We cannot see why papers professing to be loyal should publish extracts from the New York Herald, New York World, and other papers of like stripe, in their abuse of the executive Department at Washington, the Commander in chief, &c. True, that sort of stuff was sent by the news agent at New York over the telegraphic wires, but what then? Are editors obliged to print everything which may thus be sent them?—Bath Sentinel.
One day's telegraphic news consisted of the insane ravings of some New York papers. The Herald and World should be ignored.
