In all our connections or associations
with the Press, we have cordially recoc-
nized, to certain extent, that the public
possessed an unquestioned right to the
greater portion of the blessings to be deri-
we'd from the glorious lights and truths
which It is capable of shedding abroad
In this belief, We have ever denied the
right of licenticus and corrupt men to con
troll 1t exclusively for the accomplishment
of their own wicked and mercenary pur-
poses, or as Vehickle through whose
mighty Influence, their bitter low and con-
temphble snappings and snarlngs should
be spread broadcast over the world--reach-
ing not only the political in and out door
circles, but theological, scientific and other
more discriminating understanding not
only the great yet perhaps more careless
observing masses--but the sancti.y of the
domestic and social circle, where the youth
full and deeply interesting mind which is
Just beginning to grasp for the moral and
intellectual riches of the age in which it
should delight to live and blossom as the
rose" are subject to their communicating
touch. We say we have ever repudiated
the right of such characters to the exclus.
i've use of this mighty and noble engine
the Press. 1t is either public blessing
or ills public curse, AMI as the latter. has
the Marshall County Republican become.
Ever since its whining, sycophantic ed
itor, Ignatius -Kaaingly. has had any per-
son, place or thing in this community, at
who or which lie could suap and snarl, or
tense. he has been the willing instrument
in the hands of any party, person or organ
ization--under the cloak of a moral (?) in
dependence-to do up all OF their dirty
work ION short notice and on reasonable
TERMS" as the advertiser would say.
We have carefully watched him. As
we loved the Press and its high and noble
vocation, and so long--near thirty years
one Of its humble contributors. we felt no
reluctance or compunctions in doing so-
1t was our privilege-it was our dut.
1t must be the very nature and constitu-
tional make of the man, and it is possible
that he cannot help it.
Talk to him of higher and nobler sub.
jects. and he Is mum. Scientific or theo-
logical investigations never enter his con.
fused brain. He has no high toned or noble
thoughts to spare upon the great and excl
ting political questions which do and
should interest the entire country. And
when emergencies Of the right Kind call fol
the welding of the "old mans" pen upon
the subject of politics at all, he is seldom
engaged in it, unless he can make some
vile aud filthy use it; thus in his native
and familiar element, basely and unpar.
dondonably prostitute the Press. Such
though not enouga--is lgnatius Mattingly
We are not wanting in ample proof o.
these too familiar truths Even in the un-
fortunate domestic trouble between N. R
Packard and his late wife, this contempti
bic swapping and snarling old-well we
will simply say man commenced the res
direction Of that lamentable difficulty, be
fore the deceased Mrs. P. was much more

Lieutenant General Scott arrived here

officers of the government. He. came on
business relative to San Juan Island dis
pute. The present indications are, he will
