IN
The public press has become mn
Important element in society, and in
the affairs of mankind generally.
Newspapers are the lungs through
which public opinion breathes, and
at the same time mirror holding up
to view the occurrences of daily life.
Yet, great men and deep, thinkers
hayesd differed as to the proper mode
of conducting them. Bishop Horne
said of them: h
rsThe follies, vices and consequent
miseries of multitudes, displayed in
q newspaper, are so many admoni-
tlons aud warnings, so many beacons,
continually burning, to turn others
from the rocks on which they have
been 81 wrecked
! Another writer, Fisher Ames, takes
a different view of the subject, and
says: 4
s"The increasing fashion for print
ing wonderful tales of crimes and ac-
cidents is worse than ridiculous, as it
corrupts but the public tastes and
morals. 1t multiplies fables, pro-
diglous monsters, and crimes, and
thus makes shocking things familiar,
while it withdraws all popular atten-
tion from familiar truth, because it is
not shocking. Surely extraordinary
events have not the best title to our
studious attention. To study nature
orman we ought to know things that
are in the ordinary course, not the
unacoountable things that happen out
of it." hs
There is much truth in this view of
the duties and mission of the news
paper, especially rs it is conducted in
the large cities of the United States.
The ,sickening details of crime, are
almost daily too fully and forcibly
given in the columns of the city
newspapers of the present day. Pro
prietors employ active and indus
trious reporters to give full details of
all kinds of crime and IMMORAL acts,
from murder, Grim. con-, down to the
frequent poundings of two human
brutes, in common parlance, prize
fights. And yet, as Cowper says, the
newspaper is ''a map of busy life," it
is difficult for publishers to ignore
these daily occurrences in life. But
the power and example and Influences
OF tue press should always be exer-
cised for the promotion of right,
Justice and truth. The tone of a
community is often taken from that
of its newspapers.

The President, so far as party
journalism goes, appears to be be-
tween two fires. The New York
H.t6uneis not pleased at the attempt
Of, some of the anti-fndical journals,
to make the Republican party re-
sponsible for the policy Of Congress,
as we'll as for the policy Of the Presi-
dent, or rather for the pernioious
effects OF the conflict of the two. In
the 1}Tb,n,e's own delicate English,
,"the party is assailed, and an attempt
is made to carry us before sbe coun-
try, not only responsible for our Owl
shortcomings, but-God help us!-
for the infamous acts of the Presi-
dent" Again, it says: sAfter hav-
ing tried to carry johnson through
two elections, they insist that he be-
longs to us, and that we must carry
him; johnson is rs much Repnbli-
can as Arnold was patriot, after his
treason"
On the other side, the New York
World is unwilling that the Prcsi-
dent, with his great weight of un-
popularity" shall be classed with the
Democratic party. 1t says:
"The contention between him and
Congress is fight within the Repub-
ican party. The distracted condition
of the country is chargeable upon the
party that elected both the President
and the majority of Congress, and we
expect no relief or remedy but in the
overthrow of that party. The Re-
publicans cannot fix upon us any part
of the odium which has resulted from
their own success in the elections.
Let the fault lie where it may, we are
responsible for no part of it. We
have not been in power We are no
moro answerable for the Republican
President whom we did not elect,
and have not been permitted to ad-
wise, than we are for the Republican
Congress which has kept up perpe-
tual quarrel with him. Mr.. johnson
is you President, Messrs. Republi-
cans, not ours; from your party he
has taken all his responsible advisers;
on you he has bestowed all his offices;
he has kept you in power by mistakes
and blunders more scrviceable to yon
than cooperation; and whether you
deem him blessing or banc, its
origin is, i'll either case, to be traced
to your selection and your votes"
Let the President carve out for
himself Il party those who will sus-
tain him in his efforts to maintain
the Constitution and the laws. He
need not seek favor from the leaders
OF either party-as they now exist
he can do without them, and save the
country.

CHEAP, WAY OF ENCOURAGING Is1aII-
aRATIoN.-The Western States have
wisely encouraged immigration by
sending agents abroad, diffusing
statistical information, and by other
Inexpensive, means. The result has
been quickening of emigration, and
that, too, OF n class of people who are
capable of comprehending the great
material advantages OF the West.
One of the least expensive systems
adopted for the encouragement of
immigration is that devised last win
ter by the Wisconsin Legislature. A
law was passed authorizing the ap-
pointment of State Board of Immi-
grafton, consisting of the Governor,
the Secretary of State, and three
persons named by the Governor.
This Board receives the cooperation
of county committee in each coun-
ty, also appointed by the Governor
The Board haa authority to collect
statistics concerning the climate, pro-
ducts, population and resources of
Wisconsin, togeth er with statement
of the best routes to the State from
the leading cities of Europe, and to
print this information in the Eng
lish, German and Scandinavian Ian
guages. The appropriation for this
purpose is but $4,000, the Commits
sioners receiving no pay. The coun-
ty committees are to make out dupli-
cate lists of the names and post Office
address of such relatives and friends
of the inhabitants of the county as
are living abroad, and to send one
copy to the State Board, which fur
nishes the county committees with
sufficient number of pamphlets to
supply ali the persons named in their
lists, the postage being prepaid by
the State.
