Having stood in the;rauks of fed eralism from the Urn? of Washington to the vresent haviner. for- such a season, borne the full brunt of the democratic storm having in the darkest periods f political persecution, confronted every ' daoser, and resisted every temtation, they seem like livins tangible n- tires on the policy of the crovemment.

While this system of piirse ration is roinc onrth door of honor and con fidence are barred and bolted against every fed eralist, who has the hardihood and indrpen dence to avow his principles if he enjoys pub lie office, he is contemptuously discarded, and this system of exclusion comes in aid of the scandal and calumnies -poured in such prodi ffality from the presses in the service of demo craey. The federalists are thus designedly marked out by the cabinet as suspected men. While Porcupine raves and ransacks Jus New gate Calendar for terms of abuse against the Federal party President Madison plays his part in this solemn farce, and, excludes these men from public office. They aVe both joined in this nefarious league, the object of which is the complete extermination of the federalists as a party.

How do these men notice the machinery now at work ! To put every engine in requisition for the dissemination of scandal against the federal party to have a press groaning with the v. eijrht of calumny un der two. distinct hemispheres, forms n part of the policy of the cabinet.

If we descend from these general and nation al traits, from the universal discontent caused by overwhelming taxes and mortifying defeat, to more partial sources of discord, we find no thing more consolatory in the scene. The mili tary, and nearly all Franco was military, are" in the most distressed situation, fallen from an exalted ruiik, where their vanity, cupidity and ambition were gratified, to nothing, with no re source but in occupations they despise. 1 he Savaus who have exercised so potent an influence in the revolution, are in disgrace.
