.. Old Federalism.
Chairman

The party which thrives on the name
Of democracy willie it eschews its spir-
1t, possesses peculiar talent at using
the words Old Federalism. STRIPPING
democrats and verdnnt editors. who new .
er had the remotest suspicion as te, their
meaning. use them as fipPantly as IL
school boy recites bis well learned lesson.
1t is an easy matter to prejudice the I'M
informed and the misinformed, by the
application of name which bellies the
principles professed by a person OF party
The Hartford Courant thus happily
replies 10 the Times, which is prone to
the weakness spoken of.
Our neighbors appear to be quite haunt
ed with the ghost of old F'ede' alsm. That
now extinct party had it's uses in the day
of it's existence, and performed its mission
on the destinies of the nation. 1t was a
name, the recollection of which need bring
no shame. 1t was the party OF washington
and Hamilton, and Jay and Marshall. and
Ellsworth. 1t was necessary to the very
formation of our present Union. counter
acting as it then did, the ultraism Of OK,
IRENE State Rights. That its tendency
was to the opposite extreme of centralisn
and consolidation, we lament. But IN the
pursuit of that theory, it stands not alone ia
the history Of our country. The man who
said, 81 WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY y
did more for ceptralism than the old Fede-
raj party ever dreamed of. The establish
ment Of those anti-republican measures,
the Alien and Sedtion laws, was rather the
fault of the leaders than the party, and
seemed to them called for by the peculiar
exigencies of the times. But that party is
now matter of history, and whatever
faults that history records, there cannot be
found among them the meanness of making
league with party of opposite principles
for the sake Of enjoying Office. or the du-
plicity Of advocating the success of such n
coalition, when its principles were despi-
sed.

Death Of James Montgomery.

In our last, we briefly announced the
deccase of this eminent English poet.
He departed this life at his residence in
Sheffield. Eng. on the 4th day of No.
vember, in the slst year of his ago.
He was born at Irvine. in Scotland, in
l77l: and, being the son Of Moravian
clergyman, it was the design of lis pa.
rents that he should become preacher
of that denomination. But his literary
taste caused him to abandon his profess
sional studies and in 1892. he went to
Sheffield, and soon after became the ed
i,or of a weekly newspaper. For print
ing q song commemorative Of the destruc-
ton of the Bastile, he was imprisoned
three months in York Castle, and fined
twenty pounds; and was second time
imprisoned for publishing some passage
offensive to government. During his
last confinement, he wrote Prison A
musements." which was published in
1897. During the following year. he
wrote 1.-THE Wanderer Of Switzerland" y
which in few months passed to third
edition. and was made immortal by an
attack upon it in the Edinburgh Review.
In 1919, he published 1.-THE World Be-
fore the Flood" poem in nine cantos,
and one of the most finished aud beauti
ful works ia the religious literature Of the
English language. His Songs Of Zion
Appeared in 1922. and added much to
his fame as an author. besides securing
the affectionate remembrance Of the low
els Of devotional poetry.

Prorress ar the Americans.

The Liverpool Chronicle thus speaks of
rs as people
In an interval of a little more than half
a century, It appears that this extraOrdin>
airy people have increased about 500 per
cent, in numbers; their national revenue
has augmented nearly 700 per cent, while
their public expenditures have increased
little more than 400 per cent. The pro.
digious extension Of their commerce is in.
dicaled by an increase of nearly 500 per
cent in their shipping.
The increased activity Of their internal
communications is expounded by the num-
Der Of their post Offices, which have been
increased more than hundred foid-the
extent of their post roads. which have been
increased thirty.six fold-and the cost of
their post Office, which has been augmenI-
ed in seventy>two fold ratio.
The augmentation of their machinery of
public instruction is indicated by the extent
OF their public libraries, which have increas-
ed in thirty two fold ratio--and BY the
creation of school libraries, amounting to
two million volumes. They have complies
ted system of canal navigation, which
placed in continuous line, would extend
from London 10 Calcutta, and system of
| railways which, continuously extended.
would stretch from London TO Van Die .
mans Land, and haye provided locomotive
machinery by which that distance would
be traveled over in three weeks, alta cost of
one penny and a half per mile. The ton>
nage Of their inland navigation is greater
than that of all other countries in The world
combined, They have constructed lines Of
electric telegraph, which. laid continuously,
would extend oyer space longer by three
Thousand miles than from the north to the
south pole. These are social and CONNER
cial phenomena for which it would be vain
to seek parallel in the past history Of the
world. &
