some pleasant and instructive reminis-
cences of their editors. His remarks
were very interesting and were listen
ed to with marked attention. Mr..
Walton said that he commenced to
learn the trade when he was but eight |
years old, and he has been constantly
in the harness ever since-eXcept
the three terms he was in congress,
and then his pen was active in cOntrl-
buting for his paper, No man has
done more hard work for the same
length of time, than Mr.. Walton, and
no man in Vermont is more respect
ed by editors or printers than he
Hon. G. W. Willard of the Freeman,
followed Mr.. Walton, giving his views
as to how newspaper should be con-
Quoted in order to be of marked bene-
fit to the reading public; he thought
personalities between editors should be
dispensed with; they were productive
Of no good and much hurt; they caus
ed bitterness, ill-feeling and a spirit
resentment amongst US that should
never attain among men whose office
was to educate and instruct, and the
press should not be a machine merely
to put money in the purse Of the pub
fishers, but should aim to raise
the masses from groveling ignorance
into the light of gospel truth it
should lead the people and not fotloao
them. To all which we say amen.
