or poetry, by comments upon current
events, by leading editorials on occasion,
the editor should aim to - stimulate , the
intellect and improve the morals of his
readers. He should ever defend the
right sustain the majesty of the laws
.and the power of the Government. As
a public teacher, hoOught not to be sus
pected of indifference or dissimulation
—but be earnest in support of all mat
ters affecting the sociaband moral im
provement of A's readers. Within cer
tain restrictions a .tewepaper is open to
advertisers, but it should not be' the
medium for vile advertisements, how
ever delicately worded. No ; man has
'any right to shock the modesty of the
home circlet by advertising tipsy - rums
that Invite to social immoralitY: it is
a heinous offense to publish the an
nouncement of Pills, that, if efficient,
tempt to pollution. A fearful responsi
bility rests on those who thus. demoral
• ize ignorant youth, and Incite older
persons to criminal indulgence.
An editor should respect the rights of
the humblest. It is easy for him, seat
ed Upon the tripod, to denounce , the
worthy, impugn their motives, pervert
their acts, and perhaps crush them by
the ponderous Influence he exerts. The
maxim that the Ballads of-a nation are
More potent thffilitS Laws, was true
before the glorious Art, preservative of
all Arts; was discovered. Now, the
lever that moves the WOrld is that of
the Press. Those whom. Providence
has permitted to control it should be
men free from mercenary motives, ap
preciating the high and holy trust, and
zealously devoted to the discharge of
every duty. If the fountain be pure,
the stream will be also. Human nit
; ture Is sadly imperfect. The daily strain
is felt to be beyond that of any through
resistance, and if a man is in a position
where temptations to pa ssion, populari
ty and greed abound, he needs to ex
ercise especial care lest be be overcome.
The safety of the Republic depends
,
upon the morality of the people.. Ed
, itors are public teasehers: Their audi
ence is made up of the susceptible, the
erring, • the ignorant, and those who
strive to do right. The finally news
paper enters the home upon its mission
of usefulness. Its merits and lefeets
may bo unduly estimated,but it is a pow
eefer evil or good. The conscientious ed
itor
must accept toil, be content to be
:ignored by the self-sufficient, to be
regarded as a mere compiler of the
: thoughts of others, at.dealer in plati
tudes, an ,egotist who aspires to he an
oracle, a servant of all, one whose duty
requires him to" puff" the living, and
eulogize the dead, who, by dying, con
• ferred upon the community the only
favor an impartial biographer would
discover. It requires courage to press
on when one is not appreciated, or is
held - to be the pack-horse of the party.
An editor should remember that no
code of - morals was made for his benefit.
He should not suppress truths ; garble
statements or pervert facts, on the plea
that party necessity is as imperative as
'that of military necessity was during
the war. He shopld be honest in his
writings, and in all transactions.
It follows that stealing editorials is a
'misdemeanor. it is to be regretted that
our laws take no cognizance of such
flagrant sins. There are some newspa
pers that one cannot clip from, as the
editorial columns are invariably stolen
from a wide circle of exchanges. Sen
timental or humorous articles and local
items are the chief objects of plunder.
If an editor elaborates an idea, or
clothes a fact in fitting garb, it is his
own property. ' If adopted by another,
or placed under the head of " local
clippings,"'it is simply stealing, where
no e t rediis given to the original wri
t ter, it is honorable to do business up
on borrowed capital, but• not upon sto
len, and lie who purloins from the
pages of his exchanges is generally de
tected, and his conduct inspires eon
tempt.
A country editor has the oversight of
the mechanical department, and should
studiously seek for the moral welfare of
his apprentices andjourney men. If
his word is inviolate and Nis integrity
unquestioned, he can do much t01n
ae......0 alum- avoid the pc.e.uriar
temptations 'trident to their migratsy
paths of virtue, it may be from lack of
proper example or counsel. The boy
who plies the ' roller" may heroine one
of the influential or notorious l editors
'of the succeeding generation. No one
can so mould the life of the youth; and
what ho can effect for good will blos- I
• soni long after he is laid beneath the
willow.
An editor should be impervious to
the charge of being mercenary. He
should not " justify the wicked for a
reward." His principles should never
be . flexible, but be firmly based upon
the immutable laws of Right, as de-:
veloped by Christianity.
It is thus seen that Editorial Ethics
have a wide range, and deserve: to be
made prominent in our deliberations.—
If we truly search for Light in onrjour
ney, it will beam upon us with cheer
ing rays. The mission of cull editor is
so exalted that it ought to satisfy the
highest ambition. It is of small con
, ' sequence whether his purse be collapsed
or plethoric. He is a Tribune of the
People. Let him rejoice in the fact.—
The worthy President of this Associa
tion has been thrice dazzled by the
glare of the Legislative honors, but we
rejoice that he did not worship t he gold
en calf.- IC any of us, in a moment of
weakness, are led to aspire td official
dsitinction, let us suppress the prompts
lugs of ambition, lest that we might be
more susceptible of the blandishments
that beset the unsophisticated, and,thus
fall from our high estate.

