election. till at last he has got things sub
stantially where they were before the revo-
luton, the only difference being that his ty-
ranny is now palliated by a hypocritical veil
of liberal formalities, whereas it was pre-
viously open and undisguised.
But We must not lnger on this point;
the question we have TO debate with The
Courier is more interesting and important.
1t is involved in the remainder of its article
which we copy as follows:

First, as to the light ofthe King to issue
such decree as that in question. He is
empowered to issue DEGREES with the force
of laws, subject to revision at the next
meeting of the Legislature, but only in cases
where pressing danger to public order and
safety absolutely require it. This power is
not, by any means, intended to put the
rights of citizens and the guarantees Of the
Constitution into his hand, to be dealt with
at his arbitrary pleasure. But he chooses
SO to construe and exercise it, and by a
most ingenious continuance has suppress
ed the liberty Of the Press, which he had
again and again, under the most solemn
circumstances, taken oath to maintain. We
say that there is not the shadow of an ex-
cuse for this outrage. Public order and
safety were in no danger in Prussia. There
were no doubt licentious and worthless jour
nails there, but their influence afforded no
reason for alarm as to the security Of the
State. Nor were they whit more inhuen-
tial or dangerous than at any time these
twelve months, and during the session of the
late Diet. Had there been any need for such
measure as this it should have been boldly
introduced in that body and there enacted
or rejected. But there was no need Of it,
and has been none. This fact has been
recognized in Prussia by men Of 'moder-
ate opinions, thousand times better in
formed than our cotempOrary. When The
Cologne Gazette can pass unmingled con-
domination upon measure of its govern
ment, one might suppose that The Courier
and Enquirer need not think it requisite to
defend it,
The Courier leaves out Of sight the worst
thing in this law, whether ingeniously or
ingenuously is no concern of ours. 1t says
that its hardest feature is the exaction Of
caution.mOney. The really hardest fea-
ture is the authority conferred upon Post
masters, agents under the immediate and ex-
elusive direction of the Royal Government
to refuse to carry publications they don't
think of the right color. This is the most
thorough and alarming system of censor
ship vet invented. Under it the most re-
spectacle and unexceptionable of the liberal
journals are falling victims to the hatred of
free speech, natural to a villain and despOt,
who has also long and carefully labOred to
become perpetually famous as a simpleton.
