FROM THE GEORGIA GAZETTE. The ESSAYEST. " And catch the manners living or they Parr. IT has often been remarked by travellers who have visited this country, that the Americans are lei's national than any other people ; which observation is undoubtedly pretty generally true. There feeins to be a natural propensity inalmolt every human being to think more favorably of himl'elf than of his neighbor ; of ascribing to hiinfelf virtues and qualities the poffefiion of which he is unwilling 10 allow to others ; and of detracting from them excellencies in which he is notoriouily deficient, and to which he can never liopero aspire by any subsequent exertions. This inclination ptedominates in the mind in propor tion as thecaufes of it are more or less powerful, more or less numerous. It reaches not only to individuals and private societies, bin extends its influence to States and nations. Thus we fre quently fee a foreigner so strongly prejudiced in favor of his country, from which perhaps he was transported for crimes that are a disgrace to hu manity, redden with anger at a supposed asper sion againlt his countrymen, by whom he had been treated with the greatefl contempt, which he very justly merited. That the Americans are exempt from national prejudice isfar from beiug the truth. The inhabitants of altnofl every State in America are diflinguifhed by fame particula rities, either of speech ®r behavior, peculiar to themselves. The inoft apparent national dif tintfions appear to exist between the natives of the New-Engiana States and the inhabitants of all the others, from their frequently (ligmatiz ing each other with the faiirical appellations of Cracker, Yankee, Lovers of Fork and Molafles, bad Pronouncers of their own Tongue, and many other such like elegant epithets. " Particular instances ought not to juflify general conclu sions." Therefore that behavior which charac terizes a few in any State ought not to be indis criminately attributed fa all, nor (lamp their national character. To judge of a whole peo ple by a tew individuals argues want of experi ence, an unacquaintance with men and manners, and a mind clouded with prejudice and absorbed in ignorance. " There are good as well as bad in all societies." If a parallel were drawn be tween the northern and fourhern States, hy bal ancing the advantages and disadvantages on both fides with regard to the use of cant words and 'he fcaje might preponderate in favor of .the former, tor there the greatefl attention is paid to learning, which is conspicuous in the number and diversity of excellent literary insti tutions eltablifhed in every part. The convet fation of many of mv fellow-citi zens, at certain seasons especially, turns entirely on the meetings and exploits (past, present, or 10 come) of the Sons of St. Patrick, St. Andrew, -St; George. I could wish to observe to those who have been born in countries under the flip, posed patronage of any of the aforefaid Right Worfliipful Personages, but have left them to take their final residence in America, that it would better become them to acknowledge their new father St. Tapiniany, who is a father to them by the fame rule that " a friend in need is a friend indeed," and who is so far from the ftrictneis of their former patrons that he lias ne ver attempted to enforce any other rule than that " every man fliall do as he pleases." But, if there is any excuse for the natives of Europe what are weto think of those who, as well as their lathers and grandfathers before them weie born in this country, and yet have searched their pedigrees to find out which of the European Saints they belong to ! There is Chriflopher Bogherty, a pretty equal mixture of German and Inlh, but perceiving that the Germans seldom frolic for their Saint, and indeed hardly know his name, he,in thedialeJt of his mother's family (wears he will join the Sons of St. Patrick, for he lias been drunk with them more as two times ar:a '/\ A "', l m y "eiglihor Jonathan Gregor, def ended on both fides from the fird fettle, s of New-England, is determined to join the sons of .St. Andrew , for, « «dds f watu p !t> as sure a] J>ia.<es, it hiuft be tarnation clever fun-," though the mixture in honed Jonathan's blood is such as would puzzle a good jockey, with all his knowledge of quarters, eighths, sixteenths. and thiu>-feconds, to ascertain what proportion of « is Scomfli.
