Mr.. EvLgKII AsD THE NLw-foRK LEDGER.-A
great ceal Of censure has been bestowed upon Mr..
Everett because he consented to write for the New
York LEDGER, upon any terms. Many editors say
that such an arrangement is degradiog 10 Mr.. Eve
rettbat man of su n emiDeIce, learning and pOpu-
4 l..,f
the LEDGER.
Now, all ris kind Of talk is most papable
Mr. Everett; bas special, good and noble mission to
accom- plish, to which he has devoted much time,
physical and mental lzbcr-i. e.. the purchase of
Mount Veroon. To this end be has Travelled tne
try over, delivering his great lecture Washington;
aud that the object may be attained il is necessary
that he hOuld reach, IN some way, the masses OF tle
people.
No other medium OF communication can give him
access to the people equal to the NewYork LEDGER,
de this paper has circulation Of over four nur
dred thousand copies weekly and its readers may be
safely estimated az one million.
We cay that here lies tie grand reason why Mr..
Everett should accept the liberal propnsition made
BIN by Mr.. Bonner, whereby be not only gained at
ten thousand dollars 10 the Mount Vernon Fnnd
but Lad the opportunity opened Ia him of speaking 10
ore million VI Americans, week y, for wloe ye,r.
We contend tba; be hss acted wisely 10 this matter
and by this ore oct has s.eured the speeder
plishneDt Of his noble purpose.
Aside from this view Of the tubject-the furtheranoe
OF The hontt Nerton purchase that viii inevitably be
the direct resuh Of this nrsDgement-we thiGk that
Mr.. Everett Is doing very hteOus thog in consent
ing 10 write for journal that is weekly visitor
10 three hundred thousand faInihes. What neld of
labor for dou good is here opened 10 the true man
Think o. II for moment: Edward Everett, the
itatetmsn, the s,holar the refined gentleman
enter three hundred theu,and homes each week, aud
talk 10 the people, at their own fresides upon such
subjects AZ shall have an elevs.bg purifying Dtilence
upon their hears and lives And what man Of sense
can eeIy him the privilege
II Mr.. Bonrer can improve bis paper, and is able to
engage such men Mr.. Everett ss writers, should il
rot b Of rejcicing rather than censUre ~ all
Iight-ninoed persons' For one, We are glad that II
s So and look upon th. arrangement as q gres, step
forward II jOuTnslisni-es evidence that the
paper to be the grand teacher and eev aor Of the
masses Of men. II Mr. Everett has any great
thoughts that shall do good To humanity, be speak
them rov, as with the power Of million tongues.
No preacher on earth eau command such q multitude
OF hearers and of such diverse characters We bsgu
10 feel that the power Of the press is vain boast
when We know that half million Of sheets ara cent
out weekly from office, laden With the great
thoughts the greatest minds of the age.
