and James Buchanan is sent into the cold
world of politics as the Presidential NOM
inee. The fertility Of resources of the
party will DO put to the severest test in
the support Of James Buchanan. Swine,
aud some other animals have been known
to eat their progeny, but it was reserved
to this year, and the Democratic party, to
present worse anomaly in the natural
history Of politics.
It was once the cardinal virtue Of a
Democrat to Gull epithets sufficiently odi-
Gus for the character and principles of a
Federalist. Damnation was fervently in
voked for Adams, whose voice was first
raised in the cause of independence, and
Hamilton the companion of Washington.
The carly attachment of the "god-likc
Daniel to the Federal party, sat like an
incubus upon him and his hopes, till his
dying day. The name ofFederalist, pro-
nounoed in q Democratic conclave, was
sufficient to bring down groans and the
bitterest imprecations upon the head of
fhe offender.
As Paoli was the watchword for re-
venge with the troops of "Mad Anthony" !"
so has Federalist among Democrats been
the signal sound for the worst and most
determined opposition.
There was once a..time, not long since,
when Bank and Biddle" were the two
loudest strings to the Democratic fiddle.
The United States Bank was
monster of so frightful mien,
That to be hated reeds but to be seem
Gen. Jackson, the great Hercules Of the
party strangled the beast, and lives for
she glorious deed in the songs and chroni-
cles of the party. The friends of the in
stitution, side by side, with the record of
the strangulation, on the same leaf of the
party's history, are denounced as traitors
TO their country, as corrupt and unprinci-
pied villains, SHINING against the Holy
Ghost and never to be forgiven.
Again, the Wing party, fruitful as Pan
dora's box in evils, was made up Of set
of scoundrels, plotting the ruin of the
country in advocating protection to home
industry, striking blow at commerce and
free trade, making the rich richer, and
,he poor poorer and bringing train Of
.miseries upon the country, so plainly to
be seen, that he must be fool who could
not read destruction in prospective, and a
consumn,ate villain, who wonld persist in
the advocacy Of q protective tariff.
We turn back few pages in our mem-
ory, and find these things recorded. We
ind also embodied in the history Of the
times when these things were transpiring,
the official acts of James Buchanan.
A dyed in the wool Federalist, he early
gave enuncia.ion to his faith in Federal
principles, by declaring if he was possess
sed of single drop of Democratic blood
hs..would open his veins and let it out. As
Fsderalist he was elected to the Legisla-
sure of his own State, and thrice to. Con-
--grcss, and he never wavered in the support
Of the principles Of his party, while hold
ing high position by its sufragos. The
odious alien and sedition laws, which have
been fruitful theme for the execration
Of Democrats, down to tina time of the
last convention of the party in California.
found ready apologist in young Buchan-
an. He was sta n b supporter of the
Hartford Convention, the designs of which
to use the proverbial lingo of the Demo
cratic party, when the merits of Daniel
Webster have been heretofore discussed
we're Unreasonable and damnable."
He was friend of the U. s. Bank. and
as such denounced the administration OF
Madison for refusing q re-charter Of the
institution. With the Federal party he
bitterly opposed the last war with Great
Britain, which Democrats claim as a sec
ond war Of independence, and its oppo-
nersts as tories and traitors.
Again, as protectionist, he received
the suffages Of . constituency, devoted te
tariff to foster home industry. How
we'll he carried out the wishes Of the peo-
pie Of his district and State, we will en-
favor to show in good time
Ia this csrsass, the clean. Immaculate
