feel that cannot better respond to them than
by a sincere declaration, that in the event of my

The declaration Of principles embodied in the
resolves ofyour Convention, express sentiments

GOLD FEDERALIsM."-In former political CAM
paigns, and up to very recent period, the Or
gans and party advocates of the democratic"
party, had much to say about the ancient Fed
eralism of certain Statesmen, coupling it with
the epithet ''trator." For the benefit of these
haters of old Federalism, we quote few passa-
ges from 4th of July speech of Mr.. Buchanan,
delivered at the time Of the ssFederalist" excite
ment. .2s 80 r,. -sss sta .e,.-
The "strong points, in this speech, we may
remark, cons sttute the very same sentiments
which these consistent democrats" who are
now supporting Buchanan for President have
always denounced as Unreasonable" -" ... ss-

Constitution. The individuals Of which it was

thors Of tbs opposition were chiefly dendyogues,
who might have risen to the head of a State fac
ton, but who felt conscious that their talents
would be eclipsed, when the lumnaries of the
United States should be collected around the
General Government" ~ s&
'True to their original principles and their
first love, the Democratic party Of that day be

came more tile enemies Of social order" .s

they carried, by their diaboticat passions, that
they dared publicly, and without the slightest
foundation, to accuse him Of secretly putting his

"What must be our opinion of an opposition,
