VOL. 10, NO. 23.3 Personalities in Journalism. The following is the paper read before -,ne "cent Editorial Association at Ind ian apolis by Hon. John B. Stoll of LioniVr LnMri,Mtfiel.tnn...;j ,1.... the great blessings we enjoy, one of the .-,. !......- r.J - ... v--. - ,.....- -vs .a. . cam. lildl UNH II r ; b,t ;:?sr ,,r .i: loy of evil; licentiousness is the alloy of tihprr- it U .r, Kii.f j 7 it is a speck ur.on the eve nf tho nn'iii..! body, but which I can never touch but with a gentle, with a trembling; hand, lest I destroy the body, lest I injure the, eye upon which it is apt to appear. 'There w such a connection between licentiousness and liberty, that it is not easy to correct the one without dangerously wounding the other; it is extremely hard to distinguish tire true limit between them; like changeable silt we can easily eee there are kwo different colors, but we can not easily discover where the one ends or where the other begins. '- The danger of touching the press is the dithcun'J 9 marking its limits. The liberty of tne press has been in every country the last liberty which subJ s ave fceeo able to wrest from power uilier liberties ier liberties are held under govern ments, liut. the liberty of opinion keeps governments themelves in due subjection to their duties. This has produced the martjrdoot of truth iu every age, and the world has been only pursed from ignorance with the innocent blood of those who have enlightened it. The poet Milton, in his most eloquent address to Parliament, put the liberty of the press on its true and niost honorable foundation when he said: 'If it be doMi ed to know the immediate caure of all this free writing and fiee speaking, it can not be assigned a truer than your owti mild and free asd liuai mo government. It is the liberty which your own valorous and happy counsels have purchased us; libetty. which is the nurse of all great evils. This is that which has rarihed and enlightened our spirits like the influence of heaven; this is that, which hath enfranchised, enlarged, and lifted up our apprehensions degrees above themselves Ye can not tuake us less capable., less knowing, less eagerly pursuing the truth, unle.s ye first make youtsetves, that jniide VIS SO, less the lovers, less the f o u n ders of our true liberty. Give me the liberty to know, to alter, and to argue fr."e!y accordingly to conscience above ail But this liberty of the press, which is so highly ex'olled. and wich bp, adjournal ils, so fully appreciate, has its ailoy, and unless kept within proper bounds, will ink into the dangerou whirlpool of licen liousoess. The press is one of the outsentries; if we remove it, if we hoodwink i, ifw bind it with letters, the enemy may surprise us. The influence of the pres is constantly increasing Its character as a medium to convey the news, the intelligence eurreu? in the world, editorial opinions upon questions of public concern and policy, and matters iniereWng and instrueiive. i rap idly luing established; and as a moulder of public opinion it stands without a rival and without a peer. It is, consequently . the basis of this liberty of the pre-, and the duty of the editor, never wiltully to mislead his readers; to seek to enlighten others with wh it his own reason and conscience have dictated to him as truth, to address himself to reason, rather than passion; to an ilyze principles, point out errors and defects; examine and expose corruption; warn hi fellow citizens againsi their ruinous consequences; j 111 short, exert all bis faculties, in a legitimate way, to the diffusion of general knowledge and information, upon high ethical rrinciples. The public has a claim upon an editor, which, in view of his moral responsibilities, and the confidence reposed in him, he is bound to respect. The newspaper finds its way not only into the workshops, the counting houe, and the raloon, but into the home circle, the nursery and the kitchen Its influence is felt, i;a traces alike upon the youthful mind as in the heart of tho?e of j mature years. 1 he seed thus sown wilt j bring forth good for evil, the eoil on whieh it falls is fertile and must produce. Can we. then, csospe the responsibilities attaching to so important a profession? Confidence in the virtue and intelligence of the people forces and conclusion that he who, extends his patronage to a public journal expects and rightfjliy too wholesome fjod for the mind, and literature which tends rather to refine and elevate than to corrupt the mind and excite the baser passions. There may be those among the reading public who have no appreciation of logical disquisitions, or sound reasoning, upn any subject, and who prefer to be served with low billinsis gate, vile personal abuse, or a aiorgrel msu ot nasty slang. He who regards the wishes of puch minds, and eaters to their wauts, should not receive encouragement or patronage from the refined, and cultured and the sensible portion of mankind. It should bethe highest, as it is the noblest, aim of every editor to establish a reputation founded on the eternal principles of justice, right and truth. Lt his yea be yea and his nay nay; and with such principles guiding his pen and actuating his motives, bis confidence in the public and their confidence in him will be strenghened, and much good will come out of Nazareth much order out of chaos. No greater infliction uron the public, no more flagrant outrage upon the good 6ense and intelligence of the people, no greater detriment and disgrace to lournahsui can be practiced than that wbich, even in this enlightened age, is yet o common and so general among editors of indulging in I ilnnnri,tinn and defamation in connection wun tne oisonssion 01 ;ni.i and local topic-. It is the alloval of evil in the liberty of the press. It is that licentiousness which is a epeck upon the journalistic body; it is an ebullition, and ! excess one which should be lopped off as being fatal not only to the public but to

