Tt will mot, by any man worthy to be at the head of a public journal, to be held good reason for publication, that an article is ca"stic, censorious or slanderous-that it complains of the depravity of mankind, or attacks persons high in authority. that, with bated breath,' it insinuates treason or sedition in every line, against men reputed true and loyal-or that it charges corrup. ton upon judges and juries, and even fears.

 that the hangman may be bribed to permit the doomed felon to escape. Such extra care for the public veal will, to right minded and at the same time sagacious man, afford cause for close scrutiny and ex- animation. lest after all, the writer may have nothing in view but the infliction of dastard wound upon some reputation sup. posed to shine too bright for his own, or that some other purpose, equally base and un- manly, has occasioned the concentration of so much bile.
 There are, undoubtedly, occasions upon which it becomes necessary for the Editor ot a public paper to assume the task of a censor of public morals. But, when he ventures so much, he should take care lest his own motives be liable to suspicion.- Let him, above all, so temper his zeal with knowledge and discretion, that there may not be good ground for surmising that he is rather thinking of what may be popular than what is right-and that whilst he may have one eye open to the good of the pub-a lie, he employs the other in an industrious search after his own advancement. ~

 Winte, Evenings. Winter is a glorious thing, cold as 1t may be, cheerless as it may seem to be-, and we too frequently really make it. If New Engianders have tho character of industrious, active, energetic, intellectual peopie-no other means in this world so much as ihe cold days and long evenings of Winter have made them so.-- They have been industrious from necessi- ty--they have decided and road and re. Aected from necessity: they have become a singular people, respected every where for their energy and intelligence from .ne- cessty. In the warm Luxurious south, they would have been just such people as South erners are-in Italy they would be as ef. fen,inate as any Italian--in Asia they never would have built factories, though they had the best water power in the world -in fact, any where but in New England they would have been any thing but the same hard, wide awake, bold toe-lhe-mark sort of men and women,that, they are. 59 ' 1f, then, New England character is any thing, New Englantf winters are every thing to that character. Let the winters be improved then. Read, read, read, news papers, books, every thing improve the time in study and reflection which cannot be given to business; storo your minds with the history of other Republics, see when and how they fall--of other reopl6, see what are their springs of prosperity, what the rocks on which they split; iGii- prove your hearts and your understanding, and thank your Creator that he has so or- dered it, in his providence, that you can become the best, the bappiest, and the grea- test people on the earth. ss5g 94, rf a1r.sg
