 try, it IS certain that those parties which created by national questions, and which have an immediate connexon with great national affairs, will prevail over state or local parties We mentioned in last that the names, democrat and federal, have lost all their sgni- icance, and that they wiK soon be swallowed ap by the names which will be assumed by the new contend~ ing parties in our country. We know it is strenuous y contended by certain Jackson prints, that the pres. ent administration is federal-tha is principally sup ported and sustained by federalsts sfthc o school. The proof of this assertion the bare ipse drit of those who make it. That the administration num- bers among its warmest supporters ,aany old school federaliss, cannot be tenied neither do wish to deny it. On the other hand, the majority of the lea ders of the Proposition" are pursuing course in attempting to weaken the hands of Mir. Adams, il his present exalted station. They were found in the during the administration of fIcferson, and more especially when Madison filed thr chair of state. Then when the whole united energies of the country were wanted, in carrying just with one ofthe most powerful nations the earth these same men left efforts untred to weaken the hands of govern ment Now these individuals exalted to the high est pitch of political rectitude, by the whole posse of the opposition writers, while such men as dams, Clay,
 
 eralsts, enemies of their country, and unfit for any of fee ofhonor crnolument These men stood firm in the of their country during the darkest political times ofthc last twenty years. If such application of obsolete-poitical names be not ridiculous absurd ity, we know not what would constitute an nconss- tcncy.
 greater political parties swallow up the lcss, aa, if the present national parties made up of malgamaton of the old political parties, as they posi- lively are how is possible that the lines of demar- Ration between those old parties should be traced so as to render the application of either ofthe names by which they were known, to any or set men, of any benefit or injury We have no anxiety about the name by which we called. So long as we can not be accused of opposing of vital import ance to the prosperity of our country of advocating measures injurious the best interests of the people, it is of little importance to whether we are called federal or democrat. Show man who is friend to free and unbiased election of state ofcers,to a choice of the best men for ofice-who is an ardent supporter of the great American System' of protec ing and chershins domestic industry, of prosecuting Internal Improvements, and of bringing the whole sources of the country to bear upon the honour ard prosperity of his native land and we will point out this man patriot worthy of trust and confidence, whatever name certain political demagogues may choose to call him. Show us man who is labouring necessarily to destroy republican administration, and with it every vestge of that which enobleth us as nation,-thc prosecution of Internal Improvements, and the protection of Domestic Industry and we will look upon this person one whose principles are di- ametrcay opposed 10 the best interests of our coun> ", and at direct variance with the doctrines nculca- ted by Jefferson, however he may boast of his repub- ican rectude and thunder his anathemas against others.
 We have never advapced the idea that parties do not and ought not to exist in country. We have never said we should take middle ground between the parties which do exist, and which have been strengthening their lines the pastyear. We have how always sad and said it understandngly too that relative to the old party distinctions we should take neither side: that we should not attempt to fan tie expiring ombers of old political strife into fame- We have also said we should yield awarm and hearty support to present national administration solong as it pursued that upright and patriotic course which has thus far marked its way and also that we should oppose vigorously every upwarrantabe assumption of power either in national or state politicians How far we have adhered to this course our files will te Pursuing this has however subjected us to some nnimadverson and much anxiety. Some of our req. ders supposed that when we opposing what eve " individual must call unwarrantabe assumption
