Federal or Democratic.

We eepy as follows from the New Orleans Times:
It may now be considered as determined that the
new political issue be presented as the piffofm OF
the Republican party will be the old Federal doctrine
of centrased government, with al State rights abro
gated and State laws abolished. Slc prominent men
as Charles Sumner. j. Latrop Motley, Henry Ward
Brecer and George Curtis have already. SINCE the
election, entered The lists in advance and boldly pro-
posed the iSsilc Notwithstanding the fact that change
so utterly revolutionary in It's character would mt one
blow s.,ip every czr Of this country Of his personal
rights as republican, they nctnally contemplate per-
ectng this scheme hy the aciion OF Congress elected
upon entirely different issue, and III contest where
it washot even limited nj, TINS totally ignoring tie
wishes and opinions ot the people. II remains 10 be
seen, then in view Of this eaup detat whether the
people will taney submit to the sHrpaton-whethrr
they prepared surrender their State sovereignty
defend its existence In short, it actually would
appear that hF the universal law Of rerompense, the
people of the North will shortly be in The field fighting
the battle in which they latey defeated their
Soutrern brothers. Long ago Aic,ulay pointed out
the coming day when sncla Government as must,
by the rule os all historical precedent fail when the
policy Of ote State one people would manifest its
snpreme strength aud hold all others in aiect vaSsal-
nee That day may be nearer than we anticipate. If
Massachusetts did not whip the South she ut least
kHdled The fame which finally consumed it. To-day
her policy prevails in the councils OF the naon superior
all her rivals thoroughly that Of littIe England
swayed ov"rsrewn Europe for centuries.
With this growing supremacy grows the necessity of
power to maintain It, and tile gentlemen mentioned in
this article too dstue politicians not to know this
possibility only exist outside the present form OF
government, which devised BY wise foretlers
with the special view OF preventing just What they aim
ut. In the days of Madison, Monroe Clay, Calhoun
aud Webster the suggestions they have already uttered
would have been branded tfroG.ho the land
son of the blacke<t dye. State sovereignty was then
hedged about with the awe OF majesty. But the
