On most irte proachable business men were e posed week after week,,to the assaults of ll th Workman' s Advocate, in articles devoid ofj lgment, and teeming, with melice. Buta'sho time since, Mr. Price was' convicted of li el, and sett tenced to pay a fine.

If the blo he aimed at others has recoiled upon himse f, he has ; but 'himself to blame, Mr. Price ay be zealous ' in the cause of the workingMa ; but it is a zeal exercised in such an inar, manner, that ,an far it has compassed but ,l pvi for the Work- ittg classeinud himself.

The evidence is the Pri trial, proves this fact conclusively, as far as Brown & White are concerned. Many others ailaoltvai&hy,theAtinaqaptiaalk,Matyfitct ii, when times improve, and the, operatorm.of this Region are enabled. once more to feel themselves firmly, on their_ lers,. we ;believe that niue.tenths be wilting. to give) up their colliery stores and pay' their men in Cash. Their business would be less complies• ted, and they ;would have less difficulty with their men:.; At present it is !Oily to urge such change in the system . of paying millers, for the poor Workman is satisfied .to have his even it is riot butvred. The store Order system cannot now be changed, but the 'operator will yet perceive the advantage of its Abolition, as tar se the Region it coficerned. But interesting as this matter is, ,we hare no wish at this time to discuss its merits or demerits. Our desire is to show that it is an :error to suppose that the press an be restrict ed alone to public matters; while private af fairs—so esteemed—running throUgh a coin; munity, anti of importance to the public wel fare, cannot , be distlesed with proper tart guage, and in a spirit looking alone to the general prosperity. Incendiary publications, and malicious personal libels, such as those which appeared weekly in the Workman's ; Advocate, we deplore and iiphesitatingly con &oil. We have done `so 'since the proprie tors first adopted that disgraceful course-- The libels were unjustifiable, and Mr. Price . is suffering fur his temerity . But a free, an traufeled 'press, , conducted with co urtesy, searching in its scrutiny of the administration of public affairs, quick to' expose departures from the pathof rectitdde on the part of of ficials, and unspitipg, in its denunciation of wrong and oppreision in any shape, is the best, bulwark of at free people. ' Destroy its usefulness; shadYe its limbs, and we inaugu rate an era, similar to that of Prance at this moment. In proportion' to the amount,of muzzling to which , the press is subjected by ; .tyranny, in that ratio the liberties of the peo ple are attacked. 1 • - TtiF following significant artieleis from Forney's Preis of Tuesday last: • The Duty of All Candidates for Popular raver •is the .Present Crisis. : On the :sth of February last we made the ful: lowing open declaration in this journal: "But the State Convention will not, commit us to this, great outrage. Forty' such Conventions will not compel us to support what we believe to los wrong. No Convention, nJ great name, no friend, however dear or near to us, will make us stultify ourselves by supporting the Lecomptou fraud. We are the friend of William A. Porter for rho notninatlon at Harrisburg, and in nll pro. liability will vote for him; but the attempt to put him upon a pi/strum which recognises 'a piece of injustice like that perpetrated at Lecompten rind by threats and tests, attempted to be . - mmmitted at Washington, will if successful, do.him a great, and may do him a fatal injury. We wash our bands ot all responSibility,for thirtransaction.'l Since thit Convention Ins nominated Mr. Por ter, we are inure than evir convinced of the jus. tics of this declaration,, mid of• the-great and de. liberate injury it has-inflicted, alike upon him, and upowthe Democratic party. And should the candidates nominated b,Wthis Contention agree to Rapport the Leval:peon fraud, or accept that part of the platform adopted by the • majority of the Convention, nothing will save them from an overwhelming defeat. Fairly as they have been nominated, the acceptance by them of doctrines so revolting to the public sou timent will blow all' party usages into the air. It is notorious thee the men who were tuost active in putting the Lecotnpton poison int.. the Demo. retie ci f eel at, this very Convention, were in near et, every .case, the bi,por : 'opponents of Janice Porter, because ho was shown ti.: be the hoium friend of Governor Packer,' who is at this day as I openly Opposed to the Lecousptun fraud, anti ns unreservedly against the Kansas policy of the State Convention, as either Douglas, or, Wise, ,or Walker. I The officers of the Federal Adatinistra lion were a unit against Porter. They swarmed to the State capital against him, And when'they bound they could not dermal his nomina tion, they determined to adopt a platforin r which .they 'knew would uttetly defeat him if he, necepted it. 