REPRESENTATIVES OF THE Press.
WASHINGTON, D. G.
January ed, 1869.
In this city there are large num-.
Der Of correspondents with the press
throughout the couutry-some are
bona-fide correspondents who have
character and standing in the frater-
nifty, and who endeavor to present
truths to the public, regardless of
party prejudices. There is still an
other class who are ashamed for the
public to know who they are-know.
ing full we'll that their statements TO-
garding public affairs and public men
will not bear close inspection. There
isa class, which, if 1t Tan get more
pay from one side in political issues
will barter Its honor Gift ever had
any COR a pittance and advocate the
claims Of the Numerically opposite
party. As some ore in the Senate
the other day aptly remarked, it
would be well Tor the country to
know who the representatives of the
press arc, that misstatements might
be traced to the party orparties i'm
mediately responsible therefor. Peo-
pie are apt to place too much reliance
upon washington Correspondence"
looming as some of 1T does from q
class too lazy to secure facts, and too
dishonest to tell the truth about
anything or any body if lying will
answer it's purpose quite as we'll. 1

Correspondents with the press
should endeavor to represent public
men and measures fairly and truth
fully. Whom they fail to do this they
detract from the honor of the profess
sion, and bring into contempt those
who seek to render unto Cesar the
things that are Caesars, and unto all
men generally their just dues.
