LEADERS-FALSEH OOD AND MlSREPRE. |
SENTATION OF THE BUZZARD.
The speech of Col. TOP at the Court House last
week, stirred up the federal leaders with longer pole
than they strrepup with before, and as might
be expected he in or goodly share the dog
grel slang of the Buzzard. With the more honest por'
ton of the Wings his speech YVES well received and
two or three TO our knowledge have admitted that his
arguments were clear and convincing that they intend
to cast their votes for him instead Of tho coffin hand bill
pedar Mordecai Barley.
But to the old corrupt Federast of the Buzzard, he
who is hardened by all kinds OF treachery, deception &
knavery Tods speech was gall and wormwood. This
is all reasonable enough. This old sinner has been so
ohg trying to hide his real federal principles, and
long practising his treachery and deception upon honest
but unihnking men, that he believes he has ussted
right to do so, and that no one should moest him or
expose his viainy Hence it is no wonder that when
a man comes among us-pulls the mask from the face
of this hyprocre and holds him and his real principles
up TO the indignation of the public it is wonder we
say that the guilty culprit should abuse him, misre'
present him, rdicule him, and heap all the ISLANDERS ups
on him for which his poisonous tongue is SO noted
What else could he dol He could no more answer the
facts and arguments of David Tod than he could fly,
but he says to himself ri must myself from The
deceptions and frauds practised upon this people
for the last 90 years-I must up the sins have
committed and the hypocrisy have taught, and the
lies have told and the immoral and vicious examples
have inculcated through the press faihl I'll receive
doom SO richly merit" ISLANDER, Misrepresentation
and lying is my element, and as the spirits of those
have wronged continually rise up before me and leave
me no peace in this world nor the hope ofany hereaf,
ter why I'll be devil incarnate, and follow my calling
out" Who doubts that these were the secret thoughts
of this Fedsgast going home from that meeting. If
any one does doubt it, let him read The article which ap.
peared in the Buzzard next day.
Passing over dozen lalsehoods and slanders which
appeared in the first part of that article we to the
misrepresentation by this federais ofa great fact relative
to the principles othe Federal party the organization
orthe Government and which is known to all acquain
ed with the history of parties. Col. Tod first gave an
outline of the principles oEhe ederasts of that day.
and merely repeated what history saysthat the eder.
aiss with Hamilton at their head, conended that the
people were not capable of governing themseves-that
the rich and well born as Hamilton called them only
no hand in making Laws, or receiving the benefit of
those Laws. From this he proved that up TO The last
war; tho Federaiss advocated these measures openly
since that time, finding the people were jealous Of them
they have continued to advocate behind the bush every
measure of Hamilton and Adams, from a National
Bank to British tariff, and have endeavored whenev"
er they got into power 10 abrdge the right of suffrage
opprcss the adopted citizens jus, ]. Adams did with
bis alien sediton laws. All these things he proved
clear day. and in such convincing language that
uo unpejudCed mind could doubt that the whig leaders
Of this day are but following in the footsteps of their ia
theirs the old Fsderalists.
We'll how are these arguments answered by the Buz.
zard. Why first by lo of blackguurd slang, and then
by bare assertion that any one who would believe that
Federal party existed, or that the Wing leaders are
their descendants, must be stark staring fool" And
this Loo in the face of the facts of History. As he mis-.
represented and falsely denied this part of Tods speech
so did he pervert and deny without shadow of fact
or argument, the other subjects Mr.. Tod spoke upon
But Of what use is il Tor us follow this beller sian.
