That those principle+ should be rightly under stood, is a matter of the utmost importance In my. Naiad, Sir, the safety of the country, in a great s t essere, depends upon it—because, the better they are known, the more widely they are disseminated, "pith the snot* vigour will the people combat in their defence—whether against the openly-declared attacks of a foreign essay, or the more insidious, sod, consequently, more dangerous inroads of a Miuistry, whose power has been uniformly exerted in opposiug the genuine and legitimate opinion of the nation, mid in screening those greet offenders. aloe the public voice was unanimous in can anteing :—Through the medians of the press, shoe, ran this denrsble end be attained:aitroin its ? wiry the greatest blestings, from its corruption toe greatest t ell. mud flow. That pethidine. occult gi,enes should, therefore, be regarded with a jett ies; eye :—Not merely should we oppow any eii enactment attempted by those in power—.hut we eleatkl iliseminteirance and seeet the conduct of sordid nolividnal, what intimately coi,nected with that part of tie poblie pctso. which more •Onitse diately gives the tone toj the political, *led, I may ,in a considerable degree, to the moral feeling of country—Lay their violence, ignorance. belfieit food tergiversation. have. in assns imitate" this mighty eegiue, iu the sea of reflect , hr their licentiouenem, given a fa whisk opportunity to those so ioclinad, to attack 'great bulwark of freedom.---Vers will, Sir, no perceive. 1 spook of-the newspaper &Ogre- In descanting on this subject, I the more readily you, Sir, as your Paper is essodueted en those aides of andeviating liberality and indepeed in which your contemporaries are generally so t. When I contemplate the great import pee of the subject, I am truly astonished; that, amidst ill the discussions to which the liberty and trreatiocuness of the Press have given rise, eal little should have been takes of the manner, at ewe ridiculous and eriesiosel, in which that depart loot has been generally conducted—e-ridiculoos, for lamella= dispixyed ; and criminal, because kely to mislead the eareflectiog pert of the insanity. When I consider through how Many led hands several of the diurnal prints and the benefit or mischief which must in proportiou as the principles of such moral and political, ire pod or bad, I it a matter of serious import, that the politic nould be warned to withhold their countenance from Newspapers, manifestly established for party "' r l.—nod that such encouragement should be fives to prints, devoted to the Cause of truth and l'idelmelenee, as to induce the Proprietors, if not ?twelves Editors, to select men of acknowledged iste K rity and abilities for that arduous situation.— late yeah, the number of newspapers hes in .: ainseingly—but, I am sorry to say, the iuhlic patronage, so liberally extended to them, not had the effect, sow devoutly to be wished," isiirrlueing gentlemen of learnimg„ geniis., and - .tootle, to the performsnze of the duties of a isnio n of such responsibility. This, I think, hes "`sit front that parronsee having been bestowed trivet dUrriminatiost. When the proprietor of a "Wilier, actuated solely by self-interest, finds the grossest ribaldry, the most shameful de lucre fions truth ; nay, the abandonment and of the mint sacred principles, do not prevent public from still col/porting him, hr, of course. INes not think it necessary to incur an extraor ! rsry expense in procuring individualri, of op menu, to litiperiiitcnd his publicstiom.— (. v .." saes lie, to the public, the regular ro,:ri.7 matter, my paper is established, and the "ify a of uo importance. To make a fortune is —.I fee: no soli:itude to amine or Tits, I am confident, is the *Orion of of tti le who preside over both the Iklsoisterial r and Opposition Journals. As aOW of the little ability and integrity generally tuenifestert in these publications, we have but to examine, esti-entity, the numerous prints which are daily published, iii this metropolis. Not to mention the geiteetil loss lies, and inelegance which pervade their style, than puerile attempts at wit, and the wildness o( many of their speculatiobs, host often do we find then' • consist of the titost shameful libels (so pritate hid,- ,viduals, obsceuity the most disgusting, and fable hoods the most palpable? If these who conduct them are the advocates of any party, .they think their zeal cannot be sufficiently ,hewn, - utiles., its the abuse of their opponents, they discard