For the True Democrat. Federalism Dissected,
 Or Federalism alias Whigism shown in their true Colors. NO. TX.
 The year 1852 was rendered memorable from having again produced three distinct and pow erful candidates for the presidency. Gen. Scott, another of those heroes brought forth from those wars so heartily cursed by the fe- deralists, was unblushingly chosen as their can- didate. Franklin Pierce was the choice of the democratic party; and Jno. P. Hale on the part of the embryo Know Nothings of the north.
 In those days, so little did the. federalists apprehend any danger from the Catholics, and so little did they care whether the Catholics worshipped the devil or the Pope, so they would only vote the federal whig ticket, that they actually nominated Catholic for the highest office known to our government. Well do we remember the pathetic appeals that were made to our Catholic citizens of Louisville, Cincinnati, and other places, to vote for their candidate on the grounds of his being Catho- lie, and having daughter in the Georgetown nunnery.
 Notwithstanding Gen. Scott was Catholic and that every Catholic, (according to Prem tice, Pike, Borland, et id genus omne,) owes al- legance to the Pope, who of course by the same parity of reasoning was in favor of Scott, yet strange to say, shamefully neglectful of their allegiance to his holiness, large majority of the Catholics voted for Protestant Pierce thereby elevating him to the highest office within the gift of the American people.
 The majority of the old federal party at the north, after their shameful defeat in 1852, fol- lowing their natural proclivity, affiliated with the abolitionists, leaving but bare corporal's guard to contend for the principles so long and so gallantly battled for by Clay and Web ster. Made bold by this accession to their ranks and by the indirect encouragement given to their treacherous designs here at the south there has been no session of Congress since the triumphant election of Gen. Pierce but what has been signaized by the mad and demonia- cal efforts of the abolitonists to rend asunder this glorious Union now the pride and envy of the world.
 In order to free the south from the tram mels imposed upon it by the Missouri Compro- mise, as well as to silence the rawlings of those northern fanatics with regard to the admission of further slave territory" into the Union, Mir. Douglas, democratic Senator from Illinois, (who has proved frmer friend to the south | that many pseudo southerners,) introduced his famous Nebraska bill, the object of which was to give the territories the right of governing themselves, or the privilege of determining whether slavery an institution should exist amonsthem or not. The passage of that bill, through the instrumentality of the democrat e party, aided by few true and gallant whigs of the south, virtually repealed the Missouri Compromise bill, which in weak and un guarded moment the south aided in passing, and which gave to northern abolitonsts that power which tn ey have so shamefully and wickedly abused.
 l Mir. Douglas for his efforts in behalf of the south besides being threatened with the vengeance of an infuriated mob, was actually denounced from the pupits of sixteen Protes- tant churches in the cit, of Chicago all on one Sabbath day.
 | It Is we'll known to every one, that to a late petition to repeal the Nebraska bill, no less than sixteen hundred Protestant preachers names were appended. Was there ever an abolition petition gotten up or presented to an American Congress that 1t was not at the lnstigation of some of the fanatical preachers of the north? And yet we are told by those ' who
 Give forked counsel, take provoking gold (thcir

 On either hand and put it up.-
 So wise. so grave of So perpexed tongue
 And loud withal, that will not wag, nor

 that we Protestants are in danger from body of christians, who, if we understand their creed alright, are positively prohibited from intermed- ding in politics further than voting is concern ed, whilst we are in no danger at all from a set ot hypocrltical scamps at the north, who use the honored name of Protestant as cloak for their rascality, and who, not content with food ing the whole south with their bgoted, lying, and incendiary publications, are at this mo- ment moving heaven and earth in order to crush the south. The abolition party having arrived to its present strength from the acces- 1 ciopc do to ;t,p b,, ,l1 4l, pointed and dsaffected throughout the north, has at length, from the principle that "peres cum parabus taci1inae congregatu," swallowed up all of the abomnable isms, until at this time it composes ferce fanatical, and blood-thirsty set of fends, who are destined at no distant day, without more perfect unity on the part of the south, to destroy not only our time- hon. bred institutions but our very liberties If any one doubt this, in addition to the con- duct of those northern madmen let him come nearer home and see how things stand here ern towns and cities. There he will find that three fourths of their citizens are northern men actuated by northern principles. That almost 
 every federal or Know Nothing paper is edited by Yankees or those who have received Yan. kee education, and that therefore, however much the country at large may vote for and sustain southern principles, that every town, city and village throughout the southern State. invariably cast the federal vote If then the rule is good one, which they seem SO partcu. larly anxious to apply to foreigners, viz: That linen have particular hankering for the place of their nativity, as we'll as the principles in. stilled into them there; and consequently have no love for our insttututions," by the same parity of reasoning it holds doubly good with themselves; for the present abolition clap-trar of Know Nottingham originated with the Yan. kee aboitionists of the north, was introduced into Arkansas and all of the southern States
