Very few people have it i< their power to reduce them to practice becauic, they i., .e indullry for thei foundation ; and he who is converfan' with mankind mnft have observed it to b*- a quality 'arely met with. It is the.-fine evident that Franklin's max ims mull operate jn a very limited cir c! ' ; while the following, I presume, will be of infinite service to all those who wilt to acquire fortunes, without Indjifhy, Ecoaomv or Virtue. Many authors of credit have aflerted, that every man hits a genius fitted for fomt icicnce utf prouuoii ; and by pro ceeding in the path nature has thus af iigned him, he will become eminent. Lavater, whose writin on physiogno my promise fair to bring that science into repute, boldly afTerts, and almoll itieontrovcrtably proves that thequalities of the mind are vilibly expressed in the countenance. I acknowledge the po tency of his arguments ; and as very few countenances exhibit the ligns of a pre fcfTed hypocrisy, it cannot be expected many of the* readers will become illnltri ous, from the observance of the princt pies and maxims laid down in this eflay: but I will take upon me to fay, they may be benefited from it, and in fom'e j measure succeed. - Those who have been obliged to flee from England, on aucouut of ti.ir tricks being detected, will find this es say of inestimable value, when they en ,ter on a new life in' America i it. will enable therfa to avoid the (hoals and of Integrity, upon which they founded in. the wtlier world. Not withftandiiifrthe spirit of Chrifli- Silfty has been long diipeufed with in the trading tvorld, yet the cotter under Svhich it used to be kept, is found of infinite service- And such as wish to rife in life will find a cloak of'this Reli gions Itiiff absolutely necessary* " Set a thief to Catch a thief," is a vulgar proverb: yet all worthy ttaofaftioiis vouch for its truth. Judicious emigrants from England will aiTume the garb os-same persecuted • it will et.fure them a cordial re ception in a country where " birds of a fenflier Sock togetheu" When introduced to a llranger of the f»me feel, fay very little j but when he mentions any circumf. ji)ce ofpcrftcution, or touches on the tin-ies, be fare to twirl your thunjbs, and look at the ceiling overhead, that he miy have an oppor tunity of viewing the wliite part of your eves ; at the fame time a gentle (hake of the head, will shew the purity of yojlr heart, and convince him, you are a man of feeling. With him your bu siness is done and you may rely upon mv word, that he will exert himfelf to the utmolt in your service, \then it does not interfere with his ownintereft. With a mail of bufirifefs your talk is move difficult; he will probably begin to talk on the fubjett of trade, and on your joining the Conversation he would hare a.i opportunity of feeing your ig norance and thereby deprive, yourfelf of his" afiiftance. The greatest caution is here neceflary ; —Anfwer him by—yes or no—taking care to coincide with him in opinion, until you are become acquainted with his mode of thinking: —this done you may venture—" I knew it, Sir," —'tis quite familiar," — " That's art observation 1 myfelf have frequently made," —taking care to avoid giving any opinion of your own. By this means he will be given to under stand you are more-conversant in the subject than himfelf, the pleasure he receives fiom hearing his own discourse will prevent his discovery of the cheat and make him fancy, your conduct proceeds from gravity and knowledge. Gonfcious of his own feelings; igno ta'nt of yours, he will place a dependence oh your superior judgement and afford you opportunities of, " taking him in." In company with men who may be nefit you, listen to their conversation, and whenever you have an idea on the fame fiibjecV, which rather improves uppn theirs, mention it : they will give yiiii credit for underftandirig the whole better than themselves. In all compa nies opportunities of this kind occur, aud the person who has sense to avail himfelf of them will certainly find his advantage. Impudence is a great virtue.

The committee appointed to take into C6n- Jideration the refilves of the Democra tic Society, held in Philadelphia, May ifl, 1794, make thefollowing report : I ft. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That the government of the United States ought to be adminiltered upon a fair and honed conftrutkion of the conllitution, as explained to the people at the time of its adoption ; and that the people received it under full af furancethat the three different branches were to be kept diftindt, is manifelt. 2(5". Resolved, aithe opinion of this Sodety, That the appointment of John Jay', Chief Justice cf the United States, as envoy extraordimry to the court of Great Britain, waga flagrant outrage committed on the fp:it and plain sense <;f the constitution, by uniting func tions which were evtt intended to be kept diltinfl, which has a direst ten dency to dellroy all responsibility in Both the judiciary and executive depart ments. 3d. Resolved, as the opinion of this Soc&ty, That after '.he declaration of John Jay, that the British were per fedily right jn their detention of the wellern polls, to appoint him to a bu siness which immediately involved a re quisition of those polls, was a very im proper measure, as it could not be pro bable that his efforts would be strenuous when he acted in direst contradiction to iiis decided opinion. 4: h. Resolved as the opinion of this Society, That it is too much narrow ing the salutary operations of a repub lican government to confine its adminis tration to a few individuals ; and thai our conSitution never intended a mono poly of functions-for any one of our citizens. sth. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That the objefls contemplated in the Appointment of John Jay, asei voy extraordinary to the Court of Grrat-Britain, mufl have been the per sonal aggrandizement of himfelf; 01 that he was a lit instrument to facilitate measures for bringing about a radical change in our republican government, and afiimulate it to the monarchical government of Great Biitain ; else why not confide in ourconful already at that court, whose abilities and integrity are unqtien'onable: 6th. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That mylteries in government are repugnant to the principles of re ■publicaniim ; and can exist only in such governments as are dependent upon, and subject to, the will of its rulers ; and that they were expelled this coun try with their kindred royalty upon the eftabli/hing of its independence; and any attempt to introduce them ag .in, (hould be regarded as a violation of e qtial liberty. 7th. Resolved, as the opinion ot this Society, that it is magnanimous in freemen tp watch over their liberties; and when anY attacks are tfiade Upon tlum, to point out the aggrefiors, that they may be held up as marks of the jest odium of offended liberty ; aid e vince to the world, that no iituatiun in life, neither family connexions nor il iu'lrious extra£tion, : nor elevation of of fice, nhr abounding in wealth, (hall f>rm a fufficient protection for any ci tizen in facnficing the interest of milli ons to promote the grandeur of a few.
