and the Judge discovering the flames, which had ap

assistants with buckets of water in the hope of ar

Political masters serve "the good people of the
State" and the Sons of Temperance very much
certain farmers treat their oxen; they call them
fine fellows, pet them fondly, slip the yoke upon
their necks, drive them high and low, and when the
days work is DONE they turn them out to grass For
one, we tired of all such. Spirit Of the Age.
The above is from the organ-not of the temper
ance men-but of the total abstinence and prohibi-
tory law men of North Carolina. We pronounce it
unauthorized Federalism. The Editor of the Age
is Wing, but he had been quite successful, up to
the penning of this article in steering clear of poll
tics But the pitcher which sent often to the
well was at last broken Ever since the days of
the elder Adams and of the alien and sedition laws,
it has been the habit of the Federasts thus to speak
of the people. They regard them dangerous to
themselves, and hence they constantly urging
laws to protect them against themselves; and they
speak of them frequently in this case, subjects
to be Evoked" and driven about by political mas
ters."
Now the people of this country know no "politi-
cal masters. " They are, themselves, the masters;
they govern themselves, and politicians and public
their servants Any other doctrine no mat
ter by whom advanced, is foreign from the nature
of our institutions-s Federalism of the strongest
stamp.