every semblauce of decency ; while all the attributes of excellence are lavished on their friends, with the most shameful . asleilatioa :—Yet, perhaps, these lat. ter are men to whom the sentence as/maims, iu ad dressiug Sir William Draper, on his deltuce of the Nlarqnis of Grauby, may he applied with perfect propriety, that " such characters can only pass without censure, when they pass without i.bserva tims." This abuse of one parte, and this !lottery of another, proceed entirey from a sordid principle of e*hrterest ;---for, let the parties change sides, and those very men who are, this day, edified, shall he idolised, to-morrow ; and sire versa. Nor has it been an eincoiniumithing to se: a print, on one day preaching the doctrine of passive obedience and non-resirtauce a , and. on the next, promulgating principles of the most revolutionary tendency. If We examine the geaeraloyetens pursued in discus sing the situation of foreign affair., we shall find the same dereliction of truth.--Doring the absence of positive intelligence from the Continent, the public mind is amused, and the public ow:entail?, ing insulted. by accouuts of bottles that were never fought. defeats never sustained, and victories never won. These reveries are Owed under the imposing head of " Private Currespoisikace," and dated from the remotest parts of Europe; while. probably, the author is enjoying I • self iii one of the taverns of the . metropolis. But, should interesting intelli gence from the seat of war be absolutely received, the m-Ae of comment* on it is equally devoid of coeditor and of sense. Should our allies be, fortu nately, successful, adieu to all recollection of the resources of the enemy—the period of his de feat is instantly hailed as the point front which his fortunes are fated to decline—and a flattering picture is drawn. destined, probably, never to be realized ! If. an the other hand, victory declare against us, the melancholy intelligence is softened down in such a manner, that iniods, not in the habit of orgsting from cause to effect, not accus tomed to draw inferences from admitted circum stances, are almost inclined to believe, that not ' even a cheek has been received. Thu■ it was in 1806, in the wa- * betimes Furore aml Prtissia—in that lately concluded with Austria—and, finally. in that now winging with the Spanish Patriots. Every nerve is strained to ridicule the resources of the oneniy--every feasible mode is pursued to magnify victory, and to entices! defeat ; for these purposes, all the power* of &behead, and all the arts of Ca. soj s try. are pot in requisition. Suddenly, Mw ever, the nowelcouse truth bursts upon the coon try ; and. exactly in the saute proportion as the Public mind, in the first instance, has been elevat ed, so. is the second. is it depressed.—Should the affairs of Ireland. an integrel part of the em pire, become the subject of animadversion, in termit of eseleavouring to promote good-will and conciliation amongst all ranks and descriptions of people, we find a system pursuod, calculated only to debase the inhabitants or that.part of the empire, and, by exciting dissensions amongst them, holding out to the euensy a prospect of success in his threat ened attempts on :that mug h-tieglectecl country. When such flagrant abuses have crept into the management of the public press, it is no wonder that many, without tracing the evil to its sower, should imagine that it contained inherently. some Woeful qualitie►, and, cousequeutly; become indif ferent as to the destruction or preservation of that organ. which, for the most detestable pu►posis, has been made use of to slender the Gest, or deify the loots: men in soci.ly ! to invade the privacy of domestic tetiredient ! and, Malty, to ruin the coun try, by rois;epresenting its situation ! The pub lic, Sir, have the remedy in their own hands—and I think every opportunity ought to be seized. to ex poet the fallacies of those whose sole aim is to sup port a party—no matter how much the interests of truth and justice suffer liy their conduct. Sure I am, that, if et reaumis and uniform exertions were made by the real friend* to the iodepensience of the country. the public its general would soon he con winced of the numerous evils arisiog from the sup port of such publications, they consequently would withdraw their countenance, anti impart it to those which are more worthy of it. Having spoken thus mitch with respect to the evil. and the only mode of correcting it, it may be worth while to in