This is not only an exceedingly foolish
way Of proceeding; not only insures its
own punishment BY encouraging a race Of
journalists who viii never speak the truth
except when likely to please, but it does
more than almost anything else to lower
the American people in the estimation OF
all civilized nations. We care not what
the destroyed journals published. If trea-
sonaLle matter. then the writers ought to
have been punished in due course of law.
and not by mob. But If tn. matter was
not trea>ouable. but only false or vexa-
tious. then its undisturbed publication
ought to have been permitted. Its sup
pressiou BY violence is = proof that, in
Concord cr Bangor at least. freedom Of
opinion dpes not exist; aud the complacen-
cy with which the act appears to be gen.
erally regarded would perhaps justify US
in believing that other and more widely
extended localities are equally fortunate.
