All ilioae wfio were in favor of th ratifieation of ihe present rons'iunioii w re called Ffdf raliat. by tin new set nl Democrats. A Strange was H alien, lo find a prty railing ilieinselveatbe eiriii DHOiorrats, who would ratlierae th roe. eminent severed iut atom, for few nbjertiima wliirli they very properly termed Federaliani, than to rev the rnnattltition ratified and lit gov eminent funned. . Equally strange i it now, lo find a party styling ilicmst Ives the erliite Dem ocrats ot the riumtry. who are advocating Ihe e. rv provision in the ronsiituiinn, which this for mer Deinocriilic pany tn highly condemned a Feilerhb.sin, and for w hieli ihey would rather have seen tlie government ilclroj ed than itliotilil have been ratihed. In tins day llien fore, iln pariv stylirg ihemselves Democrats are for a strong national government, as 1 think I 'hall he ahlo to aliow, or What ia the same thing, are in favor of L'lviiirr io the President, all he ran claim. ak or de-ore, while lhoe whom ihey choose to call Federalists, are fur more power in the hands of the I'eople or of the Slates. The Demoemiic party n they call themselves, orcu l'iiig ihe same gr 'timl, whieh the old Federal pariv ill the ( 'oiivi'iition oct-lipieil, while those now rnll''d I'Vtleralisis are occupving llie same U ron ml which the Democrats then occupied. That llie imme of Democrat has been assumed by a certain party in the coiinirv, more will a. view ol gulling the People inio their Sup port, than of carrying out the true principle which that term would imply, I think can be made very apparent. Popular names are inva1 riahlv ihe resort of those who wish to effect pur poses of. usurpation, (-'.f.zar when Shout lobe rrnwned King of ihe Romans, and for which he lost his life, acted under the plea of Democracy; and B'Miat nr'e, when receiving the crown as Em peror of France, after the King and Q'teen had been beheaded, lo establish a Democratic cnverti ineit', (lone it titi'ler ihe aame plea of Democracy. Ours truly was intruded lo be a Democracy or a Ifeptii lie. and while we so claim it, we should make our pfaeiiro conform lootir profession. Dciiioeru-v, Republicanism, and IVhiggery are sviioiiVHiniis terms, meaning the same thing. It ia trne our government has been made a repre. s ntativeoim tnerelv for convpnieiicy, as II would he impossible for 'he whole People in assemhle titgi-tlipr fur die purposes of legislation. A com munity of People were therefore, thrown into one representation, but still the. Democratic prin ciple whs retained. Demoeraev, means a gov ernment of tltf People. A Republic means a government of the People, whether by themselves or their rcpresenttilivig. it is all llie same. Whiggery means, or bus always been applied to a body ol People tlelemling liberty against pow er, it is therefore the same tiling. All having in view, the s:nne grand object of free government. The word Fi deral meiins a league an agreement, r coiifeileralion, siinl miulit be as harmless as a Democracy or a llepuh'ii-. It daagnr would arise onlv Inun the niea-iire of powers, whiMi the lesigne conferred, and ihey mav be eitherlarge or small. The word Federalist, as used during and since the adoption of ihe Federal Constitution, as I have before obsem-iL. was intended to dislin uih that elas who were in lavor of a strong national government, from those who were in fa. or of strong State governments, who were call ed Republicans or Democrats. 1 .Tlie great question now for the, People to set. tie is. which of the iwo great parlies now divid ing lite ciiiinirv, conform more closely to true Republican i r Democratic pri triples. As I think the' Whig cause lias been much injured, while that of their adversary has been held up by the misapplication and incurred understanding of the terms Federalist and Demo-rat, this subject slid ild he investigated closely, in order that Hie people inighi see and determine, which of the two pnrties is deceiving idem. We must, there fore, go back lo Orn. Jackson, In) bring the ques tion up. As old Ilicknrv was the rallying point then, voting Hickory was ihe rallying point du. ring 1814, when Polk was elected. S he present Polk party iln refore, is nothing more nnr less than the old Jackson pariv. ?inw what did Oeneral Jackson sav in his prorl mint ion, in laying down, as he said, the principle ami form of our govern ment. He said, that the States had formed joint. Iv with each other, a single nation: an unit. Thai although each State elected its own represents lives, it rreatetl t.o material distinction when cho sen ihey weie nil representatives of the United Stales, not representatives ol the particular Slate Trom which ihey came, nor were ihey account ble to the State for any a't done in the perform ance of their legislative fti' Citons, Agnin, he aid, the unity of our political chararu-r' com mcii'-ed with its very existence. Uutlei the Roy al Government we had no -epafate character; our opposition lo its oppression, began as united colonies. We wrre Untied Slates, under the t-'nnl'eilr ration, and the name w perpetuated and the Union rendered more perfect by Ihe Fed eral constitution. In unite of these stages, said he, did We consider ourselves in any other light than as furHiirig one nation. This Is an assertion on the part of Uen. Jackson that ihe State never were separate and distinct sovereignties, which should le "contradicted by every true democrat in the land. Gen. Jackson should hat recollected that when the States entered the convention, ihev went in as free, sovereign an J distinct Plates, which the constitution itself declare tr saying that when ntns States ratified the constitution, it should be binding on the State so ratifying, meaning thai it should not he binding on ill oth. er'fonr whirh. miht remain out, (a there'were thirteen.)

