This Invincibiisy OF the WhE Party.

organ Of whiggery-he Republic
"We upprehend that the party cannot recover
from their present distracted and paayzed condition

If invinciblc It is something to have the places but
when you add to them the possession of all the popular
principles how the wings to be defeated The wing

Our readers viii judge from these extracts what hord
aversion modern whiggery has to the maxims handed
down 10 US by the sages OF the revolution and of 1900
How different is the sentiment which anmates the de-
noeracy This party loves to study the parting advice

attempts to array one portion OF the Union agains, an
other by the formation Of geographical parties. The
same disposition makes this party familiar with the great
struggle which brought Mr. Jefferson into power. and
enabled him TO give TO speech and press the priv
lsge which federal arisocracy had taken away. The
federal party that day considered the patronage Of the
government strong enough 10 make il invncble but the
vriuous yeomany OF the land, aroused by the patriotic
cry Of alarm given by Jefferson and Madison preserved
he Union by driving from power those who had violated
hs constitution II was BY appeals 10 the example and
authority OF those early fathers and sages that the people
were rallied again in is2s, and corrected the abuses of
the younger Adams, who had gained the presidency by
protesting democratic principles, but in

he old cloven foot Of his party, and proclaimed that the
representative should net BE- palsied by the ,cW
aiusnt' We say the democracy loves to recur TO the
rduous struggle which their Chief Magistrate waged
with the conuptons Of that day-corrupions which had
become deeply mbedded in all the administrative de-
armenis OF the government that long time ques-
ionabe whether they could be overcome without destroy

called to the presidency. and The pruning knife in his
hand, proved as safe as the printing press had been in
The hands OF Jefferson and Madison. Mr.. Adams was
sen, home TO the blue light federalism from which
be originally came the United States Bank, the na,u
n instrument OF every movement calculated 10 deceive
and cheat the people, could do nothing more than con-
less the justice which had punished its crimes and the
principle that the patronage Of the government could be
moulded to obtain the sanction OF the people 10 doctrines
subyersive OF their rights obliged to acknowledge
signal defeat and took shelter in the various local inter-
ets which it had enlisted in its service.
Blu, the special organ says us. What have these old
hines 10 do with the pe-en, action OF the government
"Saas man might az psu sit aorn and make mouth, at

The special organ will learn that the way 10
make party invncibe is not to rely the patronage
Of government but on the virtues, maxims and policy
displayed by our patriotic statesmen in the numerous
ta. to which our federal system has been exposed No
party will ever be invincble whose leading Characteristic
