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 provilions relate 1 to the press .• from jealou liies entertained that congress might ufarp 1,. , , J i suo V'.r, - ?■( r.-- . hibited from pafilng “an law abridging the freedo.Yi of lpeech or ot the prets” — 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 tlie people."* Fro 1 this view of the con iftitution it follows, that it not only did not confer the power on congress, that the (late courts were proper tribunals to be resorted to for the piH>tection of magistrates again ft !:bdr., and that if eongreis would aflame the powers of legif!at‘ng tn one in fiance where they were not eiven thev might in otners, and th’’t conftitiui u would 1 ft nniv hs come a dead letter, but the jurifdrFtion and tove- j reignty of ti e ftnies would be gradually undermined and fir n l v proftiated.

The editors oi the aFdairee, and with them j 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 ble.
