Duff is raking up old Documents connect
ed with the proceedings of the New Eng'a
people, about the Embargo Law and the
War We are not the apologists nor deten-
ders of those proceedings. On the contrary,
we think they were disgraceful to the char
acter Of all concerned in them And we sin-
| cersly regret, as we are also astonished, that
men who stiguatise the conduct OF the New
England malcontents, should justify the South
Carolina disunionists. Ii these be any diff
ference, it is in favor of the former, as any
man will perceive who will take the trouble
to run q parallel between the facts.-ib.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Branch did Of

as Secretary of the Navy, but that he wa.
persuaded by the President to stick little
longer. IL his resignation had been accept

. A very silly and ridiculous cry is now rails
ed by the Telegraph, and echoed by its CO
adjufors. about Federalists and Federalism
There is not man Of common sense in the
community who does not know that this is
all atE We do not see how the Thousands
! of honest Federalists who supported General
! Jackson, viii bear the cashgations they re-
ceive from the Government Journal. 1t is
well known that very large pait Of the old
/ Federal party are jackson men at this day,
and the President has very honorably and
laudably bestowed important trusts upon Fe-
! deral gentlemen. We need mention no 9TH
er instances than Mr. McLane, and Mr.. Ber-
rien. And yet the hue and cry is raised a.
gainst Federalists, and they are stigmatized
| with every opprobrious epithet which can be
found in the full voc abulary of the Govern
ment Printer. But who so blind as not to
see the cause of this movement? 1t is all
done for ctfect--Ths Federal party, as par
ty, they knew is extinct, and they fight and
hack the air to make people believe they are
contending with formidable foe. We are

| Duff knows between two stools a man comes
to the ground-ib.
! Let US enquire Of Gen. Duff Green, if the
! spasms OF terror he now endures, are for the
Republican party, or his amiable self? Has
! he in good earnest, any idea that the Federal
party as such, or in any other shape, exists
separately? Does he not know, that when
/ in 1916, by the policy Of MIR. Monroe, by the
, successful close of the war, and by the utter
desperation of their cause, the Federal party
dissolved in its own weakness, that they in
differently, as inclination, accident or ambi-
ton prompted, ranged themselves in the new
parties which soon after sprang up, and that
as many of them were Crawfordites in 1924,
and Jacksonites in 1928, as the friends OF Mr..
Adams in either of those contestsp If the
General i, acquainted with the political his
tory of the country, he must know those
facts-and if he has spark of candor In his
composition, he must admit them. What
bamboozlIng Of his readers is it then-worse
than that--what paltering with his own con
science is ito cali up the Ghost of the Fed
eral party, and solemnly stalk it through the
columns ofthe Telegraph as living thing
Ought not the General to be more respectful
to his readers, than try to scare them with
spectrea Being military man, ought he not
to have more respect for himself, than to dis |
cover SO much trepidation at raw head and !
