We should be glad to see some calcula
tion made by the Van Buren party, based
upon as good grounds as the above, which
will show that a majority of the electoral
votes will be given to their candidate
Democracy.
It is a fundamental principle, in a system
of government like ours, that all power is
derived from the people ; and that their
rulers are only their servants. It is this
principle that makes our government a re
publican democracy, and every American
citizen is in the strictest sense ol the term,
a democrat.
But in the earliest daysof this Republic,
great divisions of party took place—such
must happen in every republic. One of
these two divisions, and that which even
tually conquered their opponents by the
election of Jefferson, styled themselves De
mocrats ; not because the others were not
believers in the great fundamental demo
cratic principle, but because their doctrines
were nearer allied to the spirit of a pure
democracy than those of the Federalists,
as the other party was called. They differ
ed in this, that the latter thought it neces
sary to streniithen as much as possible the
Federal Government—to make it power
ful and splendid—anarch of which, the
Executive Department should be the key
stone, binding the members of the confede
racy together indissolubly, and making
them dependent on it for support and pro
tection. The Democrats, on the contrary,
contended, that the largest amount of
power should be left in the hands of the
people, and of the several States ; that the
General Government was but the creature
of the States; that it possessed only limited
delegated powers ; and they claimed the
right to shut it within its defined bounda
ries—and to say to it, “ Thus fur shalt
thou come, but no farther.”
It is seen, then, that the real point ofcon
tendon lay between the Federal Govern
ment and the people—the one striving to
engross power; the other defending their
-constitutional privileges, and the rights of
their States. And it would have seemed
to the men of those days very singular, if,
{as has happened in later limes,) the fede
ral office-holders, and their supporters, had
assumed to themselves the name of Demo
crats, and had said to the remainder of the
people, “ You are the Federalists.” The
truth is, that under grasping and dishonest
Administrations, those in power will always
be Federalists—no matter by what name
they are known when they assume the
reins.
Mr. Van Buren, and his party, have
voted themselves the only pure Democrats,
and have branded their opponents with the
appellation of Federalists; which has be
come, from ihe defeat of that party, and
their erroneous doctrines, a political stig
ma and reproach. Their motives for thus
assuming a designation not justly belonging
to them, arc betrayed by Mr. Van Buren,
in a late production of his ; they are, that
the name “ is considered an essential
passport to popularity and success.”
Waving all the evidence, conclusively,!
showing that. Mr. Van Buren, and his
party leaders, were of the old Federalists,
the most satisfactory of which proof is, Van
Buren’s recorded vote with them on those
questions which Mr. Jefferson considered
tests of party, we will examine how fur
the preceding and present Administrations
(professing the same principles,) show their
democracy by their acts.
The usurpations of General Jackson
were of a character so gross, that the De
mocrats of the old school rose up to resist
them in full vigor. Under the name, in the
South, of the State Rights Party, they
battled fearlessly, arid in a great measure
successfully ; the difficulty,when brought to
the verge of a civil war, was assuaged by
a compromise, by which they yielded no
thing of principle. Neither defeated, nor
dismayed, they continued to watch their
adversary jealously, until he abdicated the
presidential chair in favor of his successor;
then, indeed, their vigilance seemed to re
lax. -They have suffered their highest
public servant to steal power from the peo
ple insidiously, which his predecessor at
tempted to do boldly ; and Martin Van
Buren has nt this moment more power
concentrated in himself, ihan any of the
-former Presidents in their palmiest and
most popular days. We will attempt to
show up some of the measures by which
he has done, and is still attempting to do
this ; and, in the first place, of the “ great
measure of deliverance and liberty.”
General Jackson (a political Don Quix
ote,) raised a popular cry against the
United States Bank, and demolished it;
and his successor has mounted high to
wards power upon its ruins. Os the utility
or constitutionality of that institution, we
will not now speak ; the best argument for
the first, is found in thecommercial distress,
and financial derangement of the country,
since its extinction ; and as to the last, we
will only say, that wiser men than General
Jackson or Martin Van Buren, or any of
their supporters, have differed. In its
place, they have supplied a nondescript
mongrel establishment—half-paper, hall
coin—issuing bills for which less warrant
can be found in the Constitution, than even
for a Sub-Treasury. The design of this
new scheme cannot he mistaken ; bv it the
keys of the Nation’s Treasury are com
pletely in the hands of the President and
his minions—and that they are not deserv
ing of the trust, experience has shown. By
it the patronage of the Executive, already
too great, is largely increased —the ap
pointment of the officers, to whom the trea
sure is given, is in the President’s hands:
they are the creatures of his power, and
will be the submissive servants of his will.
