TIE COCRlER-JOCRyAL.

We have noticed of late il lament
able falling OFF in the dignity and
good taste OF the Louisville Courier
Journal. Even It's attempts at vii
are remarkable for nothing but
coarseness and vnIgarlty. The slarg
phrases, in which it seems TO ,iike
especial pride. are diSgraceiu! in IA
paper claiming to rank among the
first literary and famii. Journals of
the South. There was IA tim, when
the COurier-JOMrnaI was read with
DO ordinary pleasure-wi.en the e.

tIss glOwed and sparkle tiroug!,>
cut its ,lumns, and which invested
even Lis severest satires with IA
pleasing charm. The present editors
have endeavored to sustain it's for
mer character for wit and satire, hut
their attempts have proved misrra-
BILE failures, which are not only dis
reputable in paper of high charac
ter, but an insult to the memory OF
the deceased editor whose genius
and talents made it famous in the.
annals of journalism.
A paper printed in he back " Gods.

Journal of the 11th inst but for /,
journal that makes the least preten
siOns to decrncy, they are not only
disgusting, but objectionable. A
paper occupying so high il POSITION
should use its columns to refine pub
lie sentiment and exaIt the standard
of taste ansl dignity. This the pub
lie expect of 1t, and which its pat
roI., at least, have a right to de-
mahd. A large share of the pat
ronage of that paper goes from the
South, and as her people are neith
er beathens nor vuiearianS, they
would much prefer little more par
ticulariiy in the matter and styl e of
some of its editorials.
There is a marked difference in
the tone and spirit OF tie Courier
Journals original matter. and ii
little mnre uniformity (of the better
siyle) would not onl, add greatly to
its dignity, but relieve it of much
that is coarse and inelrgant.
We have penned these STRUCTURES
