rpIroHIAL INDEPENDENCE.

The public press Is an engine of great good or
great evil according to its conduct But 10 do good
il must be honest; and TO be honest it must be indie
pendent
The liberty of the press, said Hamilton, consists in
the right publish the truth with good motives and
for justifable ends though rejecting on govern
ments or individuals
Franklin was careful to exclude from his Ga
zete all matter partakng of the character OF per-
sonal abuse TO which most of the colonial papers of
his period addicted; at the same time, he was
most severe in his structures on the conduct of men
in their public capacity and was needless of the
sequences. The following anecdoe is related as
an illustration OF his independent feeling as an ed
itor: Not long after he had commenced his duties,
he noticed with considerable freedom the public
conduct OF one or two influential persons in Pha-
delphia. This circumstance was regarded with
disapprobaton by some of his patrons, one of whom
undertook to convey to him the opinions Of the rest
in regard to it. Benjamin listened with patience to
the reproo and begged the favor Of his friends
pany to supper on an evening which he named; at
the same time requesting that the other gentlemen
who were dissatisfied with him should also attend.
The invitation was accepted by Philip Syng Hugh
Roberts, and several cshers. The printer received
them cordially, and his editorial conduct can
vassed, and some advice given. Supper was at last
announced, and the guests invited into an adjoining
room. Franklin begged the party to be seated, and
urged them to help themselves f; but the table was
only supplied with two buildings, and an earthen-
ware pitcher filled with water Each guest had
plate, SPOON and penny porringer; they were all
helped, but but Franklin could eat; he partook
freely of the pudding and urged his friends to do the
same but twas out OF the question-they tasted and
tried in vain When their facetious host saw the
difficulty was uncomfortable, he and addressed
them thus: I" My friends, any one who can subsist
upon sawdus pudding and water, as can, needs no
mans patronage"

MIR. KILGoRE RESIGNED.

The Cadis co., Organ of the 18th instant says:
"Swearingen is elected to represent the 10Th Con-
gressonal District by upwards of 500. The cleo
ton of this gentleman is conclusive evidence, to Mr..
Kilgore at least that raofity of his constituents
in favor of the Sub Treasury bill therefore, the
loco focos may prepare to send another man in his
place to at the ensuing session. He has trans
mitted to the Governor his resignation like homo
rable man. That is right The locos who have
been daubing him with the epithets traitor, eunuch,
&C., have another evidence of his perfect consisten
cy He has preached the doctrine Of obev resign,
and as the Sub Treasury bill in all probability will
be brought up at the ensuing session, he has pre-
ferred rcsigning to noting for bill that he believes
will be the entering wedge to monarchy in this fair
land"

ABUSE OF CONSERVATIVES.
PUBLIUs.

Our attention is almost daily called 10 the spirit Of
unfarness, prescription and fendish maigniy,
which is constantly manifested by the administra-
ton presses towards the Conservative portion OF the
Republican party Their violent abuse Is dealt out
by rhoiesale and they view the rankest OF the
Wings with much kinder feelings than they do an
honest Republican, who adheres to the principles OF
Jefferson and Madison. And why is this 7 Because,
when men who have been formerly associated with
the democratic party, worn out with disgust at the
conduct Of John M. Niles and other minions OF pow
er, go over to the Wings, they can at once be de-
nounced as old federalists and easily disposed OF in
that way-leaving the genuine black cockade iede-
ralsts who are acting as file leaders OF the Van
Burenites, and who have undergone pretended
change in shorter time than Jonah's gourd was in
growing to appropriate all democracy to themselves
But the Conservatives, by remaining Democrats
both in name and practice, are quite troublesome
The administration party are like the Roman Catho-
lie Clergy There must be no dissent from their
dogmas. They can take in the inhdel at moments
warning and make him pure-but he that doubts
their nfalbly is damned. Well may the Loco
Focos prefer the Wings, for they are themselves
now the advocates Of the worst old federal doctrines

