The last Register contains the Speech Of NJ
Badger, delivered at the late public dinner. 7,
has received the usual quantum of "whig" adul,.
tion, by which Mr.. Badger is made almost as gres,
a man as Mr.. Stanley was, when he was spoken o.
for the Office which the former lately filled. Our
purpose in noticing this speech is chiefly to call
the attention ofthe public to gross and scandal
Gus libel which 1t uters against portion of the A.
merican people, constituting large majority, a.
mong whom are the intelligent, the virtuous and
the braVe. Mr.. Badger asks, t'are Loco Foco doc
trnes less fraught with destructive ant-socal and
anti-religious qualities than they were2" By the
Loco Foco doctrine he, Of course, means those en-
terlained by the Democratic party. The old cant
Of federalism is resorted TO- by which it is attempt
ed to brand the Democracy as the foes of social
order and as the enemies Of the Christian religion:
while for Federalism, for hard cider, carousing,
coon-skin, debauching and blasphemous federalism,
is claimed all the morality, The religion and the de-
cency.


Neither Mr.. Badger, nor any CT the decei,ful
politicians with whom he congregates, can point
out single principle cherished by the Democratic
party, which is at with social order or mimi
cal to the christian religion. They may engender
and utter explanatory falsehood but they cannot
bring solitary fact to sustain them. So it was
when the election of Mr.. Je6erson was contested.
Then, as now, those who threatened revolution and
seemed desrous to inflict upon their country the
horrors Of civil war; to promote the object ofher
ambition, and pIacised every political deception
and INDUCED in all sorts Of debauchery, pretended
to dread the consequences to religion in the tri.
umph of Democracy. The Federalists told the
people, that if Jefferson elected, the altars of
God would be RACED ani the temples consecrated
to his consumed by the fires which the idc-
obins would kindle against them. The result
proved that they were worse than false prophets
our country was blessed with the reverse of all they
had predicted


"UnSoci0L and unChriSti0nm % Democratic Far
mers, mechanics, working men of North Carolina
Hear your condemnation from the ex-Secretary-
hear yourselves denounced as unSoci0L and nn-
christian, by a who looks upon the people
with the Of the ancient federal aris,ocracy-
and who would keep the masses-or his friend
BiddLe calls them, the 'servie route"-at ''re-
spectful distance" in all places and all occasions


Mr.. Badger associates the whig principles of the
revolution, with those of The pretended wings ofhe
present day. Does he not know that Federalism
is deeply imbued with the tory principles Of the
revolution, and does he not also know that modern
1rhiggery is Federalism?


Yet in the face of all this political hypocrisy he
asks the public TO give credencc to his testimony
in favor of Mr.. E1ring's statement in relation 10
the Cabinet meeting of the 18th of August! Let
that statement be true or FALSE neither E1ring nor
any member Of the factous cabinet, can escape the
odium of having betrayed private confidence and
violated public honor. They have given the ma
1ha frnit Of Il nj
deceit; they have shown that where they could
not cajoe and wheedle they could betray; and
where they could brow-beat and dismay they
would attempt TO destroy. Alas for them! They
could neither terrfy conquer the President nor
bout a National Bank. Wasn't it barber-ous
Our Secretary found it easier 10 shave the navy
than to lead Capt. Tyler by the nose.


Although the members of the late Cabinet deny
they left their stations because Mr.. Tyler vetoed
the National Bank Bill, yet MIR. Webster seems 10
know Of no other cause and he was certainly pos
sessed Of the secrets of the Cabinet. But why
should Mr.. Badger and his friends be delicate a.
bout announcing The true cause? They had cap
ped the climax OF political cheaterY and deception,
by inducing the people TO believe they were op-
posed to National Bank before the election, and
upon us eStaDtlSHIf1eDl tue
got into power. They Strained gnat" Who'll had
Swallowed the camel" They had paraded before
the people the views of Gen. Harrison, in which
he expressly denies the eonstitutionality Of Ma
tonal Bank, declaring that il not "oRe those
measures necessary to carry any Of the expressly
granted powers into effect" The people IF North
Carolina, and Of this District especially know that
Mr.. Badger was foremost in producing the impres-
sion that no bank would be attempted by his party
and yet he has the efrontery to come before a
portion of the same people and speak Of Bank
Bit that he with the other members of the Cabi-
net, had been induced to recomnlendr' And
then, as if to show his utter contempt for public
discesnment, Mr.. Badger has the audacity to
charge Mr.. Tyler with "want of sincerity and
ingenuousness-of directness and cnndor." If
what he says be true, it does not come well from
his mouth. Lethim show the world some evidence
of his own sincerity and nsenuousness-of d.
rectness and candor before he charges his betters
with a want of these virtues.
