and worship the golden calf which Messrs Benton and
Van Buren, and Sias Wright and Cambreleng have set
The Post said somo time ago, this is NOT an open
question, The party hare settled IL party qaesfion.

Democracy - why what fool was that king Csnute,
who seated himself upon the beach and commanded the
resstless mountain surge roll back! Do these puny
officials hope to turn back the current Of the free
American mind
The Globe says, "This seems to be the age Of trea
son The number of deseons, in the last few years,
from the Of the people and the constitution TO the
polluted den Of the bank, is appalling to the hopes,
sckening the heart and degrading to the nature Of
man.
and the Globe, Argus and Post, all cry out q scA-
RIOTS, TRAITORS, APosTArEs." These are borrowed
ephets, borrowed from the old files OF the KINGS
PRINTERS Of l777 as applied to Washington, Frank
lin, Jefferson, Hancock, and their compatrios. Did
these hard and resilings deter or cover those
noble spirits No, they regarded them as the mpo-
tent ratings Of miserable hireng slaves Of the king
Did these base epthets .arnsh the fair names OF those
great men! No, they shine glorious in the pages Of
tempble kings officials, who revled them, are lost in
oblvious night numbered only In contempt and
deIision.
The Conservatives of that period saved the country
from the chains forged by the weak and wicked court Of
ST James The Conservatives Of this period have
saved the country from the chains forged and forging by
the weak and wicked court Of Washington City.
"Audacous treason (says the Globe) may prosper
awhile but cannot prosper long" These are the very
words that the kings official printers applied to our
fathers Of the revolution, who through suerings and
sacrifices swept British desposm from our land-they
are applied by Mr. Van Burens official printers to the
Conserv aves-who have or will sweep his schemes OF
desposm from the land No. not has, for he is the Se-
hice Of the inventions and schemes OF others-the
instrument that thinks other mems thoughts and speaks
other mems words.
We say. and say it, though not boastngiy, we
say il esressy, and in asprt OF manly patriotic Frde,
that the Conservatives have saved the country from
fearful despotism, which the deep dark minds who
guide and control Mr. Van Buren had contemplated to
tx upon US We say, without the fear OF conrsdic-
ton, that the Conservatives have saved the Republic.
So deep, so strong, so sklfuly, and ramfcd, had
the party machinery been laid, that all the powers and
all tho skill Of the Wing party, was utterly inadequate
to check or remove il. For this we ask nothng we
desire nothing 1t was duty owed to our country,
our wives children, and prosperity and for our
toll and cxertons, and the poignant suherings which
necessarily arise sundering ties, and swervlng party
connexions and iraterha syhPa'nes' VINO" Win many W
us ha We been forty years in forming and cemenng-we
arc already compensated aye, tenfold compensated in
the heartfelt satisfaction Of the glorious achievement
But we must not ground our arms the desructives,
though shattered, broken, and covering, still in the
field and occasionally obtain locatrumphs That bold
bad desperate nullifyer Of the South has joined his
forces to those of the weak bad man OF the North
Let us then remain banded, firmly as the Lacede-
monian phaanx, regardless Of what other parties or
other forces do regardless Of numbers the business Of
conservation needs but few. lie, US remain banded
until Conservative principles and Conservative
policy shall be firmly established in every State Of this
glorious Union7
One word more. Should it not shock and astound
the age that the favored officials Of Mr. Van Buren,,
feeble so covered with inmties, should dare to charge
such men as Rves, Tamadge, Clark, Garland, Legarc,
and their compstrots with the crime Of treason, au
dacious treason !"
Il is most clear in this case that heaven has doomed
and permitted madness to seize on them.-Nep York
