Ypsilanti sentinel. [volume] (Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co., Mich.) 1843-1900, 1847-06-16

thou so,' said the traveller, sbecause," answer
ed the heater, his neighbor who formerly united
his farm with this man, hath now preferred to
unite it with mine and labor with me; which
not beng proper cause of enmity yet he hath
attacked me-" "Why dost thou so," said the
traveller seeing the oppressor still continued
his beating, sbecsuse," said he, "this man ow1
eth me debts which he hath oftimes promised
to pay, he hath beaten my servants, and insult
ed my name."
The traveller now began to doubt the justice
of the oppressor's cause, wherefore seeing him
beating his enemy still harder, he exclaimed
again, "why dost thou so,' ssbecause," said he
"this man prefereth to follow the instructions
and friendship of another than myself, who is
farther of, and wish to teach him that his hap
pness cometh not from thence.'
"Thou hast not justice said the stranger,
thrice hast thou given different cause for thy
conduct; which teacheth me that thy only cause
is the love of violence and plumber" Thus say
ing he seized the oppressor from his victim, and
discovered him to be his own son, who had,
while he was thus carefully inguiring into the
cause of the quarrel, inflicted an injury on his
neghbor, for which the father was fain to sac
rifce great part of his wealth.
Need we add the 'oppressor' is the President,
the traveller the People, the stranger beaten,
Mexico. For the answer we refer to the Pres
idents Message and Gen. SCOTS Proclamation.
The conclusion of the fable is intended to apply
to the end ofthe war whenever that shall occur.
ORIGIN AND MEANINa THE TERMS FEDERAL
Isr, AND DEMocRAT.-The following extract of
letter of MIR. Jefferson, to Mr. Adams, in explana-
ton of the differences between those great men,
which in time became the distinguishing difference
the two great parties of the nation and which,
with little understanding, and less honesty, have
been the cause Of much rancor and political hatred.
Inasmuch these terms still in vogue, the
tract we have quoted, will furnish an exceen. rule
by which to define the position of any person par
tv, that may claim either title, viz THAT person,
or party, which sustains the President, in all mea-
sures even those of the most questionable constitu
tionality that goes for the multiplication of patron
age, and opposes the making of Offices of executive
appointment elective, in any way seeks to in
crease and strengthen the power of the executive,
is by that act, adherent of the doctrine of Mr..
Adams, Federaist in all the original Specification
of that term.
On the contrary, the abolition of the veto power,
the reduction Of executive patronage the making of
greater number of offices elective, and all acts by
which power is brought directly within the ex-
ercse of the people truly distinguishes the follower
of Mr.. Jefferson, the true Democrat.

put into motion, the line of division was again drawn.
We broke into t~o parties, each wishing to give the
Government different direction the one to streng-

/ GES. SCoTT's PRoCLAMATION.-The Procla-
nation of Gen. Scott published last week. is to
be taken rather as expressing the views of the
Government than his own: or at best the Gov
eminent must have been cognsaDt of his in
tention TO put forth such document, and sane
toned its sentiments. 1t will be seen that the
Government have at last found new cause of
war, viz: the preponderance of the MonarchicaI
party in Mexico. The Advancement of that party
fastened "these events" the march oil our ar
my on Matamoros must beware that by produ-
cling new causes of war so often, it does not
lead the people finally to the truth, that no adj
| equate cause exists.
| EMIGRATIoN.-As We open our German exchanges
the columns ofparagraphs, headed 'Auswanderung'
(cmgraton) imprcsses irresistably with the idea
that the population of Europe is about to be dashed
en- masss upon our shores. We have been surprised
years past, at the aggregate number landing in
our scaports, yet these only missed, in their
native country, individuals what now to
expect, when European Journals announce the de-
parure of hundreds where before individuals or a
single family, set out Every small farmer and me.

/ uF The Free Press imputes the present
high prices of -four to the tariff of 1916. Well
Queen Victoria has lately put her household
on short allowance of second rate bread; did
the tariff of '46 cause that too. The scarcity
and famine, is by all respectable authorities con-
sdered to be the cause of the present high pr-
ces of Agricultural produce; does the Free
Press mean to insinuate that the Tariff of '46
caused the famine' If so perhaps we only see
