The editorial corps Of the state consisting,
as it does, of about 80, the question may be
presented to all, touching the Propriety Of a
convention ofthe editors Of the state to meet
at Jackson, at some day most generally con-
yenient.


The Press, generally, should be subject
70 some kind Of general regulation, with
view to promote the best interests OF the
people generally, and it is not less clear
that the conductors Of the Press alone, are
ne uropcr persons to impose the laws, and
define the obligations Of which they should
sustain, and by which they should be bound.
IEin doing SC. they should chance to tres
mass on the rights Of others, time would
bring with II corrective.


There are now, in the United States,
about 1900 presses, each with subscrip-
ton list Of, from $50 up to $4,000 names,
and all, with united circulation Of more
than 6OOOO,OOO of sheets per unnum. Il
would be a wonderful anomaly, if, unregu-
lated and unrestranied, except by laws
based upon the moral convictions Of each
individual conductor, these mighty engines
could act upon the minds, Of the greht mass
Of mankind without impressing upon them
much error along with truth. To Obyiate
this, a. much as possible, would be a legi-
innate object Of state convention Of edi-
tors.
