WASHINGTON, January 6, 1041
The Old Federal Party, tometimea called The
Black Cockade, or Alien and Sedition Late, or
Blue Light, or Anti• Her Party—the natural
tueeriton of the Old Tory Party of the Revo*
Inlion.
Dear Sir 1 —It i» becoming a grave and serious
question whether the Old Federal Party, which I
liavo exhibited in its different political phases at ihe
head of this article, evt-r had an actual, nbralute,
mutter of fact existence. Ten yters ago it w as a
common occuirence for this old men of my acquain
tance—men who had scon and felt tho Revolution,
who had been buaien nnd who hnd triumphed under
Jefferson, to point distinctly to tho "Federalists,'
us an extensive, talented, wealthy nnd powerful
association of politicians, the antipodes a* they
were, the drndly and ferocious opponents of the
great Democratic Party «f tho United States. In'
dividual* wore then pointed out, who denied not
the nnmo of Federalist, but who like Judge Burneti
of Ohio, (Gen. Harrison's cnr/fi-lential friend, nd-
mirrrnnd advocate) acknowledged Urn appellations
us truly indinativo of their pnrty principles und pi
dib'Ctiou*. But note it is far otherwise. Who
acknowledges now-a days thnt ho is, or ever has
been n Federalist ? You may question tho most
confirmed Tory of the Revolution, if liny such stir
vivo among you, and he will deny the name with
apparent indignation. If there bo a mnn in your
proud city who was " opposed lo the last tear
•ingle him out, nnd question him ns to Federalism.
He? OI no, ho never wus n Federalist. Cutcii a
man in your streets who wore the black cockade'
who thought, as " Old Tip’’ did, that John Adum*
was n patriot, and who accordingly supported that
Alien nnd Sedition Law President—ask him in 1841
if ho is u Federalist ? Ami bo will not wait 'till
tho cock crow# thrice before ha denies it. The
name of •' Federalist" is scouted from tha earth 1
Why, Daniel Webster, J. Q. Adams nnd John Scr.
gennt will tell you they hnvo no title to the name.—
Like the lust Plteiml of ike gnlnxy, it is a polirical
fraternity now nowhere to be found by that name.—
But thank God, there is a Shibboleth on their
tongue winch ibpy cun nevei conceal. Tito marks
of the heart ore upon them, and however they at
tempt to bedeck thnm*u|vo* in tlio borrowed habili
ments of Republicanism, they constantly betray tho
" inner man” by their unsightly appendage.*, as bis
satanic mqjesty did in his last tour through tho
world—
••His cont won red,and bis breeches were blue,
With-It hole behind, which his tail went through.
They can never hide their tail: It pops through
nt every turn they mnko, In tho shupe of a National
Bank—a high Tariff—Internal Improvement*—as
sumption of State debts, nnd the reception of Abo
IHtufi Petition*. Although these, and many other
signs of iho present times point, with nn unerring
finger, to the old Federal party, disguised as mod
ern H'A»y#, there aro other nnd pu«t occurrences
which nail them to thu counter ns base coin. The
• Inal tear" is n sharp thorn in their sides—it dor s
not stick tn their bnnk, but goes through to their
lieartv Dm lag our last struggle with Gtent lirituin
paity line* were deeply nnd distinctly drawn.—
There wu* no skulking then, except from the ene
my. The Democrats supported thu war, voted
men nnd mpu»ure* to prosecute it vigorously wept
over the reverses uf uur urms, nnd rejoiced In the
victories of thoir countrymen. Tho Federalist* op'
posed the war, the prosecution of the war, and re -
fused, by their voles in Congress, to appropriate
money to feed ami clothe our soldier#, to fill the
ranks of our gallant army, nnd enable the country
to pul forth its energies. They denounced tlio war
nt iniquitous in it* inception, murderous in it* prose,
cution, and thnt it was " not becoming a moral and
religion* people lo rejoice at our Navul victories."
Tbi# federal inntiment you will find in the shape of
a resolution offered, by Mr. Quincy to the Senato of
Mussacbusotia. It wns thoie combatted by Mr,
I luhnea, 11 ft-nrless’nnd eloquent Democrat,who sup
ported iho war with all his ability, ,,nd who after
ward* moved to erase tlio pitiful sentiment from
tlio Journal of that body. In 1814, the darkest pe-
rind of our contest for our national existence, and
our rights or free trade on iho high tea*, Daniel
Webster, then nn aspiring Representative in Con

House or Representatives, \
Monday, Jan. 3d, 1814. J
"Mr. Webster, of N. H.,rnse to offer a resolution
that iho message of tho Executive, received at the
hist session, relative to the repeal of the French de

Committee of Foreign Relations (hereon, he again

neither ibis, or any other business, would be pi

strongly believe,” said Mr. Cnlhoun, "that ontl

of the justice and necessity of the wnr, in which the
Republicans of the House and of the nni ion have

nbovo specimen of Mr. Webster’s patriotism is]
soothing to the Southern Whigs—hit present al
lies—into what a perfect state of repose the follow,
ing must throw them. " January I4ih, 1814," Mr.
Shrffey, (n Virginia Federalist) offered the follow
ing as n rider to the bill introduced by George M.
Troup fur "filling the ranks"—to wit: "that (he
troops to be enlisted shall be limited to the defence
of the territories of tho United Srutes, or the fron*
t ers hereof,nr such part thereof as the President of
tho United States sliull elect nnd determine." vor

United Slates, and to prevent ut from carrying tho
wnr into Africa, for fear of despoiling His Mnje*-|

but 103 Democrats rose up and put them down.
Then como tho question on the passage of Troup'i

When Daniel Webster rode at tha head of thi
Harrison procession last spring, in Baltimore,
flag from thu old Buy Slate wavod over his hem
whit 1 Ids inscription, '* We are now where «p<
have been, and where we ever mean ta be,"
have no doubt of it. What a pleasing retrospect foi
thn Southern Whigs. Thus—Dnniel Webster in t
midst of the Inst war was found in tho Congress
tlio United Stales denouncing the war—refusing I
his vote* to permit u* to invade 11 neighboring bostili
British Province, and refusing to fill tlra rinks
our urmy; and at or about the same time tl
chivalrous Harrison, miffed In soma private feudj

when the country wn* nt its utmost need retreat*]
from the army,nnd throws up his commission! J'or]

his standard bearer t And how could the " stand

Answer that, ye Southern gentlemen who Imve been,
deluded into tho ranks of modern whiggery. Tho
lindis ofd letter will not permit me to mukofurthe r
extracts, at this time, indicative of the extreme fit
ness there is in the proem ellinncu belwuon Mr.
Webster, und tho high toned, generous, patriotic
men of the South. If my loisure serves, I may
do so hercaftor. Upon tho cot redness of tho fore
going extract# you may rely, and if nny one thinks
proper to deny them, not ouly tho Aurora, hut the
files of the National Intelligencer can bo produced
to sustain them.
