Headers Of the Oppostlon traitorous
coalition Of Nocther FederaIistS and Brit
lsh baukcrs, Of crazy Abolilionists and
Iproillgate poiticians--their shameless hy-
lpocrisy, their vile and wicked corrup-
ltions, have broltght the affairs Of this pow
erful Republic to u crisis eminent!y me-

:! Regardless of the execraton which pos
Itetity will fling upon their memory, these
fircbrands of Federalism and stlpcndia-
r!es Of Britain take tiendish pleasure in
the infamy OF their vocation. Their chief
delight consists in maligning the Govern
ment of their country, in traduclng her
|enlightened institutions, and, oh, shame !
i'll vi,lifying, for the brutal qualification of
foreign foes, certain class Of their fellow
ctizens, among the finest specimens OF
the human race! Need eter TO the no.
|be-hcarted Virginian and the liberal Car
toinian pEs&tcr, men whose lofty patriot
ism, dasifing chivalry, graceful genius,
generous hospitality, manly simplicity,
aud noble nature, would dignity andadorn
any community in the world !. Yes, my
countrymen, these Federal Abolition mis-
creaats especially exnlt i'll eliminating
that section Of the Uniou winch is the ia
vofitc homestead Of the patriotic Bishop
England, and the only portion of the
Conf.dcracy where an lrshmen is sure,
among the native population, 10 find a
friend. Nor does their Satanic rancor
rest here. Noprinciple, however pure
no person, however sacred If opposed to
their ncendiary designs and revolution
airy projects, can escape the malignant de-
nunciatons and vulgar scurrity of this
atrocious party. The more exalted and
virtuous the individual, the more enven-
oned their rancor. By them, the Prcsi-
dent and his cabinet are never honorably
assailed, nor the measures Of his admins
traion fairly canvassed. Neither the de-
ductions of reason, nor the eloquence OF
truth, are ever brought to bear upon the
principles of the one, or the policy of the
other. No, no; such system Of warfare
belongs not to Federal tactics. Honor and
virtue is not their habit and whether de-
feated at the polls or foiled in argument,
their only resource is abuse, brutality and
Ifalsehood. And is not such career of
linfamy perfectly in keeping with the char
acteristics of Federalism!
! Federalism, my countrymen, is the idol
[of despots and the demon of discord. 1t
has been conceived in treason, born in
corruption, and baptized in the, blood of
the generous and the brave-it is the bit
ter and unrelenting enemy of popular
rights and popular liberty--of equal laws
and liberal governmcnt-it audaciously
proclainls eternal hostility against the
most revered and cherished principles Of
the social system-it triumphs in the dis
trcss and fattcns on the calamities of the
country--it is an eX'lalation from the re-
gions of darkness, which, like the sirucco
OF the desart, dries up the blood, with
ers tie heart, AMI PARALLELS the energies
Of the philanthropist, the patriot, and the
hero Hence Federalism is the genius
ofdespoism it is that accused principle
which guides and actuates the grinding
Governments Of the Old world it is the
bond of amity between British foes and
domestic traitors-thc Shlboleth of ma.
tive Americanisn''-the curse of the land
Of your birth. and the raWhead and bloody
bones Of the land of your adoption; in a
word, Federalism, IS that blood dripping
monster, Irish Orangeisns, in all its ma
hcd denominations md diabolicaldef orm-
tiles.
Let us, my countrymen, turn from this
disgusting picture of the battered harrdan
Of Federalism, to contemplate the youth
full graces, the winning modesty and vir-
GIN purity of blooming, benevolent, high
snuled Democracy. Beautiful being! it
gladIe:is the heart of an Irishman to look
on you, for you are indeed the pride Of
the free and the paragon OF virtue. De-
mncracy, thoughhumble,is proud, though
unobtrusive and meek, is yet indcpend-
ent and dignifed. Democracy never,
like Federalism, measures mau'S respec.
liability by the length of his purse, and the
impudence of his prctenson but by the
nobility of his personal character, and
the purity OF his personal virtues. Up
start impertinece and aristocra,ic hauteur
may well become the worthless offspring
OF some privileged swindler and furnished
Federal tory, but with honest. high min
drd Democracy, there is no other distinc-
ton between man and man, but integrity
and talent. Her chief design and earnest
desire is, not like that of Federalism to
break the spirit and crush the energies Of
man, but to reduce the sum Of human
misery and vice, and to augment that Of
human happiness and virtue. Democra-
Icy is to the industrious poor man, the
handmade of happiness, as she is to the
Ywhofe human family at once the soul
