orMrIoMS OF OscOETEyr. We .harl
noticed more than once that some of IN,
Georgia papers exhibit signs of disconten
and dissatisfaction, at the new order o
things under the administration Of Presi
dent Jackson. The following is from The
Georgia Journal, the Official organ of ,lie
State and the State of the United States
II will be observed that its lists of editors
rewarded is quite imperfect. Mr.. Niles
the gentleman who pushed mr., Norton from
his stool at Hartford, Is believed to have
been virtually the editor of the Times, and
mr.. Greenleaf Of Portsmouth has had the
reputation Of being an editor Of a paper in
that place; besides many others of smaller
note, not rec collec ted /, and too tedious 10 C.

EDIroRs. This most ancient and hon.
orable fraternity have lately grown into
prodiglous favor with the powers that be.
In the distribution of. the favors of the pre-
sent administrator, our brethren of the
type have at last got something like taste
OF the good things going. Look at the
the following list--all editors-snugly
provided for, except friend Norton, who
had scarcely got seated at the table, and
taken knife and fork in hand, when he was
unceremoniously directed to give. up. seat,
knife and fork, plate and all, TO another. =.

How does it happen, we wonder, that
We have been forgotten? Ifwe were ad.
dicted to complain about any thing; we
would be after making rumpus about it,,
But we will keep quiet little while longer.
Perhaps our turn may come next. If the
President should see this, and he loses
great deal, we can assure him, if he does
not read the Journal constantly, advertise
ments and ull, we hope he will take the
hint. 1t he only knew the qualms of con.
science we have tried to stifie, in giving
countenance to his election, he would moi
hesitate moment. What If we have
fhoaght that the choice between him and
Dir. Adams, was choice between ipecac
and tartar; we don't recollect to have. used
exactly these words in our paper, and
thoughts can't do much harm to any body.
And now that we have made the choice,
and swallowed the tartar, with as little con-
tortion Of counteDsnce as possible, we al g
surely entitled to something palstable to
work it off with. We do hope the Presi.
dent will think of this. .itN
A contemporary throws the following
hint. II is good ons~-we like it pro!
digiously. Let us take the experiment.
No harm can come of it, that's certain.
=" IL will be good notion for our frater-
nifty to organise itself, and hereafter GO in
body, in whatever direction they may
Judge to be most for their advantage. They.
will thus have it in their power to choose
the President, (for they can always carry
the People along with them, if they only
stick together and the distribution of the
Offices among themselves, will follow of
course. There are plenty of offices for
every editor in the country--from those
who Issue daily sheet large enough for a
table cloth, to the distributor of ink over
surface no bigger than doiey.
