Such, sir, were the sages, the patriots and the
heroes, who now stand foremost in the ranks Of
the democratic vhig' party, and who assume to
be the exclusive democracy Of the country. Such
are the men who now claim to be AIadsonian DEM
Ocrats.
Can any man ask further evidence than that al
ready given to sustain the position have taken in
relation to the identity Of the old federal and DEM
ocralic wing party If SO, further evidence is at
hand. That evidence is the love of the federal par
y in this county for corporations, irresponsible to
the people, and legislation, partial in its bearing
upon the people. and calculated TO build up an ar
stocracy Of wealth to tyrunlze over the democracy
of labor
The advocates of federalism have awaysstriven
to keep POWER much as possible removed from
the people The power the press, the power fthe
pen, the power the tongue, the power oflearnng,
the power of thought. They have always stri,en TO
build up pcrmanencics and consultations irons and
customs, that should keep the many in awe of the
few. They have s,rven TO shicl,lc the minds of
the people with the give and letters of partial le
gisation They have always striven, to bewilder
them with the technicaiies, and mysterious and
underninnblc turnngs aud arilul Wistings of tho
Law. They have always sought to dazzle them
by the rappings and display Of wealth. They have
sought TO awe them by grandeur, lofty palaces, old
and venerable forms and tlmc-worn customs
The leaders ofthc old federal party, the men who
| had kept the vcsal fire of monarchy burning in
the country during the war of the Revolution, who
had siriven 10 overthrow an English monarchy
that they might establish an american monarchy,

be the only one under which a monarchy can ex-
| st. They wonld have clothed its executive Of
fccrs with the very power which monarchy always
invests its officers. They would invest them tho
reverence of an order, OF distinct permanent and
better class. They would have made birth and
wealth, requisite qualifications for participation
| in the control of the functions OF the Government
| They would have had President and Senate for
| life, who should command respect and veneration.
| by the distance they were removed from the nflu-
ence of the popular will, b, this halo which dstinc-
ton. wealth aud birth had cast abou, them. They
would have raised up among W artificial distinctions,
they would have raised up rich and ilnsrlous fam

funding the money ofthe revolution, the assumption
of the State debts, and lastly his attempt TO build
