of men I fear in all countries must be governed by these and nothing
else so effectually. None are so powerfully & beneficially acted on
by "Publicity" & its consequences as Judges — to none is it more happily
applicable — it is not the meer opening the doors of a Court —
at which few attend — & fewer still can interpose on the spot to
Resist abuse — It is the reporting of those present, to those absent —
by those who have quick ears, & ready memories or glib pens — to
those at a distance who are capable of appreciating, & judging, & acting
if need be — The Press alone can do this — & terrify evil-doers —
the free & anonymous comments of the Press — let its abuse be subject
to all the severity of your libel laws. Superadd thereon the six-act
penalty of deportation, if you will; but let the penalties be inflicted
after trial — with or even without a Jury, — so it be done, judicially
done, after hearing and determining in public — & not vindictively,
privately — summarily, & by the executive power, by the fellow servants
of the offended functionary.
