THE PRESS.

The superiority and asceudency which the
public journal has acquired over the influence
offorensic effort in shaping and moulding pop,
.ular sentiment and giving impetus and direc-
Sfons to social or political mutatlofs is pat
eat to cverv obseryaat mind. Senator Thur
man says in his recent address before the Int
crazy Societies Of the University of Virginia,
that sit. has been said that orators govern re-
v,.bljcs but if the remark we're ever true, it
Is true no longer. Had every member OF
Congress the eloquencc OF Demosthenes, he
could net mould public sentiment against a
press whose daily issues exceed l,3Oo ,Uoo,
and furnish daily mental food to millions OF
readers" He speaks truly and wisely. The
Gay Of oyatorcal sway and dictation seems to
have passed away and new era OF calm re-
section and deliberate independent exercise
of individua, opinion has succeeded it. lo
legislative bodies it is true that We are ocea-
s:onally fascinated by some masterly achieve
meuts, in logic, or dazzled by the sparkle
and sheen CT rhetorical fancy; but they fall
en- cars accustomed to studied efforts, and the
merely sporadic impression they may make,
dies away with the last intonatlons of the
. SPEAKERS voice The intelligent sufraglst OF
10 dsv goes for enlightenment to the columns OF
his oauer. aud not to The crowded and dusty
political gathering The prccepts and doc

yictions and which must materially tort1iy
ao,l strengthen them, are those culed from
the grsges Of the printed journals and read
ty the quiet OF his iresiae. The tu'ore and
,3n,tl of the public meeting. with its attend

and ncrmaneut influence; and more power

more peraaueut, because it is the result OF
Yatient and free and honest investigation.
The crow,ls that were swoyed by Demos
thames from the Rema, were not readers;
and had Rome her daily newspapers we dare
saw that with all the magic power of An
shoay's voice, the crowd would never have
hcea Tired to violence by his apostrophe to
.,poor dead Caesars wounds.
