LrBeRTr OF the PaEss.-A great fuss has
been made in Charleston, recently, in regard
to the liberty Of the press. The whole mat

an editor, must publish it. This is liberty

but how an editor, exercising his rights to
receive or reject articles sent to his paper for
publication, can do SO, is beyond our com.

FisH.--The person who indulges in mack.
erel next winter will have to pay dearly for
them. JUDGED, from present indications,
people will have TO get along with less meat
and fsh than they have been in the habit Of
consuming, and use larger quantity Of
bread and molasses, which promise to be
cheap.
A correspondent Of dhe Boston Traveller
states tha: the fisheries continue quite unsuc-
cessful. Ofthe mackerel feet several vessels
have not yet returned from their first trip,
while those who arrived have but indifferent
fare, which indicates that the fish are not
very plenty. The prospect now is that
mackerel will rule high. The Labrador cod
Fishery is equally bad. Many Of the vessels
have not yet obtained half fare. The sal
mon fishery, which has usually proved very
lucrative, has totally failed, the fish having
disappeared from their old haunts.

that at the Leavenworth election the FreeState party
had fair opportunity of voting Yet Leayenworth
was accounted Pro-Slavery State lcityl. Why then
