(Froin the Sydney Morning Herald). ) 1 Patriots.—That shrewd Yankee, Sam Slick, '-'has enumerated five kinds of patriots in the colonies : “ Rebel patriots, mahogany, patriots, 1 spooney patriots) place patriots', arid real genuine patriots.” He 1 then describes the, characteristics of each Pf.theses species.of. the genus patriot” iirhik oWnquaint, forcible style. *\A rebel patriot , is a geWtleman that talks much better than he • fights, hante got much property 'in l a ginneral ' way, and hopes to grap. a littlej-.m a universal •" scramble. He starts on his own hook, looks •h to his own rifle for support, and'shoots his own game. If he got his due, heV would get a • ' gallus for his reward.—A mahogany patriot is a critfdr-that rides 'like a beggar; a horseback: you’ll know liim by his gait; As soon as he - blgiiiß to get bn in' the world .a-, bit, he is en/ vious of all them that’s above him, and if. ljid can’t get hisJegs, onder. the mahogany of his .bis .better’s,, from them. To skin nis'pride over andTslayie his .vanity, he says lie is excluded on account of his politicks' and patriotism, martyr to his v.artue. This, chap nristakfeS for /'independence, and abuse for imanliness ; jhe is jist about a little the dirtiest and nastiest m . bird of the whole flock of: patriots. This feller should rbe sarved out in his, own way; he should, stand .in the- pillory, and fee pelted with rotten eggs. — A spooney patriot is a well meaning, silly Billy, who thinks the world can.be to squares like a draftboard, and governed by systems; wh6 ? talkS%bjsut reform, 1 codyfyMi. progression, schoolmaster abroad, A* libeipity, responsibility, ; and 61 Marcel of catchu;; words) that) he don’t kiiow r tHe meaning of. ’ Thfe cjiap' is a fool, and ought- to 1 go the irifei’M inary. pface patriot is a rdgffe ; hie panders <to popular (prejudice, appeals to the passions of ' ! the > mob,. andt tries to. set them agin’ their ri neighbours, and attempts' to ride oil their ' %fisiide?s into ,,! the government/arid to secure ;plUce,/'will sacrafice evetything that is valuable, and good, and respectable. Hois a philosopher in his religion, and a rascal in his philosophy. " 'tie'is wilful’, arid acts against-cdhviction. This 'Wri is the'loudest and tnost dangerous of all, janil should go to the workhbuse true ls patriot is ohC vdio is neither a ; sycophant to the J> goyefflinent nor a tyrant-to th#people, but one •' whd manfully oppose either 1 , when they are wrong, whc) regards what’s'Hghti as Minister ; inland not-what iripbpular; tyho sup- * Aperts : existing insiitiitionP is 1 '' wfeii’ to mend'or repair afty part‘that is defec- * tive;”: ‘ ■ v " - '
