democracy own party The friends of Martin Van Buren, accord ing that oracle the only true Democrats Tn the countryand those Senators of the United States who will bow the knee to Baal denied that thrce-hon- ored name, and denounced Federalsts and Nuliers They will have seen, oo that Senator Buchanan of Pa
 has often been mentioned with singular honor n that pa per- and held up burning and shining light before the people of Arkansas. He is Van Buren Democrat, and the idol of the Gazette Now ask readers to carefully the following extracts from Fourth of u- y oration, delivered by this Senator BUCHANAN Lancaster Pa. before the Washington Association.
 There was powerful faction in the United States opposed to the adoption of the Federal Constitution The individuals of which ii composed, were called Anti-ederaliss. and the founders of the Demo- cratic Party. They glored in setting themselves in array against present admirable form of govern ment. The authors of this opposition were simply demagogues, who might have risen to the head of a State faction, but who felt conscious that their talents would be ecipsed, when the lumnaries of the United States should be collected around the General Gov ernment. To gratify their ambition, they wished that this country should continue divided into number of petty aes soveregnties, without any efficient govern ment for their control This they desired, although they had the example of ancient Greece before their eyes, and we'll knew that the clashing interests of the States, and their mutua! leaousless kept alive by a- ances with different foreign nations, would have made this country perpetual theatre of contention and of civil war, until had fled for refuge into the arms of desposm They therefore sounded the alarm through out the Union against the Federal Constitution. They predicted ruin to the State Governments and 10 the liberties of the people from the powers given to the General Government. By these means they succeed ed in alarming the fears of many good men, and induc ing them to believe that that Government, which the palladium of their safety. would be the insru ment of their destruction. Notwithstanding their des- perate efforts the Constitution adopted and Wash ingon elected President.

What the dreadful necessity for this desperate measure? Was dangers No. Was il to protect our little remaining commerce from the injuries sustained by the orders Ill council! No-Commerce not such favorite and the merchants wished for that account.
 What has been its resultl Exactly what every req sonabe man expected at its commencement. We
 
 for the purpose of annexng the United Staes oi compelling our enemy to yield the doctrine of inn pressnent IS immaterlal to the present question: In stead of conquering t, we have ourselves been invad ed ID every quarter and the best blood of the country has sreaHed ii defence of our own soil The very capitol of the United States, the lofty temple of liberty, which reared and consecrated by Washington, has been abandoned to its fate by his DEGENERATE successor, who ought to have shed his last drop of blood in its defence.
 After the administration had entered npon the war, instead of coming forward with manly confidence, and taxing the people for its support they basely shrunk from their duty Tn order to nanain their popularity and adopted the runous system of carrying the test by borrowing money. What were the effects of this pocy2--Does not every in the country know, was 1t even disguised by the administration, that the United States would, in short time, have become bankrupt, had not peace been concluded ?--Thanks then to Heaven, that we have obtained peace, BAD AND DISGRACEFUL AS TT IS; otherwise, the beautiful structure of the federal government, support ed by the feeble hands, might have sunk, like the capitol, into ruins.
