The Plymouth Rock contains letter from Mr. War
rem Pr sidenr of the Pilgrim in answer to
certain remarks Of that journal made in quoting por
Of account Of the late festival For our part
We msde 10 complaint against Mr. Warren, but ap-
proved Of his talent and success in presiding the cele
breton Our remarks we're leyeled against the manner
in which the Press is treated such occasions the
tre atment which they received az the Plymouth
festival being neither better han Ordinary
We5tendd produces reform in this matter and Judge
tha, far Mr. Warren is concerned the error will
not be repeated. Mr.. Warren mentions that Mr.. Yea
den who spoke for half hour sa editor from Charles
ton That We know and it proves nothing. Mr. Yeadon
happened TO be present and spoke the in honor
of South Carolina, end not editor in reply to toast
10 " the Press 1t seems that Mr. Hudson OF The
Boston atlas was 10 have answered for the Press la
the language Of Mr.. Warren, Mr.. H. lefs for Boston
before il possible ia the nature Of things 70 reach
he sentiment for him unless he had been called on be-
" fore Gov. Clifford Mr. Everett Mr. Sumner, Mr. u.
q ton, Mr., Blsgdeu, Mr. Hale and Mr. Yeadon. Well
that is precisely what object to, that the Press
put last because public lunctlonaries accord
ing 70 cusom, called onto speak first The delay of an
loar in commencing tie ceremonies, causcd by the
cars does Dor alter the VIVA We wish % convey
ia, that tie Press Of this country, if toasted at ALL
should not BE- put hsbi,uslly last Our ras.e would
be, 20 put il before the President Of the United
States, that funct,nsry be toasted This though
c1stom is bad: the American People should be
toasted instead Of him. The 70 the President is
segyile imitation of the Eagish custom If tossing
the Sovereign, which is done because ne rights Of the
English people have no. existence DieH e mon aroh
God ana ny right, being the royal motto and all else
beng the concession OF privilege Asfor such secondary
matters the Senate of the United States one branch
Of the national legislature which has ote to do s.en
We loci at the State and local governments begging
pardon Of Mr. Warren We really think the buwsrk Of
our Liberties, TRE Pass which viii live when pressn.
forms of legislation shsl have changed, ought 20 have
the place Of honor over them On such occasions
1--WE believe says Plymouth Rock everything wa
done by the Committee Of Arrangements for the pres.
which they thought necessary, and We have earnestly
expressed tins opinion BE that there srs yrOrainsn
members # Tie Pilgrim S0cey lrkO sresrsi at TIE press
aSd tie reporters Il IS useless for qEs 70 deny and such
hare liris Hesitation denovAcisg II makes very
little difference to whCthera claims to be above
below US, whether he is willing 10 DO our dirty WORK
or waits rs TO dc his oEn, his mesnn-ss is equally de
serving our censurt ard contempt; and though our
lumse press shall be scOrned for ire present We .hs
console ourselves with the hope Of living in the fu
t1se uHtil it shall triumph"
This is more serious matter than Mr. Warreas ste
-eo,yped mode Of treating the press '.Promilen
members OF tie Pilgrim Society sneereI a. the
Press !" We should like to have iheir nsmes We
el these prominent members who add the sin u in,o
cree 10 ignorance, that TIE Congress Of the United
States does not exhaust human wit AID learning We
an remember when the Senate could rot produce
ngle German, French, Spanish Italian scholar and
bat II looked to ar Editor for the translation Of Euro
state papers which It's ignorance could not grasp
We tel these prominent members, thai the Press Of the
country this rorent contains general knowledge
md talent than both Houses Of Congress that its dis
'ussions are as various the whole range Of sci
nee and art, and are not confined to politics. We
ell them that the members Of the press produce as
nany State Papers politicians and do not require to
pulled all ever the country for any and every little ad
ress they make, ia order to get votes VIA. il
