ME oLn FEDERAL sPIRIT.

Since the name Of federalis has be-
come so very unpopular with the great
mass Of the people, il IS well known with
what abhorrence the present Whlg party
evince when they are reminded OF their
former title. They would shake it olfas
they would the touch Of a poisonous Vie
per. But at times, their natural instincts
bstray their discretion and tho old leav-4
en- works up in manner not to be mista'
ken.
For oxample--the Richmond Wing Of
October 23d, an acknowledged organ OF
Henry Clay, is out in defeuce Of Alex
aDder Hamilton, against the charge Of
Jefferson thai Hamilton was inclined 10
establish monarchy in this country!--
Afier stating this, il is hardly necessary
to add that the nrticle also contains filings
and inuendoes at the memery Of Jetier>
s7n. We confess that at this dayw were
surprised to see even in whig paper. a
lahored paliition of Hamilton's English
principles. In the northern states, i IS
not denied that Hamilton was decidedly
in favor Of the United States Senator'S
holding for life. And this mOnOrchcial
doctrine was only in consonsnce with the
high toned notions Of Governm mt, which
he openly held. The concentration Of his
system seemed to be, that the People
were made for the government, while
with far reaching sagucity and pariotism
Jefferson assumed the fundamental prin-
ciple Of Americas democracy that Gov
srnment was made only for the people -
The federalists gloried in Alexander
Hamilton as their great champion,
while Jefferson gradually drew aronnd
him tho hearts of the American people
by the freedom and moral beauty Of his
principles, under the unpfetsnding name
of democrats. And to this day, sdmirs.
tion Of Hamilton or Of Jefferson draws
the line between true Federalists and tho
true Democrats of this country.
This defence Of HamiltoB's ultra no
tions, ,Rin the Richmond Whig, is the
more worthy ofnoiice, because the edi
Tor continually effects not to agree with
HamillOn's political opinions, but undel
the circumstances. this disclaimer only

| We would point The Democracy Of N,
York TO illese Indications, as uneFrinl
tests of the secret bias Of The whig lead

these lessons at this time are The more
appropriate, as the old opponents Of JEFF
ferson are making the most serious eff
forts to assume the name Of Democratic

Nearly all the State has been heard
from. There are seven democratic State
Senators elected, and only ONE whig -
The Senators hold their Office -four years,
and eight are elected each year. In the
lower house there will be a veTy large
democratic majority. There e about
twenty thousand democratic maiority oI

BOSTON PLOT-THE TABLES
TURNED.

The federal newspapers in Massachu-
sets and elsewhere have resently been
filed with infamous charges of bribery
brought against Gov, Morton aud man
bers Of the council, founded upon pre-.
tended letters from Charles G Bell; but
from letter just brought5 TO light, ad-
dressed by Bell 10 his neighbor and
friend, Deacon Stanton, man of unims
peachable character, II appears tha. the
Wings Of Massachusetts have got up this
seandalOus ohArge against others merely
10 conceal their own guilt. Upon seeing
these statements in the Whig prints, Mr..
stanton Tecollecied that he had received
this letter from Bell, fully explaining the
matter, and written ata time when he
was most likely 70 tell the truth in re-
gard to II. The letter referred to il cnp.
