At IN early period Of our connexion with
the political press, we took occasion to express
our views OF its duties, its obligations, its pow
ers and its liabilities, in general. and Of its
character and condition as il exists AT this time
ia this country The additional knowledge
which subsequent experience and observation
have in,parted to Ma, has altered no opinion
which we then declared. On the contrary,
every succeeding week has furnished new and
indsputable evidence Of the lainentable degra-
daton oil the political press. The most s,rk-
ing feature Of its depraved moral aspect is its
disregard uf TRUTH When we remember
the nature, the operations and the right objects
of the Press, we would be apt to conclude
that men, who, under circumstances, might

Strange as it may seem, nevertheless, there
are those who do not trust themselves at any
time to uAer u falsehood, but publish it with
out hesitation or reserve, whether il be of their
own creation or derived from the laboratory Of
some co-aborer. II any one be yet uncon-

which distinguishes many Of the journals of
the day. devoted to politics, let him trace the
biography Of General Harrison-io follow him

greet him. Watch him as he traverses the
widerness--mark him in the camp and in the
fyht-the faithful soldier, the brave officer,
the upright man. See him now developing
the traits which entitle him TO public favor and
popular affection--and these are not with
holden.


AT future day, behold him in elevated and
responsible siatlon--the favored of his coun-
try. the trusted of his countrymen-clothed
with almost unlimited power-wi.h the sword
in one hand and the purse in the other, yet
only, and always for the rights and the honor
of his country, and unties the strings of the

Honest in all his designs, faithful to every

life Of this good man-now protracted TO
three score years-and the world may be
challenged to find the evidence of one cor
