Have we not convicted the Traitors of

Session, and did they so &C.? Look at the
Senate voteA- ST. ClairsUlle Gaz.
The following comes from as active whg
10 1910, as was IN The State, though he says
he never fully approved of their exhibitions:
THE SPIRIT OF FEDERALISM AND
THE SPIRIT OF MONARCHY THE
1 q SAME. f@t2 "e 49, Is
II must be evidentt TO every observing and
candid mind, that the spirit of federalism and
the spirit of dsspotism and monarchy, are et-
sentiaIly the same. The contempt, and ab.
horence, 10 which the people--lhe great mass
have ever been looked upon by the high
toned iederalists, and by the insolent monar-
chists, must be Asplain to our country men,
now, as it was in all past struggles between
liberty and tyranny. 10 monarchical coun-
tries, the people have not been reasoned out
Of their liberties, for that would seem 10 be i'm
possible; but they have been cheated and de-
ceived, and oppressed by The powers ofmoney
and the bayonets of'mercenary soldiers. They
have been kept IN state Of excitement about
their kings and their princes, and have been
bersh Of their natural good sense by the gew-
gaws and lrappings ofroyalty, and seduced in
70 slavish submission to mere creatures like
themselves, by false and glowing representa-
tions of their dignity, their superior virtues,
and their exclusive rghts TO govern, and 10 ex
ercise power. And afenol these the charac-
terstics Of federasm, and Of their attempts
upon The liberties Of the freemen ofthis coun-
tryl To our mind, The objects of federalists
and monarchis,s are the same land the ends
at which they aim are the same. Both desire
that The many shall be kept in state Of vas-
salage, and dependent upon the few-both
seek to establish this state Of vassalage and de
pendencc by artificial distinctions, Of wealth
as we'll as Of the powers ofmind, and by ex-
elements, shows and representations which
delude the understanding, If they do not cor
rupt the heart-and the aim OF both is 10 be-
come rulers, and to set themselves up the ex-
elusive Judges and governors of the people.
WhaIhonest and sound republican bu. Iurns
with disgust and contempt from The shameful
practices Of the federalists 10 deceive and cor.
rupt their folowersl What reasonable man
that does not blush al the remembrance oflhe
scenes of 1SA0l What moral man that does
not dread thu renewal Of those impious and
profane debaucheries? Yet such were. and
such are again 10 be the arguments Of the fed
eralists, with free and intelligent people!
They have already Recommended their for
mer degrading arllices, and their former mis-
representations and mpositious, as though
such were the only means by which the un>
derstandngs otthe peoT lie were 10 be convin-
ced, or their support TO be secured. How in
sung are these proceedings 10 men ofcom-
mon sense and principle, humiliating 10
us, as a nation Of freemehl 1t has been by
such deceplions that the monarch,sts of Eu-
rope have kept certain families upon their
Z thrones, and established their aristocracies,
but il remains 10 be seen whether the republ-
cans Of America can be hched IN the traces,
. and seduced into the yessalage Of such men
as Tom Corwin, Tom Ewing, and Alfred
Kelley, through such silly and unmaniy devi>
ces as those 10 which we refer. When there
was an old soldier in the field, such folly might
be extenuated, perhaps, IN some degree; but
now, when there are none 10 the field but bank
rupt Spectators and bankrupt politicians, trai.
tors 10 the commonwealth, and plotlers ofrev-
oulion, how can the federal demsg ognes hope
to create and sustain an excitement among the
people which will resultjin their favor? Flow
dare they TO expect, after the sad experience
ofl6A0, that msn wll'again listen TO their
yells and their song singing with composure,
or look upon their Gags and unmeaning device
es with complacencyl How dare they 10 re-
new their broken promises 10 people they
have 50 basely deceived, and who are now
reaping The bitter fruits Of their Credulity and
misplaced confidence But dare they will
Desperaie in fortune, and despefalen princi-
| pie and despsing. as oil federalists and mon
archsts do, The judgment, and reason, and
patriotism ofthe people, they will again dare
10 play the same foul and daStardy game 'be-
fore high Heaven, indeed, as we have said,
has already commenced; but il must as sure
| ly fail, aslbey have heretofore failed in their
duties and promises! 1Ss
