A writer in the Mobile Herald, who has been
for sixteen years connected with the public press,
holds the following deserved commcndatory Ian
guage of the members Of the craft. None who
have had an opportunity of Judging will fail to
admit the business of his remarks. He says:

that time four different Governments from the one
under which we were born and educated we have
always found among printers not only more intel
ligence, but more liberality of opinion, more of

ties of erring humanity as upon the jars and con-

ers have sort of freemasonry with the whole
world. Conversant not only with events that are

under his control. With scarcely an exception

might not be proud to take by the hand as an as
sociate and a friend, or that the statesman
might not take into his counsel with satisfaction to
himself and benefit to the world"
