The moral and political effects, springng from a
great revolution, are most generally like human IA
ture itself, skein Of mixed and tangled yarn. No
sooner is the election of General HARSIsoS placed
beyond a doubt, than we have the first symptoms
for extended conspiracy TO re-organize and sub
stitute party spirit for public opaon, and to Perse-
cute or supplant the most conspicuous OF those who
yet maintain degree of independence.
We understand that a combination has been eff
fected among many of the leading whig papers, edi-
tors and politicians in the Atlantic cities, in order
to control the administration OF General Harrison,
to dictate what appointments he shall make, and to
denounce and rspudate all those men and papers
that possess independence and industry be-
yond the reach Of party. This combination, cen
spracy, plot, far we can learn, is composed
of the following papers and editors.
NrwsrAPERs EDITORS. CITES
Evening Journal, Thurlow Weed, Albany.
Courier s Enquirer, j. w. webb New York,
New York Express, James Brooks,
Atlas, Rchd Haughton, Boston :,

Richmond Wing, Peasants, Richmond
Around each of these separate papers, as so many
centres there revelve several dozen OF hungry, lean
politicians, who supply the funds and demand the
spoils. Whenever a man or newspaper Is TO De
hunted down, the plan prepared before hand, either
by letter by instinct and as soon as one falls upon
the victim, the others follow in the chace AT the
present time, the So Journal of Commerce" has been
selected for crucfxion, and the war cry has been
raised by Thurlow w eed, the State Barber, AT Alba
ny, and is followed up by Tray, Blanche and Sweet
heart" of Wall street. In the name oil the great
whig party and under the moral force of the recent
mighty revolution, these midnight assassins and
slo,ters have dared TO denounce and prescribe in
he Of
wings to sanction the insulting decree VIII this
,hal have been completed they will proceed TO de-
molish other and like independent prints
Now, if this wicked system of insolent proscrip'
tion is 10 be the first fruits of the recent glorious
revolution in which all independent and person
have aided to effect. what have gained by osst-
ing Van Buren, and breaking to pieces his party
On the accession Of General Jackson, Blair, Ken
dali, and host Of smaller petty tyrants, established
this system Of party escrpion, with its head quar-
tiers at Washington, and its base extremities every
where. We well remember the time when twenty
two hungry editors met at Gadsby's, IN ls2o, and
formed a gang to go up to the White House, and pay
their respects 10 General Jackson. Amos Kendall,
NJ NJ Noah, Isaac Hill, j. Watson Webb, and
twenty others, formed the groupe OF othce seekers
IL was proposed that Moan, the chiei OF the hungry
soaad should head the deputation OF editors seek
ing their share of the spoils." "No," said al,
:. am NOT the ft mani am too fat and greasy-Old
Hickory will say, Major, you are in fine condi-
ton Of course want Office and no share oil the
spoils will fall 10 our lot'' What shall be done
then p" asked one of the hungry gang. "Who Will
lead the deputationp' 81 propose Isaac HILL SAID
Noah. he is the leane.t and ugliest rascal among
u.-he is the very picture of poverty itself He'll
do TO represent our wants for Office" Capital"
said the other editors and let Kendall follow at his
heels"
All this was done. Ii was this secret combination
Of editors 10 get office, which Kendall afterwards
made the basis Of grand newspaper conspiracy and
despoti.m that made or broke character at will IL
was this wicked and dsmnable system Of "party
spirit" which the people have just risen in their
night and broke to pieces in the defeat oil Martin
Van Buren,. Are the free people ofthis mighty ma
ton who have made General Harrison President, to
permit Thurlow Weed, James Watson Webb, or
any other set Of Patry knayes, create similar de'
potisml No, never
