THE tMpuDENcE OF FEDERALISM.

The corner stones of Federalism are imposition, i'm
pudsnce and hypocricy. On these she has built all
Ier structures the government began; on these
she has relied for SUCCESS, and fought her battles a.
ganst truth and Democracy for the past 40 years. and
though defeated in nearly every pitched battle, her
forces routed her structures raised TO the ground and
washed away like so much sand, still sho persists in
this mode of warfare-sAl she gathers up her broken
forces, and rallies agan-s she hopes to triumph over
the people BY imposition, mpudence and hypocricy.

paper that had every opportunity of ascertainng the
trua vote by reference the books Of the Secretary of
State. But instead Of this il publishes compilation,
