Identifier: CMMA I-1-m

Scope and Contents

In reply to Taylor's letter of Feb. 20, the Postmaster General will consider readmitting the Freeman's Journal and Daily News to the mails if they give similar proofs of good faith to those given by the Journal of Commerce. The latter paper, discarding the sentiments of the late editor, placed in charge a man whose loyalty to the Constitution and the Union was not doubted, and who is vouched for by responsible gentlemen engaged in aiding the Government put down rebellion or treason. The publishers of these papers can give similar guarantees, local assurances of which are needed by this department before it can take a chance on distributing matter designed to destroy the very government of which it is a part. :: I-1-m A.L.S. Copy 2pp. 8vo.
