The devotedness of certain newspapers to a foreign interest may be discerned clearly enough to convince any one. There is an incessant labor to bring about feelings and events which are not American—which a true American detests. To disorganize and degrade our own government, to set the states above it, to set clubs above it, to set the people against it as a tyranny, that steals power from them by cunning, and their money by corruption and peculation; to worry the first man in the world, so as to disgust him with the discharge of the most respectable and useful duties in the world, in the hope that he may retire—to abuse and persecute every truly able and honest public officer, so as to let the government sink into the puny hands of feeble temporary dupes, or into those of knaves—in which case they would have it to themselves: these are the objects of party—these are the topics which certain devoted printers disseminate. For the truth of this, the appeal is made to their readers.
