A faithful Democratic Press,

1t seems that controversy, has lately
sprung up among some of our party pa
pers in relation TO the duties of a Demo.
cratic journal. One of the disputants
hints that the faults or failings of prom-
nent Democrats should be exposed by po-
itical enemies, not political friends. Re-
sponsively to this sentiment, the Cincin.
natl Enquirer says: A press that will
cover over the faults of delinquent public
agents and hide the misdeeds of the SER
want from the master, (the publicly such a
press is dangerous to the success of the
Democratic party" We strongly incline
10 take part, in this debate, with the En-
quirer. To conceal any kind of political
corruption is 10 share the crime; to palli-
ate, excuse, or overlook the misconduct oil
a public officer is treacherv to our coun-
try, and especially SO when a conductor Of
the press falls into this error. For il is
from the conductors of the press that the
public expects, and has a right to expect
faithful account of all matters which IN
volye the public welfare. Every journal
ist virtually contracts with The people to
afford them this kind Of information, and
a failure to do so, is abreach of good faith
that is perfectly inexcusable.
