wound the feelings, or be supposed to injure
the character or prospects of an individual.
In plainer words, what may be called Free Re
porting is recognised, permitted, sanctioned,
and oven encouraged by the laws and judges of
England, while, with us, no such latitude has
yet boon allowed. Therefore, the American
papers do not make a special feature of Police
proceedings, as the English journals do.
Indeed, our whole law of libel is a blot upon
our statute-book, a nuisance to honest men, a
whip in the hands of scoundrels, an instru.

ed, it may be, upon such a vague thing as
supposed similarity of style, magistrates ab
surdly armed with "a little brief authority"
have compelled the accused to fled ball—at
the same. time, cot binding over the vagabond
accuser to carry the case before a Grand Jury.
There ought to be no arrest, for libel, in such
oases, until after a Grand Jury bad found a
bill of indictment. Thai, and not earlier, the
accused should be called upon to, give bail
for his personally appearing to stand trial In
a court of justice. The laws of our State are
about being inquired into. We earnestly re.
commend Mr. DAVID WEBSTEa and his two
colleagues seriously to consider our miserable
Law of Libel, with the view to amending it.
Coming back to the t• penny-a-lined" police
and law reports, in the London papers, it may
be said that they have been made, for several
years, by men of education and standing. In
the Court"! of law, indeed, there is less penny
a-lining than in the police courts, for some
journals have young barristers, to each court,
to furnish reports of special cases. Judge TAL
TOAD was thus connected with The Times for
several years, and only the other day Sir ADAM
BITTLESTOND (knighted on having been a
Judge in India) retired from a similar posi
tion.
Peirce reporting is In the hands of a very
few persons in London. To each of the Me
tropolitan Police courts, (two in the city of
London, and eleven in Westminster, South
wark, Lambeth, and the suburbs,) one regular
reporter is attached. He Is not an appoint
ment by the Government or by the news
papers; but originally was self-undertaking,
and Is admitted by the newspapers, because
any wilful mistake or misstatement in a re
port, if proved against him, would end in his
ceasing to be recognised as reporter of the
court—a recognition in which oven the magis
trate joins, sometimes addressing the public,
through the reporter, on occasions when he
has to make statements or repel charges, and
always allowing the reporter free access to
documents, &c., which throw light upon any
I case.
There are eight morning papers in London,
(Times, Chronicle, Herald, Post, .advertiser,
Daily News, Telegraph, and Star,) each of
which must have the police reports. We say
must," because it wouldbe only part of a news
paper without this necessary portion of intelli
gence—Just as, in this city, n daily publication
..which does not contain the - telegraphic Intelli
gence supplied by the Associated Press, cer
tainly is not entitled to be called a news
paper. .
As the average salary paid to a good re.
porter in London Is about £4 a week, each
journal would have to pay about £OO weekly
for its police reports alone, h,ving to send a
reporter to each police office, daily. Instead of
this, they are supplied by the self-appointed re
porters as aforesaid, at the expense of thirty
shillings a columr, whereby the coat is dimin
ished fully two-thirds: Each column of the
London Times contains nearly two hundred
and forty lines, and thirty shillings for this
I makes the pay exactly three instead of two
cents a line. Say that a daily paper has
i'twelve coluizitis of police news in a week,
(which is about the average quantity,) it pays
the penny.a-liners £lB for this, instead of
close upon £6O. Thus, in this alone, there is
a saving of £2,000 per annum.
About thirty years ago, this police report
ing was—nowhere. Mr. Joan Maur, who
then commenced penny-a-lining for the Mor
ning Herald, devoted himself to the Bow
street police office, and, possessing much hu
mor and some wit, dressed up the proceedings
so ludicrously, that, within twelve months, his
popular pollee reports nearly doubled the eir
, culation ot the Morning Herald. They formed
an attractive volume, with admirable illustra
tions by CRUIREIRANK, published in 1825, And
called "Mornings at Bow street." MORT'S
success made other journals follow suit, but
I on his retirement, the embellishing system of
reporting declined, and was succeeded by the
present matter-of-fact and reliable statement of'
I what actually occurs.
The principal police courts are the Mansion
House and Guildhall in "the city," and Bow
street In Westminster. The accredited re
porters here must realize large incomes. Each
column which they
,write, at thirty shillings,
brings £l2 when manitoided for the eight
mortal; more. The four emit); jeurtkele
(Sun, Globe, Standard, and Express) also pub
lish, hilt do not pay for, these reports. They"
invariably cc convey" them from the morning
papers, and give about half-a-column, every
day, of the leading cases which may have oc
curred in,the Police Courts between the hours
of nine and twelve on each forenoon.
The Reporters in the three principal courts
which we have named realize large incomes.
Say that each ,supplies an average of two
thirds of a column daily, all the year round,
this gives him £Blll per annum from each of

