As it is more than probable that there

gislsture this winter. for the purpose Of
providing for the collection Of the United

HDon't fail to read the great speech
of that old wheel horse of Democracy.
Dan'l s. Dickinson. which we print on the
other side It fails such traitors as the ed
itors of the Democrat alive. and intimates
most distinctly that all such seditious

What about the liberty of the press?--
1t is like . good many other liberties we
enjoy. but has no right to commit q trea-
son. One has no more right TO commit
treason and destroy the Government by a

ment freely and iearlessly. But the one
who has press has no more right to over
throw . Government by reasonable means
in war. than one has by writing treason
without . press. There is no charm O.
