South Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri,3 Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, 1 gJ Maine, New Hampshire, and j Pennsylvania J Van Buren’s sum total 81 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.

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. - Ykiur Fellow Citizen, BRUTUS.
