Resoiued That our attention is directed anew TO the

fame of country, for the principles OF morals, and or
requires all constitutional efforts for the destruction of The
unjust ohe slave power and for the abolition OF
slavery within the limits OF the United States.
Resoiped That the annexation of territory with Mexican
population upon it, is highly inconsistent with the wel-be-

We might 90 on ad infnitum in this array OF proof,
showing the reasonable and aocous sentiments OF the
federal party of the present day, extracted IRON the
speeches and newspapers OF the orators and presses OF
that party but it is unnecessary and would occupy
space than we can devote this prolific subject
And now, we confidently ask, any candid man rise
from the perusal OF the extracts which have given
above from the presses preachers and orators OF federal
ism in lsl2l and the presses, preachers, and orators
of the federalism OF s467, and not be convinced OF the
complete and perfect identity OF the latter with the for-
merth that modern whigery OF to-day IS not the leglti-
offspring of the tory federalism OF our last war
that the in spirit sentiment, and treachery
their own country and friendship for the country with
which we are at war?
Mark the points of resemblance. The federaiss of the
last war accused Mr. Madison, when President OF the
United States, with bringing on the war; and OF being
guilty of the blood of his butchered countrymen.'
They denounced him as a ''cringing coward" They
denounced the government over which Mr. Madison pre-
sided as corrupt and imbecile" They charged MIR.
Madison with "prostrating national character"
They denounced the as being ''impotc,
~, and UNJUST" as ''unjust, foolish, and runous'
and as ''wantonly provoked the most groundless
and frivolous preences." They endeavored to prevent
capitalists from loaning money 10 the government by
threats OF infamy and disgrace the consequence OF thus
aiding their government They attempted prevent the
how ote1 in Con
gress against all bills for supplying brave and suffer-
ing soldiers with clothing and subsistence They threat
ened dissolution of the Union, and took preliminary
steps TO accomplish their object And finally, they de-
nounced the war as got up for the benefit of slavery.
And what did the "Natonal Inteligencer" Git had not
then aposatsed from democracy say and do in view of
such conduct of which the federalists of 1912 were
guilty. 1t denounced it as detesabe" and infamous"
and branded them as MORAL TRAITORS"
Here is the sentence OF condemnation;
"'AIp AND COMFORT EsEMY.'-There are other
ways aiding enemy than by deserving his standard
Those him quite effecuay who seize every oppor
tunity dshearten the patriotic army of country, and
thus encourage the enemy. pPhen rfth this rec land it
can be Nth othe) facts discooyed and perverted to
The injury of the cotatrys those nho cfuy
ccr,,ed IN such guilty of MORAL
TREASON least, though their offence is perhaps not
cogasabe By lar. And really when the INFAMOUS
personages, caanot b poeny suspect they rant bm The
poer 10 serve enemy any tay that oouid Pit their
iees IN jeopardy National IeRigehcer, Oct II, 1872.
Now have not the fedealss of 1916 and ls47-falsey
calling themselves whigsbeen guilty of precisely SINH
lar conduct since the Mexican war was commenced
Have they not charged the President with bringing the
war? Have they not charged him with falsehood
Have they not denounced the administration lmbecie
and corrupt and accused it of medating all sorts OF
crimes from conspiring with Santa Anna and devisng
the capture and destruction OF General Taylor and his
armies-thus, in substance charging them with intent
TO commit wholesale treason and murder-to acts of
mean and pitifu fasehood Have they not denounced
the war as unconstitutional" "aggressiUe" "God-de-
fynq ns'plttd ",veted "cr1,el," and "a,cf7' Have
they not invited the Mexicans NEVER MAKE PEACE,
but TO "greet" our brave soldiers with BLOODY
HANDS" and "fIOSPiTABLE GRAvES% Have they
not attempted TO prevent enstments Have they not de-
preciaed the credit of the government in order 10 pre-
vent it from obtaining oans-thus crpping lis ability to
carry on the war; Have they not threatened to withhold
sunnies2 Have not some of the federal members of
Congress actually voted against supplies And lastly,
have they not charged the President with wagng the
war for the extension Of slavery
Is not such conduct in substance and spirit the same
of which the ederalsts of 1912 guilty. No intelli
cent man can deny it. 1t is, in particulars, even
more aocous, and more truly deserves to be character
lied as "MoRAL TREASON"
We trust every patriotic citizen will preserve this arti
