The following remarks BY Mrs. Rovali on
me Editorial corps give materially different !
character OF that body, from what one would |
imagine TO be the correct one, if he formed his |
OPINION from the characteristics attributed by |
different Editors to each Other
The extensive circustiGn Of the oarsgrap oh |
shows that we relish the fat,ery as we'll as any
other men,--or women, --and are wiling 10 re-
eelve u from any source. II would be very
comfortable If our readers could be induced TO
swallow It as easily as ourselves
II have more than cnce observed. |
that the Editors are the most feeling
men IN our country; and upon several
accounts the most deserving and, what
is equally true, the worst rewarded in
proportion to their deserts An Editor
is always at home; he is always unen
gagged, ne listens with attention; he
hears with patience; he is quick a, dis
corning; he is patieas OF wrongs; CRATE |
tui for favors; he exposes the presump-
tIons and advocates merit; foe TO vice;
friend to virtue; an enemy to oppres
sion, and the nsver failing friend to
the injured. They toll at the car day
and night, to improve, instruct and a
muse mankind. fit were not for them
the world would revert back to bar
barism. The watchtowers of our H.
berries, they are the life and soul and
sinews, as well as the glory Of the
country However they may differ in
politics, they agree in all these; and
yet many of these men do not make |
their bread. How ungratelul!l!"
Our readers will perhaps smile with
us, when they learn that il seriously an
nounced in the Provid ence Literary
Subaltern-- ''that the Hon. DAM. WEE
sTER of Mass. will be selected by Gen.
Jackson for his Secretary of State."--
