TheRestraint as it has applied in its application to the operations
of the press has taken two courses: a preventitive
and a prosecutive one: the liberty of the press
has in consequence two corresponding branches.
Those who say according to whose definitions the
liberty of the people exists in full perfection wherever
there is no censor of the press public Licenser might as
well say murder, robbery or theft are free
because there is no office for licensing any of
those crimes, and all the harm that can happen
to a man who committs any of them is that to
he will be hanged for it.
and all there is to restrain a man from committing any of them is that if he does he will be hanged for it
The prior branch of the liberty
of the press is
of the less importance in comparison of the posterior
inasmuch as when the exercise pretended abuse of it is turned
into a crime it is a crime in regard conviction
is from the nature of the case beyond most
others sure. It is an offence which requires
more than almost any other a multitude of
co-operators, and which to be committed to any
purpose must be committed in public and in
the face of day.
