arisen out of the acquisition of territory from

0-T Things have changed greatly since the
days of Alexander Hamilton, who together
with many others advocated the policy of d
strong government, endowed with the veto
power, and for such course they were char
acterized by the Democratic party as Federal
lists. At the present day we find the party
which styles itself the Democratic party sus-
tanning this same veto power. advocating a
strong government, and opposing the will Of
the people. But we must not wonder at this
since we see in the candidate of that party
an old Federalist of the black cockade
stamp, and an opponent of Thomas Jeffer-
