whether any government has, within the
last century, placed itself in SO ridiculous
IA liohtq- only ridiculous, but con-
temptible. Will not any honest man con-
fess at once that General Gaines, or any
authority clothing him with the discretion
so indiscreetly used, would never have
dreamed of the like against government
able and ready to defend itself, and pun
ish such arroSance2 What is Europe to
say to this! Will not Mexico complain
And will there be no sympathy for her

between General Gaines, and the officers

EDITORIAL TROUBLES. The follow
ing disclosures of an editors troubles are
from an English paper. 1.-THE author has
disclosed all bis troubles, or even the hun
dredth part of them, he must have been
singuiarlv fortunate man, and must have
lived in other times. An editor-but it
won't do, somebody will suspect US Of ia
tentions upon them.-CAr. WatcAman
An editor cannot step without tread
ing on somebody's toes. If he expresses
his opinion fearIessly and frankly, he is
arrogant and presumptuous if he mere
~ states facts without comment, he dares
not avow his sentiments. If he conscien-
tlous! Y refuses 10 advocate the claims Of
an individual to office, he is accused of
personal hostility. A Jackanapes who
measures off words in verse as clerk
: does tape by the yard, hands him parcel
of stuff that jingles like handful of rusty
} nails and gimblet, and if,he editor is not
fool enough to print the nonsense-'Stop
my paper, won't patronise man that is
no better judge of poetry!' One muir
5 murs because his paper is too literary -
another, because it is not literary enough;
] one would have the type SO small that
? microscope would be indispensable in ev-
$ cry family; another threatens to discon-
5 tnue his paper unless the letters are half
: an inch long. In fact, every subscriber
r has plan Of his own for conducting
r journal and the labor of Sisyphus was
S recreation, when compared with that of an
: editor who undertakes TO please alI.'
