Board Of Examiners, but were nevertheless a..

the result Of which was that the origins, d..

The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-04-30

The american is trying very hard to persuade
itself and the community that we have really been
living for ten days past under a reign of terror,
such as has been described in the New York
journals 1t congratulates the public upon hay
ing recovered the "right to think and act. and
"eXpress the opinions they entertain, =" and hopes
there may be "no more censors of the press, "
and that " in the future there will be no attcmpt
ito deny every man the rights of an American
" citizen." If Il censorship has been exercised
over the press here, and if men have been for
hidden to think and speak, we are sure these ap-
palling facts are unknown to most of the residents
of Baltimore. 1t will certainly be q difficult
matter to convince any one here Of the truth of
such statements, in the face of the abundant
proofs to the contrary which can be easily ad-
duced. Immediately subsequent to the out
break in this city more than one paper de-
nounced the proceeding as the work of lawless and
brutal mob; and since that time they have discussed
the affair apparently as freely they desired But
none of these journals, we are glad to say, have
been in any way interfered with, a fact which
goes far to show either that no such mob has ex-
listed here or that it has been effectuay controlled
by the police If, therefore, the american has
hesitated week before initiating the example Of
the journals we have referred to, it by no means
follows that reign of terror has prevented it from
expressing its sentiments. On the contrary, the
fairest differences TO be drawn from lis enforced
silence are, either that with its accustomed eau
ton it waited to see which side would turn out
to be the strongest, or that, with characteristic
timidity, it shrank from the path in which grave
responsibilities might possibly have been encoun-
tnra1