tOormspondence of The Press.]
WASIII4GTON, August 5, 185,
will now consider the chief points in relation
to the law Lerdo, deAeed by Oomonfort, clearly
show ita illegality In equity, and also the gratify
ing expootation of good wbioh may reasonably bo
iptia'sed by giving to the wisdom of the Govern.
.J 73 1 1 / 4 t which nullified the law Lerdo decree an
.
The Congress * istei --- !irmt:i — riii the city of
Mexlatin 1856, was called and elected under "the
olio of .454nt1a." for the purpose of instituting an
troganio General Comonfort was substitute
President for Alvarez. In the early records of its
action it will ho found that "the Congress extended
the time of Comonfort es President substitute
twelve months " That foot proves that Congress
was sovereign in the name of the people; and yet
Comonfort bed previously thereto decreed the law
Lerdo against the property of the church of the
Republics. The deoree of the law was the act of
Comonfort, although hut Prosidentsubstitute. The
Congress, at his request, sanctioned Lis decree.
Comonfort led the Congress instead of Allowing the
Congress to lead himself. Now, as Mexico was
confessedly a Itopuislie. the decree of Comon
fort against the property of the church was
not only not legal, but regal—more than re
gal; it was imperial, for we road in Menu
lay's historY of England that oven "a king
of tisk country could not legislate with
out the consent of a Parllament.'• Comons
fort legislated first and got the consent of Cons
grass afterwards, whereas, AS President substitute
eta republic), he should have left the matter alto
gether with the Congress. Placing himself above
all authority and power, the decree of the law
Lerdo by Comonfort was a gratuitous affront to the
nation and to the ohuroh, as well as an unnecessary
inauguration of intestine diffoulty. Congress and
Comonfort were both wrong. Comonfort was
wrong in doing enact wbioh he ought not to . have
done; and the Congress was wrong in the mo
tion of en not, which, if it might have been done
at all, Congress alone should have originated.
Congress, by its sanction of the decree of Comma
fort, made Its primitive sovereignty subservient to
the dictation of an °Moir which itself had given
power to. The mistake of the Congress wee the
blander of many persons; tho mistake of Comon
fort was the blunder only of himself! committed,
however, with a fell knowledge of the extreme
agony of tribulation into which the act was Maid
tably to plunge the republic.
The law Lordo might be said to have been issued
under a strong desire to become personally famous,
without discovering that the fame to be derived
from it would be infamy, rather Ikon glory. It
welt en unenviable exhiltition of governmental
puerility to institute afflietiim for the Mexican
people.
Even under the strongest of monarchies, churches
have not been violently wounded successfully nor
with impunity, and never except through centu
ries of disaster; and how could a mere President
tabstitute, under a self-assumed regal or imperial
authority, under a now inefficient, because imper
feCtly established form of government, hope or
meet to accomplish (in peace) in Mexieo, what,
after a lapse of two centuries, the great Protestant
throne of England has not even yet been able to no•
oemplish in Ireland, nor even In England itself.
The neeeysity of Mexico was pease, and not the
inauguration of centuries of intestine difficulty.
TbeLerdo law was rightly reminded by the Was
ps Administration, and should never be revived.
If the law Lordo (as at the time stated) was
belied merely to supply the Comonfort Adminis.
trstion with funds, tt was not only a governmental
robbery merely, but a gratuitous or unnecessary
robbery, lawmen the church In State exigencies
had never been found wanting in respect for the
(bvernment, by refusing to accede to the grant of
such aid as might be afforded and seem to be es
sential to the welfare of the nation.
If, on the other hand, as was at the time stated,
in some quarters, the church was not deprived of
the property, but only under a forced sale com
pelled to hold a mortgage, Instead of a rental, the
Government seizing only part or all of the deposit
made on accomnt of purchase at the time of sale,
the sale was still a robbery of magnitude, and
would have been such oven had the Government
taken none of the proceeds of sales. Large quan
tities of real estate could not have been forced

