 Having in the preceding articles given fair, candid, impartial, but rapid sketch of the doings of the old federal party, we now come to pe- riod in our political history which gave rise to third party at the north, and whose peculiar characteristics are enmity to every thing south ern, or violent and deadly opposition to the south and its time -honored institutions. We allude to the application of Missouri for adms- sion into the Union in 1819 Active opposition to the further extension of slavery to newly l formed States then manifested itself for the first time, and the nucleus around which all of the dlsatfected at the north have since rallied. until at the present time, they form a vast, in- congruous and interruptions mass of nfuriated fanatics, whose baleful influence o'ershadows the whole of this proud and glorious Union.
 The federal party having, in order to dupe portion of the republican party into the support Of federal measures, vilely adopted the name of republican, which they prefixel to their tickets, and which had the desired effect Gin as much as 1t caused thousands who only viewed matters superiicaly to ignorantly vote for men and measures which they had ever detesed) now found themselves sufficiently strong to enter into the great presidential contest. uav- ing, with their usual adroitnesss succeeded in dividing southerners in sentiment, they calcu- lated on an easy and certain victory; but To, their dark and nefarious designs were discover ed, but not until it was too late to thwart the evils resulting from them. Through the du- picity, baseness and trcachery of the "repubi- can federal party" the will of the nation at large was defeated, and the presidential elec- ton of 1924, wherein Andrew Jackson and John Q. Adams were the most conspicuous can- didates, was carried into the House of Repre- sentatives, when again. owing to the dcfection of Henry Clay, then speaker of the House, Adams that noted fedcraist an abolitiouist was palmed of on the people of this Union as their president.
 Elated with the success which had attended their nefarious schemes in the last election, the federal party again went into secret caucus for the purpose of marshaling their clans for the ensuing contest. In shift, evasion duplicitv and downright baseness that party, in the presidential campaign of 1928, perfectly eclps- ed all their previous efforts Such was the "intense feeling" peryadipg the breasts of the national republican federalists' (for this was the new name assumed by them) that they paraded |" coffin handbls'' throughout the length and breadth of the country, because the patriotic Jackson, threading foreign influence" had the firmness to execute two of their espe- cial friends Arbuthnot and mbrister, British subjects, whom he had detected n tie act of furnishing the Greeks and Seminole Indians with ammunition to destroy the detenceess ill., habitants of both Florida and Georgia.
 In order to defeat the patriotic Jackson in obtaining the presidential chair there was 10 act of baseneSs or dupicty that he national fede- ral party did not resort to, and although Know NothlnSlSm had not then Ca local habtation or d name," the history of the times proves, that the national republican party did not fall far short of their immediate successors, the Know Nothings, in devising schemes to destroy the perpetuity of our glorious and word-reuowned institutions With that reckcssness which they have ever displayed when playing their accustomed game fDr the ascendencv, they did not hesitate to resort to the basest tabricatons, the deepest and blackest falsehoods to carry out their objects, and to heap, if possible disgrace and odium on the heads of both Jackson and the republican party; who now, Gin order to un- deceive many who confounded tue true repub- lcan party with the national republican party) adopted through. sell-deleuce the name of de- mocrats.
 After one of the most exciting contests which has ever been witnessed in these United States. if we except the election of 184O, the demo- cratic party was triumphant. The stern, n- flexible and patriotic Jackson, was placed iu- that seat from which he had been basev busted by the schemes and treachery of the federal party, whilst his miserable opponents, who had almost forfeited heaven itself in order to ac- complish their base designs, were sent bowling to their secret caves and dens, there to brood over their well-merited misfortunes, and to concoct new schemes for the destruction of the liberties of their native country.
