PoLlTIcIANs VERSUS The PREss--We beg leave
quietly and cooly to advise the Van Burens Of this
State, old and young, rotten and rich, corrupt and
profigate, that we shall hold them and their party
responsible for the conduct Of the newspapers under
their control fed by their patronage and corrupted
by their money N
II is time for those old and rotten politicians to
understand the signs Of the age. The day when
they could denounce an independent press or indie
pendent men, and manacle Independent thought, is
past. Old Van Buren, would do much better 10 re-
main quietly at Lindenwald enjoying the beauty Of
his property, and the contentment Of the country
house which was owned by old Judge Van Ness
who was his early friend, and whom Mr.. Van Buren,
treated with ngratitude. The distinguished galan-
try OF warrior can't be turned TO his advantage at
the present day as II was during General Jackson's
presidency. Nor do the people acquiesce with the
same seryility to the mandates of party issued BY
those half educated lawyers called politicians, which
they formerly did. We have already shown some
generosity TO young Van Buren,, BY publishing his
speech, and giving him due credit for independence
Of mind but 1t seems, the young politician Is too
much m6ucd with the spirit of the old one, to un-
derstand his position at the present day. or TO appre-
cate the position of the independent press that Is
capable II It chooses, OF overturnlng half the Van
Burens Of every age, or Of any length Of purse.