-FOR JUDGE OP WE SUPREME COURT
HON. H. W. WTELIAMS,
OP ALLEGREWP ChM'.
The constitutionality of, the Registry
Law of this State has been affirmed by
the Supreme Court. This will serious
ly interfere with the Democratic cus
tom of voting early and often.
Scitne notes of a visit to Arnot and its
mines will appear in the next number
of this paper. We had intended it for
this week, but so much other matter
was put in type meantime that the notes
have to be deferred.
The law passed by the late legislature,
abolishing the 29th Judicial District,
was declared unconstitutional, null and
void by the Supreme Court, in bane,
last week. This settles the matter, and
provewill a landmark which future
legislatures may well heed. The opin
ion of the Court was unanimous.
Our colored friends will do well to
subscribe for The Progress of Liberty, a
weekly paper published by colored nien
in Harrisburg. It is published by O.
L. C. Hughes, is neatly printed, and
displays as much ability as the average
of journals. It is devdted to " all good
causes," and is not ashamed to tell the

Well, say that Cuba is free of Spin

In our opinion just that, and nothing
more. Spanish blood and Republican
ism do not agree. As with a people
struggling to be free we sympathize with
Cuba. But we do not look for a stable
government there, or elsewhere, uutil
the masses shall become intelligent.
THE FOURTH OF JULY
You may pity, but you cannot despise,
the man who still thinks of Washington
as a man without one of the weaknesses
which afflict humanity. There is an
excuse for him. He may have read no
more about the Father of his Country
than the littlefable of the cherry tree
and the hatchet, together With such
'chapters of his life as have crept into
the good-boys-who-died-young library.
For it must be rememliered that rev
erence for noble qualities, per
haps never had an existence, hvates
the soul as much as a personal, knowl
edge of those qualities.
It is not so clear that some men who
make great account of the Fourth of
July, deserves more pity than Contempt.
Every year we read spasmodic' efforts to
.., ._. __... ....,- /3112/(MS

of oblivion. You seldom pick up-a
Democratic priper during the month
preceding that day, that you do not find
a canting jeremiad about the decadence
of patriotism manifest in the growing
carelessness about celebrating, in good
old-fashioned style, the birthday of the
nation. We are told it is a day around
wch i sacred and venerable associations
, r
cl* g. A day set apart for all time by
the heroic sacrifices of our forefathers.
And so on.
Now, the God of natione, is no lover
of lipserviee ; nor does He delight in
gunpowder, orations, nor in drunken
ness, nor in idiotic eulogies of days.
Yet what is a " good old-fashioned cel
ebration " but an orgy ? What do you
mean by an old-fashioned celebration,.
if not much laudation of the men of the
revolution, much drinkingof whisky ?
Does any one, or do all of these things
constitute patriotism, or arty acceptable
ofihring to the God 'of Nations? We
guess not. .
But what strikes us as most peculiar
and out of place is the impudence of
the Democratic party in assuming to bel
the especial guardian of the Fourth of
July. When We remember (and shall
we ever forget or suffer our children to
forget?) that the liberties hespdken on
that first Fourth of July, have just been
rescued from destruction at the hands
of this same Democratic party, how
can its jeremiads upon the decadence of
patriotism provoke other than contempt
in , the e minds of thinking When
we remember that on.the fourth of July
in 1861, 1862, 1863, and 1864, this hypo-
Critical Democratic party was plotting
how 'to make the overthrow of liberty
in America certain, this annual lamen
tation over the failure to orate, get
drunk, and burn powder is seen in its
true light. , .
When we remember that during the
first days of July 1863, the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania were in Conven
tion singing OA praises of Vallaudig
ham, and while, at the same time, Lee
was giving them aid . and comfort at
Gettysburg—when we remember this,
it is not the most natural thing in the
world to sympathize with It in its sor
row for the decay of patriotism. The
leaders of that party have no interest in
the Fourth of July. They song o
destroy the liberties which it bespeaks.
They failed ; but their failure does not
entitle them to oblivion. So loig as
men can distinguish the false from the
true, and tinsel from true gold, so long
will they hold the pemocracy respon
sible for the convulsion which filled
the land with mourning and burdened
its industry with debt.
The truly patriotic man celebrates
the national birthday every day of his
life. It should be a daily thought, and
a daily thanks-returning, with every
man who holds self second to the good
of a 0 mankind. We have no desire to
see the Anniversary forgotten ; rather,
if it can be observed with decency, let
it be observed as a . holiday ; a day of
freedom from the cares of labor, but not
as a day of license. So mans people
are incapable of distinguishing liberty
from license on that, as on all other
days, that the Ordinary mode a of ' eele.
bration have grown to be serious abuses.
What would be said of the man who
should propose to make Thanksgiving
Day a day of beastly excess? But what
is The Fourth of July other than a
Thanksglying day ? . '
It is gratifying to know that the
old modei of observing the Fourth are
gradually giving way to more rational
ones. Pic-nits, addresses from the pul
pit, Reform meetings—all of these are
getting a deeper hold of popular regard.
