The great issue now is, is the President.

were much puzzled to give new mama
10 fheif party-theY had at last christened
il the 8 DemocrQficaz Republican STATE
Riekts Partg. These changes and es-
peciallg lengtteniags Of party names,
were Evidences Of degeneracy and false
combinatiops. Whenever a member was
taken into the firm, the style Of the firm,
was heightened, while its real strength and
solid capital Of truth and principle were
diminished. The original true and or
thodox name of the party, in its purest
days, was simply Republican /; when the
renegade 6ederalists were taken IN, as they
had been recently, the party managers
tackled on Democratic, as il was notorious
that the most ultra and !oyer.zeaious de-.
mocrais, in profession, at least, were al
ways proselyted federalists; and now, TO
/ take is the nulhiiers, they had superadded
the name Of State Rights. During all
this time, their old and true friends, die
republicans, were falling of, in conse.
quence Of their heterogeneous combina-
tons or, in other words, as the tail Of the
party heightened, its body shoTtened-Tap.

more familiar to his brother farmers, his

the worst Of all tendencies, as they well
knew, in root crop. Mr.. Riyes said be
would assist the gentlemen il christening
their party, by reminding them Of Mr..
Jefferson classification Of parties which
was particularly applicable 70 the great IS
sue now before The country. Mr.. Jefer.,
son, when parties first rose / d the cOun.
Try, habiiuaily classified them into re-
pnblicans and onocrats the former
going for ne viii of he people, and the
latter forthai of the President. This was
the ground on which parties were uniap.
ply forming under the awful and alarm.
ing prog which the system Of party
discipline openly proclaimed and practis-
ed IS row making IN The country. He
