If they or their families should claim any peculiar position in society on account of past honours, the whole country ENGLISH AND AMERICAN MANNERS. 139 would deride their folly and inconsistency. Yet there are not wanting those among us who, with no claim beyond a little wealth and that, too, depending on a mercantile basis, proverbially fleeting, attempt to imitate, on a small scale, the aristocratic insolence which they observe in the English; forsake the true and wholesome notions of kindnes...s and consideration for others in which their parents were educated, and practise the coldness, the disregard, the egotism, which have been the natural growth of society in which caste has been recognised for thousands of years. The true glory of the American character at home or abroad, is simplicity, truth, kindness, and a strict regard to the rights and feelings of others. Whenever the con- ventional standards of other nations conflict with these, they should be repudiated by us, however fascinating they may seem to our pride.