By it the fortunate holders of office will
have a distinction, better, far more profit,
able, than the titles of nobility in monar
chical countries ; for in none do the nobi
lity have a better currency than that af
forded to the people.
We cannot discuss this scheme now at
greater length. Sufficient has been said
to show its eminently federal features—and
it certainly should have been enough to
have alarmed nil true Democrats—that
Mr. Van Buren, in planning this scheme,
avowedly took pattern from the kingdoms
of Europe, In which the sovereign has the
most entire control over the currency ; and
he has even not disdained to look for ex
ample to the most absolute and tyrannical
monarchies of the earth. Was this demo
cratic in a President legislating for a free
people ?
We shall hereafter examine the federal
ism of some of the other favorite measures
of this Administration ; and until the Vur
Buren party can show some better title to
the appellation of Democratic Republican,
we must be permitted to call them federal
ists —as supporters of the Federal Govern
ment, and its ultra-federal measures. We
cannot allow them unresisted to filch from
the Stale Rights party their proper desig
nation ; for their bold assumption of it
may induce some to believe it theirs.
Perjury.
Nothing can better prove the despera
tion to which the Vanites are driven, than
the dishonorable, and even criminal means
to which they resort, to uphold their fall
ing cause. To support the assertion, that
General Harrison was an abolitionist, they
some time since procured an affidavit of a
vagabond, named Brown, wfio swore that
he had heard General garrison declare
himself an abolitionist^in a public com
pany. This assertion of Brown has been
refuted : Harrison kfinself pronounces it an
abominable lalsorfood—and we believe no
Van Buren papier, with the least preten
sions to decency, now asserts its truth.
They lyve lately, in attempting to prove
the charge of federalism against the people’s
candidate, published another affidavit of a
MryTrice, who deposed, that, in 1800, he
Sajv General Harrison (who, he says, was
men addressing a young lady, to whom he
jivas afterwards married,) wearing a black
Cockade in his hat, as a badge of his fede
iralism. If this Price had consulted history,
he would have found that General Harri
son was married to his present wife in
1795; but, to put the matter entirely at
rest, General Taylor, and several other
respectable gentlemen, who have known
Generul Harrison foe forty or more years,
have stepped forward and made declare
lions upon oath, that he was a republican
of the Jeffersonian school; and of their
utter disbelief of tlie assertions of Price.
00~ Lieutenant Geo. M. Hooe, against
whom negro witnesses were permitted to
testify, has been suspended from duty for
two years, on half-pay. His crime was,
disrespect to his superior officer. Com
modore Elliott, convicted of cruelly and il
legally whipping free white men, during
his term ofsuspension, has been allowed by
the President his full pay. The first is
condemned to starve with his family, upon
a miserable pittance; the other, because
he is a favorite, and a vile sycophant of
the Administration, is allowed to play the
gentleman on the people’s money ; the full
sentence of the court martial being miti
gated by the President.
The results of the late elections
must be supremely gratifying to the friends
of Harrison and Reform. The States of
Kentucky , and North Carolina have de
clared, by over-whelming majorities, that
the charge of abolitionism against the old
hero, is false ; and Indiana has repelled
with indignation the slander about selling
white men for debt!! Don’t the Whig
guns from these States, frighten your
babies, Amos? What new libel will you
get up next ?
05“* Who are the “ British Whigs?”
Many revolutionary soldiers—Whigs in
1770, and Whigs in 1840—attended the
Macon Convention. One hundred vete
rans of Washington’s army were present
at the Vermont Whig State Convention ;
and nine attended at the great barbecue
lately given on the battle-ground at Con
cord, Mass.—the scene of tbeir former
exploits.
Who are the Democrats? Four out
of five of the Van Buren candidates for
Congress in New Hampshire, were old
Federalists.
