satisfaction of spite entertained against
him by persons concerned in the prose.

1t is so seldom that We can agree with
the San Francisco Alta, that an oppor-
tuEity to do SO is too precious to be lost.
That paper says: 80 Butler, Carpen-
ter, and even Poland, who also got
smirched by the Credit Mobiier steal,
would drag every editor, conductor or
proprietor, who offends, in exposing
their acts, to Washington, where their
trial would be about equal in fairness
and justice as that of captive by body
of Sioux, or a detective by jury OF
thieves summoned from the cells of Sing
Sing Now is it not a remarkable thing
that the press throughout the length and
breadth OF the land. with some trifling
exceptions, is unit in condemning the
action of these pitful conspirators.
Papers of all classes, OF all different
political affinities, however much they
differ in other things, agree in resisting
this treacherous attempt to reduce them
to subservency. We are glad to welcome
the Alta, among others. as a coworker in
defending the liberty of free speech.
This dearly won and highly priced right
will be made one of the principal issues
during the present campaign. II should
be recollected that the measure that as
saulted this precious privilege was orig
mated by Republican members and
passed by Republican Congress. We
would like to know whether that party
adopts as its own, the restrictive act
passed at the last session. In this State
the question is the more pertinent as
already Of the two papers that are sup
posed to be strictly zen rapport with
the administration party III this State,
one, the Carson Appeal, openly sup
ported the Carpenter bill, and the Enter
prise refers to that of Poland's in a very
unsatisfactory indecissive article, in
which it is more concerned in making
excuses for the authors than in reprobat-
ing the object of q vilainous measure
The time of the conventions are close
at hand and the people will be particu-
larly interested in hearing what they
have to say about the gag bill, the meas
ure destroying the school system, back
pay grabbing, etc. Above all, it is es-
sential that the position of the several
parties should be distinctly and unmis-
takably defined as to the first. 1t is no
use to do like Beecher-talk about every
thing else but the matter in hand-but
men and parties will have to give plain
and direct answer to the simple question
Are you for free speech or not?
