'NiUty Jonriialiflm Is. the tftlo of an artidlo in tho Springfleld Republican , ts In' which the writer deals some at; a clac3 of newspapera, tho numbers of which arejncreasing in tho East, that are devoted to iUastrationa of scenes of violence, crime and lust. Ho eays: "If the Puritan element in tho country has done asserting itself and intends to lie under the feet of licence, let us know it, and hear no more prating of morals. These ' Journals are just what we have been, as a nation, decrying tho use of in Europe; and herb they are full blown among us, more numerous, more filthy, and cheaper than in England or France. They are sold everywhere, in cars, steamboats, and on hotel steps: to brill cr rile ask thonewsbovfl eotfntrvrjeo " " them copies, and always look disappointed when they do not come;Every one in America knows enough about tho under world' without having it dragged ! . . into his notice." It is a lamentable fact that the liberty of the press, which is so much lauded aa one of the great blessings of our age and nation, has degenerated into license. A free press, when properly used, is a source of great good to those who enjoy it; but, when abused, it becomes an injury and a curse to alL who come within the range of its influence. "We are no friend of despotism; but wo have often thought .that the exercise of arbitrary authority for a sufficient length' of time to stop the issue of sheets which are a disgrace to journalism would be an unmitigated benefit to the people. A: great number of tho evils under which the nation Is how groaning are directly traceable to corrupt and unprincipled journalism. Journalists havo not been prompted, as a class, by. high, pure but they have been in the market for the nigbesC bidderrwillingf to sell themselves, their influence with the public, and their columns,' for money; and this, too, without regard to: tho good or evil to be wrought but by their so doing.

He could freely cay that in some respects thero never had been a religious society that could be compared with that, not only in the, fact of very many , individuala of? marked character and difference of opinion worbut it was withoutj king together jar; equally reinarkable in a pecuniary point of view.
