With what face the Gracchl could complain of
sedtion, has been for a number OF years a matter OF
considerable wonder; but how the "Courier'' can
denounce licence vulgarity, and libel, may be
iessed even little more startling And yet he does
It; ay, and Tin good terms, in good set terms, al
though a-." Listen to the indignant ac-
cents for apart from him who gives hem uterance,
vrtuous women. Christian fathers and mothers, and
merchants and traders having respect for the misor
tunes OF others you can reconcile il TO yOurse Ives
to continue your countenance to this admit ed or

vented his virtuous indignation. HES HIM 10 the
scene OF his swn nause ous'' triumphs, and de-
moralizing influence Having denounced the ad-
mled organ OF the brOthels, he betakes him TO- the
| TASK IN W0lCn ne mas IaOOreQ Tor years, AID In
which he still daily Iabors, of turning the whole
public arena OF political life in his natve country,
into one vast brothel
The existing President of America we believe to
have been man Of good intention; and that the
responsibility Of the worst denquencies which can
be charged upon him, should in the first instance
tau on those whose vices, with his own weakness,
have compelled HIM to unworthy courses we do
most firmly hold. HIS position has been most pain
ful from the first; one In which none but The strong
est man could have kept his dignity and self re-
spect. Alas! then, for the good Intentions of a
man apparently among the mos! weak. Begin by
giving HIM credit Tor no one good purpose b. GIN by
| suspectlDg him Of every earthly viIlsny and dsho
nes'y. and it is hard it you DO not end in making
you suspect him. Thus even his deporable cohnec.
ton with the creatures Of the " New York Herald"
has its mitigating circumstances, and the great
weight OF the crime lies not the President, but
on the people. We need not here speak further as
to this, seeing that dweIt at some length in our
former article on these special points Of the news

and debasing the entire conduct of affairs OF state
But admitting all that the most abandoned foes of
Captain Tyler" could desire, would some decency
not be left for the office of Chief Magistrate?
Is there no demoralising influence in the habitual
use of such Language this, in which the Courier"
notices one OF the cabinet organs OF Washington
paper called the " Madisonlan," somewhat mild
in it's tone; indeed, as will be observed, only too
mild Tor the taste of the Courier"
"Mr Tyler and his cabinet employ paper which an
utter the country and ouid be disgrace

not already at the bottom As exponent intellect

that final and terrible effect which, if waited for,

One word, before we quit these papers, on what
as the " out-yeneralling" of Lord Ashburton. We
feel bound TO ay that this was any thi z but the
tone Of the majority of the American papers, until
what was called the e private history OF the Ashbur
ton treaty" Was contained In letter OF remon-
STRANGE from friend Of Mr. Webster's, against the
continued abuse OF that Statesman, anu II certainly
succeeded In turning aside wrath. Whether not
reasonable grounds, we leave others To Judge
