We do not pretend to assert for one moment that the Journalist more than any other man should be sheltered from the conseqences of his acts or that he more than any other member of society hag.any right by word or pen to stab with impunity the reputation of any one, but it certainly is the duty of public journalists to fa'rly and fearlessly scan the public acts of public men as well to approve of the worthy as detect and expose the unworthy that the public may know of and appreciate the valuable services of the former, and warn them against placing confidence in the latter ;and to prevent knaves from carrying out their sinister designs against the public weal. In the honorable dis- charge of such duties it is the duty as well as the interest of the public to seo that the journalist is protected and encouraged;knaves may wince and howl at the exposure of their frauds but right thinkiog men will be pleased at the safety afforded by such ex- posure. Dut the journalist should himself assume all responsibility in treating of the doings of others. If there be anything more wrelchedly contemptible than another it is the malicious, anonymous scribbler who assassin-like will stab the reputation of others and conceal his identity and thus prevent the attacked party from knowing who the moral assassin is. The journalist who opens bis columns for the vile slanders of the anonymous scribbler or the cowardly defamer over & nom de plume, ought to get a couple of years of the penitentia:y, for of al} men the moral coward is the most de- testable and dangerous. Good and worthy men may be maligned and vilified by some characterless tascal who is allowed to screen his identity from the punishment be deserves. A journalist is doubly guilty who allows his columns to be made the resort of the moral assassin and coward and he should be doubly punished as the abettor of the . worst kiud of thieves. Buta fearless and honorable Press is of the greatest im- portance to the country, and in place of being made the butt of persecution and annoyance by the lovers of darkness, the friends of right and justice ought to rally round and defend it.
