Censorship of the Press.
Under the lottery law framed by Congress and
the instructions given by the PostmasterGeneral TO
his subordi mates throughout the country, there is
serious danger OF encroachments on the liberty OF
the press that should be rebuked and opposed by
the newspapers OF the country without regard to
party lines.
These Postmasters instructed to act as censors
and inspect all secondeiass matter, and whenever
the Postmaster finds, what he considers unlawful
matter, even suspects that articles are of that
character he is authorized to suppress the pubica-
tion and refuse 1t passage through the mails.
This dangerous innovation is claimed under the
speeious pretext OF suppI essing lottery advertise
ments, and so far the public seems to acquiesce
without protest against this new assumption OF
power. II this step meets with popular favor then
the next move will be to examine frst-cass matter
breaking the seals of letters in search OF contraband
publications writings II that be accomplished
then VIII rapidly forget the Louisiana State
Lottery in the multitude OF grounds upon which
these Postmasters act as censors OF press ana
people. Lexington (Ky.) Press, Nov. 9th.
