Licenfiousness of tie Press.
The liberty of the press is SO rich an
inheritance, that every child can decisin
in its favor But wha, shall be said of
that iieenfionsness, which makes it the
medium OF detraction. caIumny and false
hood What shall oe said. when the
most illustrious men in the nation---mcn,
the power Of hose talents is felt and ho-
nored in every cabinet of Europe-are
maligned, not only with IMMUNITY, but
even with triumph
Every one will see TO what point ou-
remarks are directed. The fresiarnsidl
contest, which has already been KEEP, up
in some papers for two or three years,
and is now approaching towards a crisis,
has given rise 10 language in relation 20
every one of the candidates for ,he chief
magistracy OF the nation, which ought TO
make the writers blush. Let an inteIli-
gent foreigner read such articles, and
what inference will he draw That oil
the presidential candidates are utterly
unworthy of the Office to which they as~
pirc. Or the only other supposi.ion
which can be made in tho case. And
what must be the effect upon The minds
of our citizens I? Plainly, to unsettle their
judgment as to the character Of the seve-
raj candidates, and their confidence in
the integrity Of the public press.
In what respects are editors like thun.
