LIBERTY of the PRESS. “ Curfd is the man, and void cf law and right, Unworrhy property, unworthy light ; Unfir lor public rule or private care, That wretch, that monftcr who delights in trat ; Whofe lull is murder, and whofe horrid joy, To tear his country and his kind deftro*.” Pope's HiaJ, “ Without freedom of tho’t there can be no fuch thing as wifdom ; and no fuch thing as public liberty without freedom of fpeech : which is the right of every man, as far as by it he does not hurt and controul the right of another ; and this is the only check which it ought to j fufFer, and the only bounds which it ought to know. I 44 Whoever would overturn the liberty of the nation, mud begin by fubduing the freedom of fpeech. j “To do publicmifchief with out hearing of it, is the prero gative and felicity of tyranny, j All miniders therefore, who ; were oppreffors, or intended to be oppreflbrs, have been loud ill their complaints againft the freedom of fpeech, and the li cenfe of the prefs; and always redrained or endeavored to re drain both.

And in one of his epi flies, (peaking of the works of his uncle, he makes an apology for eight of them, as not written with the fame vigor : wliich was to be found in the ■ reft;; for that thefc eight were ; written in the reign of Nero , : when the fpirit of writing was - tramped by fear,” Catos Letters • £3“ Agreeable to Orders from : Brigadier General Morrifon, all Commijfioned OJftccrs % in the Coun [ ty of Jtffcrjon , with the Jirfl Ser . jeant and Adjutant, of each Com pany, are required to attend at Louifville , on THURSDAY, the twenty third day of May next ; hkewife ihe Companies to meet at the fame place on FRIDAY, the ?. 4 th of May , by ten o'clock in the forenoon, equipped as the law directs.
