Those oldon 1 i nit shave died so fast sway, or have receded so out of sight bcheid the throng of important. public matter, that crowded the succeeding years, that mistakes will sometimes happen when writing of t!ie times which pavd only thirty or forty years ac;o. The parties of which Cato writes, did 'V? un'giiiffc during the Washington administration, but before it. Soon n the Convention rose from forming that d'nTti iilt work of compromise, between the seycral states, which w as then called the Ftdtral Constitution, all those who then uracil to have it adopted liit and amended afterwards called themselves Federalist. The Republicans strongly opposed and urged that it should be first amended and afterwards adopted with their certain amendments. It is true that the Federalists at first branded their opponents with the name of anti-federalists, a name the Republicans never liked, they icing ahvavs friends to the confederation of the several states, and to the Federal Constitution too, providing their proposed amendments were adopted therenit!); this was done soon afterwards and the name cf anti-federalist could be no longer attached to them. In each of these patties there were then undoubtedly, some of the best men that were, at that time in the human faroily, witness Gen. Washington, Fuirkk IL hty, Jur.ir M.inison and many others in Viigir.in, and so we nii-lit enumerate over all the st-ites Ikit the Federalists, having taken their nunc, and proud of their Hiccess in getting the Federal Constitution lir-t adopted and afterwards cuirnded, still retained i!, and those a .nong them that had much tincture of vanity, boasted how much their party liad done for (heir country in saving it from divisions and seperad'ons of the state?, ice. kc. as misfit have happened had the work of the Convention been thrown into chaos again while the respublicos' or Republicans, ever waichful of their public affairs, and no less proud of their name have still retained it and probably always will; some of them too, were willing to boast of th ir snoo -s in obtaining the proper amendments to the the Federal Constitution.

Third lhit When the horses were brought up f.f this heat, a jocky named Taylor, known for ir.dny jears on the southern courses, lor his great success, and whose skill was acknowledged tobe inferior to no one, made li s appearanc", when it was announced that he would ride Henry the third heat instead of tlu boy who h:.d rode him the two former. The course once more cleared, off they went, I'u; dy taking the lead and keeping it to the end of the race, came in about three lengths ahead of his antagonist. The air was now rent with shouts of ecstacy, ftotn the New Yorkers, and the puss around the judges' stnd for a short time was so great that nothing ronld oven ome it. The whole course vas blocked up in one solid mass of rr.en, ten thousand deep leaving no ground to bring the Aorses to the stand so that the riders could be tlismounted and weighed. Order, however w.,s at length restored, the riders were weighed, eery thing found right, and Eclipse pronounced the victor. lie was then marched off the field to the popular air of " See, the coi quera g hero romes." Thus has ended ti e grearest race that ever was run iathis country. 'I he result has shown that the chal lcngi- my be tgain fearlessly repeated " l.tvif Island Eckpsr aguimt the r.'orld." We hope, however, Mr. Van Kanst will never suffer him to run again, but let the country have the benefit of his stock. He has now proved himself, beyond all cavil, tobe a horse of speed and bottom unequalled in this country, ar pcrhpr. in any other at this time. TiTie of running ihe third and last heat, 8 minutes 2-1 seconds. Thus the event has thown that the opinion of the Northern sportsmen is better than that of the ."southern ; tha? size and bone are essential to s'ret g h, a d cught to be taken into cakulti'ion ; rtnd supposing blood and bottom to he equal, must always win. It has been, th f re ore, th? object of northern sportsmen, ever since (lovernor Jay first recom Tnf-rde'i it, to ensure these qualities by fe-qui.-ii g eieater weights than are carried at the Sowh.. The natural consequence is a lot-f.1 of large, strotig, and serviceable horses. We hop? they will not deviate from this wise Course. If h judged there werr , upwards of fifty t' ousaac! spectators on the field, and it is with gr-at satisfaction that we.add, that as far as we can learn, no tenons accident occurred to mar the p'easure of the da.

It wa, ;'.() be on f.ir to d sruiss this subject without bear,n'- testimony to the highly genilerr aniy de porin.cnt of our southern competitors, and to say that they have certaiuly evinced sound judgment in their selection of a horse to ma-.ch Eclipse. Ihe time of running ihe three heats, shorter than was ever hi'.! evrto done in rhe U.S. by manv seconds, is sufi-K-ie'ir to show, that the ho-.-,e on whioh they placed their lmpes, is a st ptiior a ; well as a beautiful wmmal. And when it is taken into calculation that he is not aciodly 4 years old until the second week in next imon li it is r. more than fair to conclude that when he becomes an aged horse he will prove the second Eclipse of America. It should fx- remembered that bv the rules of the Jocky Club, the weights carried on the Northern courses are much greater than on iheSomhern; in consequence Henry was bliged to carry yesterdav cght pounds more hanwh".nhe won the laurel, a few davs once, at the New Mark' t Course, Petersburg. The we-gh's carried by each horse were Echpse, 12G pounds Henry, 10.?. We think it ptob-ble that had the sportsmen of the north been made acqmdnfed with the very extraordinary spo-'d ot' ilrZHRv, or tho'ie otthe soi! with the bottom and speed ol Ec.MPse, neither would have shown 'hat degree ot cnufuh nce which both evidently did before the race commenced, and which led to a scene o' bet'iior borderimr. fif renorts

are to be credited,) upon the extravagant; but which we forbear to state. Never did such a concourse attend such a race ground in this country, and never was one thronged bv so many strangers of age and distinction from so many rlifhrent states, and some of them very remote. It affords no small pleasure to add, that not a single murmur of dissatisfaction was heard fio n any quarter. A irnrual comity, suitable to the ohantcter of gentlemen, prevailed on the ground and at the festive board. It is said thatoi witnessing the defeat of Ins favorite horse, Purdy burst into a flood of generous tears and off-red even then to re deem hirn. if permitted. What was the cause of his not being engaged before, the sporting world are an;: ions- lo known. It believed that had he been so the third heat would net have been necessarv to Kehnse. Evening Post. A correspondent insts, that" Such race are fitled to do much more injury to t ie bree d of MEN than service to the breed of 7.v-.; and that, while families are ruined, eteditois defrauded, vicious propenailies excited and hwteted, valuable time anl labor sacrilici -d, on 'ho race rnaind. the no ldrnofil.. ,.,'
