What a homily on. the liber- ty of the press ? . Are we to go back to the times of Juniosi or are we to inaugurate in t is „Domisaion the despotism of Napoleon III., and not to allow the press speak out boldly and distinctly on matters of public interest'? Has come to this, that Canadian Statesnien *ill stand up and tell ns that the legi- timate influence of the .press .is bad. rime what Burke once said : " Give them a. corrupt House of Commons ; give,: them a venal House .of Lorde ; give •thein teuckling Prince ; but give me a Free Press and.I defy them. to encroacla one Bow on the liberty! of England." No wonder, however, tat. Dr. McGill decries the influence of the • press. It has been found dangerous to him. It has interfered with his deser- tion; and beeits influence he -has been. humiliated. We 'naturally hate that which tends to thwart us in our. selfish designs, and eot unfrequently do we rebel against :4thfluences which, Aid they not exist, the dishonest could in- dulge their mischievous propensi ies with impunity. 1 We are iglad to see that the peopl South •Ontario _have in such an o way brought.
