So the fruit of that forbidden tree which federalism had
been busy in planting in political garden. since the
DAYS of the alien and sedition laws whilst the special
organ would fan hide from the public eye the paternity
OF such fruit becomes bswdered and staggered in its
efforts to fix portion Of the responsibility for it on the
democratic party Instead OF using any language of our
own 10 correc, the bunders into which the special organ
has fallen in this last particular we insert for its edhca
ton and that OF the public, the following extract from
Mr. Websers speech, delivered at Island Grove Abng-
ton, in 1913
81 have said gentlemen, that in this Buffalo platform,
this collect OF the school, there is nothing new Moth
ing has been pointed There is nothing in it
that all the wings OF the middle and northern States may
not adopt.
+" Gen,lemen, it is well known that there is nothing in
this Buffalo platform which, in general does not meet the
ppobation and the appreciation of all the wings OF
the middle and northern States Suppose now that all OF
wings should go and join the Tree soil party,
what would be the salt Why, far nothing would
ha ppen but that the wing would have changed It's
name That would be all Instead Of being the whg par
y, would be the free soil party We should be all there,
exactly upon the principles upon which we have al
ready stood but then they to go further and d"
that which agree would be great changehat is, to pu

applause
Alter reading the above if the special organ i'm
agine that the democrats OF Pennsylvania wrong
when they ascrbed the evils which produced the Wlmot
provso to the conduct of the wing party think that
the great body of the American people will md other
for its incredibly than that it assigns Such mere
duliiy can only be accounted for do for the hde
y with which parties adhere TO their original prototypes
The same law in the natural world makes il impossible
for the leopard to change his spots 1t is the law
which makes the child preserve the image of its parents
Hence Mr.. Webster never more correct than when
he said the whg party could take the Of the free
soil party, there being nothing but name to distinguish
the one from the other In substance, principle and OBJ
ec, they were the same thing VIVA, Mr.. Webster said
in sas today-names may change, but never prin
cipes.
II is in vain that the special organ seeks to anoin Mr.
Fillmore with the incense OF that patriotism which
is the offering OF ambitious hope. The wing power
which brought him into Office tainted with abolition
ism and free soilism 1t was combination OF hetero
geneous materials Matched in the school OF ancient fed
eralsm, and which capable Of standing the
ties, OF popular scrutiny than the scheme OF Ham
ton TO make President for life, OF the elder Adams
TO shacke the freedom OF the press, the younger
Adams TO make the representative independent OF the
will OF the people Mr.. Fillmore is really CONVEX, to
any democratic prncple he really convinced tina, the
encouragement he afforded to the abolitonists and free
sellers up to the period OF his election was mstake-he
ask 10 have the separation from his old church
crowned with the highest public honor that free people
bestow. In these days Of degenerate public virtue,
such reward would bring suspicion upon the dignity OF
institutions and weaken the principle which POUNDS
government the intelligence and patriotism Of the
people Common decency demands that convert

made Immediately the head chief priest OF the secl
protesting that faith. Common sense SAYS that a SCI
which opens thus its highest bonors convert ac.

Acknowledgment which the democratic party has never
yet made, and we trus, will never make.