Fireworks, which are always beautiful
and may be absolutely safe, are taking
precedence of cannon and musketry,
never pleasant and always dangerous.
There is room, then, for hopeof a bet
ter state of things, for an age when
noise shall not pass for patriotism.
Mark well that Republicans never
oppose afiy measure" to prevent frauds .
upon the pallet. Every Registry law
in the country, calculated to render il
legal Noting a matter of difficulty, is,
the work of Republicans. Democrats'
have invariably fought - such measures
tooth and nail. Last year Judge Shars
'Wood declared the Registry Law of 1868
unconstitutional. This year he declares
the Registry Law of-1869 unconstitU7
tional. The simple truth is that Judge
Sharswood and most of . his brethren in
politics will declare all laws intended
to prevent a man voting from twice to
twenltY times a day, unconstitutional.
With a fair ballot Graut and Griswold
would have carried New York State
last fall. With a fair vote the Republi
cans, can carry the city of Philadelphia
every year.
This is certain : The liberties of this
nation are more imperiled by election
frauds than thdy were by the war of
the Rebellion.; an4mless the fairmind
ed citizens arouse themselves and in
crease their vigilance :the institutions
which have cost so much to establish
will diappear like frost under the
morning sun.
The Virginia election resulted in fa
'Nor of the Conservative candidates on
the State ticket by a majority of from
30,000 to 40,000. The Congressional del
egation is divided, but the Legislature
stands 60 majority on Joint ballet for
the C.,nservatives, or Walker men.
Gov. Walker is a through Republican
and an enthusiastic supporter of Gen.
Grant. In a speech to the multitude
on the night succeeding the election
Gov. Walker said that the people must
not forget that the opportunity of vic
tory was giiren by Preiddent Grant.
The meeting broke up with three cheers
for Gen. Grant.
The new Constitution provides for
universal amnesty and universal suff
rage. One of
,the CongreSsmen is a
colored man. The negroes divided in
their vote at the election, and thus falls
the imputation of clannishness to the
negro. •
So Virginia returns to the Union
The election riots which annually
disgrace the large cities are engineered
by white men. Negroes do not vote in
New York, Philadelphia, Or Baltimore.
Yet no general election takes place in
- I.l.naz r•vEkA-
L i r l o n ken nit iZaTi and -- arms, and sever al
homicides resulting. The other day
therewas a disgracefOriot in Washing
ton City on-the dSy of the Charter elec
tion, and negroes helped to fight on
that day. The question we put is—if
the Washington riot argues the incapa
bility of the negro to vote, what do the
riots in the former cities argue touching
the capacity of the white voters as cit
izens ?
No answer is expected. You never
knew a Democratic editor quite so idiot
ic as to answer a fair question.
The first number of The North Caro
linian gavb us a pleasant eurprise and a
thrill of pleasure as it turned up in our
mail the other day. It is the second
newspaper venture of our old friend
Dr. John, the founder of the Columbia
Co. Republican, and like that we pre
dict, it will prove a success. The new
paper is published at Elizabeth City,
N. C., a smart town and al good point
for business. The Doctor indites a salu
tatory with all the fire which gave him
the title of "old War-Horse." He has
few equals in the art of infusing his
zeal into his columns, and if the people
will stand by him we can assure them
that they will sustain one of the truest
and staunchest of friends. Do we ex
change, Doctor ?
Those anxious, trouble-borrowing ed
itors, who fear that the " Irish vote "
is about to be transferred to the Repub
lican party, may dismiss their appre
hensions. There-&_ not the slightest
danger of such a transfer. " The Irish
Republican Association " of Philadel
phia, which' has given the Democracy
an ague chill of fear, is composed chief
ly of Protestants. Few who believe in
a union of Chilrch and State will vote
the Republican ticket. There is no
more hope for Rome than for any other
bishopric at the hands of the Reiibli-
Cans.
It plea l ses us to see that the Democracy
regard the renomination of Geti.iy as
the fellow looked upon the deluge after
vainly trying to take passage with fa
ther Noah. They are sure they can
beat Geary. Ah ! In 1863, when Cur
tin was renominated by the akin of
his teeth, these same fellows said they
Co • 'Quit him. They beat Curtin as
John Phenix flogged the editor of the
San Diego Herald, viz : John said he
inserted his nose into the Editor's mouth
and fell down with the editor atop.—
Geary will whip Cass, Packer, or any
other Railway King the Denfocracy can
put up.
The Philadelphia Press administers a
caustic re buke to the World and Trib
une, which papers criticised Gen.
Grant's absence from the funeral of
Henry S. Raymond. President Grant
has a way of attending to his own busi
ness. To stay over at Raymond's funer
al necessitated a midnight ride to Wash
ington, via Camden & Amboy. Had
Grant been a toady he would have staid
over a week to pay his respects at the
funeral. Not being a toady he went
about public boldness. "
