Who has forgotten the gross attack Of that
manor vv;tb,n the past eighteen months upon
ca now. charging him with theft and rob
be-v for his official acts in dealing with South
ern rebelsp Why, II friend Adams would
face his own looking glass he would find he is
one of the last men in Christendom who
should complain of defamation.
Nor has he been slow In his kindly greet
ings of our humble efforts and sheet. Before
the Press was half month old he allowed a
correspondent to charge it with "a tredsona-
bic assault upon the Government" becausei 1t
published an article from one Of the truest men
and most amiable gentlemen of our city. Less
than month later it said "the Press is labor
ing for the cause Of JEFF Davis" A few days
later still it said, of the editors of the Press,
eff anybody merits the nauxzle Of a prison
they do" Why, then, should he be SO much
disturbed when, in answer to his own chal
lenge, and in the heat of political discussion,
bit OF his own coin is returned to him in
payment for value received?
The conclusion of the editorial we are mo-
ticing is significant. Here it is:
If the same result disagreement of the ju-
ryl should follow other trials, the conclusion
will be inevitable that judicial tribunals are
not the places for the adjudication and adjust
ment of questions and controversies of this
character, and that redress must be sought
elsewhere and through other INSTRUMENTAL
ties. 4 stA BatsG Il ,aa ag .etsa
This is und erstood to squirt at "cofee and
pistols for two" If the law will not award
damages to a man when his own coin is re-
| turned to him, then redress must be sought
a la Brooksl This is the meaning of this Ian
guage; but does our neighbor realize to what
dangerous tribunal he is appealing? Why,
ifevery man whom he has assailed and DETAINED,
should have taken from his hide particle no
bigger than the thumb nail of mosquito, he
would have been years ago as skinless as an
eel on market hook. he win allow US to
suggest that he has made mistake. he has
used language without considering its import.
We advise him to withdraw it. He will
never vindicate his honor by fighting, any
more than he win his patriotism before a
Maine jury. He can vindicate both by deeds.
/ Take our advice, Bro. Adams, and be more re-
gardful Of private reputation in making up
your own columns, and show that you are
truly loyal by works meet for generous pa
triotism.

The editor OF the Argus, In an editorial up
on his late attempt to put legal poultice
on his wounded honor, betrays anything but
graceful spirit. he needs lesson on the
uncertainty of law, and will yet find out that
of all uncertain things noae are more uncer-
tain than those of doubtful character. AT.
ter failing to satisfy jury that he had cause
Of complaint, it looks badly in him to turn
about and abuse them, as he does in the fol-
lowing paragraph: .s tsS
1t was not for us to assume that men would
be found holding the responsible position of
jurors, who would be either so stupid or SO
prejudiced as to be incapable of rightly judg-
ing case, or SO regardless of the sanctions
of an oath, as recklessly to overstep the obi
cations it imposes to decide according to the
law and the evidence; on the contrary, it was
our duty to presume the exact reverse of this,
and to make a fair trial of the tribunal which
the law contemplates and has established for
this purpose. rs ,sssssss
The following sentence is doubtless correct,
and we take no exceptions to it as common
platitude:
He who deliberately and wantonly libels
his neighbor is more an offender than he
who steals his neighbours goods, and more de-
serving of punishment. An editor thus as
sailed has several modes of redress open to
him. sEat EEf4E 8N3N
Inc reader will naturally inquire whether
tne mantle editor-who thus writes, has
nimseif preserved sheet clean from defama-
ton OF Others. If we have not greatly mis-
judged, very few persons who read this arti-
Gle will dispute the correctness or Justice of
the statement, that no paper haseyer been
published in Maine or New England that has
more grossly INDUCED ia personal defamation
OF official and private character, than thi, same
Argus-the "Lying Argus" as it has been
known for quarter of century.
1t has been one of the most unfair, unscru.
pulous, and malignant papers, in dealing with
political opponents, ever issued from print
ing Office Who has forgotten when its pres
emit editor made the gross and indecent attack
upon brother editor,-Mr. Blaine, then of
the Advertisement stopping with reference
to his political opinions and acts, but diving,
with the greed of q buzzard for hlth, into his
domestic life in another and distant state;
or who has forgotten that, when indicted by
Grand Jury for his offence, spaniel-like he
betrayed spirit of the most cowardly and
fawning character to save himself from just
punishment
