be reduced to a skeleton Of leaders.

In late number of this paper we pointed out the
similarity between the Federalism of 81 and the
Coonery of the present day : expounded by Alex.
Hamilton and the National .EgiS. Massachusetts,
Clay paper. We find more Of the same doctrine in
the speech of Caleb B. Smith. of Indiana. delivered in
the House Of Representatives at the hs session Of
Congress. which beg to present readers, in
an understandable form.
Halai.0a.-" The voice of the people mas been said
be the voice Of God; and however generally this
maxim has been quoted and believed it Is not true in
fact"
S,nith.-.' The maxim vox popu vox DEL is one
to which cannot subscribe. do believe the voice
of the people Is the voice of God
Hami!cn.-' The people are turbulent and chang
ing.'
Smith.-" The aggregate of the community, like
individuals. may form erroneous opinion; they may
be Swayed BY sudden and exciting impulses.
HrniioR.-.' Take mankind IN general. they are
vicous-.hoir passions may be operated upon"
Smib.-"Thcy may be influenced BIZ their passions "
The language of Smith IL but tic echo of Hamilton
All this argues want of confidence in the mass of
the peoplc-;hc vulgar herd the ..cornon PEOPLE '
Caleb b. Smith thinks the voice Of the people is not
the voice of God. Neither do we. But if they are
not to rule who shall Who has better ri ght
If they do not know what Is best for Themselves who
Judge better than they what Is for their own
good
Ii Is amusing to observe the caution of our arstoc-
racy In their efforts gain the a>cendancv over the
people The age l. entirely too enlightened for them
and conpels them TO approach the subject ambiguous

Tie only hope of Whiggery is in the coaccalmen
