Mr.. JEFFERSON, more than 80 years ago, predict
ed the present course of the Federal Party. In a
letter written in 1904, and preserved in the me-
moirs Of his life he said "the- Federalists know
that go nonsine they are gone &forever. Their OBJ
ject therefore is how to return into power under
some other form. Undoubtedly they have but one
means, which is to divide the Republicans, join
the minority and barter with them for the cloak of
their name Isay join the minority, because the
majority of the Republicans not needing them will
not buy them. The minority having no other
of ruling the majority, will give price for
auxiliaries, and that price must be principle 1t
is that the Federalists, needing their numbers
also, must also give price, and principle is the
coin they must pay IN. Thus a bastard system of
Federo-R epubcanism will rise on the ruins OF the
true principles of the revolution.' .


The Federalists formerly gloried in their party
name, nor was it until their principles were con-
demned by the American People, that they COM
menced change of names, as circumstances rem
dered it necessary to conceal their designs. They
begun with Federal Republican, National Re-
publican" and finally, under the baptismal minis
traton of gentleman WEBB, took that of "Whig."
They have since affixed cognominal appendages,
and have called themselves, at times " "Republican
Wings" ""Democratic WhigsT &c. Many Of our
citizens, whose opportunities for information are
circumscribed, are now deceiyed by the name of
Whig, so glorious in Revolutionary days, and are
led by men who vilely betray their confidence to
support measures that would inevitably destroy e.
very principle for which the aVl1gs of the Revou-
ton contended. - - r >'s'''2'--'" - +
