Many Republican editors through
out the State are trembling lest the
new constitution will deprive the igno
rant man, and the poor man, of his

our mind this is blow aimed directly
at them, though it will not go so far,
we think, as to deprive them of their
newspapers, provided they steer little
further away from anarchy.
