WHAT IS A FEDERALISTf Our contemporary of tho Republican seems rn llwr at a lost how to satisfy himself of the real mean ing of the term Federalist. H® approximate* iho truth when. In Friday’s paper, ho say*—" It mean* one who favor* a strong concentration of power in tho Executive.” But that is only part of tho truth- fur the Federalists aim at a concentration of power in tho General Government ns n whole, and not in the Executive Branch alone. Look at their attempt* tn make the Federal Judiciary the arbiter of the ro-erved rights of the Stales. Also nt their attempt* to mako Congress superior to and imh’pendcni of thn power* vested by the Constitution In iho Exeru'ivu. They now aim to secure the Executive chair, that hy blending the thro® grant p over*, tho Legislative, the Executive, end tlto Judlciuty, they may stride over the Constitutional liberties of the people. What difference will U nuke whether Ceiar or Anthony non the Tyrant f Thn Democracy, who nre the people, desire nn mnster. They approve nf the course of the Exocu* five, when ho adheres to thn principles which bore him to tho seat he occupies. A* long ns ho listen* no; to tho deceptive cry of those, who nro Impatient nf the domination of a free nnd jealuut people, io lung will tho Democracy stand by him. Thai there nre a fuw men in the Domoc.rntic ranks who In early life adopted Federal views, wo do not protend to deny, hut the very fact nf their now being found in llin*e rank*, provos that they have texted in the crucible of experience th® princi- plot of the Federalist*, and found too much alloy for their us®. They Imvo, after n trial, abjured them, nnd their nets nnw point thorn out ns opposing nil the con solidating measure* which bnvo been nnd an now tho favorites of tlm Federal Forty. But in this class Martin Van Burkn never wn*, and if, n* mir contemporary threatens, lie will devoto “a separate chapter” to consider “ Mr. Vun Buren'*'ipporitinn to Mr. Mndi«on," nnd will pos. sets himself of all tho facts, ho will find it hard to prove him the associate t>f Harrison Gray Ot io. We will answer the question, put a* nnrcaption. A Federalist now, is on® who ndvnroie* any msa sure tending to concontmto and con olidate power in tin' General Government.

In the Federal ranks there will b® found men too, who In early life professed the principles uf tho De- morratlu faith. They have been gulled hy Federal lenders, nn l made to stray ft om their original prin ciples? or their besetting sin—nm5I/io//,|ias caused them to urn against their brethren, wham thu favor of the people has placed higher in political honor.

Mr. Adams, in his letter to Dutee J. Pearce, of Rhode Island, dated 7th Sept. 1035, used the fol lowing language in reference to the present Whig patty: They have NO HONE9T PRINCIPLF.S to keep them together. .THEIR ONLY CEMENT IS A SYMPATHY OK HATRED TO EVERY MAN OF PURER PRINCIPLES THAN THEM SELVES.” This wo* euiri of tho Whig Party five year* ago, nnd hy one #t)U high in their confidenrn. Whnt principles cement them Mote, lot thetr Con ventions, from tliulof Harrisburg down to tlmt of Macon,—let their premised nddrmso* to Iho Pei*, pie, declaring (or tather concealing) their party creed,—let theli log-cabin speeches abusing men. high in office,—let their sympathy of hatred for Martin Van Burkn, incrcutcd as it is, hy hitpu- ityof principles, answer. Mr. Adams never uttered sn much truth in so small a compass, ns when ho penned tho ubove quo. ration. Bat what care oar antagonists for principles!— Striving, as they nre, for the loaves and fishes, the) link together fur the sake of iho spoils, their motto being th® Wise ant—"a union of the Whigs for the sake of the Union"—alln« spoils.
