more conspicuous than its constant, porsis-
tent and unblushing attempt to torture
pervert and misapply, to suit its wicked
purposes, the expressions and sayings of
distinguished Democrats. Such has been
the leading characteristic Of the party in all
time past.
If ever a man was opposed to New Eng
land Federalism, its policy, its tyranny,
its hypocrisy and sefshness, that man was
Andrew Jackson. If ever upon the head
Of any one individual, New England Fed
eralisn heapcd all Of its maevoence, it's
distraction, its SANDER and its hendsh ma
lignity, it was upon that Hero of the Hero
Of the Hermitage. He was descended from
the Irish, a race constantly hated and per-
secuted by New England politicians, and
which New England Know Nothings in
1853 attempted to deprive Of the rights of
| citizenship III this country He was the
hero of the war of lSl2-wagcd against
the British and their murderous allies, the
savage tribes Of the Northwest and South.
This war was denounced by New England
Federalsts, as wicked, ungodly, and devil
ish. New England preachers charged that
it was the work Of james Madison Felix
Grundy, and the Devil, and opposed it
accordingly. 1t was pending this war that
I, New England Federalism met in solemn
council in Hartford, Connecticut, to dissolve
its relations with the Federal Union and,
when the British soldiers were burning and
sacking Washington City, and their allies,
the Indians, were tomahavking and scalp
ing our pioneer settlers in the Northwest
and South, New England Fcderalists were
holding out 'bue lights to inform British
blOckadng cruisers when our ships would
leave harbOr, 50 as to enable Che enemy to
make captures. Andrew Jackson was the
hero Of tins war, and brought it to glOri-
Gus termination at New Orleans, notwith
standing the efforts Of Black Federalism to
| the contrary. For his distinguished servi-
ces in this war the Black Federalists of New
England never forgave him. He furnished
another ground Of complaint to Black Fed
cralism in 1928 He committed the un-
pardonabe sin Of defeating John @. Ad-
ans, a New England Fedcralist, for the
Office Of Prcsident-an oticnse only equaled
in turptudc by certain Thomas Jefferson
in 1893, when he defeated the elder Adams.
For acrimony, abuse, personal SANDERS aud
foul cpithcts, the Presidential contest Of
+ 1928 stands uncqualed New England
d Federalism exhausted even its own yocabu-
larcs for terms to express it, hatred its
/ dctestaton Of the old hero. Black FEEDER
alism everywhere Joined in the hue and cry.
/ The country was flooded with coffin hand
bills charging the old man with foul muir
der. He was called gambler, Il drunkard,
: Il prof;incr of the Sabbath, an infdcl, and
Il wicked adultcrer. Even the sanctity
Of his household was invaded. His wife
was traduccd and brought to the grave by
! the malice of her traduccrs. ambassadors,
spies agents and cmissarics availod them
to malicious lheis. Nothing indccl that
ingenuity of Black Federalism could invent
and what can it not do?--was left undone
to defeat the brave old man. 1t was all in
vain.
From that period forth the task Of Black
Federalism during Old Hickory Admin
lshation was to make war on him and his
friends Who does not remember the con-
tost between him and that pet of Black
, Federalism, the United States Bank? Who
has forgotten the threats of assassination
f made by New England Federalists, who,
even ON SUNDAY, attempted to incite tho
people to rebellion, saying revolutions did
