whole power of the goientinent, and on each .of
those occasions they haie been &Wen front office,
covered with shame and ridicule. The measures
of the elder Artists have now scarcely any open
defenders. The administration of his son was the
fruit of a gross'fraud upon the people, which earned
it universal detestation before its commencement.
Its light-house in the sky, and the splendid abortion
of the Panama'mission, made all the world laugh
at Federal folly : while the President's recommen
dation to the members of Congress not to be' "pal
sied by the will of their constituents," exposed 'lto
simple contempt--a contempt agravated geed in
creased by the known fact, that the same President
was writing letters to the Anti-ma Sonic demagogues
in western New. York, to gain their votes, and his
Secretaty was traversing the country ; and making
dinner orations to allay the public indignation. Gen.
Harrison brought Federalism in -on a swell of pop
ular excitement. Like the Bourbones, they had
learned nothing. and forgot nothing during their ex
ile from office. All the exploded humbugs and ob.
solete ideas. of the previous half century, were
gathered together, vamped up with new, - and the
best effort of Federalism was made to force them
ou the country. But the effort to carry these mea
sures exhausted their whole capacity ..itrived the
party into fragments—the administration burst ap
and ended in a great brawl, consisting in mutual
abuse of one Federalist by another. Their leader
knowing that they were incapable of carrying on the
government, cunningly placed the party in the atti
tude of opposition. where it would have nothing
to do but to tind fault and prophesy filth : a busi
ness in which to be unanimouis was ".as ea'y as
j lying,"
‘Vi3 wish our reai'ers to mark carefully one fact
that every Federal administration'has been a. most
ridirufou and contemptible 'failure. Every Fede
ral Congress has been changed into a Democratic
one astsoon as the first Sr. tam carne around.- Eve

Just one year. and no lon . 7rr. 0.1 every . occasion
when Federalism has been weighed. it has been
found wanting. Whenever it has been entrusted
with power, it has abused it. Its leaders have uni
versally been driven from cffice with the brand of
Tu INrir.iat.r.-s seared and , burnt upon their
foreheads.
And this party, which has shown itself so egre.
giously deficient in administrative capacity, is the
same which claims to have •• all the talents,,' as
well as " all the decency!" We admit that there
are talented as well as decent men among them.—

Like the chameleon, it takes its hues from surroun
ding objects, and like Proteus. Changes its shape
to suit circumstances. It is littentlly all things to
all men—with one exception : it has no broad and
general principle of hottest and just government for
those who are in favor of their whole . country. It
tries to conciliate all classes except the parnotic
friends of equal and just laws. and , them it hates
despises, and insults.
How can a party composed of such he:erogene
ous materials, and made of sostuany clashing inte
rests, stick together. While they are out ofrar,
the hatred of better men than themselves' may
term a sufficient bond of union for the leaders, and
honest prejudice against the Democracy may pre-.
vent the rank and tile from deserting. But this re
quires wary walking even in opposition. They
have never dared to proclaim and stand by a gen
eral principle. Their National Conventions have
always skulked away tram the responsibility of set
ting forth their doctrine. Gen. Harrison's commit
tee refused to proclaim any principles for the pub
lic eye. Mr. Clay, by way of being candid, wrote
letters to different quahers, suiting thetn to the per
son or the section they were sent to-- 44 against an
nexation" fur one, and "glad to see it," for anoth
er—protection here and low duties there—to every
separate class that addressed him, a compliment
and a promise.
But this game answers no purpose when Fede
ralism gains the victory. Then comes the day of
reckoning. The Banker ; the Bankrupt, the Manu
facturer, the Interval Improvement mart, the office
seeker, each one of whom thinks the government,
is made only for himself. fall together .by the mini.

When these fatal causes of diiwolution, which
have their existence in the very elements of Fede
ralism—these seeds of death sown thickly through
all its body—are considered in connection with its
total inability to comprehend the political truths,
which the age has developed and proves so plainly
what wonder is it that Federalism has seldom suc.

We present the following- testimonial by way of
showing what Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills cad
do in the cure of Piles. It is from a highly respec
table citizen or Towanda :
• Dr. Wright:—Dear Sir—For the benefit of the
public, and in Jitstice to the efficacy of your Indian
Vegetable PiiiS, I take pleasure in stating that on
two occasions, to wit :—Daring the-suntmer of 1846,
and in the present month; I was severely afflicted
with that truly terrible disease, the Piles, and after
trying in vain several Other re edies.l seas induced
by E. D. Montan ve, your ag es at our place, to try
your Pills. I found immedi e relief in the use of
them. On thefirst occasio , I was in a very bad
situation for several week but after taking two
boxes of your Pills, was e tire!) , well. The la"t
i, (l
occasion was a mere attack, and afer three doses,
viz : two first, three second. and three the third
.time, every symptom was,removed.