'This is notorious. Should he now:yitlit'to their importunities. and 'swallow the dme they ha!e drugged for him, be will be left in a hopeless mi nority in October. The crisis is at hand, Mad wo to these who suppose it will paii over with the adoption of the Lecompton Constitution by the Congress of the United States. Peace in Kansas is promised by till the organs of this fraud upon justice and law. Mere will be, there_ eon be no pence. And when the dread hour of civil war and universal desolation in that Territory shoji come; as come it will and must, should Lecumptun be driven through the National Legislature, those who have' made this Lecomp. ton fraud it test; and have agreed to make iiltheir shibboleth in the Northern elections, will reap the whirlwind they hero sown. When we see the army of the United States Shouting 'down the people of &mhos fur resisting -the Lecomptuu Constitution, and. when the relativet and.friends or the vietium of that fraud, all over the North and West, are fired withresentment and revenge, bow will the authors anti the endorsers of Le coniptnn sustain themselves? The cry of peace will then be in vain, for there will be no peace. As a native Pennsylvanian, now a resident and a voter in Kansas, where indeed he has voted the pro-slavery ticket, says in a jotter n o w i n our , p os . session, under'clate of Fehrodry 16, ”A"othing but the, aratv'eaa prevent n chit:lcor ij Lecomptoa does Aroogh.". tie adds:, , • '' , God bless yea lorever fur yonr Manly champi- ' onship,ef the. people 1 "Yo . tit-hive doubtless seen the eipuse of the frauds by which Calhoun him elected our (fur I voted fur thetn..uut of party allegiance, ou local grounds, and as the least of evils) State and Leg's ' iative tickett. After that it is to vain to hope the people willreeeive the ioke again from a mere handful of oppressors, "In vidw of the civil war.- which must.follow in the event of commissioning those Men, and in view otthe vuta of the people legally expressed against the 4..s.compton Constitution, I dunh see pow the President can stilihold out. "I'have Implered Bigler, with all the emphinds I . e e n. command , to have the -army distributed .nroung up if the Lecompton is to pass, When it receives the sanction of Congress, of course the 'minority will take 'Ado-against the insurgent pen. pie. Our tally solvatiutt.is the army. "Night and day,,since I• last wrote to you, I have been doing nothing he( trying.to prevent civil 'War., A blow or pistol shot would set, the Territory on tiro. Judge Williams is actually worn out trying to keep the tiaras apart. They thirst for bleed like hyenas. • "They threaten that these free State men shall be driven out in the night. They may Bring in Missouri end kill us—they cannot do it them. selves—but they cannot make. us run. We are in. nucent and hence we ore brave. , We have huh. dreds of men in the Territory midi to die in our defence.; -but so much do I feel tt importance Of ppnitineu end patience, that if the worst should come I want ,no man to nVenosk My death. It would only involve thousandth of - women, and chit. dsen, and brave men." We - repeat that the pobliejnen, eanditintes n. otherwise, in the•freo States, who endursec the policy that. has brought and willt-ttriar-about sack a state of things, are forever lost. The only safety for the nominee , ' of the Democratic _party of this State fent t oasts to rsisisdiats the .Ka.sus declaration" of the ItiirrisPitry State a/OCT/WOO.

' The next enertion presented is, areal." theta mei dons ? Malice le an logredlent to the offence of Libel. without which the offence would not be compete When Si Mbelletta matter Is published. malice Is pre. awned, As every man intmadsthe natural emeneen«ne e e ' of his mete. and the publishing a • libel tends to, tiring - one into public :morn. hatred and contempt, malice is ' I therefore presumed. whim/them:Ow published Is libel. 1 Inns. Aperty may rehht this presumption by show ng .1 the truth of the matley . eharged, end that 'it was pub. 1 liehedestth proper motetee. but in tbeerst trodanee me. lice is presumed. We think there can be no doubt about the presumption of malice in this case. As the law Mond previews to 'SGff the truth of ti mat ter charged mi libellous could not be given in evidence unlere In rases where the Olds) conduct of public offi ces,. the preocedlngs of fhb Legislature, de.. was ton settled. or when the matter published was neremary for 1 public information. lint the Act of Assembly, passed upon the Ilith May 1856, has changed the law .in that teepee! and allows the truth to be given In evidence in all came. dome think this change in the law beneficiel: we think otherwise. The Press war as free before as 1t should be. Our ancestor, 'were anxious to perm° the liberty of the Pres% and provided amply for it In the, ronstitution tjf the State. In See.itb of the declara tion of rightist ender the Constitution. it is thus ton.' telued concerning libels: "In pmeeentions for the pub . liention of mere investigating the official Icondnet ot (velem% or men In a peblie caturity, or 'where the matter published ,a prone' , for public information, tile truth thereof may be given In evidenre." So you will see that before the law 0t , 156 the truth could be elven in evidence where the °Metal conduct of public otinws or men in a public capacity was concerned or where the matter pnblirbed was proper for public, infornietiow— What could have been Raked for more? Why publish to the world twitters with whirl' the public have no business? Why parade In public the priv ate affairs. and bedtime of our citizens and attempt to 3uAllty it be cause of haelleerd truth i Where thefts matter, pub lished are necessary for public Information, the re It f, different. and the truth may be given In evidence. But the legislature Innbrated upon the law In tee, respect. Tbir law will work mischief. In this County what was before the liberty of the Press, now threatens to oeeome the licentiousness of the Preen. A enint has been eaggeeted. though not strongly urged. In the course of the trial, with which we are die tweed to tierce. and that Is, that native beholding the law of %%allows the truth to be given to evidence i n all CARes, yet it can only be done where the official con dart et public officers Is Concerned, or-where the matter eublished i. proper for public Information. as. regulated by the Constitution itself. A slight exert/in:mon of this position will show it to be well founded: No law can contravene or transcend the Constitution of the State. The Bill of bights which is part of the Constl• tritinn, fixes the liberty of the Press, end de ellarer In what cases the truth may he given" In «vidence. thereby prohibiting it, by nes-emery implisation In all other t11..5. But the law of 1856 toes further. and stints it • to be given in evidence In elle:tree. it Iran alteration • of the 818 of bights, and therefore to that extent un '• constitutional. It is not necessary to examine It 'fur ther here-Its the; question scarcely arise', in ibis eve. But take the law to be entestitutinna I. and the next Inquiry Is whether theillbels charged. were published with goal motives and for juettlialole ends , . We will fleet consider whether they were published for justifia ble ends; and the tenth of the matte,* charged is mete rill In this aspect of the ease. Is the matter published. true? !lave they tnirie out the truth of all Miele char ger,. ter the prof of the truth moot bees. bread as the Charger, therneelyes.