themselves styled FederdisiS by those against whom
they have contended ever since the era Of "Alien
and sedition Laws" To be thus denounced by such
men as Ingersoll, Buchanan, Van Buren,, Wall and
Woodbury., is gross insult TO the intelligence Of
the people, and an outr lge against common honesty.
II was well remarked by Jefferson, that when the
Fedcralists discovered their inability to ensuve the
people openly, they would resort 10 trick md dc.
cepion, and even go so far as to steal the title of
their opponents. The justice Ct this accusation is
manifest from the present tone of the Van Buren,
press and leaders. The Madisunian of n late date
contains an admirable article on this subject The
facts which il furnishes ore important, and shall
embody them in this article for the information Of
"ur readers, and as conclusive evidence of our as
SUMPTION that the Loco Foco Van Buren, Party is The
FEDERAL Party Of 1870.
Whatever, the Madsonisn well remarks may
have been the character Of the Old federal party,
it is that of the modern federal party, in pow
er, which requires our present attention. The
Ethiopian cannot change his skn-nor the leopard
his spots.--nor the tederdis! his characteristics
As we remembe. the worst characteristics Of the
old federal party, see in the party led by Mr..
now left, and indeed the prominent disciples of that
school. As they were opposed to the last war, so
they hated and abused those who fought its battles
and carried 1t through. The natural dislike Of the
anti-war federasts to the American officers and
soldiers who achieved our victories by sea and land
is warmly cherished still in their bosoms, and they
evince it by pouring all the wrath once levelled
against Mr.. Madison, now against the only General
TO whom British army surrendered during that 1ar!
Parties are known by their eaders-let US see
whether the leaders Of the party who have stolen
into power in the disguise Of democrats, as Mr..
Jefferson predicted they might are not some of the
worst Of the old federal party without reference TO
their present conduct, which alone would be suffi-
cent to prove their identity. Who are they?
