That victory begun in corruption--nurtured anC
sustained in an excitement that alarmed the pa

as, when the coming Of that time will happen.
He leaves that. suppose, to the imagination OF
his readers. If, however. "the time" for anoth-

TO learn that the Wings of rs and 40 are the
same persons. or that they hold the same prin-
ciples. /, in my simplicity, had thought, that
the heroes of '76. who so gloiously achieved
our independence. had. with few exceptions,
gone to meet in another world the reward OF the
patriotic and virtuous. But however that may
be. in this Il certainly am not mistaken. 1.-THE

But let me remind the Federaists of Al. who
impudenly call themselves Wings, that "aH Of
q name IS not The same" In this glorious Eame
was achieved the revolution Of re, and by the
deeds of our Fathers. it has been made rs i'm
mortal as their memories. 1t is now the pro-
perty of the union, and the whole union-it be-
longs to no party or set of men. and least of all,
to those through whose viens still! creeps the
blood of the tories hope there are few such
descendants as these in any party. lfIhere
should be any among the Wings. let me remind
them, that We are told in Holy Writ. " The sins
of the fathers shall be visited upon the children
unio the third and fourth generation" To call
themselves Wings. cannot now purify their blood,
or in any manner protect them.
The Federaists of The present day stand in
need of good name. and therefore they may in
some part, be excused for pifering shat which
has been made honorable by the best blood of the
Revolution. But let me advise them, ne Yer a.
gain to call themselves Wings. and especially
mere, again TO that glorious epilhet for par
ty purposes II looks badly to see the name in
which our liberties were achieved. and which
should be held sacred in the memories of all |
