Mir. Adams-1n the years 18l6-17-l8 no one, &C., quanted with my political views, doubted ,ha, was Democrat. h those times when the question iu realty before the People for their solemn deci- sion. whether the councils of our State should be con roed by" favored few," by the popular will {; whether all legislation should be directed with re- ference 10 the immediate benefit of certain ones, the high and permanen, interests Of the People, then I was never suspected of being Federalist Al fire, the Democratic party truly " a sma!! beginning ;" but conscious of the excellency of our cause, and knowing the people 10 be virtnous at heart we per. severed amid sneers and con,umeIy and threats; we pushed forward, ill at length the cause of truth and the People trumphed. The principles which con- troled me in that memorable struggle my princ- pies sl-=hey have governed me in every vote have deposited from that day to this. But notwithstanding / no,U Ftaev vnist :! because under a new state of tlings-on questions of an entirely different na. ure-I choose to exercise my judgment earlessly and the privilege of voting (,hat sacred prerogave of freeman) as my patriotism haowed by my oath dic- ,atea. am an " old blue skin Federalss." And who the of these latter times that embody all the Democracy and all the real afpa,rioam? Are they the W ho fought the battles Of our grous revolution He I0SL Oi ulHlOTtA OaHu lA Out JuSt lingering with us, ready 10 pass away forever. Are they the who engaged in the contest for pre- sent democratic constiiu,isn? No--,hese are not the men. It ia true that many of US who associates in that successful effort ourselves and children "equa rights and privileges" differ, and honestly too, some questions of NatioRa and State policy. But upon those great, enduring principles, for which tough shoulder shoulder, we elil are one-when shas is our theme our hearis burn | together.

 No-,hese men, who the only Patriots and onlv Democrats and who, lest it should chance not EO be discouered. trumpet m every and every occa- sion, renegade FederasIs, and set of babies in politics OEihe former class I cay nohng-tbey are understood and will have their reward. But is it most ghabIe to see flock of un6edged chicken poll itcians, who know nothing of the battles of DemOc- racy and Federalism but by history and tradition. standing around the streets, i0lestng every corner. striving to alarm the feara of their Fahers by peePing Federalism federalism! Blue lights Blue lights Why the little ones almost die with horror at the sigh Of certain old Democrats, upon whom they have been directed to fix tho name of Federalis Don't be scar cd boys--peep sway-.'twill s,rsng,he" your lu"gs and it's very harmless. More hereafter.
