eider it his or her duty to subscribe to a local newspaper. The newspaper proprietors prove, by their surprising en terprise that the support accorded them is not thrown away. Here, the Niagara Falls Gazette, a paper about the size of the Nelson Colonist, is published daily duting the months of June, July, August, and September, the busy season, and eveiy week during the remainder of the year. The people are not so th ; n-skinned about Jibel, and consequently the critisisms of the Press on actions of public men and public measures are much more lively, and spsrkle with much more sarcasm than the editorials in our colonial papers. There is no mistake about it, the Press has got freedom in this country, and consequently great abuses, iobbery ard frauds, are brought to light, and are exposed without any mercy. The Americans have learnt that the best and truest friend and safeguard to tbe people's rights and privileges is a free Press. If a njwspaper proprietor is mulcted m damages and costs for a libel, it is very rare he lias t j pay one cent himself. The hat is passed round, and not infrequently enough is col lfcted to pay all Court demands and to allow a presentation to be made to the defendant in the case."
