We borrow this word froIa the "decencY party" !"
and they of course will not complain Of lis frequent
use, 1t is applicable now to new notion started
bv some of the federal presses. In remarking on
the prosperity of the country, an opposition paper
states that trade is as good in Boston as "can be
desred,m and that it is all owing TO the GoG7'0on-
rlent of the sub-treasury scheme 1t Is but snort
time since this same party abused the chairman OF
the finance committee of Congress, for saying that
the sub-treasury principle was In actual operation.
Nay, they eensured the government on the grouno
that it had adopted the subtreasury plan In the ao-
sence of Congressional provision; indicating that
il would be much more wise in the Treasury De-
partment, to take council of Mr.. Biddle and the
Wall Street Brokers, in the management of its at
fairs. than to exercise the discretion allowed by
Congress.


Now that the country is recovering from the et-
fects of bank & mercantile imprudence and fedora
panic, and the whole system OF fraud and decep-
ton pracsed by that party laid bare to the people
they seek for a new device with which to gull the
community and pretend that our prosperity flows
from an abandonment of a policy that never was
adopted in form, and the principles of which dc
now exist, from necessity, in the absence OF legal
provision.


The federalists, in the bloated consequence oil
imaginary superiority, and in the vain idea of sur
passing s'talents and decency" seem to think that
the ''mass of ignorance" the 'servile route" the
''huge paved farmers and mechanics, can be made
to believe the most papable misrepresentation
and sanction the most glaring absurdities.-How
often must they be told that they vastly underrate
the talents and discernment of the people?


The farmers are told that they are ruined, and
this is said in the face of fair and liberal market
the mechanics are told that they are oppressed
while enjoying lucrative employment, except in a
few cases where federal malgniy exercises its op-
pressions for political coercion; the merchants are
told that they undone, in the very hustle of an
active trade. But lest of these classes should
happen to the monstrous absurdity Of their dec
arations the federalists suddenly come out with a
new humbug; and declare that the farmers, the
mechanics and the merchants are not in fact ruin
ed or distressed, but are prosperous ''as be
desired" which is all owing to the patriotism of
MIR. Biddle, the Wall Street Brokers, and the Bank
Attorneys, backed by the F. F. R. N. N. r. w. R.
w. D. w. S. R. w. Party, who have forced the
government to abandon the sub-treasury!


1t is always unwise to underrate the intellectual
physical powers of another and it is equally
safe for any body of men to estimate their own
abilities too highly. This is eminenty the case
with the federalists. While they hold, or affect to
hold their opponents in contempt, and to look upon
the people entirely ignorant and vulgar, they
imagine themselves to be Gall the world, and half
of Nantucket" as the saying is. But we prophecy
their majesties will shortly 'take tumble"
