ae definition Of libel, as an offence
sainst the law, il is not considered whe-
ther the publication be true or false.
"Although the truth OF the words is no
justification in a criminal prosecution for
q libel, ye, the defendant may repel the
charge, by proving that the charge was
made for justifiable purpose, and not
malicious, nor with the intent to defame
any man.
"When any man shall consent to be a
candidate for public office conferred by
the people-he must be considered as
putting his character at issue SO far as i:
may respect his fitness and qualifications
for the office. And publications Of the
truth on this subject, with the honest in
tention Of informing the people, arc not
libel.
"And every man holding public cleo
tive office may be considered as within
this principle.
"For the same reason the publication
Of talsehood and calumny agar ns1 public
officers or candidates for public Offices,
is an offence most dangerous to the people
and deserves punishment.
But the publication o! libel mali
ciously and with intent to dsiame, whe-
ther true or false, is clearly an offence
against law and sound principles, which
must be adhered to, so long as the re-
straiut of all tendencies to the breach Of
the public peace aud to private animosity
and revenge, is salutary to the Common
wealth"
"This is the law which makes libel
a CRIME, in this Commonwealth, and the
authority by which that law was made

mon law, nor statute law, but entirel,

There is a sacrednc 81 Of feeling, an awe

at the lonely grave, than in the crowd ed

Ity Of religion, on this or that mode Of be-
lief but adhcrcs alike to the Pagan, Jew,
