FEDERAL DECEPTION.

| EDERAL DECEPIlON.
We have few words for those honest White
men who were misled and deceived by the profe,
slons Of the federalists and other corruptions,
during the last Presidential canvass The leader,
of those friendly to the election of Judge White for
the Presidency, declared that they supported the
principles and the policy of Gen. Jacksons admin
istration, and thus deceived many honest and well
meaning people. Will not those whom we address
perceive that they have been led into the very jaws
of federalism? These same leaders now abuse
Gen. Jackson and his administration, and make
principal charge against Mr.. Van Buren, that he
promised to follow in the footsteps of his prede
cessor" The following language was held by Mr.
Bell, in 1885,
"Opposition 10 the Administration of General
Jackson, is the course which the worst enemies
of Judge White desire his friends to adopt they
are so anxious upon this point that they appear
determined to put Judge White and his friends
in opposition, whether they will or not. But
gentlemen. the friends of Judge White will ad.
here to Gen. Jackson, and his Administrator
from consistency, and respect for their own
characters; and because they will be supporting
their own principles"
We quote the language of Mr. Bell, because III
fair specimen of that used by the coalition of fed
eralists and corruptionists, by which the people
were betrayed MIR. Bell has right to leave his de.
mocratc friends and go over to the opposition He
has done But he now says the Constitution
has been habitually and constantly trampled upon
by the Executive" andheaps all sorts of abuse upon
Gen. Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren. He imagines
that the people are fairly caught in the tronmels
offederdLism, and undisgusedly repudiates The
doctrines, under the cover Of which they were be-
trayed.
We have heard of several instances, and some
in this county, in which those who voted for Judge
White have consented to listen to the TRUTH re-
gardless OF federal clamor, and have honoraby and
spurned further connexion with those
who have palmed upon them most bare faced
Fraud This independent course shows that al
though they could be deceired by men cIaminga
high moral and political standing, they could not be
corrupted and now that the ubiquitous conduct of
Bell, Clay and others is laid open to view, they dis
card the base and deceitful influence.
We give, in conclusion, the following extract
from Speech of Mr.. TURNEY, the colleague of
Mr. Bell, which is much in point:-