A resolution censuring thus licentious prcice was unanimously ad pteu bj the Editorial Association of the Tenth and Eleventh Districts of Indiana, and I am happy to say that our brethren of a neighboring State have recently enunciated a like sentiment in an official form, which is thus commented en is inus couiBieDiea r1- ,- . S u"oue' 01 ,ev8 - land. Onto: The Ohio Editorial Association, em bracing some eighty editors and publis hers of the Stale, at iis receut Convention -pro nounced, by a considerable maj-irty of its members, agiinst the prictice of newspaper personalities, declaring that we deem it unprofessional upon tho part of conductors of newspaper to indulge iu personal deu uuciat ion and definition iu connection with the discussion of general and loc.l topics.' We congratulate the members ' ot the Association upon their good sense in taking this attitude of opposition to a practice which has become so general and common as to be a most disagreeable infliction upon the pnbsic, and a detriment and disgrace to j lurnalism. It is a face which every observant newsp-jper man wi II concede, that the influence of this vicious custo u is to degrade the editorial office. .Such an eiiect is tia'ural and inevitable. For example apply this practice of personal abus- and denunciation to any other calling Let two lawyers, or merchants, 01 physicians engage in a controversy of personal defamation and traduction, and wl.i't must be the certain tffvsct upon the public? Manifestly, a loss of respect, popular distrust, and a general feeling of ctuteoijit for both. There is nothing iu the editorial ealiini which gives those etii gaged in it the riht to exp.'ct any differ ent vetdict upon a siuiilir hue of conduct. iut it may be said that the newspaper reider has learned to understand that the utterances of editors against each other are not intended to be regarded as sincere statemets of lacts, and must not be uceepted literally , The apology is even more damaging thin the evil, since it implies systematical falsehood and studied mis representation, which, if admitted, must raise iu every honest mind a fair doubt as to the sincerity and liability of all newspipers views and opinions. In either aspect of the case, therefore, the practice is a serious evil to journalism, which calls tor thorough eradication, if the press is uot to sutfvr deterioration and loss of character and itillneuee with the public. It is simp ly preposterous to expect the readers of a piper to accept the assurances and statements of an editor whjlias been pronounced by bis coteiupararies a liar and a scondrei; who has been repeatedly denounced as a creature givwi to the practice of the worst vices, as a fellow at all times for sale to the highest bidder, and as a man wholly corrupt and untrustworthy in all the relations of life such a being, indeed, as we should look for rather iu the penitentiary than in the sanctum of a newspaper. In conclusion, permit me to express the hope that these annual ot seur.-anuu,al gatherings may result in wiping out pergoual animosities, and that a more friendly and cardial feeing may be created by properly observing the amenities due from one member to another of an estimable and honorable profession.

