The Radicals, at the North, and elsewhere,
make freedom Of speech and freedom Of
the press plank in their platform, on paper.
Now that Military law prevails in the South,
let US see if that plank is to be taken out or to
be dropped out. Let the press at the South
be free, and let it speak on public matters, and
about public affairs, without being shackled by
"ordera," or restricted by "warnings, or
threatened with punishment Give ia free
press, and trial by honest iuries, and liberty
may not be entirely extinguished in this country.
