Wo have recently met with onp of tbo most ro. ftiarkable pamphlets that has ovej ’’been issued in 4 this or any other poliliOal canvass in thisscountry.-*- It is seal to prominent Vyiiigs of . this copnty in groat numbers, and !by them thrown broad-caet throughout the community.- Jlr is a’TcrnarkVblo doc. ament,‘and Us circulation is eonclbsivo evidence that tbo seal of our Fodcral friends has io lhia in* stance,'as in many others, outrun their discrction.-- Tbo pamphlet is written by Horace Greelv, tbo well known Whig abolition editor, of the city of Now York, and the especial mouth piece of Wm. H. Seward, the Whig Abolition,Senator in Congress from tho Slate ofNow York. It is entitled “ Why /j am a Whig," “ Reply to on Inquiring friend and ! at tbo end of tho pamphlet is printed in marked ilal-J ice, " Published at tho Tribune office, 154 Nassau I street, New Yorks Price $lO per thousand, 81 25 per hundred, 20 cents per dozen. No copy right.— | Any one at liberty to ro*priot unaltered." j It is a bold rc-Itcratioa of ail tbo old exploded t Federal heresies of the last half century, and tho reason, why, wo presume, permission is given to re. print unaltered, is that Horace was afraid that some of bis political associates might bo disposed to shirk tho issues presented in this remarkable political paper. On page 13 the auihpr -Bays, in something 1 like a summing up of his ergumont,* 1 If I were re quired to characterize the two parlics respectively in the fewest*words, 1 should say,'The Whigs support their parly for tho sake of its measures; tho Demo crats support their measures for the sake of Ilia party." So hero we go. The Whigs nominating General Harrison in 1640, because they thought him avoila ble, and because bo had one time opposed the crea tion of n National Bsnk—nominating Gen. Taylor In 1848 because ho had no political principles at all and denied having any, or belonging to any parly-—and lastly nominating Gen. Scott, and at tempting to divert the attention of the people by gewgaws, and jlm-cracks, for fear their odious doc trines may become prominently a matter of discussion when out comes Horace Grcoly and makes them acknowledge the corn, puts the saddle on Iho right horse, avows that the “Whigs support their parly for the sake of its measures,’* and then goes full split fur a national Dink and all the other exploded Federal humbugs, with iho same non-chain nee that ho “ spit upon the Baltimore platform ” adopted by iho Whig National Convention. And ho not only entertains tlioso views, but ho prints them, at “ 910 '• per thousand”—and they aro sent on to the Whigs in largo bundles and circulated all over the country. Who “ pays the piper?” Wo presume, it is done b T dioto lordly manufacturers and purse proud 6ank men, who are determined that if they triumph, their success shall bo no barren victory. They ate guaad iog againal being Tylcrizcd. In order that our readers may soo that wo do not overestimate the boldness of this pamphlet, wo quote a single paragraph. The amber after instituting an unfavourable comparison, as he supposes, between the Democracy of (ins country and in Europn.whoro Communism and Fourierism, &,c., political gourds of a night growth are common, triumphantly ex. claims, “Who docs not see that tho fundamental ideas of our party Democracy are as radically hos tile (o Gommon Schools, and to (ax sustained Com mon Roads, as to a protective Tariff, a National Bank, or to the National improvement of our Rivers and harbors,if it dare but follow where its principles load ?" Forgetting that our government Is a constitutional one, ho and the Federal party, would go for consoli* i flAltflU. dLonce, break over all constitutional barriers. 1 of tbo rights of the stales and of the people ; and after all the safe-guards of state sovereignly hsd been prostrated- the vbolil ion of slavery in the stales by the general government, I lie charter of a National Bank , establishment of a high protective tariff,the dislribu. lion of the proceeds of the sales of iho public lands among lire stales, the rearing of a vast system of internal improvements by the central power, (for the power of Iho Federal Government would then be supreme, as omnipolontas the power of lire British Parliament,) would follow os a natural and necessary consequence. And this is the system into which our Whig abolition friends would lead us, bound hand and fool—a system in Europe which has always led to anarchy ur despotism—but chiefly to despotism, and wo venture to predict will ahoaya load to dcs- * polism. And yet Horace Grooloy eulogises this 1 system of central power, through which ho can soo, I 1 though perhaps as afar off, the abolition of slavery. 1 > lla complain# of tho mottos of tbo American Domoo • raoy. Ho says they aro “significant.” Such as • “The world is governed 100 much.” “The best « government is (hat which governs least.” “Lot us I alone,” A.c. Ho then continues, "They (these mol /(oos) are nowhere recognised by tho Democracy of I Eifropc, which plainly contemplates tho institution lof Government, more persuasive and officiant than tho world hasyolknown. Free Education, Insurance by the Stale, tho Right to Labor,—these are but a part of tho ideas of liko tendency, which tho European Democracy stands ready to realize whenever it shall have tho power. Its policy is constructive, creative, and bcnificont, while Dial of our solf-slylcd ‘Democracy' is repulsive, chilling, nugatory,—a bundle of negations, restrictions, and abjurations. Can there bo a rational doubt as to which of these is true Democracy 7” No, there oannol, wo say. And the difference is, that between Constitutional freedom and blind clianoo, wild anarchy, end cruel despotism— that between tho tenets of the philosophic Jefferson, and (lie crazy ravings of Anacharsis Klopls. Horace Grcoly, and yo other Federalists, go away with your insidious Federal and Abolition doctrines, and lot us follow in tho footsteps of tho fathers of (ho revolu tion, of the Union as it was framed in a spirit of wise compromise.
