The New Hampshire Gazette

The editor of the New-York Evening Post and of the Centinel, are considerably chagrined at Squire Christie's calling the opposition to the government and the war by their right name, viz. "the federal faction." They say, by way of warding off that "unkindest cut of all," that "had they approved of the war, and lent their cordial heart and hand to have carried it on, Squire Christie's boasted Canada would hardly have opposed a barrier to our arms. We had only to have marched to their shores, and they would have been ours."

Mr. Otis & Co. will hardly thank these editors for a confession that places them and the party of which they were trumpeters in not the most enviable situation. That the Canadian historian is right and that he has given the right name to the disturbers of our peace, and the prolongers of the war, no man can doubt. It is a well known truth, that the "federal faction" is despised in England and Canada, as much as they are execrated in the United States. There is but one mode by which any party can, or ought to acquire influence: and that is by adhering to their country. When they desert this standard, they are viewed with suspicion and contempt even by the enemies of their country. Thus during the late war, the British uniformly evinc ed a higher degree of respect for the republicans, their declared and open enemies, than for the federalists.—Bost. Pat.
