He was descended from the Irish, a race

Andrew Jackson was the hero of this - War,
and brought it to a glorious termination at
New Orleans, notwithstanding the efforts of
slack Federlism to the contrary. For his
distinguished services ir. this war the Black
Federlists of New England never forgave
him. He furnished another ground of com-

mined the unpardonable sin of defeating
John Quincy Adams, r Nevr England Fed

Thomas Jeffersor. in 1798 when he deteat•

even its own vocabularies for terms to ex-

brought to the grave by the malice of her

emissaries availed themselves of his hos

Black Federalism could invent—and wtat

It was in the latter days of his administra-

secede. It was then that Old Hickory, in
view of the tact that the Constitution of the
United states expressily conferred upon.
Congress !he right and power to levy and
collect tariff duties, gave utterance to the I
sentiment, now so much in vogue with
Black Federalism, "The Federal Union—it

devices, paltry tricks and unprincipled mis

and honest men to promote its evil design.,
Black Federalism has descended so low as
to use this language of the old hero in sup
