LIBERTY of the tress. The late tria
and conviction ci Hary Croffvvell, for a li
bel on Mr. JefFerfon, has as might be
expected, set every federal press in the union
in flaming zeal tor the protection of the
liberty of the press
To the dodirine of the Englifli common
law, that the truth shall not be given in
evidence, we can never fubferibe—and tho’
the infamy of federal productions, for
falsehood and want of (liame, is such that
they deserve-no mercy, we have not yield
ed our opinion. We hesitate not to fay
that the prosecution of Croffwdl at common
law, was, in our judgement, improper.
For once, therefore, the federal prefies are
in the right. But the memory of the past
should make them mode!!. The remarks,
taken from the Bee which follow, will set
i than in their true light.
It has uniformly been our opinion that
public bodies* ought not to be (hielded by any
law in their favor. Not that a libel on
them was not criminal, but as they would
be under a flrong not to be (hielded bv any
law in their favor. Not that a libel on
t/iem was not criminal, hut as they would
be under a ft rung temptation to guard from
difeufiion their evil deeds, and hence origi
nate a greater evil than would pofiibly fol
low the moft licentious publications. Yet
every individual of that body who should
conceive himfelf injured, ought to have the
right of prosecuting for redress In fact,
individual reputation should ever be sacredly
guarded ; public bodies are complied of
individuals who alone can receive the final
injury of improper publication , and whom
it is one object oFthe law to protedc.
Yet it rnuft he acknowledged that the adts
of public bodies being made up of individu-
the refporfibilitv of each is Lflened in
proportion to the number, and unless a very
conliderable latitude is given in difeufiion,
liberty may be endangered.
(The fubjcS to be continued.)
We have not been disappointed in our ex
pedition that tne anti-republican papers
would unite in representing the late convic
tion of Crofwell, ci-devant editor of the Wasp,
as an invasion of the liberty of the press.
The last Balance promises a hiftorv of this
trial; but judgfrg from the pad specimens
vve have had o their love of truth, candor,
and ingenou Chefs, we Anticipate an account
highly partial and ditlrtgeauous. We feall
however await its appearance before we ful
ly enter upon the fuije£t. The Balance
editors have called our /hurt notice of the
trial falfe. Such language is not uncom
mon to that chaste and modest paper ; to
expcift good manners Cr breeding from
either the ci-devant pnrfon or the Wafpilh
editor would be as absurd as the attempt to
extract oil from radifees. Though Croi
well hid not a tingle witness by whom to
prove the truth of his libel ; though Callen
der himfelf lias declared that the publication
in question was a faliliood ; yet Crolwell
ventufed to make oath that Caltend r versa
material witness, and that by him he expect
ed to make out the fads. Had not Callen
der given the lie direct to the publication
—had he been present to confirm its truth
his character was too well undcrilood to gain
him credence. This affidavit, therefore,
under all these circnmftances we hesitate,
notin declaring to be a barefaced, wretched
attempt to influence public opinion, ana to
found the toefin of alarm.
The balance editors change the retmbli-
cans with inconsistency, reprobating the Edi
tion law and approving Crofweirs convi&i.
on. Charges like this have often been
made and as often refuted. We again repent
it, that the obje&ions to the act of Congress
called the iedition law did not arise from
any idea that libellous publications oughc
to escape with inpunity and to go unpu
nifeed, but they were directed to the inter
ference of congress at all, on the ground of
a want of conftitutior.nl jurisdiction. The
constitution, as firft adopted, contained ac

by another amendment it was provided, 1
that** the powers not delegated to the Uni
ted States nor prohibited i>v it to the dates
are teferved to the llatts rrfpective'y or to

to for the piH>tection of magistrates again ft

r-.hnoft the whole phalanx of federal editors l
A
complain that t} ie laws of the state, m not j
permitting the truth to be given in evidence j
Oil an indictment fora libel, are unjust and ’
! tyrannical. To these gentlemen we have a j
few questions to propound. First when I
Frothingham, the printer of the window
Greenleat's paper, was indicted fume f-vv
years lince for a libel on Gen. Hamilton, j
did not Mr. justice Radclift, together the I
then mayor, Mr. Varick, and the then re-1
corder, iV‘r. Harrison, re hue to permit him
to give the truth in evidence 1 Was he j
not indidled and convidled under .the very
fame law upon which CYofweli has been-in
didfted and convicted r Did not Mr. Frotli
ingham lhew on the trial the piece he puh
lifined implicating Gen. Hwa only an ex-:
trad, and a literal one, from a New-Jersey
paper and did not the aforefaid court then
declare that it was 110 mitigation or exten
uation of his offence ; that lie cunt ibuted
to the circulatiomof it, and was therefore
equally rdponfible as though he had com
posed it ? Was not Frutliingham senten
ced to imprisonment for montlis and severe
ly fined or thus publifniug libel i A e pre
sume that even the Ballance editors, with
all their faculty at giving the lie, dare not
answer these interrogations in the negative.
If, then, the law was adopted and rigorously
•enforced against a republican printer, that
the truth could not be given in evidence
upon an indictment fora libel, with what
propriety can the Fcderaliits, after having
permitted this law to remain, now clamor
when it it called into exercise to punifli one
of the moft fy-ftematic and execrable libel
lers in the United Mates ? when was the
convidion of Frothingham arraigned b r
the federal editors ? when was it represented
as an infringement of the liberty of the
press ? Vic anfvver never. The law was
respected, was jnfl—he ha 1 libelled gen.
Hamilton ; as refpeds a libel on the firfl
magistrate of the Union it is unjust., it is
tyrannical, it is deftrudive of the liberty ot
tne press. anis is inc log.c of £ ecicvahfts
and this vi e leave them to reconcile. Their
kps ought to be sealed on this fehied. B
the law on which Crofwell’s conviction took
place is hostile to freedom arid a republican
government, why did they, not after the
trial and conviction cf Froth ingham, mar.-
fully itep rorth and corrcd it r No, the
common law of England was then light, it
was a stupendous fabric of wisdom which,
they revered ; but now the tables are turned
its lam impends over one of the brother,
hood, and it is ah that is vile and detesta

on i’hu fday !a!t, in this citv,
Doctor George Gatterer. His remains
j were on Friday attended to the place of
j buna! by his brother soldiers, the artillery
j corps, and a very refpectabUaiTtmblage of
j masonic brethren and friends. In him Sa
; vannah has indeed sustained a real loss. His
j talents in the d.feharge of his proteffioral
duties were well known and the services he
has rendered as a surgeon will be long re
membered.
Doctor Gatterer was a native of Germa
ny. He uad received very liberal education
