Gonneetieut federalism. and 7bolition Synonymous
The rejection by our last Federal Legislature at The
able and constitutional report and resolutions of De-
rnocatic Committee, against the NEEDING spirit OF
Abotionsn has placed in bold coors before the people
the affinity Of that faction with Federalism. II has
shown them TO be one IN spr u not IN essence-bnlh
having in view the subrerson OF Stale Rights Republic
caDsm and The establishment OF consolidated power in
the General Government, They Ind not intended,
however that their relative position and harmony should
have been 50 exposed they had mol completed all
the details of future operation, although The right hand
Of fellowship had been given and accepted. But the
feeble cunning Of Speaker Boardman, unmarked their
position. where he had nendeda different result which
placed his Abolition allies ct the mercy OF the Demo.
Gratis from which nothing but the entire strength of the
Federal party could exircate them. They few the
rescue rejected the report and the resoutinns and
posed their alliance. Every Van Buren, Democrat voted
10 accept ,hem-alnost every Federal Opposition man
voted for the rejection. The result of that vote has
thrown the Federal Editors at the South into
fusion; they know not how to explain il 10 their read
crs having often denied that the Federal Opposition
party at the North acted with the Abolihonisis Many
are silent-o,hers peIyert the facts Among the
prominent Of this class is the Editor Of the Macon (Gro
Messenger. notwithstanding he is Northern rnen
and Of course knows the falsy of his sietemen,s he
unbushingy tells his readers that the Report and Reso
lu,ions emanated from an anti Van Buren, Committee,
and adopted by the last Federal Legislature when
the truth is entirely the TeoerSe OF what he statee

the Federalsts having the majority. Since rising
Of the Legislature, the Report has been published with
approval by every Democratic paper in the State
while, we believe no, Federal paper in Cunnec,icu,
has even spoken Of it. Consequently The Editor
Messenger derived his knowledge Of the whole affair
from The Democratic papers and can Offer M excuse for
his wful pervers,on Of the Truth Mr.. Rose should
have learned this that hones,y is the best policy

read with great interest II is full Of the Democratic
spirit which now pcrvades Alabama, and is earnest
OF the glorious triumph of the cause. The following
news, also, which we find in The Mobile Register, is
another strong sign Of The noble ardor which inspires
the Republicans. The of Mr.. Lyon does him

has publicly declined the canvass for Congress- at The
ensuing election.
We also understand that there is letter in town 10

Since the above written it is ascerained that the
letter from Mr. Lyon contains unequvocal withdraw.

This is il should be. There is Democratic equality
in this state of affairs which jumps with notions Of
