"A NEWSPAPER conducted by Gle

lie acts of public men. In fact now
adays, it is admitted, that it has
right to print what it pleases about
public officers or aspirants for pub
lie office, so long as it is true, is not
malicious and is proper for public
information. This should be as wide
liberty as any decent newspaper
should ssk, and no indecent one
should be allowed to pass beyond its

sure defense of private citizens
against even the malicious pubiica