(ff” We publish the preamble and reso
lutions of the Anti-Van Buren party at the
Macon Convention. We ask the careful
attention of our readers to them, as they
are declaratory of the principles of our
parly, and of some of the causes of our op
position to Van Buren.
We heard a gentleman, formerly
an advocate of Mr Van Buren, (speaking of
the President’s late epistle to the Virginia
questioning committee,) remark, thatifany
other signature had been appended to the
document he could believe it, but he could
now credit noibing coming from his pen.
Such is the faithlessness and duplicity of
Van that his name has become a bye
word to signify the utmost depth of perfidy
and chicanery. “To Van Burenise,” will
soon be as common a term for trickery, as
“ To Swartwout” is for theft. No man has
greater occasion than Van to use the
prayer of Falstaff’s fat knight, “ Would
to God, I knew where a commodity of good
names was to be bought.”
(jy* We shall in a week or two, present
the “ NEWS AND GAZETTE” to its
readers much improved in appearance. A
press and type, wholly new, have been
purchased ; and no pains shall be spared,
by Publisher or Editor, to render the
paper interesting.
We hope our exertions to please will
merit the approbation, and call forth the
exertions of our patrons in our behalf.

The (.'riMs,
The present crisis in our public affairs
demands of every man to do his duly. We
behold a mighty people contending for
their dearest rights, against vicious and
corrupt rulers, who have ruined their
prosperity, betrayed their confidence, and
used the power and patronage entrusted to
them lor the public welfare, in subsidizing
the press, and bribing public servants to
deceive an honest and confiding people, J
whom they have betrayed. Then let ev
ery patriot of all parties come to the res- j
cue of his country; we know that all I
such will be villified and abused, de- !
nounced as traitors, liars, and every false
and foul epithet will he applied to them,
which may be at the command of a fran
tic, profligate, and (thank God) expiring
dynasty. But thetrue friend of’his coun
try and his race will hazard all this, and
a thousand times more, to protect, defend
and transmit to posterity, those glorious
institutions which were bequeathed us by j
our fathers. The sacred manes of our i
illustrious and venerated revolutionary
lathers are now imploring us to rescue
their conduct, patriotism and good names
from the brutal attacks even of the Chief
Magistrate of the Republic. Let free
men then strike for the honor of their re
volutionary sires, their sacred altars and
the worship of the living God. They
are all in danger; they are the great bul
warks of our social system, of popu
lar rights; they oppose a mighty bar
rier to the mad ambition and mercenary
schemes of the imbecile and wicked dy
nasty under whose disastrous rule the
country is now groaning; their destruc
tion is therefore decreed.
Mr. Van B uren in a late letter address
ed to a committee of his party in Ken
tucky, dated 4th July, 1840, uses the
following language : “I am most happy
to inform you, gentlemen, that I have
this day signed a bill for the establishment
of an Independent Treasury, a measure
of which you speak in decided commen
dation. By this measure an important
branch of our national concerns after a
departure of nearly half a century, will
he brought back to the letter as well as
the obvious spirit of the Constitution. —
The system now superseded, was in fact,
one of those, early measures devised by the
friends and advocates of privileged orders
for the purpose of perverting the Govern
ment from its pure principles anil legiti
mate objects, vesting all power in the
hands of a few, and enabling them to
profited the expense of the many!’
“ The system now superseded” was
the depositing the public money in banks;
a system which was“devised” and adop
ted by our Revolutionary fathers, and
sanctioned by George Washington, in
.791, and which has continued to be
practised from that time until the 4th of
July, 1840. Mr. Van Buren says it
was against “the letter as well as the ob
vious spirit of the Constitution.” If'he
tells the truth, Washington and the oth
er patriots of the revolution in the third
year of that Constitution, which they
themselves had made, violated “its let
ter and obvious spirit;” and all other
public men who have been appointed by
the people to administer their Govern
ment from 1791, down to the pure and
immaculate Martin! have done the same
thing, including even the “honest and
intripid Jackson,” who devise and car
ried out the Deposite Bank System.—
Freemen of Georgia! are you prepared
to endorse this slander upon the memo
ries of Washington and your revolution
ary fathers ?
Did they sanction,under the solemn ob
ligations of anoath.asystem “devised by
the friends and advocates of privileged
orders, for the purpose of” perverting the
Government from its pure principles and
legitimate objects, vesting all power in
the hands of a few, enabling them to
profit at the expense of the many ?”
