he quill. across the way, who stands in
lhe line Of e'stailed taderntism, has a col
umn Of zigzag. editorial comment on our
articls which showed that the Federal party
had. from the formation Of the government
DOWN 10 The present moment, taken the size
u the enemy against their country. The
editor huiiers a little, but insinuates that
i does no. mean him or his party because
he Gays s'there is not, and there has not
been any ouch party as the Federal party
in existence since The last war" But he
says "a simple change Of nnmcs amounts to
nothing in the discussion of principles"
Let ~ zee whether we did hi, the Hawk
eye editor and his party.
As purity the Federalists elected John
Adams. The same party opposed the cleo
tiSn and administration of Mr.. Jefferson.
The same Federal party opposed and de-
noimced the last war, and opposed the adj
ministratioh Of Mr. Madison. Being so
ehagrined and disappointed because the
Democratic party were victorious in the
war, they said but little during the admin
istEation Of Mr. Monroe. As party, and
upder the name Of Fsdralists, they rallied
around the administration Of J. @. Adams.
During the campaign for Jackson they slid
into the name Of Administration party. AT
the suggestion Of Jacob B. Moore, Of Con-
cord N. H. then editor Of the n. H., Jour-
nal, this parity adopted the name Of eva
fioaal Republicans, /" and under this ne,O name
this I'D party opposed the administration Of
Jsckson. This Jacob B. Moore was the
author Il the celebrated scorrtx HAND
ssLLs," andhe was "oid Tips" first clerk
in The post Office department. This same
Old FEDERAL party wore their nev name, as
ths Jsckass did the lions skin, with their
evs sI,oys ost, and frequently baying;
till 1884. In that year Daniel Webster
made speech in Fanuiel Hall in Boston,
IL which he denounced the administration,
and laws Of the government. He said the
people had right to resist the laws and
declare revolution if they were not re-
pealsd. The original meaning Of Wig"
be hid, was to go for revolution and then
b. proposed that this old Federal party drop
the National Republican name and call
themselves /" Wigs Of "a" on the original
meaning Of the word; and the ,chole party
did do It. In 1910 this same Belteshax-
Ear declared in the name Of his party that
''they stood where they always stood and
always meant to stand"