-and union the defendants have proved the truth of even' Ilhellte . s matter charged. they have failed. It. Is a matter for yen to decide. and not for us, We have looked in' vain for the proof of any of the charges whlchorere made. The defendant her charged Prima t Whifiewitteextortkm. but has he primed HP -The erridenee — of the chief elm* of the prosecutor°, who fixed the priors for the 'Roods gold. goes to show that but mederate proem were charged—not more than merchants 11,411111 y charged—and that the Instrue Hems of Brown & White to hint .. . were. that he should not-charge more than was the custom for storekeeper to• charge. Hee It further been established that the men were compelled to take tbeir wages out in shire goner. AAthe defendants have charged? What la the truth of the matter? Why. In September, When the panic came and business was . prostrated all oyer the country. Brown A White called their men together and informed them' that in future they would not be able to pay them In rash, but that if they were willing to talus their wages nut In store goods they might go on. otherwise; they must stop, as In the condition of the anal trade it was impossible to get any money. The men went oo and worked. it was a fair aereement on their part. They expected n o money.— 'Due bills which Brown .e Whitt had given tor labor , done perslourly by the men. were paid In cash In isno t ary aceording to the agreement. and the evidence fur.. they shows that Brown* White paid over $BOOO in cash to tie men in January when they *ere net/Sound to wee hem eash. But It 4s not ,neeermary it, er. thriller Into the details. Weanpet say that we think the libel lOns matter entirely unthstalned. There la 410 proof of tiny Intention on the part et Blown. a. White to extort. and no'proof that they did. If you come to the centime AIM that the Miele charged are untrue, then it Is your duty to convict, but if you find them true, then eon must examine further whether they were published with good motive.. and for justifiable ends. We have mid more, that where the matters charged -are libellous, there malice Is presumed, and it is for the . defendants to rebut that presumption. flraa the delete dant satisfied you. of his mud motives, and that his ends were justifiable?, Ilk eounrel allege thit friends/hinter the workmen is the sole motive by which he is actuated. If he ls.hoetakee a singular way of ehowing it. How could it benefit the workmen to publish that Brown A Wbite bed made but three paps In eighteen months? a charge which has no foundation whatever. Now, the etability and nevem of a firm, extensively engaged In ' business. depends upon credit. A liege capital Is Peres. teary to carry on the coal business. nutlet It be 'pub. lished that an operator does not pay his men. and his credit Is gone—be I. ruined at otll*--1115 creditor' , come upon him and he fails. Was not such the natural effect of there public:Minns', parties/Liar!, in Jan wiry last.:when be:blame was in such a deed/Aged state? Was it not calculated to destroy Brown at White's eyed% and-pre- Tent even the workmen themselves from getting their wee+, ? What gond-motive, then, could have actuated trite defendant in publishing these mations? I Ilitened to his counsel, and did hope to hear some Justification —.Arne excuse urged—but heard none, and we can 1m... 'mine none; and - it la for you to say whether be was ac tuated by good modem. If such were the ease. why should he rail Brown R White rogues and knaves? why charge them with being swindlers, for it amounts to that? and why say a day of vengeenee will come upon them? why make use of roach terms abd epithets if his , Motives were pod? • But what Justifiable end was arrived at by these pub. • Bretton*? The only end we can imagine IA that this . Workman's AdrorAte IA to be held up as a kind of rod. ~ in ferments, over our seed operators. to make them pay their workmen. Bid who has heard that the vial opera eine does not pay hie men when he can? The Recces. of his bashress depends upon it. I have yet to hear the ' first instance of It. , If this editor were to thew that this order system was wrong, and should be abolished: that both operators and workmen would be benefitted thereby: that opera tor', would peocuie better men, and the laborer, better pay: and that both would be better satisfied—lf such a line of argument as this -were followed. without Culling' down vitnoemtios on any one. or singling out different 'operators for Personal lattack'—then. perhaps with pub. Heathen might be of advantage. But, II he iamb( to benefit the laborer at the expense of the opera tor to e x cite the workmen against their employers '', 'en he may doe great Injury to both. and the sooner . Is publi cations sere, the, better, The interests of employer and employed are mutual, and any one who publithes that they are separate and Inutile to each othee, / `ls widely misteken, and le nn true friend of either.
