bear the name of federalst. Who are the
federal party2 How shall we know them?
Answer--by their fruits--compare the
conduct Of the Wings with that of the
old Federalists; see how they agree, and
then say Kit is useless to talk of the intel
ligence of the people, for the history of
nations cannot present an example of such
total want of intelligence as our country
non affords"

Again: "The time for reasoning has

This is the language of self dubbed

This is bold--independent in Hammond
land would be the language of many in
this part, II they had the independence he
has. Many would soon own federalism if
il was sufficiently exalted-not BY the
people, but BY the banks, to render il safe
to Do 50. The point we wish to get at, is
shown by Mr. Hammond, that is, that the
distinctions in parties are the same that
they ever were, differing only in name
And again: SAT the late Wing Conven-
ton, Utica, New York, resolution was
offered, declaring THAT the assertion made
by the Democrats, that the Wing party
was made up of Fcdcralists, was false
"Mr. Tracy, of Utica, distinguished
Wing, maintained "that ii was cowardIy
to shrink from such charge; that the
Wing party was composed of Federalists,
and he gloried in the name.n The ques-
ton being taken, the resolution was VOTED
DOWN! And yet the federal party here
call themselves Republicans! when their
own Councils and Conventions affirm the
party 'to be made up of Federalists'."
We have, in hurried manner, examin-
ed some Of the Federal, alias Tory doc
