A NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP AT TAMM.NY.-
On the 27th, Mr.. John Cochrane proposed in
Tammany Hall a series Of resolutions, amount
ing to a vote of censure upon an Albany paper,
in consequence of articles which appeared in
its columns condemning the administration ;
and they were carried by thirty-one TO ten.
This shows that Tammany is not up to the
level Of the age. Years ago, in that antedi-
luyian period which witnessed the struggles Of
the wing and democratic parties, political
cliques and factions had their newspaper
organs, which lived on the aims of the party,
and were OF course meekly obedient to the
mandates of its chief But with the rise of the
independent press, the party organs faded
away many dying altogether, others casting
Oft the shackles of party, and initiating their
successful rivals Of the Independent press
For the last no matter how many years it has
not been in the power Of any political party
10 establish censorship Of the press over its
organs and the Tammany committee, by try
ing T. have only proved their own folly. All
'other papers are free to speak what they like !;
II political schcmers do not like their senti-
ments, LET them answer them; but proposal
OF ostracism y FIR more likely to be fatal to
its author than injurious to lis intended vic
tim Let the press stand On its own merits.

Miss Terpsichore has many high priests in this me-

mention Madame Augusta whose character both private

The Truth i Omitted.


Il, will be remem bered that Immediately

which characterized the Louisville election,

'fasten the responsibility Of these sanguiaary

Conscious It's innocence, the organs OF The
Democratic party femfined calm, ami quietly
awaited ior time TO clear the record. The
National lnielligencer,' paper which stands
'confessedIy a, The head Of the opposition to
Democracy IN the Union, thus speaks on this
subject We ask the candid of all parties to
read: -
"Afler q careful examination Of all that we
have seen bearing on the point, after an un.
rrejnjiced study ofihe articles that have ap-
psared on the subject in the Louisville jour
male, we believe that The blood Of the stain is

The demoralizing effect Of the present war
will be fell by England as severely as. the
grip upon her treasury. j, And twill be years
before she can recover from the shock. This
demoralizalion will run through her people,
and The cost Of this contest will for ages
crush down The energy and industry oi the
