Wholesale Arrest of DemOCra-
tic Editors.

General Wadsworth with a squad of
armed men from Washington, accompa-
MED by the Provost Marshall visited Har-
risburg and caused to be arrested and
kidnapped. MIessrs. Barrett, Mcdowell,
Foster and Jones, editors of the Patriot
and Union, and ordered them TO be incar-
cerated i'll one of the dungeons of Fort
McHenry. The offence was that of a
handbill having been printed in that office,
by the apprentice boys, and posted up
through the city as a hoax, calling upon
the colored men of Harrisburg to enlist in
colored regiment to be commanded by
Jim Lane.
Messrs. Barrett & Mcdowell, deny all
knowledge of the affair, and assert that ii
was hoax of the boys of the office to
have some fun with the niggers, and that
had they known it, they would not have
allowed any such play card TO have been
issued from their office.

slanderous attack upon his character.
..Why do YOU not hang the man % asked
Humboldt, III astonishment. "Put the
paper in your pocket" said Jefferson, with
n smile, ''and, on your return TO your
own country, if any one doubts the free
dom OF our press, show it to him, and tell
him where You found it." Thus by pre-
cept and example did those sages teach us
to observe that document, with all It's IN
functions, and if we do not follow their
admonitions and keep inviolate that sa-
cred bequcst, in vain did they give their
fortunes and their lives; if we allow the
Constitution of our fathers to be nullified
and cast into the shades of oblivion, then
for naught did Cromwell bleed. Invain are
we fiehting. IF the freedom of the press
and of speech are annihilated, our free
schools and literary institutions are useless
and education becomes vain boast; for
upon these depend. the longevity of self
government and the cquanimity of Its
sovereigns, the people, and we may here
quote with propriety from one of the mes
sages of George Washington, during his
Presidency, to the people, There is no
resource so firm for the Government OF
the United States, as the affections of the
people, guided by an enlightened policy,
and to this primary good nothing can CON
duce more than faithful representation
| of public proceedings diffused without re-
straint throughout the United States
The consequence of the fightful calam-
itv which has disunitcd our country TO,
day, is that of having disregardcd tn,
wise teachings of our fathers; and tn,
restoration Of the Union and the prcser
vation of the Constitution can only b,
done by coming back to the old princi
pies of Jacksonian Democracy.

The SCARCITY OF CH>NGE-It Is
most annoying and nearly an impossibility
for business men 10 get along for the want
of small change TO make up the fractions
of dollar. The sudden disappearance
of all the gold and silver coin, can only
be accounted for By coniecturing and be-
lieving that every one who has a little bit
of silver is holding on 70 it and afraid TO
let it 90, lest, forsooth, the country all
goes to sticks-and he then would have
nothing to fall back on. Now this Is most
fiagrantly wrong ii is just the way to
create Il panic and make hard times.
Money was invented, not TO be boarded
up, but for currency 10 facilitate busi-
ness of every kind; therefore let no man
sink" that which is 50 essential TO every
day commerce: keep the small change
afoat and u>e it for It's legitimate purpose
and YOU will foil the schemes of money
! shavers and spectators and supposing u
general bankruptcy, a dollar or two here
or there, Is of little consequence TO any
man, and money which is lying hid in a
vault or some old greasy purse Is of use
to nobody, not even the Posses~or, and the
miSer who gratitieS his avariciouS appetite
by boarding away the common currency
of the community, is a worthless dronC
upon society.

Tue Liberty of the Press.


The greatest glory of free born people.
Is to transmit that freedom 20 their chill
drcn."
The liberty of the press, and the free
dom Of speech, the two great prerogatives
of the Constitution and the legitimate re-
quisites which constitute the basis of self
government, to-day, appear, either not to
be properly appreciated, or else not rightly
understood, neither by a large portion of
the people nor by the rulers of the nation,
who instead of extending and encouraging
those sacred privileges, seem disposed, we
are sorry to say, to muzzle and crush out
those guaranteed rights, especially the
freedom of the press. Now why is this? I?
1t Is because they are ashamed Of their
acts and wish TO conceal and keep in the
dark those things which the people have a
right to know, or can it be, alas, that our
cause Is so weak that 1t will not bear the
light Of reason, or our principles, so rotten
a. not TO be able to stand the test of free
discussion! We know, by the chronolo-
gv of the past, that wherever there was a
damPer placed upon these liberties, that
ignorance and barbarianism were the re
suits, and we know too, on the other hand,
that the intelligent and well informed man
makes the best citizen, under whatever
form of government you find him. 1t is
through the medium of the press and BY
the intelligence of the people, that we
have stcered to prosperity; and the honor
and dignity of the nation owe much to
the liberty of the press, from whose fecun-
dOus womb the fostcred arts and sciences
have been brought forth, and by whose
logic offspring the shades of superstition
were removed and the tyrant grasp cut
loose and

II Is needless here 10 quote the Consti-
tuition i'll defence of these great preroga-
tives which were bought with the blood OF
our foretuthers and bequcathed to us as g
part of their richest legacy, the Constitu-
ton, under the protection of which many
an obscure genius has risen TO honor and
distinction. But alas, to-day, we find
certain newspapers discarded from the
mails and Democratic editors arrested
