T 1 LAW OF LII3E:L.
Circumstances, of which the readers of the
Post are doubtless aware, have recently com-
pelted us to bestow a portioa of our personal
attention upon the law of ithel. The publi-
cation in, our paper some time last summer of
an extract from a paper published in a neigh..
boring county, gave cause of grave offence to
a gentleman, (we pause to consider if this
word, thus applied, can hold him up to ridi
cule and contempt,)—to a gentleman of
t_qeenshurg, who was a member of the Leg
islature-- (this would perhaps be esteemed a
libel by some, for the title " Hon." does not
always imply an honorable man,)--and who is
a member of the bar. This gentleman, legis
lator and lawyer, was also a politician—a bit
ter one, and a candidate for re-election to the
Roue of Representatives. The paper from
which we made the extract above alluded to,
was opposed to this gentleman's election, and
we took it for granted that in the tournament
of an exciting political campaign, when there
are " blows to take as, well as blows to give,'
that both the editof,and the politician had
character enough and sense enough to under-
stand the nature of such conflicts, and know
that if any wounds were inflicted, they
were looked upon by the public as only skin
deep." It was therefore with surprise that
we learned, on the eve •_oe leaving the city
on the day the publication was made, that we
had deeply offended William A. Cook,
Esq., of Greensburg, by copying the para-
graph alluded to in our paper, and as pressing
and important business called us from the city,
we gave especial directions to the gentleman
left in charge of our paper, if Mr. Cook should
call, to give him every honorable satisfaction—
to publish any article he might write in reply.
But the open and Manly course of calling
upon us for an explanation, which ho had con
fidently expected from Mr. Cook, as we
should from any other gentleman to whom we
had given offense, was not adopted by Mr.
Cook. However his character may have been
regarded among those by whom he was best
known, we had so ill-will against him. It did
i n d
no latter to 117/er in Westmoreland
c ay he was esteemed a very large or
a very small political potato—whether his
fellow-members of the bar looked upon him as
a Shyster or a Gibson. We copied the para.
graph concerning him exactly as we would
have done any other political squib of the day
—without malice or ill-will. But Mr. Cook
was a lawyer, and as law has been defined to
be " perfection of reason," we presume he
had perfectly good reasons for the course he
has chosen to pursue. He knew enough about
the technicalities of his prelession to think
that he could convict us of libel, and he is
welcome to the satisfaction, if satisfaction it
is, of knowing that we have been convicted of
a technical 'We do not feel auy worse

our honor, our conscience, or sense of pro
" priety in conductiDg a public press, have
suffered not. We 'lave lost no selfurespect,
and nothing in the respect of our fellowmen.
But Mr. Cook has ha,' his character bandied
from mouth to mouti, and himself and his
antecedents most thoi•.ughly discussed. He
drew this public attenion upon himself, , and
we are too ge9,4-naiured to desire to let him

not cruel or unkind. We oommend to his
especial consideration the lines from Burns,

