HONORARY DISTINCTIONS.
The following is very well written es
say satirizes a very ridiculous and com
mon custom. So trite has it become,
that in the publication of a college no
tice the trustees, who happen to be in
public office, have some “ honorable”
appellation tacked to their tail. It was
but the other dny, that a Philadelphia
paper announced the arrival at Wash
ington, of “ His Excellency the Post
Master General i” Away with such
mummery ! It is a “ custom, more hon
ored in the breach than observance.”
[Richmond Enquirer.']
AMERICAN COSTUME 4- TITLES.
Messrs Editors—Some time since, a
philosophic foreigner of some distinction
who was on a visit to this country, was
introduced to my acquaintance : nnd al
though he was the owner of a real tills,
yet he likewise possessed (what most of
our officers have lost or discarded) a
spirit sufficiently republican to despise
all titles. As he was anxious for infor
mation relative to every thing concern*
ing the American people nnd their go
vernment, I did net permit my zeal in
favor of our own country, to sleep on this
occasion : but enumerated an hundred
blessings and advantages which our In
dependence k our republican institutions
gave ns over every other nation. He
was desirous of abandoning his title and
his country, and of finding a pure and
simple republic fur his future residence,
if such a one could be found on this
globe. And Ihe high encomiums he had
heard in favor of our republic, induced
him to cross the Atlantic, and investigate
our claims to republican simplicity him
self. And the result thus far was, that
he had been misinformed on some of the
most important points.
He denied that we were Independent
in fact, but only in name. For notwith
standing that we bad shaken off the shac
kles of British legislation, yet Great
Britain still held us in voluntary bond
age by the influence of her manufactures,
nnd more especially by her fashions !—
Your very knives and forks prove that
you are dependent upon her at least
three limes every day : and your blan
kets testify (he same thing at night.—
Nay, says, he, I have visited Washing
ton, your national capitol, and many of
vour state capitols, the centres of your
republican virtues, nnd there I find still
stronger evidence of your dependence on
Great Britain ; for your President, your
Governors, your Senators, your Con
gressmen and your Assemblymen* all
wear the badge of dependence on Great
Britain either in preferring her cloths,
or what is a thousand times worse, using
her fashions ; and thereby rendering your
country tributary to British Tailors and
British Milliners ! I! Has any nation
a right to boast of their Independence,
who are still dependent on another for
the very cut of their coats ?
I informed him, that some years ago,
I hud anticipated all his remarks, and
N INE months afterdate, application will be
made lo the Inferior court of Baldwin
county for leave to sell the tract of land belong,
ing to Iverson Smith, orphan of Thomas Smith,
deceased. SAMUEL GOODALL, Guard'll.

November 18 40—St
committed them to the press. And that
I had even gone so far as lo propose that
congress should either appoint a regn'ar
committee to enquire into the propriety
of recommending the introduction of a
permanent American costume : or they
niight meet as private individuals at
Wushinghton, and after devising a pro
per costume, recommend its adoption to
(heir fellow citizens. I would stake my
life, that such a recommendation would
be received with acclamation by the A-
merican people ; nnd that step once
gained, would go far towards completing
our national character. My plan includ
ed likewise another: that was for the
ladies of Washington to have a general
meeting for the same purpose, and after
renouncing adhesion to France and Eng
* I must make an honorable exception to
this just remark in favor of some of our
western legislators, who scorn to be indebted
lo foreigners, for the tut of their garment s
and dress at all times in a Rifle frock. God
bless the hunting shirt, it is pure American,
and as such I prefer it before the coronation
robes of king Gangs the fool
land, to strike out into a new sphere of
their own.
The next, and most indefensible ob
jection of this worthy and enlightened
foreigner, was, our national hankering
after despicable titles. He wae aston
ished, Si confounded, at the great Ailing
off of our people from their first sound
principles. Instead of finding one Presi
dent in Mr. Monroe, be was continually
hearing and reading of President Adams,
President Jefferson end President Ma
dison. Instead of one Governor in each
state he found generally half a dozen :
who notwithstanding they received a half
dozen doses of“ Your Excellency” ate-
very corner ofthe street, or room where
they happened to be, still snuffed the
tainted breeze of flattery, with all the im
portance & complacency, that i have seen
one ragged nobleman in Italy address a-
nother of no better plight. Your Judg
es, your Secretaries, and your Congress
men are all titled " The Honorable” both
in office and out. And I have often
smiled to see your Assemblymen imita
ting your Congressmen, who ngain imi
tate the British Parliamentmen in bandy
ing about the “ Honourable ’ titles, like
shuttlecocks to one another !
But when I see the multitude of Es
quires, who like “ crows in a cornfield”
already begin to swarm over this repub
lic, and who are as tenacious of this dis
tinction in their intercourse with each
other, ns your President and Governors
are of their “ ExcellenciesI cannot help
but exclaiming, God help the republic :
for the Devil has been sowing the tares of
aristocracy, while the republicans slept.
I plainly see the seeds of a formidable
aristocracy springing np amongst you,
in the shape‘of your Excellencies, your
Honourables, and your “ Esquires” !—
The favourable impressions I had imbi
bed, respecting the republican simplici
ty of your manners and customs, have
received a powerful check. And al
though I admit thut yon are still the hap
piest nution on earth, yet that is not a
sufficient encouragement to a man of a
philosophical turn of mind, who is about
seeking for a permanent resting place foe
himself Si his posterity, under the wings
of a pure and simple republic: And
who in looking over the page of history
finds no instance of any permanent re
public ; and although be was left to ex
pect such a one in the U. S. yet he fear
ed that we were advancing with rapid
strides townrds establishing a titled aris
tocracy. If hock titles were prized is
highly by all our officers of government,
he had better remain in Europe, and
there enjoy the benefits to be derived
from (he possession of a real title ; for
he was sufficiently versed in the ma
chinery of governments to know, that
such anti-republican, principles never
could have attained theirpresent growth,
unless they had been secretly cherished at
Head Quarters! ! I
This liberal minded foreigner express
ed my own opinion so fully on this subject
that I felt humbled and ashamed at tho
prospect before us ; and without making
any other reply, I handed him a eopy of
an essay 1 had before written and pub
lished, to counteract this tendency to
national degradation !
Can any thing be done, Mr. Editor, to
check this daring, this alarming invasion
on the sacred simplicity of our republi
can institutions ? I think there cun :
provided the people have sufficient spir
it left to act for themselves, and place no
more dependence on their titled repub
licans. Let the untitled citizens of e-
very town and county call a meeting and
adopt resolutions similar to the follow
ing :
“ Resolved, that as tbe great number
of titled Mobility already introduced a-
mongst us, may hereafter serve as nest
eggs to hatch out a titled Nobility, we
hereby solemnly pledge ourselves never
to support by our votes at any election,
any man who either gives or receives
the titles of “ Excellency, Honourable or
Esquire"; as all such appellations or dis
tinctions are direct insults to the princi
ples and feelings of the American people,
and calculated to bring our republican
institutions into contempt.”
If this should not be attended with tho
desired effect, I know of no other reme
dy, than fur the untitled people to form
themselves into patriotic and correspon
ding societies, and carefully exclude all
those gentry who are so fond of moek-tx-
