The Hillsborough Recorder

The sober minds of both parties agree that the slander, invective and falsehood with which the party newspapers teem, are most painfully disgusting, sickening, and abominable. Yet all this is not so insufferable as the moral taint and infamy of those presses, which are now loudly singing the praises of the man who, but four years ago, they were no less zealously engaged in denouncing as a reprobate, a tyrant, and a ignoramus. Yet, we will defy the most inveterate opponent of Gen. Jackson to conceive stronger objections to his claims to the presidential office, or terms of more decided abuse of his character, than are to be found, ready cut and dried, in the files of those very papers that are now among the foremost in urging his pretensions to the presidency, and the most assiduous in offering him their adulation! Such prevarication and sycophantic meanness are a reproach to the moral character of the nation, and to the age in which we live, as they are a stain upon that of the press.
