BUcHANAN's FEDERALISM.

The democracy nre complaining because
their opponents refer to the fact that MI. Blu.
cbanan started in public life rs Federnlist
For twenty years the mercsnsries and dirt
eaters Of the so.called .democrncys have per-
sistensly charged Federalism (as something
very odious and offHsive,) upon all who
opposed them; asd the sold Federal party"
has been the burthen Of their song through
quarter Of century. So constant has been
this cry, that many simple souls have come
to believe that "Federalist" and "Tory" were
synonymous terms. Ignorance and stupidity
never committed greater error. In their
day the Federalists were IN honorable and
respectable party, comprising some Of the
greatest national statesmen Of the country,
who were guided by great national principles,
and to pretend any thing else is to display
degree Of Ignorance Of which any white
man ought to be ashamed. A portion Of the
Federalists were opposed to the war of 1912
IA; and among them Mr.. Buchanan
For this, how far they were obnoxious to
censure we shall not now stop to say. 1t Is
sufficient TO know that when the old parties
dsbanded and were merged in new political
organizations, many Of the old Federalists ut.
tached themselves to that one which took
upon itself the title of democratic" and
others to their opponents. When we sad
Mr.. Buchanan had been Federalst, We
did not use the term in the offensive sense
formerly employed by our opponents; bu
if the Wing party was justly obnoxious t.

the "old Federal party" were 10 be found il
its ranks, what ought to be thought of par
ty that takes up one Of these odious "olt
Blue Lights" and dominates him for The Presi
dency! That's one point; and another is, tina
whatever prejudices may exist against tn,
democratic nominee for his Federalism, is no
chargeablc in the least to his present polite
al opponents, but to tho former misrepresen
tations and ISLANDERS of those who now sup
port him for the Presidency. If our demo
cratic contemporaries would labor to enlightel
their readers, instead of presuming so mucl
upon their ignorance, they would not b,
brought to the necessity of eating their owl
words MS often MS they are.

Mr.. BUCHANAN IN New YoRK.-The New
York Herald Of Monday quotes from the
comments of the Daily journals Of that city
on the Cincinnati nominations, and makes
the following remarks:
or these eleven dailies there are but three.
of m inferior grade or Indifferent circulation
that fully endorses the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan, while in 1852 the nomination of
Franklin Pierce was responded 10 by the
whole Of our metropolitan journals, with two
or three exceptions. Why this chilling con-
trast between 1852 md 1856! WHAT Inns
produced III How nre we TO account for ity
Is II not very remarkable that man 80 ob.
scure MS Franklin Pierce was in 80 should
have been hailed with such enthusiasm, while
in '66 the selection by the democracy of one
of their best known, most experienced and
respectable statesmen should be received here
with such extraordinary evidences of cold
ness and distrust!
The solution Of this mystery Is very sim
pie. ln 1852 public opinion looked with hope
and confidence to The democratic party MS
break.water against the seditious schemes Of
the anti slavery agitators Of the North. On
the contrary. in 1856 the democratic party,
as debauched and demoralized by the Grim.
innl folies, blunders and imbeciIites of this
Pierce administration, has lost the confidence
OF the majority Of our thinking and independ-
ent men. This accounts for The comparative
GOODNESS and distrust with which the NOM
ination Of Mr.. Buchanan has been received
by the newspaper press of this metropolis.

t%- Tho s'immense enthusiasm" which
was ordered to follow the announcement Of
the Cincinnati nominations is about fzzled

great.guns and the shouts of excited multi.

In the Southern States, no gatherings

journals display unbounded joy with the
nomination, and the village politicians shake
their wise heads and swear at is just the
thing''-yet further than this nothing has fol.
lowed to show even that candidate has
been selected.
We do not allude to the unusual feeling
of indifference among the people which has
followed the presentation Of the democrats

friends on their guard against the misrepre.

feet to believe that their candidates will have
nothing to do but to walk over the track, and
who are as profoundly ignorant of the real
feeling among the people, ms they are of the
workings Of the government under which
they live, move and have their being. Mr..
Buchanan may be elected, but there are no
indications of such result at present. As
we said last week, he is very clever, respec-
table old gentleman, but the signs at present
are all clearly against his success. The en-.
thusasm which followed the announcement
of his name, ended with the explosion of the
powder that had been bought in advance for
the occasion.

TIE YOUNG MEH IN Xcr1oN.

Ono Of the most cheering signs of
the times, says the West Tennessee
Wing, is the interest now being taken
by the young men of the country in
behalf Of Fillmore and Donelson.
In every successful canvass the active
service must be performed by young
men old men will do to counsel, but
young men for labor. General Harri-
son was elected in 1910 principally by
the intrepidity and zeal Of the young
men Of the country; SO was General
