5959. NEWSPAPERS, Official.—

You
have seen too much of the conduct of the
press in countries where it is free, to consider
the gazettes as evidence of the sentiments of
any part of the government; you have seen
them bestow on the government itself, in
all its parts, its full share of inculpation.—
To George Hammond. Washington ed. iii, 331. Ford ed., v, 436.
