Beauties Of the Press Our attention
was yesterday struck by the following
beautiful TRADE in southwestern pa
per.--As we wish TO avoid all personal
illusions, we shall abstain from attach
ing the name of the paper. What does
the reader think of this quintessence OF
abuse The editor seems to have ran
sacked the English language for the mos,
beliHting epithets. Unfortunately such
personal attacks are not confined to the
south or southwest; they are too COM
mon to the press of the country, not to
excite many deep regret with those
who set any value upon the tone of our
literary or political journals. Here is
the specimen
Heaven preserve us We are on
The brink OF controversy with the first
lieutenant of liars, in tue county of Au-
tauga. With a real Jack a-dandy of a
fellow, who only requires long tail to
make him perfect monkey, in both in
tellect and appearance. The impudence
OF the fellow, to suppose we would en-
gage IN a controversy with him--that
we would gro doVn to the last, least, and
tot0est OF the human race. Insufferable
to suppose that we would walk two
yards out of our path to kick away such
thing as he is. Absolutely insupport-
able the idea, that our temper should be
rufiied by the bark of such a foe. Hor-
rible the idea, that he might come under
our heels, and still more horrible that
we should have to kick him away.
What have we not to fear from the big
ours, when even the puppies bark and
snap at us. We will give chew of to-
bacco to any one who will chain him for
US. A small cotton Irvine will hold him.
He may be known by his collar I; it has
on it Little Billy Wyatt"
What an exquisite efTusion of good
taste and good temper 1t calls to mind
the following just remarks of the " Lon
don Herald" of the 18th September:
" 1t is well for the country that the
power of the press is great, because it ex-
ercises a wholesome control over all 9TH
er power; but in proportion as the just
and Legitimate exercise of its influence
proves beneficial to society, does the ty-
rannical or licentious abuse of its strength
impair its usefulness by degrading its
character and depriying it of public con
tidence."