E-The probability is, after all the Boosting
of the Loco Focos, that there will be an anti
Sub-treasury majority in the next Congress,
provided, New York does her duty, as she is
expected. Will she not do III We believe
she will. All eyes will now turn to her. Upon
her rests the responsibility Of averting the con-
sequences Of Sub-treasury Executive Bank,
of preserving her own interests, and saving
the Republic. If she omits to send men
enough to Congress to defeat that scheme,
her merchants may tie up their vessels, her
bankers close their doors, her mechanics seek
employment in vain, and her laborers beg for
bread. The Sub-treasury with the specie
clause How will it be possible to collect
the twenty millions Of duties at New York in
specie, when there are but seldom more than
three millions in the cityl And this money to
be elsewhere dsbursed No; the merchants
cannot pay their bonds-the bankers cannot
supply the specie, and all their trade and COM
merce must be at an end.

1t is stated that the whole number of votes
in Belmont and Guernsey, Ohio, did not equal
by several hundred, the actual number of
voters. i" The principal reason for this" says
the Wheeling Times, "is, that the greatest
portion of the abolitionists, who were Wings,
refused to vote, from the belief that Van Blu

vote against him or his interest ~

From the Baltimore Chronicle Of yesterday.
ELECTION OF MAYOR IN BALTIMORE

An election was held in this city yesterday, for a
Mayor and members Of both branches of the City
Council, which has resulted in the complete success
of the Wing nominees by most signal and trium-
plant maiores SHEPPARD C. LEAKIN, the
Wing candidate, is chosen Mayor by majority Of
ACT votes and twenty-one Wings have been elected
to the City Councils, being majority in each
branch and a majority of six on joint ballot.
The election, we are happy 10 say, was not cha
racierized by those scenes of violence which dis
graced our city two weeks ago. The money of the
government was wanting, and no hired DULLES APP
peared at the polls TO prevent the aged infrm or
imd from depositing their ballots The consequence
was that the Wings have Obtained majority of
nearly five hundred votes-a majority which falls
short of their real supremacy in Baltimore. This
result shows conclusively that but for the violence
which prevented fair election on the Sd Of Octo-
ber Mr. Steele would have obtained in Baltimore
sufficient majority to elect him the Governor Of Ma
ryland. The following are the returns for Mayor
and Civ Council.

themselves to blame for Nulli6ers being taken up
at any rate, the district ought not be msrepresented
by the election Of Mr. Legare This is the purport OF
the etterwe have il before u.s. and pretend not TO
quote II verbatim"
This is the reward Mr.. Legare receives for
sustaining the administration in the dark hour
Of its trials, and contributing to elevate Mr..
Poinsett to office! To all this, the ruffianly
caitff Globe adds its coined SANDER accu-
mulating insult upon injury.
"Mr Legare has been left at home to drink
alone the black broth he offered to the admin
istration, and to raise, we hope, successfully,
the cotton he misrepresented the Secretary of
the Navy as wishing to discourage says that
paper, with its characteristic effrontery and
falsehood, Mr.. Legare never " offered" any
Z" black broth" to the adminstration-he only
said the Sub-treasury exclusive hard money
policy was returning to the age of black
broth and iron money" As for misrepre-
senting' the Secretary of the Navy, he never
represented him at all, or spoke of him in
connection with the cotton subject. But that
the Secretary Of the Treasury substantially
told the South they raised too much cotton, we
can prove by the best testimony, his report it.
self
The truth is, that the Sub-treasuryites fear
ed the power Of Mr.. Legare's intellect. He
proved their scheme too clearly to be most
outlandish, ill adjusted, and impracticable'--
For the sin Of achieving this moral triumph Of
truth over quackery, the administration has
lent a hand to notification, to achieve aphysi-
cal victory over him. They may keep him at
home, but they cannot destroy his intellect,
nor efface the impression it has already made
upon his age and generation.
