A FOUL ACT.
From the Shclbyvillc True Union.l

From the S%helbyvil!e True Union'l
AT the instance Of the publishers o.
certain radical newspapers in this State
n bill has been introduced into the Sen
ate to deprive Conservative newspapers
of all share Of the public printing, an(
to concentrate it in the hands Of radi
cal publishers, 1t providcs--lst That
the Governor ehall designate the news
papers in Congrcssiona! Districts in
which all legal advertising shall be
done, the Senate 10 confirm such ap
pointnent. 81, Such newspapers, 80
appointed, shall print exclusively all lc-
Fal advertisements. notices, attach
ments, sales, Nc, and their publication
in any other paper shal! be null and
void. Bird. II raises the printcr's fec
to the same rs the Pablo Printer is
now ailowcd--which Is more than dou-
bic the amount now prescribed, We
do not suppose for 4 moment anything
We might say, would tend TO defeat
this ubiquitous measure, but We wish
10 call attention to it as q tair iilustra
lion Of radical unscrupulousncss and
want Of principle. IT is another grab
at the peoples pockets for the support
Of radical papers, who are doing all
they can TO destroy The liberties Of the
verp people who are thus plonaefcd.
1t violates Tic spirit Of our Bill Of
Rights which asserts the freedom orthe
press, and is an indirect bride offered
the press to support Il political party,
It takes away the right Of the people Of
the counties to say in what papers
their legal advertisements shall appear.
1t forces the people, who are interested
in legal advertising, to take radical pa
Ders whether they are 50 inclined or
not. 1t takes from the proper and lc-
gal officers of the counties and districts
the choice Of the papers in which these
matters shall be printed. 1t is II foul
and infamous proposition, and has no
parallel in the history of any State in
the Union, except in the famous order
OF Gen. Pope in Georgia, which added
as much to his iniamy as any other
net of his ignominious military admin
istration. II concentrates still further
power in the hands of the Governor,
and advances him still nearer to the po-
sition Of an absolute despot. 1t is un.
just, and possesses not n single re.
decming feature. 1t will be n blot and
n stain upon our statute books as long
rs it stands, aud q disgrace to its ina
kers always.
1t may be regarded in some quarters
as a mattcI Of very small public inter
est who shull print these legal advcr
%tisehcnts, and in one sense it may be
but in another sense it is n very grave
matter. AS an invasion Of tho public
liperty, a violation ofthc spirit of the
Bill of Rights rs placing an unheard
of power in the hands of the Governor
and o Senate of his tools; as a meas
ure 10 force people to support papers
whose opinions they despise--it be-
comes q question Of serious concern,
deserving emphatic condemnation. 1t
is but adding to that series of Oppres-
sions, which, il cOntinued, will sooner
or later, inevitably lead to greater dan
gers and disasters.
