q Cd the 22d inst, the second an
nual meeting Of the Press Union vii
take place in Baton Rouge. Ampl
arrangements will be made, and it
to Be hoped that large number Q
Editors aud Printers will be present.
i The meeting in July last-the frs
Of the Union. was nothing moro thar
a preliminary one for organization
and the committee appointed BY thai
meeting to address a circular to the
brcthcren, did so, but did not exercise
the full authority delegated to them
They were instructed toprepare some
regulations to govern the country
craft, and submit them to the brethren
for their consideration. This they
did not do, for the reason, We. presume
that the preliminary meeting was too
small to issue any set Of rules, without
first cnlisting the aid Of greater
number to insure ,licir observance.
The Press Union will not perhaps
at its next meeting, be able to effect
much, but ofthis fact the bretheren
may feel satisfied that the annual
meetings will continue, until. some.
thing to benefit the fraternity is the
result, and this is inevitable. We
presume there is not a member Of the
"coy7,se' editorial, who does not feel
that there arc many evils that might be
corrected in the public press. if there
were unity Of action:
The evils in the country might be
corrected at once, and our city brother
rcn soon be brought into the bonds Of
Union and fellowship. The New Or.
leans press is divided against itself and
in the large metropolis, difficulties are
to be met with, not found in the coun-
try, towards unity Of interest and nc.
ton. Our city brethcren have already
couhtcrarccd the action Of the Union,
and'we hope that such members o! lie
