scribes the personal appearance of Napoleon
Ill. He is grizzed, cadaverous, and lame
in the left hip, and labors to conceal this last
defect. His walk is awkward. He turns out
bis toes, and leans heavily on the strong stick
he carries in his well gloved hand. Heis care
fully dressed; but, though his coat fits him very
accurately, he has nothing of the air of per
fectly-dressed man. His figure IS not improv-
ed by the cuirass which his coat will not con-
ceal. Every step he takes is studied, while
his eye scans every passer-by with look which
has something uncanny in its expression"

mentable. Men, from motives Of interest,"
voluntarily sell themselves to party, ana,
with their eyes open, become the propa-
gandists of error and untruth. But even
this is not the worst form of newspaper
prostitution In all well-establshed con
Germs there is apt to be conservatism oil
the treasury, which is more slavish and
less respectable than any other form o.
moral meanness connected with the trade.
There is, pcradventure, a job Office, whose
interest is to be promoted and whose busi-
ness extended by judicious use of puff
cry and cajolery of men and things in the
editorial columns. There are classes
which, for the profits accruing in various
ways from their friendship, require to be
fattered, and which soon find how easy it
is to control the sentiment of the Journal
that is fishing for their support-to sup
press truth and circulate falsehood. The
disease, once admitted, grows wider and
wider, taking in q still enlarging field,
until the whole thing, in all its depart
ments, changed from its true employment
and become the mere instrument of the
avarice of its proprietors, stands perpet-
ually offensive example of untruth, timid
ity and insincerity.

the county in which they are respectively pub

doubles and qtadrupIes the present postage on
newspapers of general circulation. r And yet,
in the third place, it refuses to abolish the
franking privilege. In other words, remarks
the New York "Tribune," the Senate refuses to
make all who use the mails pay for such use,

nearly double, in order 10 cover the cost of car