The law of libel is little understood by the
public, even that portion of them who are
connected with the press. Our recent expe
riences with Mr. Cook as above related, have
especially drawn our attention to this subject,
and we have examined it somewhat attentively,
We propose to give our readers at some length
a compendium of such information as we have
obtained; accompanied with such observations
as suggest themselves to our mind as we pro
gress. The subject is one vitally connected
with that palladium of popular rights—the
liberty of the press, and a correct knowledge
of it, and a just appreciation of it is of vital im
p,' tance, to the preservation of that liberty and
the cultivation of its utility. Those who ex
amine into the exac' limits of their privileges
are not usually the first to disregard them by
trespassing upon the rights, feelings or repu
tations of others. A correc' appreciation of
his own rights will generally restrain the vir,
tuous man from invading the corresponding
rights of his neighbor. In this country, where
the newspaper press wields so powerful an in•
titmice upon the manners and morals of the
people, and where partizan politics S 3 fre•
quently assume an aspect, if not of ferocity,
at least of a feeling which cannot for the tune
be termed amiable - political excitement, it is
important that those who conduct the press
should understand not only their rights and
privileges, but their dangers and responsibili
ties in performing their functions.
It cannot be expected that within the brief'
limits of a newspaper article, we should be
able to give a full history and exposition of
the subject of libel—a branch of jurisprudence
which has attracted the attention and em
ployed the talents of the most astute minds
in the legal profession, both in England and
in this country—but we hope to be able to
adduce sufficient to at least invite the atten
tion of those wore immediately interested to
a more ample investigation.
The offense.of libel and the provisions for
its punishment do not originate in common
law. A libel is a written or printed slander,
and long after the common law had assumed
a definite shape, there existed what was
known as the " benefit of clergy," which iu
other words was a protection against criminal
prosecution to all who could read and write.
Thus, under the English common law, those
who, from education, . could be guilty of the
offense of libel, were screened from punish
ment. The distinction between written and
verhafslander were, however, recognized by
the civil law, even from the time of Solon, who
denounced the severest penalties against libal
lers, and especially against libellers of the
dead. In the Athenian code the publishing
of a libel was a higher species of offense than
the mere uttering of a slander. lie who at%
tempted to- injure the humblest artizan by
disparaging his pursuit or decrying the honor
of his station, was severely punished. Libels
against the State were treated with the greatest
severity. Phidias, the sculptor, was prose
cuted for libel and thrown into prison, for
representing upon a shield of Minerva some
designs, deemed discreditable to the ancient
history of the city and it founder, Theseus.
The Romans, who derived their laws from
Greece, also distinguished between libel and
slander. The Decemviri put libellers to
death, while slanderers received a mitigated
punishment. In the more enlightened times
of the Csesers, libels were still punished, but
prosecutors were looked upon with disgust.
Al any of the satires of Horaee are libellous,
but in his day the truth could be given in evi
dence, and we do not read that the Roman
poet was ever brought before a court of jus
tice—perhaps because his patron Augustus
was an especial friend to the wits and satirists
of the age. His successor, Tiberius, suffered
from the sharp pens of the Roman satirists,
and he caused the law of libel to be restored
to its first principles, and thus it remained
until reduced to a code by Constantine, which
FEBRUARY 15
code was introduced into the Star Chamber
by Sir Edward Coke, and was received as the
English Common Law rule in respect to li
bels.
Such is a very brief history of the origin of
the law of libel.
The offense could not become common until
after the art of printing was discovered, and
as the laws of chivalry superseded all corns
mon and statutory laws until the time of the
Henrys, personal matters of all kinds were
usually settled by an appeal to arms. It is
only within the last two hundred and fifty
years that the offense and its punishment
have assumed a definite position.
One of the most accurate and approved
legal cominentator3 has defined the offense of
libel to be " a malicious defamation, expressed
either in writing or printing, by signs, pic
tures, &c., which set a man in an odious and
ridiculous light, and thereby diminish his rep
utation." In Pennsylvania, the remedy is
both criminal and civil. The indictment is
predicated upon the offense to society by the
publication of slander in an enduring form,
thus directly tending to a breach of the peace
by provoking the person libelled to break it,
and. under this remedy the offense was the
same whether the published matter be true or
false ; but a year or two since an act was
passed allowing defendants in libels to prove
the truth, and that the publication was made
ith good motives and for justifiable ends, in
order to rebut the presumption of malice.
The civil act on for libel is to recover personal
damages
Here we may remark that the publisher of
a newspaper assumes a largo responsibility,
He is placed in a position which requires him
to judge when, where and how the public
good requites the exposure of the crimes,
frailties and misfortunes of individuals. The
dangerous vices of some men require publicity
in order that they may be guarded against—
and the enlightened press never shrinks from
such a duty. But it may and often does happen
that libels against private individuals are the
result of malice, and not from a due regard
for the public good. Such publications de
grade the press. The design of the publisher
is the measure of his guilt in case of publish
ing libellous matter. It is this question which
courts and juries should investigate in trials
for libel. The intention of the publication is
of more consequence than the fact whether the
matter published be true or false.
In England there are various kinds of libels;
as against religion and morality ; against the
State and Constitution ; against the King and
his government, against Parliament, Courts of
Justice, and Magistrates, as well as libels
against private persons. Practically in Amer
ica the libel against private persons may be
said to be the only one known. The quest
Lion is an unsettled one as to what the law of
libel should be, in order that we may conform
to the spirit of our national institutions. Our
present statutes in Pennsylvania are defective.
The law presumes malice from the fact of pub
lication, and makes a principal responsible
both criminally and civilly for the act of his
agent, even though that act be done without
his knowledge or against his express commands.
Another anomaly exits. A man brings his
suit against a publisher for libel s, or, as the
phrase goes, " he sues for his character," and
in the course of the trial it is discovered that
he has no character, or at all events, so bad
that it could not well be made worse; yet if
the very substance of the charge is not proven,
he is entitled to a verdict. Why should the
,defendent in a suit for libel be placed in a
worse posit ion than the criminal charged with
larceny ? There is great room for improves
ments in our laws upon this subject, in order
to make them of such a character as to prop
erly roach malice, and at the same time pros
tect those who conscientiously and faithfully
perform their duty to the public, and we hope
some of our learned legislators may find time
to examine into and remedy the evils com
plained of.
ID conclusion, we remark that it is in the
highest degree creditable to the conductors of
the press, that notwithstanding the immense
and increasing number of newspapers in the
country, and the high excitement to which
party feelings sometimes rise, so few suits for
libel occur. The press, as well as the people,
favor the " largest liberty," but very few o
those who conduct the " powerful engine which
rules the world," are inclined to a licen-
tioiNuse of their position, and there is always
in the community a stock of good sense which
frowns down and discourages all abuses of the
privilege of power, no matter what may be
its station. Recklessness and mendacity will
not be tolerated ; vulgarity and ignorance will
not be supported. Independence of opinion
and action, high.toned morality, intelligent
observation, combined with enterprise and
public spirit, in those who asliume to control
the press, will cause to be enjoyed in its ful
lest and most beneficial extent the greatest
blessing of a free State. Make the press re
sponsible for its errors, but free it from all
unnecessary restraints upou a safe liberty, by
such a revision of the law of libels as will
make it consonant with common justice and
common sense.

adopt to give themselves a clear and fresh
complexion, she said :

which was retailed to the tea and coffee drink.
