OUR POSITION.

Our last issue contained q brle
allusion to certain parties, who, dis
pleased with our utterances, had dis
continued their subscriptions.
In itself, this is a small matter, bu'
if the idea exercising these gentle
men wer. carried to it's Legitimate
conclusion, hcw disastrous would b'
the result! What would become o
the newspaper and Of the editor?
For, as no two individuals = SEA
the same fact in precisely the SAME
light, nor entertain identical belief
on my one subject, and AS the editor
would be obliged to please each one
of his readers, although holding di
verse opinions, it is lamentsbly cIe"'
that his career must end briefly in
the insane asylum or poor house,
Let us thank God and the better
spirit which directs and governs our
people, that no such impossibility is
required Of an editor.
Designing politicians have subAi
died newspapers for base purposes
and have dared to insult the intelli-
gence of the American p ople with
printed lies for personal and party
ends; but the fall of Lucifsr was not
swifter than the decadence of these
corrupt journals, and their very
names have become a stencil in the
nostrils Of honest men.
Next to the Bible, the newspaper
should be the most truthful in It's sen.
timents, the most independent in its
u~tterances. the most moral in its con-
duct. Why?
at is the abstract and brief chron-
icle of the time, showing virtue her
own features, scorn her own image,
and the very age and body of the time
his form and pressure"
Certain it is, that in all enlight-
ened countries the newspaper is to-
day more popular and more widely
read than the Bible; and the reason
is, that the former comes into our
homes, bearing the thought and life
of the present moving, living world,
caught, as il we're, on the wing, fresh
from the hearts and homes of all
other men filed with lessons Of life
and death, of love and hate, Of JOY
and sorrow, and ell the passions,
hopes and fears of our common hu-
manity.
DR.. Chalmers said, years ago, that
the best writing and much Of the best
thinking of his day wal done for the
newspapers. Admitting this to be
true, how much have these indispen-
sable requisites improved with the
material advancement Of the news
paper ! The very ablest authors,
scholars, ststisticisns, were educated
to the highest point in specialties-
the subtlest reasoning, the profound
est calculation, the finest Wit, the
kesnest satire, the kindlest humor,
ell find ample scope for their greatest
powers in our leading journals.
And the end is not yet. Daily these
newspapers are growing more liberal
and independent, and daily charging
the sres Of their power and useful
ness not a. blind followers Of party
or creed, but indefatigabIe sesrchers
for Truth and fearless advocates Of
intellectual, social and mate
rial progress.