give it to political partisans, without being die.
peed of for not more than a third of their
then and prospective value. The lose by the forced
elle, and the loss by what the Government
seized as commissions and payments on account,
ho., were equivalent to a sacrifice of, and gift to
particular p trtisane, of the whale of the property ;
and it may be fairly assumed that those persons
vies purchased the property, and did so at a no
rsinal value, are (ham who are now en arms to
austatn the Leeds law, in order that they may
not be compelled to give up the property. This
idea gives to the present intestine war a very met.
cenary aspect. But that feature of the oontest
teed notcause it t.i . bo continued, because it has
already been intimated that the " delaeto Govern.
went will advanto full compensation to all those
who may have purchased the property, and who

Supreme Court of Mexico, should he the epitome
of national equity and purity of personal motive
and honor—is, it is conceived,aiwar with the con

But, was the decree of Comonfort against the
vested interests of the Churoh legal? Would the
deoree have been legal bad it originated with the
Congress? The deoree was not legal as tho aot!of
Cornonfort, and would not have been, legal as the
act of Congress. The Congress was eleeted under
the phut of Ayntla for a special purpose, and do-
Inonfort was Yresidont eubstitute'undei• tho same
plan of Juana, to superintend the affairs of the na-

In office simply to guide the Government until the
Congress, eleoted under the plan of Arta's, could
not. Bad the Congress the power to deoree or as
sent to the law? No. Because the Congress was
called and eleoted by the suffrage of the people to
deolde upon the organic law, upon which all other
laws were to be founded.
The decree of Comonfort bad nothing in its
phase which could make it a subject for the organic
law to sanction. An organic law could not be in
stituted upon nor sanction the abnegation of pri
vate, administrative. or corporate privilege ante
cedently in equity acceded to and established by
the nation. An organic law could not - in equity
interfere with the Church, with individual nor
with corporate or administrative rights of any
kind. The decree was ex post facto. Mexieo
was a Ripublio. A fundamental WV forythe bene
fit of the entire country could not in equity be ex
post facto, in reference to then existing <torpo
r Ito, personal, or administrative interests. A
fundamental law imbibe prospective only--deal
in general and not in partiouler conclusions.
The question of " toleration of religions" (re
ligion considered other than Oatholio) was a gees
tion'rightly open or not for adoption
,by Congress,
but the more or less confiscation of the Chureit
interests in real estate was not a question for the
decision of the Congress. In other words, the
Congress bad no right to_ assume jurisdiction over
other than the national territorial property, regu
lating the disposal of it to the citizens, and the
manner in which it should beoonie under tho or
genie law, State or Buttes of the confoderatiod.
The Church had been allowed by the Republic
primitive inherent rights when the nation first
threw aside its colonial vassalage to Spain. In
that reopeot the Mexican Republie wisely and no
bly imitated the founders of the Constitution of
the Government of Washington—did not interfere
with the then Church property or property of any
kind. The non•interfirenee with the Churoh pro
perry when Mexico was first declared a Republic
independent of Spain was the guarantee of the
Republic that the property of the Church never
could be interfered with.
Thu truth and equity of that . faot wai admitted
by the Congroes !tuff, in Its rojeotion of the “tole
ration of religions;" that rejootion WWI tantamount
to a conclusive admission that the Church had
guarantied primitive rights, so absolutely sacred
and special that they could not be infringed even
by the permission of dissent from its tenets Ilia.
tolleotual rights were considered so imperatively
Igestructible, bow mush more stringently did von
property deoreedi to be sold by Comonfort was in
dubitably sacred, as well as equitably, of right, in
the custody of the Ohurbh ?
Comonfort was not in office to make laws, and
ropes:daily not to make refrorpective
attack of existing rights—rights established by
the wisdom of the past—rights then in existence
and specially guarantied by the primitive action
of the founders of the Republic, when Mexico
first bona= independent of Spain. What would
be thought of a President or Congress of the
United States which would undertake to abrogate
a prinoiple of the fundcmental equity of the
American Union? and yet the Congress of Mexico,
under, of course, the more or less dictation of tho
President substitute, rejected the toleration of re
ligions in defence of the Church. strong in belief
and position, and therefore in little need either of
active or passive legislative protection, yet, with
the sanction of the President substitute, the Con
gress committed the stupendous error of levelling
a vital blow at the just influence and property of
the Church, by striking at rights (through his
decree) which, under the recognised laws and
usage of the Republic, the Church had hitherto
enjoyed in equity a full and complete undisputed
corporate and administrative possession.

