Oft every ha^d they come in fof. full share of abuse—sometime* deserved—sometinoes the contrary—but always certain to undergo it all without pity from any, whether friend or roe. No matter by what fatality a letter or pAcket may be miscarried— Whether by the danger* of "flood or field"—the unfortunate Postmasters on the route art promiscuously attacked with the usual amouut of Indication* and, not unfrequently, with a dpuble portion of illiberulity. A public Money Receiver may default for thousands— Pension Agciil* may forge, and otherwise peculate on the public bounty—the public Treasury may be swindled—and we scarcely orqr bear a whisper in condemnation—but a lettar delayed a few days, or,# packet 'misient,' it sure to draw/lawn unmitigated reproach on that class which Jfr» Van Burensonpe denounced ,|«f ."rascally Po*tmasters.M This courso is too generally pursued, in public and privitto* Indeed, from all w» witntss, such complaints are indulged by no purticapa us iv el S a a a Illinois AdeomUt, decidedv and aomewbat ultra Jackson print, thus rcproocbes the Post Office Department.

Johnson, while he kept in his own order, was a thousand tinies greater than thr highest of them. There was nothing which he could, learn from them, except the smoothness of the surface. The loss *as to them, not io hitnw 1*3 am for an ancient, inherited, and inheritable aristocracy, because 1 firmly believe it to be for the good of the whole but I am ob servile worshipper of it ].would not for.a moment submit to its insolence nor.pajrany other respect to it than the fofral ceremonials which atHach to. its precedence I And aS to a parvenu aristocracy^ 1 think it one of the greatest abuses of social institutions. If men think? talents or wealth just grounds of distinction'-rns they are—ielthem relj on that on which they buiJd their distinction. Though Jolvnsdn associated little with the great, he had.the weakness to feel an adulatory reverence of them at the first add^e®. He was in this respect the reverse ofStviff,'whotK contrary extreme was, however, still more .offensive and absurd* "In my time I have not found med who conversed at all like JohnsonV-thou^h seveial who excelled in humor^ and the relation ofotories and bon-moU« Johnson ad seenja-diversity of bleary characters bceh adoiitled intb all the penetralia ot authorship, and with a deefi natural sagacity he saw into^ these men's mindsf and all their worki&gs. The- result was too much abatement of the. jreSpect which the world had paid them.

I knew Scott, who threw into bis conversation the character of hia writing,but I never saw Byron 1. suspect that he did not .converse very,r well,, expect by spine momentary,fit:,he was'lqp morbid^ topje^l-

hwvearpufl^jWpSjjjOuSj and too irrihiblef!, His knowledge w^is irregular, and ,h»^ whole mind a chaos of light and ^durkoessi*?/Bloomfieltlj dull in con versa lion but humble, bimpte, mild, and unpretending. Some cultivate a technical air of. conversation, which, if

Inoffensive, is apt to be quaint and insipid. It appeals to me (hat the immediate results of couversatioa are seldom, as instructive as the hints the/ elicit /or future consideration* j, arr{t "Cow per lived in. ulte'r seciuston, bui speculated eloquently upon the moral world. He was not at the mercy of the opinions of the day but looked upon things with his own uninfluenced mind. He saw the vanities of all the bubble passions and amotions of bustling mankind. The simplicity, and frankness witU w|ijch he poured out his impressions have made him ?t favorite even with that multitude whose wajs he despised. Hie worliling hi rose If is frequently sick of the stir and dust in which be lives, and enjoyt solitude atl«-ast inimagination# "But those outbreaking? are still more ibrcible in Ccwley than in Cowper, because Cowley had been long involvT, ed in the toil and fevei of public business. Charles Cotton aod" Sir Henry Wotton also are deligbiful praisers of, solitude.-— Charles Fox, when hcy^etircd, to St. Anne's Hill, felt intense)! Uie joy of solitude. Johnson atone, of speculative minds, bad a bonw of solitude*

remarks ihatf though Johnson

lived latterly at the ta bit of wealth and lujeury, he never flhirigltrd in the Society of hrghHife. The truth' is that hi* early habits were offensively vulgar, and every rank of life had then itrowti habits and ceremonials, which perhaps were carried too far though great evils have arisen from throwing dewrt, as at present, allbarriers. No one ever yet entirely put off, when closely viewed, the familiar usages of his childhood. It vtduld not, therefore, have been desirable for Johnson in those days to have much mixed with classes so much above him in mere station, And mhat would he have gained! Each class iswell in itsowb way, but not to go out of it.
