The Majority have the Right to Rule

idea Of Republican Government at once. A
Republican Government cannot exist for single

will not occupy your time in discussing this self
evident proposition. Let us ut once 90 into an
examination of some of the leading acts ofthe old
federal, and the modern whig party, to see how
they square by this rule. One single act of the
old Federal party viii be sufcientfo, my purpose.
When the elder Adams was The President, the
"stamp act" the SALEM and the sedition" laws
were enacted-laws which were of the most an
ti-republIcan and despotic chartcter-laws CON
demned together with their author, the then
President, by the majority of the people, who de-
clared in 1900 for that great apostle of Democra-
cy, Thomas Jefferson. Az tha. memorable peri
cd, when majority Of the people had declared
against the elder Adams and his measures, and in
favor Of Jefferson, did you find the Federal party
submitting to the peoples decision, they seized
upon defect in the constitution, (Which has
since been amended) and stroyc from day to day
to defraud Mr.. Jefferson out of his election, and
to place in the presidential chair man who had
not received at the hands of the people single
vote for that ofiice.-Monstrous, revolving and
ddmnd6tea as this act may seem, still it came with
IN one vote of succeeding in the House of Rep
resentatlves OF Congress, and it was almost by a
miracle that the nation escaped from being cursed
with AARON BURR as its President, to the exclu-
sion OF the peoples choicc.-in this one act, fed
eralism revealed itself in all its defolmity. The
voice of the people, with the Federal leaders
were as nothing. Place and power, no matter by
what fraud obtained, was all that they desired

have just remarked that the fedoralists were
hurled from power in 1900, and that they did not
come up again until 1924, at which time they
came into power under John Quincy Adams, but
not of or by the peoples will. This was elfec-
ted by foul bargain between Adams and CLAY
A coalition unnatural--unholv, and in defiance

nation. The principal features of the case YOU
all recolect. Gen. Jackson, Mr. Adams, Mr.
Crawford and Mr.. Clay, were, in 1924, the op
posing candidates for the Presidency, and in con.
sequence Of there being four candidates, no one
received majority ofthe electoral votes, and. as
a consequence, the election devolved on the
House Representatives of Congress. Although
no one had received the majority Of electoral
votes, all who will take the trouble to examine
will find that Cen Jackson had a large pluralt,
Of those votes. Yes, Mr.. President, decided
majority of the people were then for Jackson in
preference TO any other one candidate. The
popular will was as nothing-thc toll and the
blood which the Patriot and the Hero, who was
