II is amusing to see how some OF the papers de-


voted to the Federal Party, 6dget and fret under


their appropriate appellation. And well they may


for it is but for the people to understand the doc


trines and know the lengths to which the opPosl-


ton is leading them, under the assumed name ol


whig," for them to renounce the connexlon and


denounce their betrayers.


The Newport (Rhode IsIand) Argus and Spec


tator informs u.s. that dboLtionism is becoming es-


sentially federal in its features-that it is fast
merging in federalism, and will rise or fall with
that party. The federal party IN New England


have become practical abolitionists. The press oil
that party declaims as loudly against Mr.. Patton


resolutions, as those of the abolitionists almost
all the federal members in the House OF RePre-
sentatives voted against them. And what tnen
are the self styled "whigs?' They have joined
their political fortunes to the federalists-they rise
or fap' with them, and are neither more nor less
than federalists in practice let them profess what
they may.


We have lately seen developed the doctrines
of ancient federalism in newspapers no'c called
",phig." A writer in the New York Spectator,
modern whg paper, openly, and without reserVa-
ton, maintains the anti-republican doctrines OF
Hamilton, Jay, Adams, and others. He says that
age and loisdom have given US invaluable warn
ing and advice and that the office of "PreSident
should be hereditary % In other words, that age
and wisdom have taught us that should con-
vert our republic into monarchy The fede-
ralists took courage from their success in New
York, and came out boldly with their hateful de-
signs. They have declared that "the hereditary
principle of kings is at least good the elective
principle of republics and the free institutions Sc
cured to US by our republican Constitutions, are
fundamentally wrong.''


The Commercial Advertiser says that nation
be exception to the rule, that large part of
men have not the intelligence or dscernment which
is necessary to guide them the pursuit of their
best interests in government" That the opinions
of Mr.. Jefferson and his disciples are false and vi
sionary and forty years experience has proved that
change in our Constitution is required.


The history of old Federalism is the history of
Federalism (or whiggery) at this day. Then, as
now, they endeavored to stop the appropriations
to embarrass and denounce the Government; and
to exto the enemies of the Republic. The Fede-
ralists in Congress, who endeavored to stop the
wheels of government, in the war with great Br-
tain, are some of the identical persons who oppo-
sed the recent appropriations to carry the war
in Florida. The Federal presses endeavor to ex-
cite sympathy for the ferocious Seminoles; and
the base assassin Oceola, is eulogized by them as
the pattern of honorable chivary. BY such course
they would paralyZe the arm of the government
& do encourage the savage hordes to prolong their
hostility; and incite others to the butchery of the
peaceful families on our frontier.
