PARTY NAAE5.-1t Is CRAFTY ing 10 Us that the In
egeneer and the Madisonian have raised the flag, and
that hereafter they too will the terms democrat and
and federalist in their proper sense. From this, and
hence forward we will designate the administration
the Federal party and their opponents the Democrat
ic party. Under this flag will conquer. We copy az
large the remarks of the Madisonan, and the article Of
the Intellgencer.
The DEMocRATIc REPUBLICAN PARTy.--We copy
the following article from the National Inelligencer, be
cause il precisely accorda with our views and be-
glad to see one of the leading and most in
uentia and respectable of the opposition journals of the
country, and which by its intelligence and long expert
knows the position and nature of parties, giving the
definition of the party character of that great ava
lanche of the pe0pe which gathered in Baltimore. Re
are democratic republicans by name and nature-and
that is the definition have given 10 our ticket from the
beginning We are incapable of being any thing else.
True democracy is humanity Loco foco federalism is
its opposite. Every man who loves his country and his
race Is dem 1cTac republican in the style and character
of the members of the young mems convention. And
for every man, forever hereafter ii will be glory enough
to say 81 was member Of the Democratic Republican
Young Mems Convention Of the 4tli of May, $780,.
The party in power is really, truly, practically the ede
raj party Federal in their associations with individuals
and in their component in the spirit and
tendency of their acts and Federal in their
hopes and labors- Federal in the concentration of DOW
er and in the use and abuse of Offices and emolmens-
Federal in their treatment of the State sovcreignties
Federal in every aspect, thought and deed. Names
| things. Let things be called by their right names.
THE BALTIMORE CeNvENTIoN.-One of these assem-
blages, meagre and sprtess il was is characterized
by the Globe (he Government paper Democratic, and
Mr. Grundy Is represented addressing the Convention
Gin explanation Of the principles and policy of the Demo
cratic party" In the paper the vast Of
patriotic young men, assembled in numbers and in sp
r before equalled, is attempted TO be sgmatized
fEgTnnd army of Federalism" Names cannot alter
principles, although they should be indicative of them
Our Government is Republic, or Representative Demo
cracy. Those who maintain the true principles of the
Government established by the Constitution are De-
mocraiic Republicans. The Wings and Conservatives
recently assembled Baltimore, are maintaining thos9
principles against the usupations and abuses and
rule of the Federal Executive They resist system of
measures and course of party discipline calculated To
concentrate all power in tie hands of the Executive, and
to convert our free institutions into practical despot-
ism. Theyare, therefore, in principle well rs in name
| Democratic Republicans broad enough and
comprehensive enough to include Wings and Conserva
tves, and all who go for the Constitution and the Lava
in opposition to the encroachments of Executive power
II the Federalism in its modern accepation is the
opposite of the principles of the Democratic Republicans
above stated, then it is peculiarly applicable the
present dominant party, ofwhich the Globe is the ofcis
| organ.
In speaking, therefore, of the two Conventions which
have Just closed their sngs AT Baltimore, cannot
better characterize them than 10 say that the Federal
Convention composed of the supporters of the antde
mocrac republican doctrines ofthe present Federal Nd
ministration, very thnly attended, and went of
with consciousness of defeat in the coming contest;
whilst the Democratic Republican Convention, composed
Of thousands and thousands of Wings and Conservatives
from every part of the Union, conducted with the
utmost enthusiasm and adjourned under the confident
assurance of glorious and triumphant victory in No
| yembeT next.
