mumchausen Federalism!

Who has not read Inc WOuueIlui hdiieu'N'
Baron Munchausen? Who has not laughed o.
yer the travels of Lemuel CULVER? The au-
thors of those books in their day were never ex-
celled in graphic marvellousness. But the lead
ers of the Federal coon party OF the unHeo
States. can certainly Guido them in manutactu-
ring wonderful tales. During the present can
yass. the coons have manufactured and circula-
lied some of the most abominable falsehoods we
ever read or heard of, for the purpose OF inJur'ng
the popularity of the Democratic candidates tor
President and Vice President.
The first of these was the disunion humbug;
but the silly creatures, learning that this was not
doing them any good, it was abandoned, and the
poor coons thought it advisable to resort to some
thing else. The next thing was The charge OF
toryism against the ancestors OF Col FOLK
but this humbug also soon eyaporated into thin
air, and only covered the projectors OF 1t with
%ignominy, shame and disgrace. Then the coons
manufactured a wonderful story in relation to
the British subscribing and furnishing money tor
the American Democracy, to secure the cleo
tion of Polk and Dallas. Any man OF common
: sense knows full we'll that there is not, nor ever
has been, any assimilation in any manner what
ever, betwcen tho Democracy of the United
States and Victoriu's royal subjects. In their
2 principles and interests, they are dramatically
onnosed to each other. But, on the other hand,
ID # is we'll known that the Federal coon party OF
- this country, are the natural and legitimate
lac descendants and offspring OF the old Federal TO-
i'll RIGS of the Revolution, All their feelings aho
$ red;lections are with the British Government
III and if the British holders of American bond;
Of look 10 any party in this country for @iayors, TIA
u party is the supporters of Henry Clay. Tins
in charge of the Federal party, that funds have
ID, been raised in Great Britain, TO aid the election
st. of James X. Polk, is nothing but the cry o
g stop theft to cover over their own corruption
and bribery. England is opposed TO the al
nexation Of Texas to the United States, and s
are the whig party in this country. England
DESTROYS that our National Government shout
assume the payment of the State Debts, and S
arc the wing party. England is opposed to tn
United States establishing Their legal and u
doubted title to the territory of Oregon, and S
are the wing party. And, in fact, upon nearI
every question, there seems to be u unity OF Ice
inc between the English and wing party OF tn
country. 1t is therefore perfectly obvious thi
if British Gold has come to this country at al
are it has unquestion1bly gone into the hands OF ii
ON Clay party. Daniel Webster and james Wa
will son Webb did not 60 to England tor noth'n
lei. The last charge of Munchausen Federalism,
div that james K. Polk branded 43 of his negro
9Th, with the initials ofhis name, q. K. ~ But u
;on- fortunately for the Federal party, tins turned 0
ma to be a base and infamous forgery, and the We
ven persons who originated il, were compelled to {
- in knowledge that it was a forgery.
lpu- A party must be desperate indeed, when 1t
poll sorts to such miserable and contemplate frau'
the h%umbugs and lorgeries, to ensure success Z
the the honest and moral men in the wing ran
heir sanction such modes of warfare? We can ha
and ly believe > it possible. But IA few weeks will
