THE ULTRA FEDERALISTS-W HERE ARE
'EIIEN

Whatever may have been the character Of
the old federal party, IT IS that OF the moderR
federal party now IN power, which requires our
present attention. The Ethiopian cannot change
his skin-nor the leopard his spots-nor the
tederdiiSt his characteristics. AS we remember
the worst characteristics Of the old federal parry,
SO we see in the party led by Mr., Van Buren,,
every feature of that ancient heresy 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 It's battles
and carried ii through. The natural dislike OF
the anti-war federalists to the American officers
and soldiers who achieved our victories by sea
and land, is warmly cherished still in their bo-
SONS and they evince il by pouring all the
wrath once leveled against Mr.. Madison, now
against the only General to whom British army
surrendered during that war. 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, a 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 suiilcentto prove
their identity. Who are they
