New York Journalism-Its Religious aud
Political Tendencies.
The position occupied by the newspaper
press and the personnel of its members are,
perhaps. one of the most striking indications
that can be found of the spirit of the present
published in This city. no two are conducted by
men Of the same religious belief and, still
stranger, it is improbable that all the writer's
and conductors Of any one paper profess the
same creed. The former fact, two centuries
ago, would have led to fierce controversies,
probably to bloody encounters; the latter
would have been simply impossible. Now,
both are manifest to every eye; and neither the
religious differences subsisting between rival
papers, nor the latitude of opinion enjoyed by
the associate editors of any one sheet, interfere
in the slightest degree with professional har-
nony or the public repose. Irritable as editors
are usually, and, perhaps, correctly considered,
a controversy on points of theological doc
trine in New York journal is the rarest thing
in the world. The public may Judge Of the
scope afforded for such a combat, from the