The Democratic Appeal. ?'v. i- . . i l it 1 "a I'euiucrsiiu tueraoera or congress. Mlo"i neieot custom, which, of W'eo into disuse, have issued an address to their Dolitical friends with view to strengthen and reassure then in fir ure political contests. This address is

remarkable for its dolorous fanereal tone.lcatcn nim; I and. III trv. I woulden't

and indeed, is more like the wail of band of professional mourners than trumpet mast trom political chiettains rousiug their armed hosts to battle. It i complains of General Grant for being a candidate for re election, as if no Democratic President had ever dreamed of submitting to the self sacrifice of renomtna. tiou It complains of Republicans for holding caucuses to agree upon party measures, as if Democrats were utter strao gers to the manipulations of caucus management. But the sadddest feature of the address is the labored argument it con tains to show that I ho nminlv ii in n i1a i nnri.u fi:..i ...,.i:,:..

These representations are about as ridiculous as if, in a time of general healib, a convention of quack doe tors should proclaim that a fearful pestilence was raiti.', and that it was all owing to the incapacity of the recognized uiedieal profession to protect the sanitary welfare of the community. Such a manifesto would excite laughter rather than alarm. Bat these grave statesman have discover ed that men calling themselves Republicans have turned out to be desaulters, peculators and thieves. What Democratic administration has bi'eu free from these? Is it in the power of any party, in a country so large :ts ours, to avoid mistakes and lo preveut official uufaithf ulness in every cast? These politicians affect great horror that tho party in power hould adopt any measures with relVrence to the perpetuation of its own power, .'f we have not mis-read or forgotten history the Democratic party has set us the copy for all that we are doing in that diretion. Was it not Andrew Jackson who first acted on the principle: 'To the victors bjlonjj the spoils? What. Democratic Administration ever departed from that cardinal principlt? Dire these men say that if they succeed to power they will appoint men to office, without reference to partisan service, or party relations? Will they turn no man out of ot'ica who is fit for it, because ha is a Republican, io order to make room for a Democrat? But the real effart of this labored appeal is to convince the old oligarchy of (he South that the Republican party has not been good to them, but that the Dem ocracy will give them Comfort and deliverance. In this we have no doubt they will be entirely successful. It will not take much logical skill to convince rebels just well rested from the fields of strife that the Federal Government is an oppressor and prone to exceed its constitutional powers. But the patriotic men whoe scars from rebel sabre cuts are yet visible will bo slow to believe that those who starved our brave, men io Libby and in Sulsbury are good hands in which ta entrust this government with a view to greater moderation in the use of its powers. It will bo remembered that the legislation complained of is an attempt, by the government, to suppress by the terror of law, armed and lawless bands of assess n who murder men for ho Ming Republican opinions in politic and voting for Repurt lican candidates. Because the national eovernmcnt Ins attempted to provide that Republican prosecuting attorneys shall not bedrsgged out t f their beds by masked asssssins and slain in thier own door-yard for doing their du'y in bringing criminals toju'tice. the Administration is pronunced as being despotic and high-handed! It is a sad thing when members of a greit po!iti cal party ate persuaded to become the de feudersof guerillas and murderous outlaws. To sustain lynch laws and riotous mobs would be teuder mercy compared with the cruelty of apo".ig'zing for disguised and masked viliians who mob aud plunder only in the night. A lynch court at least would confront its victim without j mask, and make a show of proving its victim of some admitted crime against his fellow man. Bat with the Southern as sassins. the case is diffirent. Republican officials, for doing their duty, as they have been sworn to do it, are waylaid by masked murderers and ruthlessly murdered. And it is called a stretch of power for the government of the nation to put its foot on such viliians as these! This document professes to appeal to 'the calm, good sense, and sober, second thought, of the American people.' To that august umpirage we are agreed to submit our cause, and to it we shall make our argument m due time. So far the verdict of that court has been in favor of justice and the caue of patriotism, and we are not afraid of the issue, so ong as armed bands of midnight assassins are not allowed to murder men for opiuiou's Eake.

