Dr. Townsend Dear Sir. I was taken, a little ovir a

physicians to have the quick consumption. I raied !ir,-e
quantities of had matter bad niulit swe.it, Bud sinking
very I'Hsti my doctor slid be could do notliinjf lor tlie. I
went tnlo Ihe hos.itol in hope ol being beuefitteil. but was
pronounced there as ricur.ihle. I was now greatly distress
ed nl tlie lui.its nnd could hurdly breathe; I soo.i became
emaciated and ctpected to die; was confined to niy bad,
and was ob'iged to haic watchers; in li ed I cannot give
you any description that would do justice to my rase. I
was supposed by my friends to lir pa-l recovery ;I had trifil
a great number of remedies, and all seemed lo he to no
purpose. I read of some most extraordinary cures pcr
lo med by your nicdicin anil tn tell you the truth, I sus
jncted there was some humbug in them, liut I was in
duced to try it; I did so, and urn very thankful I did. I
cannot say that 1 am entirely well, but am so tar feeoier.

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

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,

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

ihe free action, and eonseh'i.of th People, j, and
