TAKING UMBRAGE AT ADVICE. The
New York Tribune, thoroughly posted
as to the corrupt appliances brought
into requisition by the Radical party
in all election contests, calls upon the
Connecticut Republicans TO be honest
in tho pending canvass, and not cor.
rupt voters, as was the case in New
Hampshire. AT this somc of tho lead.
ing Radical journals take umbragc,
and plainly intimate that tho Tribune
bad better mind its own business. =
The N. j. State Gazette, rabidly Radi.
cal, snappishly shows its chagrin, by
saying; "Can't il think of some other
nice plans for helping the Democrats
along" Could more unblushinp
admission of gross Radical desire 10
corrupt the ballot be cited than this
But that is their only road to success.

quently made his escape, and after
wandering for three months in the
forests, succeeded in returning safely
to this county.

Influence of the Press.

The newspaperpress in this coun-
try is . tremendous power. The
strength an(aperpetllity ofthe ma
tion, the hehappinessand enlightenment
Of our people, depend upon the
political opinions entertained and
put in practice by them. These
political opinions are derived main
" from the press; tor the press is
not only the conseryator ofpoliti-
cal intelligence, but is also the in
structor, OF school-master through
the influence Of which, the great
mass Of the people are taught polit-
ical knowledge and duty. It's
opinions formed and inculcated are
professedly based upon the founda-
tions of truth, justice and necessity.
1t takes hold Of every question and
weighs it in these balances. In its
news department, from statistics,
actual examples, and other sources,
its general spirit is to impart cor
rect principles Of morality 1t is
therefore retormatory in its general
character. We speak now of our
daily and weekly political press,
and do rot include that class Of In
decent illustrated literature, and
some not illustrated, whose para
mount design and effort seems to be
to encourage vice and licentious-
ness. Some have thought, howey-
er, that the tendency of our daily
and weekly press is evil, from the
fact that crimes and evil deeds are
narrated in all Of their native de-
pravity, even to the minntest de-
tails. While some ofthem may do
this without appropriate comments
of condemnation, or without show
ing a proper distinction between
right and wrong in every instance,
the great majority Of them publish
these details as a matter of news,
with wholesome comments, uphold
ing the pure and condemning the
evil, and we therefore think that the
general tendency of this department
is designed to promote virtue and
truth. In the heat Of political dis
cussion, while freely, as should be
done, criticising public men and
measures, there is then most danger
Of zeal overtoppling prudence and
honest dealing. Fair discussion
and candid disputation is too often
permitted to degenerate into person
al vituperation and abuse. This is
the most obnoxious feature connect
ed with our newspaper political dis
cussions. The policy and doings Of
public men, their official conduct,
are public property, and legitimate
subjects Of newspaper criticisms
their worthy deeds should be ap-
| plauded, and their eyiiones, ifany,
condemned; and their crimes should
be held up mall Of their enonnity
