s.
Federal I1ppHdence.
We have been accused of endeavorino
suade the States Rights Party into the ~ Per-
Democratic Republicans. There is no truth IL u ne
accusation. We never thought the nerho, Qe
that party would be persuaded by any ,bia b" Of
vanced by either of the great contendino .n-t a.
the State. But we have taken the liher,,. SN
what we supposed would be their course on .!I SAY
al questions Of great importance; and orr on; Oi'
have been predicated upon the known nrnora f'lOas
the States Rights men. Events have. 50 f., f'S%
that we were right. ''"0"a
But the federalists seem to be extraroot.
that the States Rights men should d;.o.~1 U,A,O&
principles, and go with them for Claw nj 'ieR
tional Bank; that they should aid them in 1>a
ing our Senators out of office, and in auno;n,;
persons in their stead who will obey the n1.1
of northern federalism. ''e
The characteristic impotence of the fedo,,r
is manifested in the reasoning they use on tbia
caslon; which is, that the Democratic Rennbr
being formerly unfriendly to the measures nf'r
States Rights Men, the latter should show ,su |e
per resentment, and desecrate and discard tbo n~ w
clples for which they have been so long copteD5a'
merely out of revenge!
1t is asked, what right has the admiuie,,,..
party to expect the States Rights party to act WV:
them? And we will ask, what right bovo u
tederallsts to ask the States Rights PARTY to %,
with them ? The federalists desire that Sonot
BROWN may be instructed, so that he NAV be corn
pelled to resign. Is it forgotten, that while H.,
federallsts (the same men who now cloiro Il
States Rights Men as Whigs) were ready to ;o;s
ID the annlhllation of South Carolina, Mr.. BRorr
made speech against what is called the forc.
bill? Many of the federasts, such as Websto.
&c, mo1o the allies of the North Carolina "Vbir.
were in favor of coercive measures. which NJ.
Brown opposed. The Star of this citv ,bnn.
champion of the States Rights party, and before
had gone over to Clay and the Bank, apprecis,sl
the course of the Senator on that occasion, bv ,
highly complimentary notice Of his speech-and
now, forsooth, federal impudence requires NOTHING
more nor less, than that the States Rights Men
should at the sacrifice of principle, assist the party
IN instructing Mr.. Brown, in order to favor the
views of Webster, Clay and the federal party!
- The claims of Mr.. CLAY, too, on the States
Rights Party, are very amazing in magnitudes.-
At the last session of Congress, Mr. CLAY said, il
reply to Mr.. Calhoun, "that the compromise bill
had not been offered from any dread of consequen
ces, but as a generous interference to sare tn
nulli6ers from the halter! and that he had no
viewed the troops of South Carolina as any nor
to be dreaded, than thousand boys with drum
and colors~ And yet this same Mr. CLAY, dl
idol of North Carolina Whiggery, in his Speech c
the compromise LiIl, spoke of imminent dang
from civil war, &c.
What will the federal editors say to this-ol
friend of the Wilmington Advertiser among til
rest? "What trick, what device, what starting
hole, can they now find out, to hide them from thi
open and apparent shame 2"
