Of the Party PreSs-SOme Specimen

The PRESIDENTIAL CGnteSt-The Degradation
OF the Party Press-SOme Specimen
Bricks.
From ne N. Y Herald
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, who, although
tire-eater, has always been something of a
philosopher, once upon a time, on the lower
floor of Congress, thanked God that there was
not newspaper in his (the Accomac) Dis
trict. He had seen enough of the vulgar per-
sOnaliies and scandalous accusations of the
Richmond party press of that day to be thank
tul that there was no newspaper within the
limits of his baliwick. Nor, with all our
'modern improvements" since that time, has
party journalism, North or South, improved
in the matter of decency. 1t is, as 1t was,
disgrace to the American press and a scandal
to the country. Appealing to the basest pas
sions and prejudlces OF the baser sort, it
81 ocks the moral sense of hOnest-thinking men.
We give this morning, elsewhere in these
columns, specimen editorial from a leading
Republican organ, and q sample from very
pretentiOus Democratic organ, and some other
extracts, as illustrations OF the reason why the
aforesaid Wise, in his Chinese isolation, felt
thankful to God that there was no newspaper
in his Congressional District.
First we will glance at leader from the
New York Tribune, headed "Vallaudigham on
the Finances" in which these dainty passages
occur to strengthen the argument:-"Mr. Val
landigham deliberately lies" "Whoever con-
trOverts this is a foolish reckless liar" "Any
villain who now says they (the fve-twenties)
are pay able in greenbacks would as readily say
they should never bs paid at all; "Mr.
Vallandigham says the bondholder paid only
five hundred dollars for bond calling for
a thousand. Herein the villain lies no less
basely than before" "Mr. Valandigham says
that he is in favor of 'one currency for all, and
gold for ALL In this he lies as usual" and so
on, with "knavery," ''swindling," 'scoun-
| drelism" and "indeIibe infamy," TO the end
! OF the chapter. These are pet phrases with
! the Tribune humauitarians. II was from the
! mild and benevolent Greeley that his party
