EDITORIAL TROUBLE. All the editorial re-
marks in the last number ofthe Detroit (Mchi
GAM Gazette, come to us under date, g Wayne
County JAIL" where John P Sheldon, the con-
ductor of that paper has his present resi-
dence, on account of some contempt of the Su-
preme Court which does not clearly appear in
the columns of the print itself. He had been
mulcted in the sum of one hundred dollars,
with the cost of prosecution, in consequence Of
his offence, and the sentence of the Court was,
that he should stand committed till the same
be paid
After hearing the sentence, the editor re-
marked that he had formed the determination
to go to the prison, " and there to remain until
the hairs of his head were as white as the walls
OF the Court room (the walls were probably
white-washed) before he would pay any part Of
the fine" He was accordingly escorted to his
new lodgings. Before sun set, however, the
citizens of the place, to the number of three
hundred, assembled, and having selected a
chairman and secretary, proceeded to draw up
certain resolutions expressing their indignation
at what they considered the violated rights of
free citizen. They then appointed commit
tee to receive subscriptions from the inhabi-
tants of Detroit, "to be applied to the payment
OF the fine and cost for which J. Z. Sheldon is
now imprisoned, and thus separated from his
wife and children, and that the surplus be ap-
propriated to defray The expenses incurred by
ii. l.. Ball, printer of the Gazette, i'll the suit
against him, involving the same principles
That every person SO disposed might have an
opportunity of contributing to the release of
the unlucky editor, it was declared that no in
dividual should be allowed to pay sum ex-
ceeding t,oeLUe Gnd q half cents.
The proceedings growing out of this prose-
cution did not end here On the succeeding
Saturday, about three hundred citizens assem-
bled and partook of a Public Dinner at the JUL.
A great many toasts were given, and many
songs sung. OF the former we select few,
which indicate the feelings of the party.
The Prcss.-The mouth piece Of freemen---
how strong must be the hand that would muz-
zle it-how weak the head that would conceive
such project.
Naturalized Citizens.--We came here to en-
joy the liberty Of speech and Of the Press
Who shall rob us Of either?
Jury Tral-Our fathers fought for it.
and we will never relnqush it while we have
life.
In those days it came to pass that John, the
centurion, was imprisoned for contempt OF
Court; and the people were amazed, and sym-
pathised with John, and did divers things ia
cheer his heart.
