We are forming an aristocracy, as you may observe, in this country, not a gratia-Dei, nor a juredivino one, but a de-facto upper stratum of being, which floats over the turbid waves of common life like the iridescent film you may have seen spreading over the water about our wharves, very splendid, though its origin may have been tar, tallow, train-oil, or other such unctuous commodities.