I'hi was hi diKirFrre, and what was his prac tice. II removed tho depositee, which laying aside the veto, wonld have teen ret'JTl hv the People. Rut was not done, becaus a sofjicietu majority crould not be ohtained to overrule the ...... m t sen, if issneii nis tamotir specie circular, ami roniitined it for more thsn a year, to the great injury of the country, knowing si the sain lime that II was against the wishes ol the People. A bill having been passed for its repeal by Congress, by a majority that would has overruled hia vtto but (as ihe Uongress hail not ten days lo run. which Ihe constitution requires in such a esse.) be rhnse to defeat ihe Will of III People, by retaining the bill in his possession, as they re pealed it on the first ofmorrnnlty, ihey had there after by ilia same overruling majority. This shows that his practice conformed with hi theory, a shown tn have been sironfiy Federal. 'Ihe parly now in power, known as the" Polk party in which General McKay figures so largely, are rhargable with all of which Gen. Jackson was guilty, as they still support those principles, by lauding him to the skits. Can they be Demo, crat. who will support such principles or ihe man who avows themf I leave you to answer. Again, the rto power which was one of the strongest Federal measures ingrafted into tlie Federal i-ousttiuiion by the Federal party, and so strongly resisted by the Republican or Democratic p :r(y of that day, is now supported by this same parly, while the Whigs would be willing to see it so mmlifinl as to lessen the power of the exe cutive, and increase that of the People. The veto nower gives Hi the President control over one less than two thirds of the People's Pepresen laitves, and consequently over the People them selves. I bus io suppose tlie Congress was composed nf thre hundred members..--Twu hundred would be two thirds, which is required by the constitution, to overrule llie President. Hut if one hundred and one vote with him, and on hundred and ninety nine against him. slill the on hundred an. I otis would overrule the one hun dred and ninety nine, which is a monstrous differ nee. Can tin he called Dcmocraeyj can the party who support such a measure be called Democrats, while those who are for llie one hun dred and ninety nine to overrule ihe one hundred and one. be called Federalists Fellow ritisens. if ynu were M examine this matter as yon should do, laving aside ail parly feedings, you would see who are deceiving you with false names. You would think with roe that nn man or set of men, who were in favor of defeating the will of such large majority or the People, could be any thing bin Federalists ihemselver. The vet.i power, as used from tieneral Jackson to the present day, ia the cause of all the evils which have hsppeueJ lo the country and requires a little examination. Alexander Hamilton, whom ynu all know lo have been a Federalist, says in the Federalist. pgr 105, that thereto power was given the President, for ihe purpose ol protecting hiineell sgainsi Legislative encroachment, anil to present unwise and factious laws; nor is this nil sa d he, ihe superior weight and influence of the Legislative body in a free Government, and the hazard io the Executive in a tri.tl of strength with thai body, afford a satisfactory security that Ihe negative would generally be employed with great caution, ind that in its e xercoe there would l e mnrr room for a eharg" of timidity than of rashness. A kingof Great Biitain, with all hi train of sov ereign attrihuieS) and with all the influence he re ceives from a thousand sources, would at this day hesitate lo put a negative upon ihe joint resolu tions ol thu two linn! s of Parliament, lie would not fail to exeri the utmost resources of that in fluence, tli strangle a measure disagreeable to him in its progress to the Throne, to avoid being re duced lo the dilemma of permitting it io affect or of risking the displeasure nf the nation hy an op position to the sense of the Legislative body, Nor is it probable, that he would, ultimately ven ture to exert Ins prerogative but in a rase or man ifest propriety or of extreme necessity. All well informed men in that kingdom, will accede to the justness of this remark. A very considerable period ha passed since the uegative of the crown has been exercised. If a msgistraie(-iiil he) so powerful and so well fortified as a lirittsli monarch Would have scruples about the exercise of lh power under consideration, how much greater caution may be reasonably expected in a President of the Unitid Slates, clothed for the short period of four years, with t'le Kxerutive antliority of Government, wholly and purely Republican, lie further said, that il ls evident thete would be greater danger of his not using his power when necessary, tltrn of his using it too often or too much. It will bo een , how mistaken Mr. Hamilton was. The President now uses the veto power without anv fear of the Legislative body or of ihe Nation. That lie uses it loo freqtieixly and Inn much, and in its exercise, has assumed to himself more powers than the king of Great Britain would dare do, ia very evident. 'Khe veto power then is a strong Federal measure, anil has been used by thi President, to the great injury of the country. 'iTh Whigs are desirous that it should be fstrtcted, lliero is no be'ter time than ? the present to do it, for while the Whigs are epposed to it, their oppo nents style themselves Democrats, and .certainly therefore must go for a modification of so vast a power in the hands of the Exeeutrve.V Th Whig propose no amendment of ihe constitution to effect any pnrpose, Unless brought shout by ihe free action, and eonseh'i.of th People, j, and in the ease of the veto, it would only be, to amend a feature in the constitution placed there, br the old Federal party. The constitution provides for its own amendment, pnd at the , first session of Congress after it adoption, Washington liiirw self recommended amendments, , which were don without creating an j mischief, and could be don srim..r....:--V::''''-l - ' fhere certainly ran b po mora necessity, thai the Executive of ihe General Government should b in th posiossitta of sunn-,- po wrT tn. lhai th Gomnor of a State should be, and I think less so, a the oppression and dang arising from ih latter would not b so peal a 'flora tlj former.