John Hickman nt Chester.
rOorresvmderkee of The Prene.)
OnrsTrat, Aug. 8, 1858
Notwithstanding the extreme beat of the weath
or, the old court house was crowded to overflowing
last evening, to bear the address of the Hon. John
Hickman to the Democracy of Chester, upon the
issues of the day. Many were unable to gain ad.
mission on account of the great number present.
Tho doorways and windows were completely filled
with those who wore anxious to bear the renowned
champion of the great fundamental doctrines of
Demooreoy. The address was net apologetioal in
character or tone; no excuses were offered, nor
forgiveness asked ; no timorous misgivings on the
part of the speaker indicated the. possibility of
mistakes committed, or that doubts were enter
tabled, but the entire addrestfwas delivered with
the air of a man innately conscious of rectitude,
integrity, and of right, of the ultimate triumph of
truth and justice The spirit, the earnestness, the
sincerity, the honesty, that was evolved in every
sentence, fully justifies the application to the
speaker of that fine compliment paid to Lord
Chatham, that "there was something in the man
higher than the orator."
Mr. Hickman reviewed at length the course o!
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania upon the
eubjset of slavery in the Territories. the radical
change between the adoption of the Wilmot provi•
so in the State Convention in 1940, and the recog
nition of the great principle of popular sovereign•
ty. He animadverted with powerful effect upon
the consistency of those pretended Democrats,
who at ono time said that slavery should not
go where the law allowed it to go, and who now
clamor against there who do not desire it to go
where the law and the people are against its go•
leg. He enumerated, in a succinct manner, the
many distinct pledges given by the Democratic
party. that the people of the Territories should be
left PERVECTLY rase to regulate their domestic
institutions in their OWN war; adduced the fact that
no one can be found whopratenda that the Lecomp
ton Constitution is an embodiment of the will
of the people of Kansas, yet upon the whispered
threat that unless that Constitution be forced upon
the people, in violation of the mast solemn pledges,
that Alabama and Georgia would secede Honer
and principle must bo. tacrifised. Presidents and
Representatives must tremble at the imperious
and exacting demands of those who are deter
mined that the minority shall rule.
The speaker raid an eloquent tribute to a De
mocratic President, who neither failed nor faltered
in the days of nullification, who was raid to have
sworn that he would " bang the first traitor high
as II man." Mr. Hickman very tenderly left it
to the audience to draw the contrast between
Jackson's tone and that of the late special toes•
sage, and to their judgment he left the verdict of
pteferooce. He denounced the English bill in the
strongest terms, and with an indignant eloquence,
that told with tremendous effect, gave his rcaso•s
for retusing to vote fora bill that discriminated
so strongly against his constituents; that, under
its provisions, it would require three of them
to equal one constituent of the Southern exac-
Gelatins
Mr llickman's concluding remarks were de
voted to an exposition of his views upon the tariff
question, which were well resolved. Ilisspoech
