with vex

to his riling colony. The guardians of his

Has the tamper 4)f the State been better
ed by revolution ?—indeed so little varying
and so little likely to be latisfied, that I am
often reminded of one of the fables of the
sage E\op. It is familiar to every body,
but to make out my story, let me here insert
" The Commonwealth of Frogs, a discon
tented Variable race, weary of liberty, and
fond of change, petitioned Jupiter to grant
them a king. The good Matured Deity, in
to indulge this their request, with as little
mifchief as possible, threw them down a log.
At firft they regarded their new monarch
W'tli £,reat reverence, and kept from him at
a mofl refpe&ful distance : but perceiving
his tame and peaceable disposition, they by
degrees ventured to approach him with more
familiarity, 'till at length they conceived for
him the utmofl contempt. In this disposi
tion they renewed their request to Jupiter,
and intreated him tobeftow upon them nne
ther king. The thundefcr in his wrath lent
them a who no sooner poflefTion
of his new dominions, than he began to de
vour his fubjedii in a niuft capricious and
tyrannical maniier. They were now far
more difiatisfiad than before ; when apply
ing to Jupiter a third time, they were dis
missed with this reproof, that the evil they
complained of they had imprudently brought
upon thrmfelves ; and that they had no
other rsmedv now but to submit to it with
patience/'
Pennsylvania, to be fare, enjoys a peculiar
favor—the aflual choice and nomination of
a chief Ruler, and every nine yeats her peo
ple are fullered to exercil'e theie rights, yet
.ft range to tell, they.once made choice of a
log—and a narrolefs quiet log' he would have
tfduitied, but for a vile foreign agitator that
leapt into the pind. Still not content, al
ways croaking, and like the frogs in the fable
grown too familiar with king log, they cast
tfeir eyes upon one with some different qual
ifications you tnay suppose : and, oh blind
infatuation ! the fagacitus frogt of Penn
fylvjnia chose a very Crane to govern them.
Mod certainly ye are not now fatisfied—
perverle generation !—But I fav be quiet,
be patient—-no reviliirgj, be dutiful. What
ever his honor may lay of rotation ; " let
political distrust and party feud be subdued
