free press in all governments is a most pow
erful lever. 1t is the author of all safe resolutions
the advocate Of all efficient reforms. 1t regulates
and in a great measure creates public opinion. It
is the vehicle of Information and the protection of
public liberty. Such is a FREE PRESS. But when
it ceases to be repository Of useful information
when is becomes the pensioned tool of corruption
mendacy and abuse when it appeals to and at
tempts to the worst passions of mans nature
when it teens with libels upon the most iustrious
persons OF the land it loses its high attributes OF
fulness and becomes curse to the region through
which it circulates.
