unblushing attempt to torture, perverl and

Democrats. Such has been leadinn char

II ever man was opposed TO New Eng
land Federlism, lis policy, its tyranny, it's
hypocrisy and selfshness, that man was
Andrew Jackson. If ever upon the head of
any one individual, New England Federism
heaPed all of It's malevolence, its deiraction
its SANDER aud its fiendish malgniiy, it was
upon that of the Hero of the Hermitage.
He was descended from the Irish, a race
constantly hated and prosecuted by New
England politicians, and which New Eng
land Know Nothings in 1855 attempted to
deprive of the rights of citizenship in this
country. He was the hero OF the war of 1912
"a war waged against the British and their
murderous allies, the savage tribes of the
Northwest and South. This war was de-
nornced by New England Federalists, as
wicked, ungodIy, aud develsh, New Eng
land preachers charged that il was the work
of James Madison, Felix Grundy, and the
deviI. " and opposed it accordingly. h was
pending this war that New England FEEDER
alien met in solemn council: at Hartford,
Connecticut, TO dissolve its relations with
the Federal Union and when the British
soldiers were burning and sacking Wash
ngton City, and their allies, the Indians,
were tomahawking aud scslping our pion-
eer settlers in the Northwest and South,
New England FederIisis were holding out
"blue lightso TO inform British blockading
cruisers when our ships would leave haIbor
so as 10 enable the enemy to make.capiures.
Andrew Jackson was the hero of this war,
and brought il 10 glorious termination at
New Orleans, notwithstanding the efforts OF
Black Fedehism to the contrary. For his
distinguished services iE this war the Black
FederIis,s of New England never forgave
him. He furnished another ground OF COM

ed The elder Adams For acrimony, abase,
personal SANDERS and foul epilhets, the
Presidential contest or 1928 stands unequal-

even lis own vocabularies for terms to ex-
press lis hatred, It's delesiation of the old
hero. Black federalism everywhere joined
in the hue and cry The country was
flooded with coffin Eandbils charging the
gambler, drunkard, a profaner OF the
Sabbath, an infidel, and wicked aduterer.
Even the sanc,iiy OF his household was
invaded. His wife was iraduced and
brought to the grave by the malice of her
traducers. ambassadors, spies, agents and
emissaries availed themselves of his hos

bells. Nothing indeed that the ingenuity of
Black Federalism could invent-and what
can it not do ?--was left undone 10 defeat
the brave old man. Il was in vain.
From that period forth the task of Black
Federali sm, during Old Hickory's admins
ration, was TO make war on him and his
friends. Who does not remember the con-
test between him and that pet of Black
Federalism, the United States Bank 2 Who
has forgotten the threats of assassination
made by New England FederaIisis, who'
even on Sunday attempted to incile the
people TO rebellion, saying that revolutions

old man over all their Vaccinations and

view Of the tact that The Constitution of the
United States expressly conferred upoL
Congress The right and power TO levy and
collect tariff duties, gave utterance TO the
sentiment, now so much in vogue with
Black Federalism, "The Federal Union-it
must be preserved" and recommended 20
Congress to enac, such laws as would en-.

the exercise of plain constitutional power,
had imposed.
For moment let us pause and look at
things as they then stood, in view Of all the
cotemporaneous and surrounding circum>
stances, and then ask il among all the low
devices, pallry tricks and unprincipied mis-
applications or isolated expressions OF great
and honest men 10 promote its evil designs,
Black Federalism has descended so low as
to use THE language of the old hero in sup
port of the present fiendish war Of subjuga-
ton against South Carolina, his native, and
Tennessee, his adobted State.
AT that period there was no higher law
