number Of extracts from the writings and speech

to prove that they believed our present form Of h
was not strong enough to sustain IT. l.
self against the people and further extracts from
the writings of individuals, whom the editor says /

leaders Of the present Wing party, to prove that
then. the editor Of some paper III New York, and |
Noah Webster.hoid similar views OF the political e.
,o,orv Of our country as did the gentlemen, frs,
quoted. All this is done to identity me present
vh;v oorty with the old Fedora! party, and to
convince the public that the party which Is now

IN. nrinciples Of Alexander Hamilton and others
A refutation Of these charges, to the wing party
or those who have any acquaintance win 'he
course Of that party, and who are whinS ho"es'-
" to do them Justice, will appear Is useless, ana
ms time mispent. But to those who are accustomed
TO read but one side of the question, and take as
truth all that appears III the Van Buren, prints oil
the present dav, wish to make a low remarks
We will grant to be true, for the gra''ficaton ol
our neghbor. all he has quoted on the SUBJECT and
we suppose that he will not deny that THIS same
Federal party continued bound together until
1912, as the same body of politicians The r ed
eralists Of '9S, cannot be brought as living wit
nesses but the party is still in existence agree
able to our friends assertion, we will quote from
men who are now known to the American people,
whose speeches and opinions arc quoted and pub
lished as worthy the regard and support OF the
0dcmocracy'' Of the country. Wedo not contend
that tho Federalis,s belong exclusively to the van
Buren, party; but that the old Federal party OF
1912 is broken up, and that many OF those who
hold fast to their old opinions, and whose minds
have not been operated upon by the general in
telligence Of the age, are now prominent IN the
Magician's ranks.
We will first call upon the Hon. James Buch-
anan, Of Pennsylvania, late Minister to Russia,
and now an acknowledged partizan leader IN the
Senate. We quote from a 18th of July Grafton OF
his delivered at Lancaster, after the termnnat'o"
of the
"There was a powerful faction in the United
States opposed to the adoption OF the Federal Con
stitution The Individuals of which IT was COM
posed were called Anti Federaists, and we're the
founders Of the Democratic party. They GLoR-
led IN SETTING THEMSELVES IN ARRAY AGAINST QUIZ
PRESENT ADMIRABLE FORM oE GOVERNMENT. lHf
AUTHORS OF THIS OPPOSITION WERE SIMPLY dema
4 STATE FACTION"
"Thev at length became the majority of tn
natou and got its destnes placed in their hands
How they have used their power, It Will no"
nv endeavor to show.
tsTIME WILL NOT ALLOW ENuMERATE AL
THE OTHER WILD AND WICKED PROJECTS OF TIL
Democratic Administrations.
"Aftcr they had, by refusing the Bank of the
States a continuation of their charter, embarra
nIA ho q (IONernmGn
hey rashly plunged US into a icdr.
ssGluriOus il has been, in the highest degree,
the American character; but disgraceful in the e
eremc to the Administration.
ssChanks then to Heaven, that we have obtai
ed a peace, Rad AND DIsGRAcEFUL AS 1T Is:
AWo have not only not obtained by the war al
thing which we were taught to expect. but we ha
lost many valuable privileges. All the numero
rights and advantages guaranteed to us by Jay
treaty, have been rclinquished.'
Next in order, will quote from speech
livered during the last session of Congress,
the Hon. Isaac D. Wall, the Democratic Sena'
from New Jersey, he said,
"Here, Sir, in the presence of the Americ
people, auow that was fcdcralist, and act
with that party, zeslously and actively, SO long
their flag waved in New Jersey"
Next, the Hon. John II. Prentiss, Democrd
member Of the House, from New York. publish
tho following, during the last war, in paper
which he the editor:
alt is with sensations Of indiscrbable pleast
that l find myself enabled to announce the CO
plete triumph Of the Federalists." ''lf my hu
bic labors in the cause of my native country ha
produced the change in favor of federalism,
this county, then have arrived at the achmc
all my hopes the Summit Of all my ,rishes.'' 1T
frightful Hydra Of Democracy begins to droop
head before the Hearen derived spirit Of FEEDER

Federal party. Ruel Williams, of Maine; Ro
