WHIGERY IN FAVOR OF REFORM.
Old federalism, no matter what protean
form it takes, or alias it assumes, always
acts on the principle of subjugating the
people. The inherent instinct of all those
who, upon the selfish idea of superiority
to the masses, arrogate the right of appro-
priating their labor by legislative contri-
vance, is fear and hatred of those whose
rights they would invade. Nothing but
combination, and concerted system of
action on the part of the class plotting
schemes of usurpation, can enable them

it stigmatized as "aIiens.'' The alien law
was passed to abridge their rights--to ex-
clude or expel them from the country,
because they swelIed the suffrages which
maintained the popular rights guaranteed
in the constitution. These first attempts
against emigrant citizens we're foiled blythe
fathers of the government, whose iumin-
GUS expositions of the liberal principles
and vast interests which the institutions
they established were calculated to pro-
mote, vanqushed the narrow prejudices
which federalism endeavored to instil
against the foreign population they inyi-
ted. The alien law and its authors were
put down; and the signal rebuke of this