His offense was nothing mere- ! i coiumoniy canea a -iiasiway riant, it susceeJed though, aud iqv eenf 1 o rr, ., r, ,.. . 1 I made agrand hit when I nabbed his comptnioa. He told me his haunts and : his haYits, but he woulden't aid me in carenmg nun. i determ ned to do it myself. I was a green hind then. No matter, I bud the will. I found the way. He was to be at a tea party on that Thursday night. I was invited. Shall I take two policeman io disguise and arrest him? No; all his friends would rescue him. I'll go alone. I went. I left mv little housa a four-roomed dwelling at six. I locked the front door, aud off I went to Mrs. Jones' tea party. It wis the month of December. We hai greitfun at the tea party. There was a gentleman there that I believed to be mv man. desnite the fact that, when I J . r j i Wi t m ft ii .Ail ti, Lim f oruii InC.i. rw-. n . 1 t, n 1 . 1 had just come from the Continent. We fell into conversation. He began to pump me. This was what I wanted. I was determined to play the simple, and tell him all bo asked. He started hard at me. Perhaps he knew me perhaps he did not. He was a pecj;iar mm, wi Ii srort blaox hair, a clean-shaved face (parish priest and pick pockets are alike clean shaved strange coincidence!), dressed iu a suit of very light gray. He looked smart. I might sal'ely have shouted, "All bands to pump ship, for he pumped iu a most bare-faced manner. He asked me where I lived. I told him. It saw no use in deceiving him; besides, I had a little plan io view. I -might invite him to my house, and pin him. Had 1 any company? None. Anyone else in the house? No, I was a bachelor. I preferred to live alone. And then, in the most quiet aud insinuating -way, be asked me, did I shoot? He did; ho had been shooting lately last week he was shooting in Suffolk. He went down there for a day or two. Ah! and I remarked, in a very innocent way, looking up benignently at him, that I thought that is, I understood thtit he Lad juat come from the continent. He staited I pretended to bo surprised, and he assured me, in fact, he bad been to the Continent since! But about the shooting? NTo; I didn't shoot; I was timid about firearms; the sight only of a loaded gun made me tremble (pas me here, reader; there is a loaded guu always hanging over my chi.nney-pieca in the parloi) Had 1 no firearms? Ho had a beautiful guu. No, I had none. Then he returned to the house question. Did I sleep on the ground floor? No. Where then? At the top of the bouse it was two stones high. Uii! back or front JJack. He was very inquisitive, I thought; but 1 seemea to erjoy telling turn all I could He thought he was pumping mc poor devil! Then he asked mc, as if casually, did I approve of keeping money at home. or did I send to the b;iuk? I started. I began to thiuk this wis too gojd. No matter, I would go through with it I had told him lies ennugh, why not tell another ay, why uot? I kept my money st home. Banks were unsafe; but I assur ed him I felt uneasy 'just the'i, becaus? I happened to have more than usual, aud i. wasn't mine. Fivo hundred pounds ready money, I think I told him. No; it was five hundred pounds in notes' ha! hal ha! Five peuce in coppors would have been nearer the mark. But no matter poverty is no sin. Yes, I kept it in tho house; and be thought it strange I had no arms. Here 1 stopped him and beeged his pardot ; I had arms, lie turned pale. I had arms; yes, I had so. What were they, might be ask? He might. My arm was a boiledstick, with two ounces of lead let into the ton of it. Oh! be seemed greatly relieved. I told him the doors and windows had bolts on them' and were all well barred--all but one. Ho pricked up bis ears, and a faintly murmerod Which?' led mo on. and gave me hope. I thought it but to encourage him all but one. The front window on the ground floor I said, had no btrs on the shutter. They had nil bells, I told him. I had a bell. It was very eafe. Thieves never think of getting into a house by the fiont, you know. An'd there was nq area or garden. The door opened on to the pivement. Yes it was very safe wasen't it? Yes, he thought it was. Then ho talked about politics; etc ; and then ho got up to go so soon? And Mrs. Jones begged him to stay; and I begged him to give me a call some night, for ah! really he was very that is, his company wai very ah', very agreeable, ha! ha! ha! tie was going ray wy, would I go with him? or would he wait for me?

He is not a yard from me, and I am grinning at hitn through the door, which is about six-inches open. He looks about him. He is at fault. 'B t him! he mntters, 'I'll have him yet!'

Then he pokes his heud out under the bliud, and glances up and down the street. Appareuily satisfied, he withdraws his head, and then feels bis way to the fireplace ho U giog to etrike a match.
