Df there is a legitimate right possessed BY
the press Of this country, it is that Of CRITICS
ing, and commenting upon, the acts, conduct
and forensic efforts Of public men. The peo-
| pie cannot be too well informed of The charac
ters and capacities of such men; and if in do
ing SO on The part Of The press. the erposs
proves unfavorable TO them, they will have to
blame themselves and hot the medium which
the people looks to for their instruction and di
rection in public affairs.
These remarks were caused By a statement
or remark whieh We understand was made in
Baton Rouge, to the effect lbal We had given
an unfair report Of Mr. Watterston's speech in
this place, and pointed to the following express
sion in thai review, stated as made by Mr..
Watterston, which was pronounced uutrue and
injurious to that gentleman
- and asked Lby SIR. WatterstonI how
could they vote for such a pslam-singins. Nelho-
distical oil - Tom Green Davidson3 We in
sert a blank as We forget the balance of the ex-
preston
Previous to the above, Mr. Watterston sta>
ted that he had been educated q Catholic, that
he was as good a Catholic as the best of them
in the Codrtshouse, and then came the above
Interrogation.
No" we can produce abundant evidence. If
the affair was of the Importance to justify it,
that Nr. WattersIon not only said the above,
but that he said more than the above, that he
made use of the expressions OH two separate
occasions, and that our report throughout was
better than the facts justified. One,gentlemau
reminded us that the word ~hypocrite" was
used where we insert the blank aud another
stated that the words praying" and "cryirg"
were also used in connection with the above
expression. So much for so much.

The Charge against j Judge wasterston.

1t will be recoIlected that the charge against
Judge Watterston, which led 10 the reneontre
between himself and Samuel Matthews, Esq
of this place, was one of official corruption.
as stated by a third party, by the Judge Tefus~
ing to grant certain injunction unless 4 GERS
tain attorney was employed in the suit. We
have nothing to do with bis private difficulty,
and VIZ entertain no personal i'll feeling to-
wards Judge Watlerston, but he cannot supS
pose. placed ia his present position as cam
didate for one of the most important offices in
the Republic, that either the press or the peo-
pie will be silent or satisfied until the charge
alluded to is cleared up. The charge. as We
intimate above, did not originate with Dir.
Matthews, and we ara sure that he never made
a handle of it to effect injury TO Judge Watt
~terston, or did more than casually mention the
Circumstance, to justify himself for not sup
porting the nominee of his party.

UTAH.-We see by an extract from the
New York Herald, that President Buchan-
an; has been wholly unable to find any
thing in the Constitution authorizing him
to interfere with Brigham Youngs matri-
monial or religious arr ngemerts, and that
the troops to be sent out will receive orders
10 leave all such matters alone. When
jackson renewed the deposits be did no,
study The Constitution more than three
months, aud although Congress passed a
vote Of censure upon him, he is now, regar
ded as the model President by the Dem
ocratic party. The whole trouble in Kan
sas was caused BY the application of this
miserable, temporising policy; and now VIC
are to have the same scene re-enacted in
Utah. 1t is queer fact that men have
not yet learned that It is easier to checkevli
in infancy than after it has arrived at ma
turity, aud strengthen itself by interla-
eng with laws and government. Nobody
viii pretend 10 deny that the atrocities in
Utah must BE stopped, polygamy and all,
aud why, in the name Of common sense,
do government think to eyade the respons-
ibitv of checking it at once? If Presi-
dent Buchanan can't find any authority in
the Constitution, let him borrow Chief
Justice fancy spectacles. = Western Fire

Poi,ticaI Grand Juries.

Senator Douglas delivered his recent
speech at Springfield upon the invitation
|of the United States grand jury. We pre-
sumo that no body of respectable men
could be found in Illinois to give him an
invitation to speak except those who are
in the pap of the general government.
The Springfield Journal, in e pungent
paragraph, thus aludes to the action Of
the grand JURY:
"Party favorites are almost exclusively
selected by these officials, and in return
for the distinguished honor thus bestowed
upon theitl, they are required to attend
to the political as we'll as the judicial af
fairs Of tie state. Such, AT least, has got
to be the case with the court OF which We
are speaking. The jnrymen Of that court,
formed, we believe, with but one excep-
ton, Of bogus and know-nothlng democrats
have an idea that it is not travelling out of
the sphere of their legitimate labors to
dance attendance, like inps, upon the
great men of their party, and to leave the
business for which they are summoned, to
deal with pariizan politics.
''Senator Douglas should have had more
tdelicacy than to have sanctioned such a
breach Of etiquette on the part of that
body, even though the jury were gross j
lacking in their ideas Of propriety. But
he seems to have been the instigaIor of
The whole affair We shall in future,
we Suppose, be regularly treated by the
Ipro-slayery grand juries Of the United
States courts, to these political tea-parties,
for the purpose Of keeping up'and strength
ening the great national democratic or
gaaization."
This thing Of Federal Grand 5uries Ia
king part IN the politics Of tie State may
be new n[lInois, but not new III Wisconsin.
The like in our State used to excite com
ment, but lately it is such a common thing
for nine tenths Of the Federal District
Grand Juries of Wisconsin, chosen by
Judge MiIIsr's Clerk and Marshal, to be
fedcralists of the anti free labor stripe,
that nobody expects to hear OF anything
else. 1t is expected that the ears OF such
are open to Judge Miler's 'swhole nights of
meditations' upon these obstruce niger
