The tide of democracy Is still rolling on, and who
shall stay its progress l-our own State having left
but little wished for ON this Understanding at this
election cnched the nail we drove into the coffin Of
whigery last fall and stands armed esp-a-pie for any

Daniel Webster, esq, once asked, in Faneuil
Hall, "where am to 20 !, A few days since, he
exclaimed in the same hail. TO another federal as
semblage, ssthere can be no mistake a. 10 where we
are;" bot q 10 the party which he represents they
have really come very near finding themselves mo-
svkere And why should that party exist A par
ty void of patriotism, with no love Of country or Of
the institutions under which they live, and which
does not possess the elements of sccess or even Of
vitality. 81 aI8 T98
Look for one moment Al the leaders of the fed
eral party and to their acknow Iedged organs. OF
the latter, the "Nationa Intceencern stands at the
head and when, since Il fell into the embrace Of
whigery has il stood up in defence of our country
against foreign Aggression When the hero and pa-
triot Jackson demanded of France the immediate
payment of the indemnity 30 long DUE the Intelli-
eencer, true 70 It's foreign and federal insncts ar

Intelligencer was against (and 80 remains) its own
government, and sided with Mexico, France or
Engand-ust which il could make itself most use
full to, and inhict the greatest injury upon its own
country. On the Oregon question il finds argu
ments .sas thick as blackberries' why England has
the best claims to that territory but none-no not
ore-in favor of the United States; and vet this
is the accredited, the acknowledged organ of the
federal wing party! Why expect or look for pa
triotism in such a party Then lust look at
the present ssembodiment Of whieery.n alias fed
eralism. Daniel Webster ia the Jupiter To-
