4 base Federal Lie nailed to the Counter.

The work OF falsehood has already be-
gun, and federalism is a: its sile work n
gain. No sooner were the nominations OF
he Baltimore Convention announced, than
the fede,al press commenced their accus.
toned game Of falsehood, yituperation and
slander. This ia. ns was to be expected
Il would have been unlike federalism not
10 sneak evil Of the man who had stood by
l.is country in all her contests with foreign
powers--in the war of-lSl2, in the field,
and who rather than surrender his sword
to British officer at the time of Hull 8 sur
render, Indignantly broke it in fragments
who. when Minister to France, asserted
and by his talent and energy, maintained
the rights OF his country, and shwarted the
efforts Of England to make herself mistress
Of the seas-who, in the Oregon controyer-
sy, stood firmly and faithfully by his coun-
| try's rights to the last-who, in the war
with Mexico has been the able and faith
| ful defender of his country's honor in the
| Senate chanfber-the friend Of JEFFERSON
! and JAcKsoN-could anch a nun escape
federal abusef No. Such man is LEWIS
CAss, the Democratic candidate for the
the Presidency.
One Of the most nonsensical falsehoods
Of the federal press in relation 10 the Gen.
CAss, is the charge that he was federal
! is,. Such abase falsehood is perfectly char.
acteris,c Of the federal leaders. In 1914
they got up their Roorbacks, and they have
commenced the present contest by falsely
charging the gallant and heroic WELLEr
with cowardice, and 10 crown their infam5
they now charge Gen. CAss with being ,
federalist. But they viii prove as unavail
| ing TO them now, as did their Roorback
and forgeries in 1914.
| . The following testimony OF Thomas JEFF
ferson and Andrew jackson is a complel'
refu,ation Of this ridiculous federal lie.
