Editorial State Convention.

Agrecably to call published generally
in the Democratic newspapers of the State,
a Convention of the Democratic editors OF
Pennsylvania met in the Senate Chamber
of the Capital at Harrisburg, at 81 o'clock,
A. d., on Wednesday, the 18th inst.
On motion, the Convention was orga-
nizcd by the appointment Of Hon. George
Sanderson, of Lancaster, President; Col
onel Levi L. Tate, of Columbia county,
and General James P. Barr, of Allegheny
county, Vice Presidents, and Thomas j.
Ham, Esq, of Wayne county, Secretary.
Mr.. Sanderson, on taking the chair,
briefly addressed the Convention as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen ofMe Contention II thank
you heartily for the honor you have just
conferred upon me, in selecting me to pre-.
side over the deliberations of this body,
and it gives me pleasure to say that the
Democratic editors Of Pennsylvania con-
stitute q body of men with whom I am
proud to be associated.
Gentlemen, the power Of the press, at
all times important, is one which, at this
time, is fraught with vast Importance to
the people of our Commonwealth. 1t is
emphatcally the fourth power in the State.
The Legislative, the Executive and the
Judiciary constitute the three powers, but
the press, and especially the Democratic
press, is more potent than either, or all
combined, inasmuch as it can make and
unmake Legislators Governors and Judges,
and is the "power behind the throne grea-
ter than the throne ITSELF" Free speech
and free press-the right to speak, write
and publish to the world our honest opin.
ions-are cardinal principles in the creed
of every free American citizen, whether
naturalized or to the manor born-a ight
"nestimable to them and formidable to
tyrants only"-which, come veal or woe,
can never be surrendered to the dctum of
tyrants and dictators whether in power or
out of power. These are my honest sem
timents, freely expressed, and | feel sure
that, at the same time, am giving utter
ance to the sentiments of all my brethren
of the Democratic press, when I say that,
come veal or woe, in adversely or prosper
ity, we shall claim this liberty at the risk
of our lives.
We are in the midst Of exciting and
terrible events but we must not falter in
the bold and faithful discharge of our
duty as conservators of the Republic. 1t
is true the second reign of terror is upon
us, yet more fearful and tyranical than the
first reign of terror during the admins
tration of the elder Adams but we must
not quail belote the minions of despotism
The Queen Of England could not retain
her throne for twenty-four hours, if she
attempted to suspend the writ of haJea.

shall we, in this free State of Pennsylva

we basely bow the knee to the iron heel o
despotism, and confess ourselves to be un
worthy of the glorious heritage of free

The President thinks the man who
says nothing, ought to be arrested for
what he would like 10 say. He who does
nothing should be arrested for what he
wants to do. This is new doctrine, and
may, we suppose, be called the ABRA'
HAMIc creed.
