VILE ADVERTISING.

We take the following from the Jour
ah If Commerce, one Of the most re-
spectacle Of lhe New York daiies. We
should be glad to see other papers both
in city aud country adopt the same
views in regard to this class Of adycr-
Using.
Some Of the city papers, while de-
nouuciug Che crimes Of the abortionist
Ascher, or Rosenzweig, (and he APP
pears to have Other aliases by which he
was known ia the different murder dens
under his control, and demanding with
much yrtuous indignation The suppress
sion Of such infamies, print that mans
advertisement IN another part Of the
same issue. We do not see by what
process Of logic an honorable Journalist
cau reconcile the direct catering for
such a monster Of society, who tbrives
on the slaughter Of unborn babes, with
the high seuse Of morali,y and decency
which is exhibited in the editorial col
Iumns. We would careiolly avoid max
ing impert'nent remarks upon The con.
duct 81 our contemporaries. We rec
oguize, as a gcncral proposition, ihe
hight Of every newspaper owner to car
~ Oh his bushes in bis own way. But
/ holding, AS We do, that abortion is a
most ncinuus crime, deserving in
equity, although not receiving from
/ law, tine penalty Of death, we cannot
but regard a Journalist who permits the
appearance oi ,hc advertisements of lis
practitioners, in his sheet, as guilty OF
very grave oieusc against public
