Blank Checks for sale at this office From the Old Dominion. The Democracy The Federal party have, from the founda tion of the Government, and the arrangement of its fiscal affairs by Hamilton, sought to es tablish a great, irresponsible "PArEH power" iu tins country. We give, therefore, to our readers the followiuji extract that the Federalists may be known, let (hem as sume the garb even of an angel of light, lor we maintain, that every man, let his party distinctions be what thev may, who sustains the present banking system is a Federalist, and should turn pale when he dares, like Brockenbrough, and others, toclaim the name of Democrat. The people" want no such sup porters; and they are determined to purify the political atmosphere. We stand or fall, "sink or swim," ou the principles laid down in Mr. Van Buren's last message to the Congress of the United States. Who goes with us? Party names. The IVederahsts have at last concluded that "this term 'Loco Foco' is at best an unmeaning term," and have avow ed their determination hereafter to call tne Democrats the '-'spoils party." So says the Nashville Banner. Well, let them do it. From the first organization of parties in this country, the Federalists have pursued this same course. They have, as occasion re quired, stolen our name, and applied to us epithets which they considered the most odi ous. Let us examine a few of these parly names, and see how parties have stood at various times. During the war of the Revolution the an cestors of the present Democratic party were stigmatized as Whies, while the ancestors of the Federalists of the present day called them selves Tories. After the great struggle for independence had been successfully concluded, and our country took her rank among the nations of the world, the old Tories, many of whom had previously emigrated to Nova Scotia, and were permitted to return, applied to us the name of Jacobins, while they called them selves Federalists. Next, as the most odious name in the whole Tory vocabulary, we were called Democrats by them. Afterwards ihey called us Republicans; by a strange transition they applied to us their own old name of To ry: afterwards wo were Loco Focos; and now, according to the Banner, we are to be called the "Sjjoils party." Notwithstanding all these party nicknames, we have steadily adhered to the name of Democrats and after having rendered it honorable after having defeated the old Tories in more than a thou sand pitched battles under its flag and after having made it the rallying cry for the friends of Liberty throughout the land we do not now intend to abandon it. Now let us look at the other side. The old Tories who leturned from Nova Scotia, joining with a few of the old Tories who re mained at home, adopted the name of Feder alists. Having rendered the name unpopu lar by their support of the elder Adams and his Alien and Sedition laws, they next called themselves Republicans; then, (passing over many alterations,) we find them National Republicans next Whigs! Like a horse thief or slave-stealer who wishes to escape de tection, the old Tories adopt a new name at every stoppingplace, but like all other knaves, they are lnvariaury ueiecieu. So far as this paper is i concerned, it will hereafter recognize but two names Demo crats and Federalists. . We believe this to be the only true distinction; and while we x will not adopt any name which the Federalists may choose to call the party to which we be long, we shall also protest against their adop ting names to whicli they have no legitimate right. The Scripture text that "Satan can transform himself into an angel of light," was never intended to be applied to the Fed eralists; for they cannot do They are never right in politics. Many of them think that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet;" but there is a better adage to be applied to them: "Call it what you will, Rhubarb will be Rhubarb still." Extracts from the Addreu of the Democrat! Convention or Ohio, (More than 1,000 Delegates present.) "In the contest which is now before us, we are presented with a candidate for the Pre sidency, who now occupies the Chair of State. True, he has not been re-nominated by a National Convention; but the universal sen timent of the Democratic party is known to be in his 'favor; and no one else is thought of as a candidate. We support the re-election of Mr. Van Buren, because we are sat isfied with the manner in which he has dis charged the high duties devolving upon him as the Chief Magistrate of the Republic. In a long life of public service, he has"' shown himself to be an eminent and accomplished statesman, possessed of all the high qualities which fit him for the first office in the gift of his countrymen. He is opposed to the crea tion of a National Bank, and in favor of an Independent Treasury, under the control of the people's Representatives in Congress. He is opposed to a high Tariff for protection; to a system of Internal Improvement by the General Government. He is of the State Right3 school; the disciple of Jefferson and Jackson; in favor of a strict construction of the Constitution, and opposed to theexerci.se' of powers not clearly granted to Hie Federal authorities. He is the advocate of a chean nd simnle ffovernment. wisely ami tr finrtmi. cally administered; securing to all, the rights wnicn Deiong to mem, and resisting the ef forts of those who seek by monopolies and corporate authority, to entrench upon pub lic liberty. Lastly, he 3 the avowed advo cate of Bank reform, and of subjecting the monied institutions of the country to atho rough scrutiny and an effectual supervision and control of public opinion, acting through the constituted agents of tbe people. To sech a man, we are prepared to give our hearty support; and we solemnly pledge our selves to use every honorable means to se cure his re-election. "The Federal party have nominated Gen eral Harrison, ea their - candidate for the Presidential honors. Without pausing ty' inquire, whether this man may or may not, in common with many other prominent indi viduals, have done the country some service, we oppose his election for reasons which we deem conclusive. He is opposed, so far as his principles are known, to all the leading doctrines which distinguish our party. He i3 favorable to a great National Bank char tered by Congress; he will interpose no veto upon bills imposing high protective Tariffs, or appropriating money to Internal Improve ments. He has been against us in all our contests since 1824; Ihe supporter of John Q Adams' administration, and the active op ponent of General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren. lie has acted throughout with the Fjederal Bank party, against all reforms of the paper currency proposed by the Demo cratic school and sustained by the people. He is opposed to the doctriues of the St3te Rirrhts party: and according io his nwn clarations, stands ready to sigu bills, if pass ,i ..." eu oy congress, wiucli are not authorized by the terms of the Federal Constitution; and can only be passed by a loose, latiludi narian construction of that instrument, which would be destructive In all mir rlrrbtt! IT.. is the candidate of all the discordant fart inn opposed to the present Administration, and avowedly nominated, as an available candi date, and not on account of his qualifications, or oecause lie was the first choice of those who use his name to obtain nnn.'3r tt j. sustained by that branch of the Federal par ty called Whigs, who are led on by Daniel AVebster and Henry Clay. Another faction known as political Anti-M.n Sons, arp min 1 1 - clamours in his support; and in all their ap peals to tne nonest prejudices oi men, against secret societies, they present this man as their favorite candidate. The Abolitionists, another faction, more odious thau any one which has hitherto appeared in this country, combining as they do, religious fanaticism with political zeal, and making open war up on tne sacrea constitution 1 rained by onr fa thers, claim General Harrison as peeuliarlv their candidate. Indeed, thev onenlv boast that thev drove Mr. Cla-o- frnm ibo fid,! cause he was a slave-holder, and forced the Whigs to nominate Ueneral Harrison. The faction has organized and openly proclaimed, mat it will support no one for office who does not pledge himself in favor of their creed. If they support General Harrison and are true to their own pledo-ps. iht q - j -"-""7 have assurances from him, which are satis- lactory. ihey make war upon slavery in the District of Columbia, and in nllthe Sfaa of the Union.