quire what abilities are necessary to the formation of a good Newspaper Editor;—one capable of sn periuteolling the various ramifications into which that heterogeneous mass, a diurnal print. fleets eerily extends ; one who, with equal facility and elegance. can proceed— " Fres grave tugs.", frra lively to Mr" who, in these I. abstract and brief chronicles of the times," can depict, with truth, ay to a warn?, the various circumstances which occur around Itim who, never looking tight of the " delegentie pout?. moselidn," in hi. reienrkt oo meu and m~nrea, ou 0n0r419 and poliiscs, can enliven with the brit• liancy of wit, while he convinces by the btreagth of argument. The subject is the more interesting, for, froin the manner in which newspapers are, at preseet, generally edited, malty are led to believe, that a very small share of utiderstaudiug, so 1 still less of education, are necessary for the busis,ess of an editor. But, alas! they who conchide filo:, are miserably mistakes!—lli. Johnson. in his Bassein, has pourtrayed, with admirside fidelity., the se rious qualifications necessary to. constitute a poet. Ansidat the multiplicity of productions which the Union Question ce:leil forth in 'rebind, one, its titled ne Philosopher, excited no little attention...• its delineation of the itqui.ites demanded to form the clieracter from which it derised its title, ex hiisited a vigour and elegance of languege, scarcely inferior to Johnson. Although the world may deny to the character which 1 shall endeavour to depict. that dignity which the Poet and Philosopher have, iminemorielly, enjoyed ; yet, Sir, the Editor of a Newspaper, to ise indeed worthy the title, should Iserticipate in the qualities which are ascri4eil to both ; rod, in a national point of view, is of tench more importance than either. Natural strength of intellect, improved by study, should characterise MI Editor. Ilia mind should be the c,ounterpart of that which his biographers ascribe to Johnson---6i. ;Wile, at once, of elucidating the most abstruseonial of sporting with the mast trifling *abject. Thus, *He one body of his readers are instructed by his bun - mous remarks on public events of the utmost importance, another body will be entertained by the sallies of his imagination. An aularged know ledge of history, ancient and modern, more par ticularly of that of his e.,e ire land. with the laws and constitution of which lie should be extremely conversant, and a perfect acqnaintance with gets. graphy and topography, are absolutely necessary. The one will teach him to expect certain effects from certain causes, as regularly as the conclusion follows the pre - susses; for events, parallel to those narrated in history, are every day acting 011 the theatre .f the world : The other will he of infinite service iu hi► winery sneenlations, 1111 , i will fre quently suable him to detect the errors of csi eters translators, and ignorant necessity of cultiesniug a knowledge of the principal Coutineo tal languages, especially French, must be evi dent man, well versed in these languages, is not dependent on the cipeice of others— and if .he have - not time or inclination to desate himself, generally, to translating, he, at all events, is competent to inset those who err wait adequate to the task.—Nut is an acq,paiiitauce with. alia leurned Nooses - unnecessary ; for, not unfre quently, solijecta, connected with classical litera ture, may be _introduced ; and, when elegantly treated, give an air of erudition to a paper, highly pleasing to - the more relined class of readers. In short, Sir, an Editor should piraesa a fund of in formation equal to the great variety of aul.jects which daily occupy his columns; whether he write himself; or give judgment on the writings of others, he should possess knowledge sufficient to perform the first with elegance, the second with justice. Such, in my opinion, are the requiaites, esentially necessary for an Editor. 1G on looking around me, I discover few person., connected with the public press, who pawns them, I think it has not arisen from the scarcity of genius in the country, but from the little encouragement give.) to real ability is that dcpertr.tent. An is tilted gen:ris will tartly devote itself to party . --its siews are directed to the good of all mankind, and, unfortunately, the prin cipal support sod encoaracenient of the present day, are lavished on those who espoose zealously (or, in other words, whether right or wrong,) some par ticular individuals or opinions.