Were George Washington, the father of
his country, and his immortal compatri
ots either the ignorant or perjured ene
mies of the liberties, happiness and con
stitution of their countrymen whom they
had so gloriously defended with their
treasure, their toil, and their blood?
Mr. Van Buren’s charge is a wicked im
pious falsehood. Every patriot heart in
the nation will proclaim it such; let every
honest voter then rescue the memories of
our patriot dead from the blot of so foul
a calumny, by casting his ballot against
Mr. Van Buren, who lias had the base
ness to utter such a sentiment.
We have seen the Chief Magistrate of
the nation attempting to desecrate the
graves and blacken the memories of our
departed heroes and patriots. I shall
proceed to show that some of his parti
zans enjoying his confidence and feeding
upon his bounty, are proclaiming doc
trines, utterly subversive of private vir
tue and our social system, and at war
with the liberties and happiness, present
and eternal, of our people. Doctrines
which are avowedly intended to sap the
very foundations of the Christian reli
gion ; deprive thousands of our best and
most virtuous countrymen of their great
est comfort and solace here, and their
only hope beyond the grave. Doctrines
which prove them to be enemies of the
human race, and deserving of the execra
tion of all mankind.
The Boston Quarterly Review,
which is the organ of this nicknamed
Democratic party in New England,
edited by an office-holder under Mr. Van
Buren, and whose principles are endor
sed by some of the most able arid influ
ential of the administration journals, has
vamped up and revived the odious and
dissolute system of the profligate God
win, and of the more infamous Robert
Dale Owen and Fanny Wright. It de
clares that the Christian churches of all
denominations and their ministers, ought
to he abolished; that their existence is
inconsistent with equality. That “ the
word of’God never drops from the lips
of a priest,” Catholic or Protestant.—
That the honest and industrious citizen
who acquires property by industry and
economy, shall not possess the power of
appointing who shall enjoy it after his
death; that after his death, his hard ear
nings shall be confiscated to the Stale,
j “no child of his inheriting it.” That the
endearing and virtuous relation of mar
riage ought to lie abolished, and an in
! discriminate and brutal lust substituted
lin its stead. It is true that these vicious
[ and demoralizing principles are scarcely
| fit to be discussed in the public press —
j hut as they are put forth and advocated
by the organs of the administration, the
pure and virtuous portion of the com
munity ought to know it. Such are the
principles and pretences of a large por
tion of this corrupt dynasty. Such were
the principles, which during the French
| revolution, maddened and demented the
French nation, which swept away her
altars, and the temples and worship of
the living God, and substituted in their
place, the worship of a harlot, under
the captivating name of the “ goddess of
reason.” These are the principles main
tained by some of the leading organs of
a party, some of whom with a reckless
disregard of truth, equalled only by their
cool impudence, have the effrontery to
charge the supporters of the patriot
Harrison with emcouraging drunkenness
and debauchery ! But are these senti
ments confined to their organs in Boston,
New York, & Washington City ? No.
A writer in that obscene and mendacious
organ of this party in our own State,
called the “Macon Telegraph,” only a
few days since, attempted to bring down
the public odium upon the ministers of
the gospel, because he states that “nine
out often” of them were Harrison men.
The country has reason to rejoice in the
fact which he states. It is what the peo
side of social virtue and popular liberty,
pie had a right to expect, to find their re
ligious teachers, in this contest on the
against infidelity, corruption of public
manners and morals, and a rotten, prof
ligate and mercenary faction. Again, let
me exhort you, fellow citizens, to a
wake ! Strike for the sacred memories
of your ancestors, your altars, your
God, and your country. This odious
faction fearing an investigation into the
acts and deeds of their master and his
servants, are constantly using their ut
most exertions to prevent their honest,
but deluded followers, from attending
free discussion on public affairs, least
they may learn the truth. They vainly
hope to quiet them at least, till after the
election, by a bold and impudent denial
• of the truth of every flagitious act, char
ged and proven upon their corrupt dy
nasty. Look to it, let every good citi
zen devote a month, a week or a day to
his country, inform himself, let the peo-
I pie have the truth, and all will be well.
