INDEPENDENCE OF EDITORS.

We have witnessed with establishment that very many
Of the Democratic editors in the country, who OPP
posed, upon principle, TO the Sub Treasury scheme and
the whole financial policy Of the administration and
who, but short time since, bold and loud in their
denunclations Of both, as "sntLrepubcan and sub
versiye in principle, and most hazardous to the govern
ment and runous to the interests Of the people in prae
fce," have laid down their and are yielding their
assent to the very LocoFoco doctrines they have 50
strongly Teprobated What has induced these editors
to seal that fountain herelofos potent in the great

qurer, Albany Argus, Utica Observer Onondaga

in silence" upon this robbery Of the peoples rights"
after having aroused the people to the dangerous here
sizes OF Loco ocoism, and admonshed them that the
balance OF the Constitution has already become shifted
and that too much influence has been thrown into the
note OF danger and alarm, that the worst apprc-
tensions OF federal are about be realized
under the profession and name Of Repubcanism, by
the swallowing up in the Executive, Of the remaining
powers vested ny the Constitution in the coordinate
branches Of the Government! Is this change owing to
the influence and promises Of those agents and cmis
sares which is stated the Government has sent into
several of the States for the purpose Of uniting the old
Jackson party and rallyng the household" again in
support Of the administration Is it Of the
Executive patronage which has been insinnatng itself
into their business and feelings until the convictions Of
reason, the suggestions OF conscience and the dictates
Of duty, have become paralyzed by its deadly influence
Let intelligent freemen
We cheerully admit TO- every individual or editor,
the perfect right to take their own course bnt claim
the right point the extraordinary circumstances
under which any ae1 lights" received, or snddss
changes adopted, especially when they require snrren-
der Of all republican principles and blind devotion to
men. We believe, with the editor of that able paper
the New York Times, that when individual or con-
ductor OF public journal declares hostility from prin-
cple, to any MEASURE and afterwards lays down his
arms, without causing it to be abandoned obtaining
any evidence of intention abandon on the part
Of the aggresso he sacrifices his independence Of mind
relnqushes his right to freedom of thought and freedom
of discussion, and exposes himself the ecntempt OF
