Sc Every city and town ir New
Hampshire, where a newspaper is pub
lished, elected opposition members to the
Legislature, either in whole of in part ::
electing in all sixty-six opposition to Sc
ven administration. The fact shows
conclusiyslp that the people of this coun-
try, when informed of political uiquty,
will coudemn it.-Had there been lit
tie more time for information to reach
the back towns of New Hampshire be-
fore election, there would have hardly
been a ve.tige of the Nebraska Admin
istration party left there.

NEBRASKA AT DIscoUNT--The
Washington correspondent Of the \. Y.
Times, says:
Sol. Benton's speech again st the
Nebraska Bill has created something of
a fiustering among the friends ofthe bill,
and tbs telling speech of Mr.. Harris, of
Mississippi on the same side, don't help
the matter whit. 1t is evident that
the Southern opposition to the measure
has just fairly commenced. The bill is
losing force every day, and it will not
be long before there is a clear, decided
settled majoarity against it in any and
every shape. 1t is not improbable that
during next week-which belongs, by
rule, to territorial busness-an effort
may be made to put the bill upon It's
passage; but it will fail ifattempted, now
that the House is quite full again.

New Postna star at Salem.

We have neglected to notice that Mr..

master at Salem This is an appointment
highly fit to be made" and one which
will give much satisfaction to the vicin-

We learned from Mr.. Elias WooD-
WORTH, Chairman of the Board of Su-
pervisors of that Town, and an Adminis-
trati0n man, that this appointment has
been so long sought, with SO long con-
tinucd failure, that the charity and pa
tience ofthe people were entirely exhaus-
ted: Mr.. Burgess is a merchant centrally
situated, and everybody wanted him to be
postmaster. Petition after petition was
sent for that purpose. But he is Free
softer, and no appointment came. No
Democrat wanted it or would have it.
Mr.. Burgess was earnestly sought to take
the charge Of the Office. and act as Dcpu-
IT, But he refused saying he would
gladly accommodate the neighbors, but
ii he was not worthy the commission, he
was not worthy to act at all.
Continued efforts have been made, by
Democratic neighhors, and finally he has
been appointed.

The GAINESVILLE Stdn1a5devidcnt-
ly thinks that all newspapers in the state
which during the past winter have in any
manner partaken of the lavish bounty of
the Legislature or state officers. are estop-
ped from saying a word against the recl-
less and eXtravagant system Of things out
Of which these specific abuses flow. This
might be a very convenient doctrine for
those who hold the public purse; while
they are scattering with reckless and la
wish hand the hard-carned money Of the
people. 1t would be a fine thing for them
to have those who alone can publish their
wrong doings to their employers, con-
demned 10 silence. because their own dish
which is always supposed to be right side
mp. happens to he Il partial recipient Of
the golden shower. We don't conceive
such to be the position or duty of the
press.
The public have no more 60 do with
the personality Of an editor than with that
of any other individual; in fact they have
no right to know that the We" which
speaks from the editorial columns is rep
resented at all in flesh and blood Ed
tors are probably on the average neither
better or worse than the rest of mankind;
they are mixed up with the faults and
follies Of the world with others. but we
do not understand that newspapers are
estopped therefore from preaching reform.
Ue believe all trade and commerce is a
swindle-that law phySic and newspapers
too. many of them, are humbugs-we be-
lieve in the perfectability of huma nifty
in the restoration of Eden to the Earth.
and many other things Of similar ma
ture, but because we do not find every
thing just as we want it. and cannot eff
feet a revolution in twenty-four hours,
we shall not therefore become an ascetic
or seal our mouth from doing what we
can for the worlds reform.
We do not conceive that because slack
Bunner' may possibly like glass of beer
that the editor Of the Standard is estop-
ped from preaching temperance. 1t might
be better for him perhaps not to drink
the beer but If understands the neces-
sites and beauties of temperance. his rea-
ders are entitled to the benefit of it.
We want stationery and have newspa-
pers to sell and while the state gives away
one and buys the other, it can overlook
Us or not, as it pleases, bat we cannot be
bri, ed to silence with reference to a sys-
tenn Of government which tolerates such
things.
