But interesting as this matter is, ,we hare

:error to suppose that the press an be restrict
ed alone to public matters; while private af
fairs—so esteemed—running throUgh a coin;

fare, cannot , be distlesed with proper tart

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 ;

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:, ,

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.

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

This is the bold, honest and patriutia course., '

When Si Mbelletta matter Is published. malice Is pre.

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

-The erridenee — of the chief elm* of the prosecutor°, who

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? •

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
