IT is pitiful custom among some men
to deride and dencnnce the motives of a
journalist, whenever lie attempts to expose
wrong or dcnounce abuse. With a GER
tain class most men are regarded US their
victims, to be used, degraded and Cypress:
ed at their will, and when a newspaper
has the independence to expose such con-
duct, or hold up its authors to tie scorn
Of the community, the cry is raised that
the editors or publishers arc pandering to
the prejudices of the people, fattering
their conceit, and administering to their
complaints. It is no crime with these
men to do wrong. tits wrong however
to complain Of or dcnounce fraud-be-
cause the perpetrators Of such fraud hap
pens to be in position, as the servant If
the people Those who imagine that the
Telegraph can be deferred from denounce-
ing fraud, have made u woful miscalcula-
ton, and will live to change their figures
Those who suppose they can make their
position in the Republican party the ex-
cuse for tho neglect Of duty, or, assump-
fion of power, have mistaken the mission
Of Republicanis,n, as well as misapprc-
hended the independence of its organs
If the party is placed in danger by the
malfeasan:o Of those whom it. raised to
power, our vindication OF that party can
only be reached through the dcnunciation
Of the delinquents- and we can recognise

timidate US in the performance Of that
duty, whatever are his antecedents, his in
fluence, his prestige, or his official station.
