 Our rraaezs are apvrised that an article appeared In the "Enqairer" of yesterday morning, iinpeach- ing the conduct of the Hon. Judge King. The ar tcie in our opinion was uncasGec fot aid was oi a h. os wanton character, written by the Junior Edi- CT ol .he Enquirer, who. editor has few ris5 to rreiudit or contro The sober ef this mnniiy.

NIT. lr,ing is young pan. ~ness purposes se suppose sO be good but Mr. l. w.'h $ to know others better and think great deal les ~ himseIf. He has to learn, that editors opinions are but tie opinions of al last, and Ii at thousand readers constitute uibuu-l of thousand Juoges whose mandste gives a very limited precinct to editorial impHisacs The press, we rehesrse, Is nut brtfish agent and he who uses ii as person. al weapon is dastardly coward and an unfit agent cf public opinion.

He now knows that to spit poisc'. Is but poorly spoiogised for by holding up sbisid flieiniependener of the press.
