Was my conduct in Congress then such as to entitle me to the appellation of federalist ? ( Cries of no, no, and cheering ) I had the honor1 as Chairman of a Committee in the! year 1800, to devise a bill which had for its object to snatch! from the grasp of speculators all this glorious Country which noweems with rich harvests under the bands of the honest, in Hnctrfnna and virtuous husbandman.

Theie is an1 essential difference between the President of the United States and me.

It has been said by the Henrys, tbe Madisons, the Gray sons, and others, that one of the great dan gers initour Government is, that the power vested in the General Government would overshadow tbe Government of the States. There is truth in this, and long since and nften have I exDressed the opinion that the interference of the General Government with the elective franchise in the States, would be the signal for the downfall of Lib erty. That interference has taken place, and while the professed Democrats declare themselves disciples of JefTeisoo, and de clare they are governed by his principles, they are urging 100,000 office holders to meddle in tbe State elections ! .

Ab, no, no J Again, in relation to the'ehargeof being a federalis", I can refer lo the doings previous to, and during the late war. The federal party took ground against that War, and; as a party, there never existed a porer band of Patriots; for when tbe note of strife was sounded; they rallied under ihe banner of their Country. ; But pratritic asthey were, I do know that I teas pne of them I Cheering I was denounced in ua measured lerms as one"of the authors of that war, and was held op by the fedeia! papers of the) day, as the marked object of the party. I could name the man who came to me, and a more worthy man never lived, to say that foe Was mistaken in his views of ray policy as Governor of Indiana, when I was char ged by the federalists as uselessly involving the country in an Indian war. He told me that I acted lightly in thai miner, and tbat tbe war was brought on by me as a mailer of necessity (Cries ftafne him, name him) It wa.s Mr. revenues of the Union could only be col lected and disbursed in the rnnt efrrnii way by means of a Bank , and if I was clear ly of opinion that the majority or the peo ple of the United States desired sucb an in stitution, then, and then only would I sign a bill going to charter a Bank. Shouts oj applause I have never regarded the office of Chief Magistrate as conferring nnnn uA old farmer told me the other day, that ho did not believe one of the stories circulated against me, and he would support me, if I were only z democrat Laugliler.) But if I support and sustain democratic principle?, what maltei8 it what I am called ? It mat ters a good deal, said he, you don't belong to the democratic party LaughUr.) Can anything be so ruinous in its tendency to our institutions as this high parly spirit, which looks to the shadow and not the sub stance of things ? Nothing, nothing. Tin running after names, after imaginings, is ominous of dangerous results. In the I Jess ed book we are told that the pretensions of false Christs shall be in future times so spe cious, tbat even the elect will be deceivd, and is it not so now with democracy f The name does not constitute the democrat. It is the vilest imposture ever attempted upon the credulity of the public mind, to array the poor ol tbe country under the name of democrats, against the rich, and style them aristocrats. This is dealing in fables. The natoral antagonist of democracy is not aristocracy. It is monarchy There is no instance on record of a Republic lke ours running into an aristocracy. It can hurry into a pure democracy, and the confidence of that democracy being once obtained by a Marius or a Cesar, by a Bolivar or a Bonaparte, he strides rapidly from the prop fessions of love for the people to the u surpation of their rights, and steps from that, higb eminence to a throne !
